Greta Thunberg is back at it again!
- Sorry wrong link https://www.cnn.com/…robotron3k
- Actually that was the right link. The other was her one year plan until next UN climate pout.robotron3k
- elahon-1
Feeling triggered, Robo?
- can't relate, she ain't my skin tone and doesn't speak for me, but if a 16 year old who skips school for a year to sell her family book speaks for you, fine.robotron3k
- so now you're criticizing her for being so gifted and talented she can afford to take a year off? what a cunt.monospaced
- "How dare you!" - Gretta Thunbergrobotron3k
- yep, you're triggeredmonospaced
- Ever notice that men who are failures tend to resort to bullying those the most opposite to them? Go figure a young articulate female has Robo shook.ben_
- Oh ben...robotron3k
- Hey robo, go back to some other threads and continue arguing disingenuously. You seem to run from threads that I'm in, and I'd like to know why.garbage
- Because once again, if you're actually an old man that holds the views you hold, you're a giant fucking dummy and you should rethink your life.garbage
- If you're a child that's trolling a design forum.. that makes more sense. But grow up better.garbage
- tell me I'm wrong Robo.ben_

grown adults (mostly men for some fucked up reason) getting triggered by an articulate 16 year old girl.
I mean, what kind of a degenerate wanker would you have to be to slag off an inoffensive teenager for wanting to improve the planet?
- I can think of a type...monospaced
- What degenerate wankers use a child as a human shield to push their agenda? As if she's doing this on her own volition... ghouls.IRNlun6
- You tell us if you're making the claim.T-Dawg
- what IRN said.
Quit using children to present your message—grow a set and answer the questions from the other side instead of using a child to rebuke them/you.PonyBoy - So you guys are saying that she shouldn't have a platform, and that people that agree with her message shouldn't support that platform?T-Dawg
- "human shield to push their agenda" - Greta is asking people to listen to the science of climate change. Only stupid fucks don't want to understand science.lowimpakt
- No she shouldn't have a 'platform'. She's a CHILD ffs!IRNlun6
- Sounds like the same old conspiratorial thinking, where there's always some 'puppet master' pulling strings somewhere, but no one can point to who it isT-Dawg
- It's gotta be george soros lolT-Dawg
- Her world will be worse than ours and she doesn't get a say?pango
- exactly. get mad at those people then. not the kid.inteliboy
- also these right wing nuts must all collectively read the same news sources, because they're all parroting the exact same thing. mindless sheep.inteliboy
- they don't all read same news sources. all the news sources read the same thing.pango
- t-dawg its anyone identifying with political identity and media buzz. no big bad guy is needed.********
- bigger issue is why a dumb kid is allowed to speak on big issues. has discourse chased the trend and devolved that all issues are discussed on level of children********
- and i say dumb because she is selling a point with absolute disregard to rationale basis of anything she is saying. can't talk science when you spit opinion********
- but i guess that is the media these days. figure what dumb shit can be elevated to that level that generates buzz and ride the wave. context, sense, reason,********
- none of it matters. give a kid a speech to read to the UN and ignore pakistan/india open nuke threats. real dangers.. pff********
- 10 o clock news? or like a car crash side show. so bad you have to watch. social media connects so instead of telling 1-2 people opinion in time before forgotte********
- n it spread and chain reacts. how the medium changes the message********
- "i say dumb because she is selling a point with absolute disregard to rationale basis of anything she is saying." - Sounds like... deathboy.ben_
- Regarding sounding like opinion all coming from the same source, we're all in an information bubble in one way or other.IRNlun6
- If you don't think you are, you're probably the most susceptible to mis-information.IRNlun6
- Yeah but how is it that American conservatives all ended up as climate change deniers or skeptics?yuekit
- Are we supposed to believe that Trump voters and Fox News viewers are better informed than actual climate scientists?yuekit
- Hopefully you guys would agree that it makes zero sense for a scientific issue with like this to correlate with which political party you support.yuekit
- I find many conservative just question the extent or severity of the problem. Many just disagree with how to address it.IRNlun6
- she's smarter than you, deathboymonospaced
