I think Greta Thunberg is a pretty remarkable young woman. The ire she provokes in a particular demographic just endears her to me more, tbh.
Haha, you literally have no answer to any real debate on the topic. Exactly like we've seen on this thread generally, your only response is to label those that disagree with you because you can't actually address their arguments. As soon as anyone asks you a difficult question, you stick your fingers in your ears and flounce off the thread.Yeah you’re one of those religious/cult types I talked about earlier.
Each to their own.
Ah, so that's what your side means when they claim they've read a report. They mean they've read some biased journalist's bullshit summing up of the report. That explains a lot.Love a good study.
Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters..
A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a 'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.

So only a year left.
Reporter “why should America do its bit when China are producing what they are?”
Thunberg “they said the same about America when I questioned them in Sweden”.
Spot on.Trouble you have is extinctions have happened since life first began and long before man appeared.
Climate change is cyclical in that it has been hot and cold with low and high sea levels and the landmasses are not some stable platform, they are forever moving.
I've no issue in the claim that we have seen a huge increase in the rate of global warming and that we have played a part in that but i refuse to accept we are the sole reasons for it as we are not.
Mother nature is far more powerful than we are and will do what it has done for billions of years regardless of what we do.
Talk of mass extinctions and the end of the world is pure out and out hysteria spread for political reasons and its become the new religion and almost cult like imo.
We do our bit as a family, recycle when and where we can but i dont buy into the hysteria im afraid.
Of course not.
Spot on.
And projections about what may or may not happen over the next 2,000 years are COMPLETELY meaningless.
Why? Because (a) it's very difficult if not impossible to extrapolate that far out. And (b) - and this is really important - they assume that mankind over that entire period is powerless to do anything about it, and just sits back relaxed and watches it happen.
This is of course nonsense. Absolute nonsense. Who knows what technology we may develop over the next 100 years let alone 2,000.
How about self-replicating nanobots which assemble themselves into a series of enormous sun shades orbiting high above the earth, blocking out sunlight and returning us to a period of global cooling to rebuild the icecaps?
Calls for draconian measures today to prevent something which may or may not occur over 2,000 years would be like asking the ancient Romans to use all their resources to build a cobbled single track road across the Mediterranean, when nowadays we just get on a plane. It would be pitiful.
If I recall correctly she did that to a Republican congressman which is even more impressive.
