Greta Thunberg

[mexico1970]

It's a funny old world when people are more worried about the actions of a few motivated people than the main problem.

Questioning their motives is a good thing, not questioning their motives is a bad thing. I will question all day long the people who hold what is a child up as their leader, it's sinister at best. Your assumption that people aren't interested in the problem is way off, what people are curious about is how to sort the issue out without mass starvation and a return back to the dark ages.
Do you believe saint Greta has all the answers?

I don't believe she has any.

Net zero by 2025??? Might as well say we'll put a man on Saturn by 2021. Not happening, no way, no how, no chance. Utterly ludicrous. Not happening by 2050, let alone 2025.

She is a very, very remarkable, very admirable in many ways, gullible, manipulated idiot.

Some of her ideas are quite bonkers.
"Stop trying to increase GDP".......Just condemns millions to poverty, unless you reduce the population (good luck with that one)
"Stop using coal"..........you need it to manufacture steel.
Etc etc

She means well but she's just a kid. I don't mean to sound patronising - I don't have all the answers either (obviously!) but yes some of her suggestions are ludicrously unrealistic. She's been brainwashed and manipulated by various factions, some of whom would have us go back to oxen-pulled ploughs and living in yurts.

To be fair I don’t think Greta claims to have the answers, I hear her saying there is a problem, listen to the science

And ignore the scientists who don't agree.

Oh, and throw in a whole load of sensationalising and melodrama, just to spice it up a bit.

We could grow bamboo in Peckham and use that instead of steel, you're not thinking of the bigger picture bud ;)

Least @Chippy hasn't mentioned tax for a whole post. A positive turn I feel. Give it a year and the pool boys shed light will be running off wave power from his moat.

As long as the lad can paddle hard enough.
