Why?

Should a teenager with what appears to be very extreme views about immigrants and the gay community together with a strange attitude to business structures have the same airtime than a similarly aged teenager who is equally passionate about a generally accepted climate position, excepting a few.

Surely the teenager that has an attitude that may well be racist and homophobic should not be promoted unless you think homophobia and racism should be legalised.
So we should only listen to children you agree with... got it...

Hardly surprising is it, looking at her attitudes?


Her face looks familiar. Was she the one leading a right wing march in the UK? If it wasn’t her there is a similarity.

How dare you attack a child.

Imagine being so angry at a small girl
Can you read and understand sentences. It appears not.

Please show any attack. There is none.

Anger, where in my post is any anger.

Never mind some posters never had the benefit of a rounded education including use of a English. You seem to be one.

Could you answer my query please as you seem familiar with her profile?

Think of it this way.

You were right and in 15 years time Nick feels a bit silly.

Nick was right and in 15 years times we've got a bit more to worry about than feeling a bit silly.
Spot on.

These guys have no concept of risk analysis.
I'll get back on-topic (Greta) in due course; for now, were you around and old enough to count beans when the same crowd said New York would be under water by 2015? What went wrong?

Or the various never-ending predictions that arctic summer sea ice would disappear by 2008/2013/2016/2018? The latest is about 12 years from now, coincidentally. That'll be a wipe-out based on all the previous mistakes.

Risk analysis, what a hoot. There's nothing to suggest current scaremongering is any different from the past. They recycle the bullshine and change the date; at least there's all the previous successes failures to fall back on.

Actual pollution is something we should all be concerned about but why are you so willing to swallow information pollution when the source has a track record that would shame a laughing stock?

The tactics are transparent - silly deadlines and tipping points designed to get politicians to act in a precipitous manner when taxing businesses and 'the rich' for the purpose of furthering the socialist solution involving redistribution of wealth. Remember the good old days of double glazing and timeshare pressure sales techniques?

Even the most prominent IPCC climate modeller has called out the latest 12 year nonsense for what it is. Beyond that, manmade climate change is no more and no less than the latest imaginary hobgoblin that Mencken warned us about.

This (below) is what the current science says based on empirical data rather than inadequate models alone, if you want to know what the current politics says look up IPCC SPM reports and Greta's puppeteers' statements.

I try to look at a variety of information on a topic to get a balanced view. My judgement is homophobia and racism are wrong and have held that view from my teenage years when I first thought about it meaningfully.

I tend not to align myself with any people of any age that are homophobic or racist. As both those positions are illegal should she be given equivalent air time?

You are a classic case in point.

I’m not sure why you are on PH you seem not to have a car at all, or are too embarrassed to list your garage.

I just helped you out in that regard - in case you missed it, this is what current science says, as opposed to politics (e.g. IPCC SPM):

I’m not sure who your audience is meant to be but it’s not me.

As I said before take your arguments to those climate scientists with whom you disagree.

You undoubtedly have your followers here but they can do nothing to help your cause.

I can't figure out if Nick's a troll or someone who is 60+ and you know, getting set in their ways.

Nick, will you be alive in 12 years time (assuming nothing interferes with natures due course)?

Does seem that way doesn’t it.

I’m afraid Nick does seem very narrow and simple minded.

“Argue black is white” springs to mind.

It’s a school night so back home.

Simple minded, fair cop, break challenges into manageable bites results in my retirement income being twice the national average wage. My partner ditto. Plus a big wedge of fun money savings for toys. Kids through private education and university debt free and in receipt of the inheritance to purchase houses. 2 out of 3 mortgage free. BTW I’m not old enough to draw my state pension but have been retired your years. It probably won’t change my lifestyle when I receive it.

Narrow minded. So wrong.

I have no issue with getting on public transport and not understanding a word said. I care not a jot about sexuality or colour. I really don’t understand religion but if that’s someone’s bag so be it. My politics are more diverse than most would comprehend, as is is my taste in the arts. I could elaborate further but are really worth the effort? You seem to have a habit a making assertions without a jot of evidence or basis.

I’ve said it before I’m not difficult to track down and you are welcome to come visit. It would of course require you to come out from under your shell. Just a reminder stick to PH rules.
