Social Greta Thunberg Megathread

[original doom]

what are we supposedly facing these days. is it global warming or an ice age ?

 

[Devout Pessimist]

I included a brief rebuttal of the portion to which I was referring. I guess you didn't read it. Don't care. Keep moving goal posts and I'm not going to play the game. Plain and simple.

It sounds like you need some rest. Might I recommend a nice Malala pillow? We will have to see if Greta is as marketable as Malala before her pillows start being sold.

You can relax and sip some tea from a Malala mug:

If you get bored you can entertain yourself with this Malala activity book:

There is even Malala men's pajamas:

There is already an entire website where you can purchase Greta merchandise. I wonder when her book is coming out.

I've never turned to a child to make an argument worth making. I think these hysterical child mascots (Greta and AOC) are incredibly hard to take seriously, and do the conversation more harm than good.

 

[PrinceOfPain]

She never said that, you dorks.

Her fame-whore mother says that she did.

 

[tonni]

Her fame-whore mother says that she did.

No, she didn't. It's a hoax.

"She sees, what others don't want to see".

She's using figurative speech, not literal. She's referring to the parabel of the emperor's clothes. She specifically mentions carbon dioxide is invisible.

You people are extremely gullible.

ive seen this before. are you guys sure some of the imagary used to prove that the european kings and queens were africans isnt just a representation of something else ?

the sardinian flag has african heads on it...

 

[genecop]

Weird shit going on..that my educated opinion.

It's funny is that you think that supports your point. Go prostrate yourself.

the two highest consumers of coal are india and china. 2 countries that certainly arent going to be swayed by some priviledged utopian swede.

she spoke of a ruined childhood when sweden doesnt even burn coal for energy.

That's not relevant to the conversation but thanks.

i found her speach a tad bit cringe. if she was from a nation that was feeling the full effects of climage change, man made or not then perhaps i would find her fiery talk a bit more realistic but as it stands shes just some activist whos nation would benefit being a few degrees warmer.

in the news she gave trump the evil eye. perhaps she should educate herself on whos pumping the oceans full of waste. and yes its mainly china and south east asia.

i sense something nasty about this girl, she has that cold look about her.

What kind of argument is this?
That in order to care deeply about something you have to be at risk to be completely and utterly fucked?
We all live on this planet. Global warming is killing people, and will continue to do so, and it's a bunch of cunts putting money over human life. It's disgusting, and you don't have to live in the Maldives to feel that disgust.

And Americans keep trying to shift the blame to China or Southeast Asia, when their economies revolve around manufacturing cheap garbage for Americans and Europeans. Americans, per person, have much higher levels of waste than people from other countries.
And if we want to play the "but China.." game, then any other country that didnt want to do shit could say "but America.." as an excuse to not do anything.

Dont know why people cant just address the argument instead of all this deflecting.

yeh sure i agree you dont have to be royally screwed over to have an opinion or to feel passionate about something. its just her approach that i find awfully cringey. tone it down a notch you mad as a hatter swede. do you really its just a bunch of cunts putting money over human life, really ?

alot of these activists attack the west while other countries get a pass when infact they are some of the worst offenders. the west has made progress as too not have all of waste go into the ocean...china, doesnt care. so while we ban plastic straws chinas rivers still let that plastic flow into the ocean.

what exactly was this girls argument other than her ruined childhood.

 

[ElKarlo]

These photo ops are just complete scumbag bs.. We are all tired of these idiots pretending they are good people with crap like this.

Remember when people got mad at religious people for stuff like this and for hypocrisy? Well here is the secular religion version of that. Great job guys. Replace something with a newer thing that's much worse

Tone it down?
People are dying. We are irreparably damaging the planet to the point where future generations won't exist, and you're worried about her tone?
Scientists have talked about this for decades, and governments have taken no action. Again, this is just garbage arguments that deflect from the issue. She's right. And yet, we got people talking about her mom, her aspergers, and "what about...". How about the actual issue?

It's not cunts putting money over people? What are corporations and governments doing then? Knowingly polluting the environment for the sake of profits is putting gold over life.

America calls itself a leader of the world.
And again, America, despite having far less people than China or India, is one of the biggest polluters on the planet. And China's pollution is a large part from making shit for America. So this idea that you can act like America is some side player is absurd.
America is at the center of this issue, and is in a unique position to change it, and yet, does nothing but deflect...because..money.
And I say this as an American.

Someone will defend this. And no, she wasn't trying to be nice and give time to the others.

I might well be wrong, but accepting the translation of a sherdogger, when every other English source I've stumbled across (aside from a random reddit user) says otherwise would actually be far more gullible.

Do you have a better source for the translation than yourself?

Which reliable source do you have? All the news sites I found it in a google search are derp sites.
