Greta Thunberg

[Scribus]

So as we can see nothing is as green as we think

It's more a question of what we are told to think.

It is interesting to note that the current crop of TV adverts for electric cars don't directly mention anything about saving the planet, yet this is what they are supposed to be all about. Perhaps the manufacturers feel they might not be able to back up any such claim and so just bedazzle us with the usual trendy glitz so beloved of unthinking snowflakes.

Man and his growing over population and excessive demands are bad for the environment. Fix that and you stand a chance otherwise you are going round in circles.

Possibly.
If mines were close to urban areas in developed Countries they be soon closed but out of the way and out of mind business as usually allegedly?

Indeed, and who in the west would tolerate using child labour in dangerous and unregulated mines if cobalt were found in the sunny climes of Stokes Poges or Tunbridge Wells?

Humans will bring about their own downfall, in my opinion in less than 100 years; good news is the planet can go about its business, repairing our damage.
Human race is a pee poor example of a species really

Yes

Yes

She's 17. In your opinion does that mean she is not entitled to an opinion? (genuine question). Or is it that people believe she is a puppet for other people? Also, maybe I'm being over-sensitive but I am a snowflake after all, isn't using the term 'child abuse' here diluting the term and possibly setting a dangerous or at least questionable precedent?

I recall that she was 15 when this all kicked off. Of course she is entitled to an opinion as long as it is not planted by someone else. Getting a juvenile to front opinions is child abuse by any stretch of the imagination.

Isn't it called indoctrination or radicalisation when attached to extreme Islam?

Do you have some knowledge that her opinion was 'planted'?

 

[arcobob]

Do you have some knowledge that her opinion was 'planted'?

Yes. Do your own research if you don`t believe me.

 

[Ncap]

Well that's a very surly answer to a perfectly civil question. Did someone rattle your cage?

 

[arcobob]

You have access to the same information as I do. Form your own opinion.

 

[Ncap]

Well sorry! I had not been 'researching' this - and yes, I do have access to the internet, it's available on computers these days - so I asked as the idea that someone had 'planted' her opinions (the way religious people plant their views on offspring) struck me as interesting. I didn't expect to get my head bitten off.
Is that how you treat all queries?

Try winding someone else up if it amuses you. I have completed my discourse with you.

 

[Ncap]

Childish and rude. 'I have completed my discourse with you' - what an utter prat
