    Heat waves are hardly just local events.
    They have to be local events because if the heat level of a heat wave was global we'd simply refer to it as the new standard at that point.

    Why do so many people have a problem with leaving the planet in a good or better place than it is now for future generations?
    Why the bloody hell is greed more important than health?

    forestation increases every year due to human activity and the Earth is literally becoming greener. Looks like a 'better place for future generations' goal is already secured.

    That much is obvious. She's nothing more than a petulant child after all. I found it funny that anyone would have the audacity to say, in front of the UN membership, that they "ruined her childhood". I dunno, you'd think if you made it to 16, your childhood wasn't ruined.

    Nobody's stopping you, just don't try and use coercion as means to push your opinion onto other people. Convince people so that they consent to supporting your policies.

    That's just being mentally ill for you. At 8 she learnt that climate change exists and went completely bonkers over this fact. She could have seen a cat killing a bird and become a biggest anti-cat activist to ever exist. Or could have learnt of bacteria existence and start living in the bubble. You never knew what triggers them.

    The terrible is that eco freaks are fine with ill child being exploited just because it suits their agenda

    Yes yes we all know by now it's not possible to have a valid criticism of Greta and her ideas.
    And thats different to which politicians again?

    Why do we listen to music written by a kid. Well, Mozart starting to write music at age 5.

    I'm not saying Thunberg is the same caliber as Mozart, but you need to stop looking at her age, gender or whatever physical and social indicator you deem important and start hearing the freaking message.

    The same message thousands of scientist, the vast majority of climate specialist (in the 95% ballpark) have been warning about. If it takes a 16 years old to grab the world attention instead, so be it, but the message must be heard.

    Well, either children or geriatrics, I'd say that is the biggest problem with politics these days. Too many old farts in office because dumb people keep electing them.

    Some of us have more of an issue with how our governments are going about dealing with it. Canada isn't even close to hitting the Paris Climate Accord, yet some how our government thinks taxing the little guy while our cost of living is high and our wages are stagnant will solve it. If the 99% had more spending power, we'd easily be able to adopt green technology faster. As it is, we can't afford to buy luxury tech like solar panels en masse like people and companies with money can. Not to mention getting taxed for going off the grid is such a stupid concept that needs to be thrown off a bridge.

    You do know that it was part of what the march was about right? Every nation mostly does feelsgoodman shit where the little guy recycle his shit, which is fine and all. But i work on the industrial level, i see full fucking containers filled with spoiled rubber parts go straight into the trash because its more cost effective then recycling them. Doesent matter if the entire city around where i work recycle 1 ton of plastic every week, when a single industrial complex i visit to fix something dump 1+ ton of rubber straight in the trash in the same week.

    I live in a condo complex with 150+ condos. We have a two containers for trash, picked up by the city every 2 week now instead of every week. One of the industrial i visit does door sealing for toyota. Theres the same size of container our condos use that gets picked up twice a week, filled with low grade rubber. It could be recycled, except its low grade, so its cheaper to make more LUL.

    They shouldnt get picked up more often, they should be fined, either fucking take your loss for your spoiled shit or use better grade rubber so that its worth reusing. Either way you are gona fucking lose money i get it but at some point we got to fucking have a limit on that shit.

    People planting trees in one place does not make up for the permanent loss of delicate ecosystems we can't recover. The article is says there are more trees coming, not that there is no consequence for the trees we're still losing. Different forests and trees also contribute in varying degrees to the atmosphere and weather. Nothing is secured, that article is just a hopeful message to keep fighting.

    How big of an overlap do you think there is between the shitstains that cried about "autism being over-diagnosed" a few years ago, and those calling Greta "mentally ill" because she has autism? I think a lot.

    As someone who is 6 years older than Greta, and also has autism, it really sucks seing how many seem to dismiss her points just because she has a developmental disorder that is not even all that uncommon. It really doesn't matter, because 1) she's not a scientist, she's trying to rile people and politicans up so actual action will be done on this subject, and 2) even if she was a scientist, autistic people usually do well in that area, so what's the big deal? It seems to me like conservatives and right-wingers found a couple of key points they could attack her on (she's just a child, she's being coached (by whom?), the boat crew she used flew home, she has autism, she ate food on a train) because of ideological differneces with her, and this saves them the trouble of having to argue any salient points aobut climate change (because they would inevitably lose).

    And before you say, "Well why don't we get the scientists to speak?!" they tried that for years, and nobody listened then. At least Greta seems to have become somewhat of a figurehead for the kind of change that people want to see.

    She's a mouthpiece, that's why people are dismissing her. She doesn't have solutions, not to mention she just threw the world's largest temper tantrum in front of members of the United Nations. And the focus shouldn't be just on world leaders, it needs to be on politicians at all levels and the rich elite who can fix a lot of these problems. But they are more concerned about lining their own fucking pockets than they are about the future of the planet.

    Right now the focus is being largely shifted from rich and global elites to global poor, and while world's richest 10%'s consumption (roughly) equals to world's poorest 80%'s consumption, the blame falls on those 80% for being unecological and being the overpopulation itself.

    You can see the whole greta's point is being a world's elite's tool to deny world's poor's demands of same quality of living (i.e. having steak instead of processed crickets and human flesh)

    How is this an argument against Greta when she has also been criticized for coming to the US instead of going to India or China?
