Greta Thunberg is Simpal Cindy?

[anonymous-user]

It's a long thread, but I get the gist. Has anyone commented on how this now seems to be a celeb love in and perhaps this was her real goal of becoming a celeb-schmoozing-pseudoceleb?

She doesn't have a goal, her parents however...

Greta - hope you're aware, the N Atlantic at this time of year? Treacherous! You might truly find out the meaning of 'climate'!

Commenting on the cost of someone else's property? If it was a celeb with a private plan, PH would be banging on about the poison of jealousy.

Plenty of people go cruising on relatively small budgets. You want to spend your time sailing the world on a cat?

16K to you.

Are you aware of the credentials of the crew with Greta?

Nikki Henderson has a pretty good cv. Clipper race etc.

I’d like to see their passage plan.

The Tracy Edwards documentary the other night was one of the best things I've ever seen on TV. I'm glad Greta is on a boat with some women though. There are some PHers who wouldn't have slept a wink if she'd been on a boat with men only. They were so concerned about her.

I watched it. Amazingly driven girl and crew.

We are having a talk by one of the team Ineos AC guys in a few weeks. We see them training in the bay. Awesome machines.

It’s entertaining that so many guys want to waste their lives trying to criticise a 16 year old.

Only guys? Bit sexist. I doubt that a few minutes of criticism will "waste their lives " tbf. Should GT be immune from criticism then?

TX.

big shock.
Who predicted this.

https://katu.com/news/local/drivers-of-more-effici...


Passenger vehicle registration fees will be based largely on the vehicle’s fuel efficiency rating," the Oregon Department of Transportation said in a statement Tuesday. "Drivers of more efficient vehicles will pay more to register and renew their tags so they contribute more for use of the roads. That’s because these drivers are contributing much less (or nothing) in fuels tax while driving just as much."

Not too many women posting on PH are there.

Many here say she is too young to understand so on that basis she should attract no criticism.

However if you accept she is mature enough to know her own mind and come to her own conclusions then yes of course she can be tested.

Except posters are not testing Greta are they? They are having a moan on here.

If she doesn’t understand then she can’t be criticised, but she shouldn’t be taken seriously either... It seems, culturally, we are taking her seriously, so she should be engaged with in the same way as Monbiot et al are for their non-scientific doommongering.

Isn't her message believe the scientists and vote? Hardly seems a very radical position to take on PH (ohh, hang on, this time science doesn't agree with the opinions of middle age men. bugger).

It’s a catastrophisation of the science. Read IPCC vs XR.

So we start here: https://order-order.com/2019/10/11/extinction-rebe...

but then we end up here: https://www.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/w...

That's not exactly a ringing endorsement of "No problem here, carry on as you were".

I’m not saying there’s no problem, I’m saying we’re not all going to be dead in 12 years.

Or 112. Etc.

BTW what's the problem?

If we assume IPCC is correct (note assume)... The argument is about Greta/XR vs science; science vs reality is another one.

Don't forget chaps, getting so triggered and emotional is bad for your undoubtedly high blood pressure. There is help available

Personally, I don't understand why so many middle aged men (and they almost all are) get so angry when a young person tries to do the right thing, such as protecting the environment in which we all live?

I get disappointed when a young girl with difficulties gets manipulated by groups with an agenda- how do you feel about that?

I think they're less angry at her than the obvious way that some influential and financially powerful people have weaponised and exploited a child for their own political gain...

[bitchstewie]

I'm not sure the calling of a child "retard" and all the slightly creepy photos are going after the shadowy figures manipulating this poor young girl who you all seem so concerned about.

Plenty of middle aged men are discussing this without getting triggered. It's almost as you want to shut down all discussion and criticism of The Messiah.

Exactly. I get the impression that most people who are "concerned" about her just want her to shut up.
