Love that red faced middle aged men can get so wound up by a young slip of a girl, it's hilarious.
Personally, think we're past the point of being able to do anything about the impending climate issues we're facing but if people want to try good luck to them.

She's a front for an adult organisation. Her speech is that of an adult, they do it so she can not be challenged in the same way as an adult it's quite clever. By the same token it's also sinister that they would use a child to hind behind to force a world view without supplying the evidence she always talks of.

Greta Thunberg sets off for the US on carbon neutral yacht, but says she doesn't expect to win over Donald Trump
Fair play to her, at least she's leading by example.

She’s clearly a communist who’s real play is to kill our children. Same for vegans. Long live capitalist AKA the world police.

I'm more referring to 'the evidence she always speaks of'. Is it doubted that we have done at least some damage to the environment?

Fair play to Greta. She cares as do many other kids care passionately and really worry about the future of our planet and nature not sure enough of our politicians do. My 13yo daughter gets very emotional about it and lectures me all the time. Who in their right mind gives a flying f*** if someone is advising Greta behind the scenes. Right wing loony press eating themselves up in anger over a child with a different view to them! Pretty shocking really. Perhaps time for climate change to be fixed into the school curriculum as a dedicated subject rather than perhaps Religious Studies... ? It's very true we should ALL be thinking about changing our lifestyles dramatically now...and before anyone asks (yes I have been on a bit of climate change training this week )
With house prices, tuition fees, job insecurities, and Brexit fuckwits I worry a bit over what future my kids will have, (albeit only slightly more than City's promotion bid )

Agree with everything apart from losing RE. Schools are covering this but more needs to be done. In this country, all the time spent on Brexit is a real distraction from something that is far more important.

Pretty much echoes my thoughts. I'm not a religionist at all and feel it's more power hungry and greedy people playing on others greatest fear with full knowledge they'll never have to provide a scrap of evidence that what they say is true.
But while religion exists there needs to be an understanding of the differences and cultures involved to prevent further bloodshed and wars over the subject, hence the need for RE to enable tolerance.

That'll be mummy and daddy. Apparently they're in bed with a green energy supplier or something similar in Sweden and are using her to push their agenda and doing nicely from it.

I’m amazed that so many people seem to be denying this. It’s a daily occurrence that some scientist or another is on the radio with more evidence of what is happening. This is all just a giant conspiracy for what end? I was listening to a union leader today saying that any change in Labour Party policy with regard to having a carbon neutral economy must still guarantee the jobs of his members in carbon heavy industries. If we don’t make a radical change to the way we live, it won’t be just jobs that his members are worrying about.I think we need to take our head out of the sand and see what is happening to the world. The whether patterns in our own country should be telling us that something is going on.
My son has started going out with a girl who comes from Kuwait. She was saying that temperatures of 50 degrees are now fairly common there, something they only saw on rare occasions before.

It isn't as simple as you make out though. There are things we can change but others we can't.
Climate myths: It's been far warmer in the past, what's the big deal?

I say fair play to her and I admire her greatly for what she is doing. I am sure many kids find her an inspiration.
And as for her childhood being ruined, she is talking about her education, which had had to take a bit of a sideline, because this stuff has now taken over her life and she is constantly in the spotlight.

12 year old popular science? Fair enough false alarm.
We have very strong reasons to believe these are not simply natural fluctuations.

That article is a decade out of date. We’ve have models updated and things are moving faster than ever.
seriously guys, there isn’t a conspiracy, this is really happening. Pull your heads out the sand.

Trotting our the usual nonsense. Aside from the fact that the article is over a decade out of date the reason it’s nonsense is because it’s been proven beyond doubt (you would think) since then although the climate has changed numerous times in the past this is the first time that it’s man made. That’s the difference.

Clearly someone must be. I mean what’s the chances that a child is more intelligent than Donald Trump? Wait...

I don't deny climate change, I don't like children being used as weapons and I don't like how India and China are not held to account - yes I know they are bigger countries but also look at Co2 emissions per gdp. Its staggering.

which is why I think we're fucked.
Same with the situation in Brazil, as far as I'm concerned Bolsonaro is a wanker and what he's doing in the Amazon is wrong, but he has a point when he says we (the west) have been the biggest polluters for years but now we're telling the rest of the world not to do it. No wonder they're telling us to do one.