- Conservatives don't believe it because they are owned by corporations who have no reason to fix the problem, it's just that simple.ben_
- @death yeah, but I thought all that stuff was obvious. No one's looking to greta for answers, she's a feel good story and an inspiration for kids to get into poT-Dawg
- politicsT-Dawg
- It's really not that simple. There is no current viable alternatives that could replace coal or fossil fuels at a large scale.IRNlun6
- @IRNlun6 yes conservatives have very nuanced views like "it's cold outside...SO MUCH FOR GLOBAL WARMING!!"...lol.yuekit
- "WE ONLY HAVE 10 YEARS!!!" works both ways...IRNlun6
- You're seriously going to pretend that the current U.S. government cares at all or has any kind of plan to deal with this issue? It's a total joke.yuekit
- No viable alternatives? Look there are goofballs on either side of this debate, but one thing is clear from the science, and that's that it is getting worseben_
- You also keep misrepresenting the 12 years thing. No one said the world is going to end in 10 years. Try looking into what it actually refers to.yuekit
- not better. And there are people out there trying to address it, while the Conservatives by and large are acting like it's some big conspiracy to take "cheap"ben_
- In the current orange man bad circus, no I don't see any meaningful legislation being proposed.IRNlun6
- energy away from the masses, when in reality it's more like a conspiracy to get us to blindly accept wringing out the last drops of fossil fuels while theyben_
- figure out how to charge us for breathing.ben_
- Misrepresenting how? It's claimed that if nothing is done then in 10-12 we'll be in a point of no return.IRNlun6
- Ah yes, if only the Dems would be nice to Trump, he would fix the problem that he says isn't happening.yuekit
- https://en.wikipedia… - no alternatives... ffsben_
- There are no viable alternatives to replace coal and fossil fuels at scale in 10-12 years time. And certainly not in India or China.IRNlun6
- Certainly not solar or wind power. Hydroelectric or tidal power is a regional option, but battery and delivery means is still a problem.IRNlun6
- This is an engineering issue just as much as any.IRNlun6
- https://www.theguard…yuekit
- ^ As I mentioned in another thread, it's about limiting temperature increases to avoid the worst outcomes.yuekit
- Curious as to why you would interpret that as stupidity or hysteria when it's basically just repeating what climate scientists are saying.yuekit
- Yes of course, it's a huge engineering challenge. Which we are making zero progress towards under the current leadership.yuekit
- 'limiting temperature increases', solar requires mining which requires existing energy sources to manufacture. It's also a very toxic process.IRNlun6
- Wind requires tons of concrete which retains heat. They also don't have a long life span.IRNlun6
- And it's not about being nice to Trump or Republicans. Dems currently control the House. They have the power to propose legislation.IRNlun6
- No one said it's easy. Apparently the report goes into how they think it could be achieved with a combination of different technologies.yuekit
- Main point here though, is that the 12 year thing isn't fake or made up as you seemed to be suggesting.yuekit
- Absolutely, and in my opinion requires a calm, rational, methodological approach. I don't think we disagree here.IRNlun6
- Well the Dems have actually proposed a number of different things. Maybe you can explain to us Trump's proposal for climate change.yuekit
- ben_ if you can ever challenge my rationale base do it. I don't care if im wrong. quite happy to be proved wrong.********
- but please don't try to just pull quote shit and add your own context. did you not learn in public schools that shit will get you a D. You need to actual show********
- something. Like you could say as i think someone else said, its not about being rationale accepting she is not, just being a poster boy for a cause and being********
- popular. not sure though a solid argument considering UN audience and mainstream media of a kid poster child being pimped for causes.********
- causes that are very lucrative and full of special interests.statewide, federal and nation base. Legislation to wrangle say india or china and slow growth********
- the climate is the last thing of concern among the real players. its only the narrative the simps get played.********
- but ben i agree climate is changing and we are approaching a period relative to our existence seems monumental, but check your vostak cores********
- check your geology rocks samples. climate change is like an extended season we are use too. we are in warming period. period. shit is gonna change and coastal********
- cities swallowed with or without humans. i find seashells in the deserts near here. hundreds of miles away from the ocean. think about it and dont be a muppet********
