The Greta Thunberg phenomenon and why are the media doing this?

[Bald1]

That's a crazy position to take ,China has a much larger population , looking at emissions per capita is a fair way to assess the situation and we have nearly double the Co2 emissions per capita .

Fair enough. Yet their middle class is growing at an unprecedented rate. The more disposable income, the more pollution per person seems to be the norm.

What happens when their middle class is double that of the population of all of the US while "only" polluting at 80% of US per capita rates? I don't know if that's how things will proceed, but "per capita" will soon become an empty stat that doesn't tell the whole story. Remember, their "middle class" numbers over 400 million people already. Do you think their green initiatives will be enough to offset their growing consumerism trends?

Only time will tell us that but their government is taking concrete steps and it appears the populace is on board , that's a start .

Baby steps are better than nothing, agreed. Not going to look it up right now but I've always wondered how the US armed forces distorts the per capita number. That seems to be something that never gets discussed.

She is perfect for propaganda thats all.
Young innocent vegan girl raised in a socialist country by thespians.
she triggers right wingers and amaze the leftists.
And since the large size portion of modern media is very left leaning,she got a big push.

she is basically the equivalent(for the ECOloonies)to that Dragqueen boy for transgender nazis.

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

Is that retard still a thing?...I thought her 15 minutes were already over...

Kind of not cool to call that manipulated kid a "retard". And I say this as someone who cannot stand her.

The global warming alarmists are not relying on scientific consensus. They are employing the same tactics they use all across the political arena.

They spend most of their energy trying to make things appear like they are correct, instead of pursuing truth.

Special interest groups have funded the larger studies and the larger studies aren't all meteorologists. Their politically motivated scientists.

The evidence shows that our climate is changing and always has been, and hypothesis about rapid temperature rises in the near future are completely made up.

And you have really researched this, in a neutral way, and really came to that conclusion in goodwill?

I've crawled through historical climate data for certain areas as a meteorological technician so yes, very few people have researched it like me.

ANd you were not priorly biased for ideological/political reasons and that is really the conclusion you came to? I am genuinely asking the question because I want to understand what is the mental process of intelligent people coming to that conclusion.

Who said I don’t believe in climate change?

Ps 183 genders. Democrats are no longer the party of science. In fact “science” is currently in a shit show. Are you familiar with the peer reviewed feminist mine kampf?

PPS don’t give a shit how it’s spelled, fuck Nazis.

Where did I say anything about Democrats being the party of science? I'm talking about climate change, which is the topic here. Leftists believe in plenty of stupid non-scientific ideas like holistic medicine.

Science is absolutely not in a shit show. It's advancing at incredible rates and has a better community than ever for peer review and research.

Gender is medicine and social, not science. You mean to say sex. Biological sex is science.

 

[DoomPatrol]

You act like a scientific consensus isn't literally the standard for all things in the scientific community. It's a scientific consensus for gravity, the Earth being round, planetary orbits, and literally any other theory in science. There is only consensus based on the body of evidence put forth.

Trust me, I’m a science dork. I’d rather look at a schematic than prime time tv. There are some serious issues, and a lot of junk science floating around.

[HomeCheese]

Don't care, till India and China stop being third world shitholes it don't matter.

Man, it's all of our problem. The shit they make in India and China is thrown on a boat and shipped here. It's a global issue.

 

[D3THRONED]

Old white conservative dudes are embarrassed that a little girl showed them up and will have a greater legacy than any of them.

You do realize she didn't do anything? Her parents are the ones on her twitter and doing everything, not her.

 

[D3THRONED]

Your only point was that because she was Times Person of the Year that the left has gone off the deep end. She's literally a kid standing up to the world's idiots about a serious global issue. How does that make having a marginal level of support for her actions "going off the deep end"? We didn't put her in charge of the free world and our nuclear arsenal. Some stupid paper gave her a fake award. Wow. Great point you made.

For the record, I'm not a leftist. I have several things I support on the right side of things that the majority of the left would disagree with. I'm just not so fucking brainwashed that I'll support an idiot just because he's on my team. Republicans jumped the shark when they allowed Trump to hijack the party. They lost all credibility at that point when they flipped from "he's horrible and can't be allowed to run" to "he's perfect" just because they'd rather vote for someone they hate on their own team than to go to the other side.

You're literally trashing a kid with Aspergers. Nice job

Once again, she hasn't done anything. It's her parents using her as a tool.

Was that her that spoke at the United Nations?

Your second link has nothing to do with science. Your first link is a well known issue, which is why nobody relies on a single study to verify something. When all of the studies on different things point to the same conclusion, like evolution or climate change, then the sample size is large enough to draw a conclusion.

Trust me, I literally went to college for STEM. I look at schematics for a living.

Most of the popular climate change deniers are white.

But I bet you’d consider it racist if someone pointed out that most crimes in America are committed by non whites?

 

[Koro_11]

The party that let this guy into office wants to talk about going off the deep end for letting a teenager voice complaints about climate change which are backed by the ENTIRE global scientific community as factual statements?

The guy who said this?



This fucking guy???




And it's the left who has gone off the deep end because we don't trash talk a teenager who understands accepted science better than old people? You guys are riding the nuts of a pathological lying, failed casino owning REALITY SHOW host, but we've gone off the deep end? The guy who put Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in charge of policy making decisions? But yeah... it's the left who's lost their fucking minds.

The more negatives you point out about Trump, the worse it makes the left look. Imagine despite all his flaws most Americans would rather have him in office than one of the idiots who represent the left.

That's interesting you say that because MOST AMERICANS didn't want him to be President. He's only President because of the electoral college. More Americans did vote for the other candidate.
