Not just the kids, look how many teachers supported their charges bunking off.

Climate Change has become highly politicised, as such expect bat st stupid "regulations & taxes" = because Climate Change" from now on.

I just find it irritating that most on here wouldnt listen to a 17 year old mechanics diagnosis, or take notice of a trip advisor review from a still-teenage girl. Or perhaps take financial advice from her, maybe give her the role of Prime Minister. No? but you'll happily swallow all the "facts" that she, herself has apparently concluded. Sorry, but most 17 yr olds I know arent in any position to give anyone any advice or, which is worse, badly criticise the previous generations that have handed her and her sort the technology and knowledge that in their eyes is destroying the planet.

But she isn't really coming up with the clever, sciency stuff herself is she? She's pointing to what's already out there and saying "Come on - take this seriously!". Anyone of any age can do that but because she's young it has more impact.

But Randy the point is none of the science points to the world being on fire of any sense of crisis/emergency. So there is nothing to take seriously.

You took that literally?

Precisely. And seemingly every other gullible hard of thinking dimwit. The hyperbolic narrative of ‘crisis / emergency’ doesn’t just emanate from Greta and the usual eco loons, but from our national broadcasters, national newspapers and politicians of all hues. The science isn’t so much settled, it’s been abandoned.

Neither the science nor the scientists themselves settled.

I don't think that's saying what you think it's saying. Quite the opposite in fact. Unless I'm missing something.

'I'm profoundly sad, I feel guilty': scientists reveal personal fears about the climate crisis
The Guardian

The Guardian7 March 2020


In 2014, Joe Duggan started reaching out to climate scientists to ask them a question: how did climate change make them feel?

“I was just blown away when I started getting the letters back,” he says.

Duggan, a science communicator at Australian National University, set up a website and starting publishing the mostly handwritten responses.

“[Professor] Katrin Meissner was one of the first, and her letter really hit me. It was so ... unscience-y. Almost poetic.”

“It makes me feel sad. And it scares me,” Meissner wrote.

“It scares me more than anything else. I see a group of people sitting in a boat, happily waving, taking pictures on the way, not knowing that this boat is floating right into a powerful and deadly waterfall.”

In the end, more than 40 scientists responded – many leaders in their field. Some wrote neatly on lined notepaper, others scrawled on the back of student papers they were marking.

“It became a big part of my life,” Duggan says. “I felt a little bit out of my depth. It took its toll on me and in the end I felt I had to step away. I went into my shell and pretty much turned off my phone for three years.

“But I’ve got some emotional resilience back now. My partner and I found out we’re pregnant – due in August. I don’t want that kid to grow up asking why we didn’t actually do anything.”

So Duggan has returned to his “passion project” – Is This How You Feel – by asking the scientists to write again. Have their feelings changed in the intervening years?

The first 10 return letters are emotional outpourings of despair, hope, fear and determination in the age of the climate crisis, from the people helping the world understand its impacts while also being mums, dads and grandparents.

Since the first letters were written, two Australian correspondents Tony McMichael and Michael Raupach have died. But Duggan is trying to reach their family members to see if they can keep the legacy moving.

Meissner, now director of the Climate Change Research Centre at the University of New South Wales, didn’t hesitate to respond partly because “it was the right thing to do”.

When these people start to speak up about being frustrated, desperate, worried, angry or scared, then we really should listen very carefully

Katrin Meissner
“But also because we have not been very good at communicating climate science to the public and I believe that it is my duty as a citizen to alert people to the urgency of the situation.”

Matches the way temperature data is derived I suppose.

Greta will be having two "climate change" protests in Paris and Grenoble this weekend. She cares not a jot about coronavirus. Many of her "groupthink groupies" are telling her to cancel her plans.

Well...they can spread Coronavirus love amongst themselves, I wouldn’t mind that.

You’ll realise that they’re already trying to link the two in one way or another. I also read an article saying how Coronavirus is going to halt efforts to cut emissions

Also just wanted to add that remember to take the public transport, save the planet and get some Coronavirus too
Yeah right, I’m never giving up my car to ‘save the planet’

We all did, although the difference is adults never listened to us.

It certainly does have a limit, she can blather on about climate change till the cows come home, but ask her who is at the root of everything she whinges about, and why, and she hasn't got an answer. It is not worth wasting a second, listening to her.

It just keeps showing the media types for what they are. In their own little bubbles where they think people give a st about this girl.
The new one are these tick-tock videos of people who should be doing something far more important but are instead dancing around like 10 year old girls.

Like many vociferous ‘celebrities’ she doesn’t have answers, she doesn’t think that’s her problem.
