Social Greta Thunberg Megathread

[Wet Blanket]

The issue with your position is that despite decades of evidence being collected by the best and most experienced scientists on earth, and this data being presented again and again to world leaders, it's still ignored.

I'm glad this kid is bringing attention to such an important issue that many people are ignoring.

She's great.

Thoughts? They just seem like pawns. MSNBC is interviewing a girl who has been an "activist" for two years now....she's 11.

Edit: I just want to add that I don't mean this to be an attack thread. It just comes across as insanity watching the media and world leaders fawning over their "wisdom".

Seems like old people get dismissed for being out of touch, children are too young, rich are too isolated, politicians have and agenda and just want to be re-elected, millennials are snowflake whiners, boomers sold the country down the river....... I'm not sure who is officially allowed to advocate for anything.

I thought her speech was quite good and 100% support the effort even though I may not completely agree. The fact is she is out in the world trying to may a difference rather than spending hours in front of her Playstation like many kids her age (and adults who criticize her.)

...and much less safe than prior to the massive influx of economic migrants...

Do they even report migrant crime in Swedenistan?

The average dude bitching about a 16 year old girl is an adult WoW version Eric Cartman.

"A 16 year old wants to save the planet.. omg im so angry . MOM WHERES MY MEATLOAF??"

I don't even give a fuck about global warming -- I'm against most measures to combat it because I think they're unrealistic given current and near future technologies versus geography spread, and I also think they'll be made pointless by developments in AI -- but Go Greta! Especially against these toxic ass hateful motherfuckers.

Greta is speaking up for her future, I think she's entitled to that.

She is absolutely entitled to it, but how much does a 11 years old know about climate science, politics and economics? Using a child to push an agenda is underhanded. Before anyone accuse me of being in denial of climate change, I fully acknowledge that human activities have contributed and accelerated global warming.

 

[woodguyatl]

Regardless of sides, its a waste of time. Is there really no one more qualified to explain this stuff to leaders and media outlets? Like 99% of the scientific community not only would make the same points, but they have the expertise and the data to back it up. Stop asking 9 year olds for guidance on world changing issues and ask subject matter experts what the concensus of the data says.

Our President literally believes global warming is a Chinese hoax despite having access to the best scientists in the world. He does seem to have a genuine soft spot for kids (no stuff implied.) He might actually be a bit moved by here.

Do they even report migrant crime in Swedenistan?

The police had at one time a secret code (291) when migrants were suspected of crimes but more telling is the fact that after 2005, the Swedish government stopped doing research on crime and ethnicity, since it is too "sensitive". That is quite telling.

They have however said that they will begin to compile data on that again in the future.

.. More than 50% of the adult population doesn't even think man made global warming exists. Which is sad. Which is why she's such a powerful voice. An 11 year old is more intelligent and pissing off moron adults. Conservatives like to "lol at the libs" on stuff they're idiots about -- as do I. This is where you're an idiot -- and the more intelligent among us get to laugh at you being made a fool of by an 11 year old.

Tell me what does a 11 year old know about climate science again? I haven't even discovered porn at that age, let alone be equipped to talk about such a complex issue. You are not more intelligent because you claim so. If you cannot see the fact that she is being pulled on strings, then you are the idiot. If you can see so, but thinks that it is okay to use children to push messages, then you're despicable.

The vast majority (86%) in Sweden believe in man made global warming, to think that Greta is the reason behind that is simply ludicrous to say the least.

She is simply a product by her family's friend's PR-firm, nothing more, nothing less.

I would prefer real researchers and environmentalists get the same air time as a narcissistic mother's mascot.

I thought she was American. She's covered in the news all the time here. That makes her the only Swedish person I can name. And that tells you how powerful of a voice she is. I can't name one other Swedish person in the world. But a 16 year old Swede is famous here because she makes obvious how stupid half our adults are.

The left - "How dare you criticize Greta. She's just a child!"

...also the left - "Greta is such a powerful voice!"

 

[hisandherpes]

and look what it's got them.

of course they beat him on the ground when he is already defeated. why do we put up this?

 

[superpunch]

More than half the American population -- that's why she's a powerful voice. She's a powerful voice in America, even though she's a Swede, because us Americans are pathetic and stupid enough that a Swedish kid is more intelligent than most of us. And our stupidity is dooming her generation to an apocalyptic future, and that's just not right.

She has a powerful PR-firm and a famous mother.

Only 3% in Sweden are so-called "climate change deniers", why on earth would Greta be needed? Yet, media pushes her constantly.

the left "reeee, covington high school kids smiled and didnt cower before that native american man beating his drum in their face lets ruin their lives and call for their death!"

also the left "greta is a child, you cant say anything negative about her, how dare you!"

 

[Son of Jamin]

The cartoon is in Swedish but it is easily understood:

Caption over Greta (demonstrates against the establishment).
Caption on the right (the establishment).

Because like 50+% of the most powerful country in the world is a human caused "climate change denier". Greta is a great voice. She's a kid that's more intelligent and ethical than them. People don't like getting sonned and shown that they're stupid, evil people by kids, and she does that to them easily.

They also defamed and deplatformed that Soph girl.
