The fact is that we're fifteen pages into a thread where not one of Greta Thunberg's critics have actually addressed any of the things she has said, just how she's said it. Pardon if it's difficult to take the tone police seriously when they clutch their pearls.

lol you can go back and read my other commits in this thread didactic, i've said what i wanted about her. My opinion on climate change is it's real but those in politicas are not trying to save the world, it's a battle of what kind of energy the world uses. If you stop hydrocarbon use, those who refine hydrocarbons for use, and more importantly those they back, lose political power.

i disagree with your assessment of the character of folks you don't even know.

Her delivery, namely the fact she chose to deliver her arguments with a sixteen year old mouth?
The lame, pissy, triggered ad hominem attacks on Greta are precisely what the titular douchebags are getting dragged for. Don't know why you find that hard to understand.

We in this context refers to pretty much everyone outside the climate change deniers and flat earthers who are soiling their diapers over something as innocuous as a young girl being concerned about the future.
No there is not, there's no such thing as a policy solution expert on a complex system like economics and the climate. One reason why we have this thing called "democracy" is because when it comes to complex systems no one person or small group of experts has the capacity to determine what is and is not a policy solution.
Give it time , she'll be forgotten just like David Hogg.
This is probably the dumbest argument I've ever heard.
That's like saying that we shouldn't have laws against murder because there are experts on murder and experts on the law, but there aren't experts on murder AND the law.
I have a life outside of you, you know!
Actually you're proving my point for me. Experts shouldn't be those who determine the policy solution for that because there are no experts in that case as well. The people in the democracy should and they should elect the representative that will implement their values. Same goes for economic issues.
This is just a willfully dishonest position to hold. It's a flat-out refusal to accept facts that you don't agree with.
There are experts in these fields. You refusing to understand that isn't an argument, it's an attempt to redefine your personal reality in the same way that anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers do. Who also claim the experts don't know what they're talking about, I'll note.