- db, I can't challenge your "rationale base" because all you have are these soliloquies you write that are devoid of facts... just "evidence" and calls to digben_
- through the rats nest that are your thoughts. The only point that you are clear on is that you don't believe there's much we can do to stem global warming.ben_
- So, have fun with your opinion, maybe someone will care if you can convince fox news to become your patron.ben_
- YES! _ben you did get the main point. Did u understand that it's also based on scientific findings and a little common sense? That the idea of human climate********
- is a farce? Hard to control room temperatures in most buildings let alone the world. Also did you get there will be a lot of collateral dmg when attempting********
- such feats on whims of political candidates who only care about getting a goddamn job and paying bills. they could careless about anythign past their term********
- outside self interests. And above I meant "Human Climate CONTROL"... leave out the control people fill in the blank and message changes...********
- what i'd like from people like you is to take you far and actually put it all together in a plan and theory and look at cost and efforts needed to********
- create the world thermostat that is peddled out of fear. what science or measures or even abiltiy to control carbon through so many natural catalysts planetary********
- and interplanetray even exist? do you really believe humans can stop natural cliamte change patterns? So far evidence seesm we may play a part in progression.********
- but the science also seems to show we are but a bit player in the longer models. a hiccup. hell dinosaurs may be as much a hiccup. big poops big gases...********
- but come on either admit you think we can stop climate change like superman with a plan or quit half steppin and blaming me for reality********

- yup.renderedred
- whatthefunk6
- but Q told me that she is basically Hitler reincarnated. Also, Fuck the planet!
- MAGAcapn_ron - this tweet shows the hysteria perfectly. a 16 yr old says something with absolutely 0 substance. Which is ignored.********
- and somehow the irrelevance of complete lack of substance is elevated in media. triggering ppl with common sense to say whoa hey tap those breaks********
- are the the negative reactions relevant? are they the GOAL? So many logical fallacies being weaponized bringing discourse to grade school level********
- so climate change and the outcome for the coming generations has 0 substance ? that´s overburning with stupidty and madness if u really mean that...neverscared
- Funny, because what she said has like 11 substance and it is not being ignored. And it is quite relevant to our current situation.monospaced
- people can feel whatever they want. if you remember the over population scare and policies or global cooling or even threat devil will steal your soul if not********
- a christian. fear is often peddled, just not so juvenile as this or such a juvenile be used for corporate/gov interests********
- the fact of the matter never is climate changes outside humans. Do you concur? Would u also concur we cannot control climate? If yes on either of those does it********
- help you see with a bit of perspective the reality of it?********
- If no, well than haha i think you are up there with the people following experts talking of flying fiery chariots and ressurection shit.********
- those debt ridden prophets of science. preach brothers! Tell us what pays off your loans through special interest study grants!********
- Quite a lot of data from scientists throughout the spectrum. Contradicting each other. Much like religion... i'd not listen to anyone and judge the material********
- yourself, or if too lazy stay on the sidelines and be very skeptical********
- but Q told me that she is basically Hitler reincarnated. Also, Fuck the planet!

Complete List: Who Supports an Impeachment Inquiry Against Trump?
- mg333
First off, the media is wrong to call this a transcript. It's a memorandum of a transcript, as stated in the document.
Secondly, God willing, he is FUCKED. Anyone that can't see how damning this is shouldn't have the right to vote.
Now he's on TV live bloviating about how great everything is, as if he's immune from scandal and criminal penalty because of how supposedly good things are.
- The only reason why they released this memorandum - which is bad for him - is because the full transcript is going to be even worse. Fact.mathinc
- Math you keep saying President Trump's is going down getting peoples hopes up. Do you promise it will happen this time?robotron3k
- Show me one other time that I said he was going down, JazX.mathinc
