Greta Thunberg

[Scribus]

Letter in the Eastern Daily Press:


Hundreds of pupils join climate change protest in Norwich
See inside the luxury holiday hot tub apartment preparing to expand
Cliff collapses on North Norfolk coast
LOOK INSIDE: Norwich city centre triplex
Is it just me, or does anybody else concern themselves about the poor, manipulated child, Greta Thunberg and her growing band of misguided followers (including ridiculous politicians) in the new climate religion?

Yes, I know I'll be called a "denier" of climate change, but that is not true. I am a person wishing we would cease a one-sided debate which is forging a path towards unsustainablity at massive cost, a breakdown of society being the inevitable outcome.

Miss Thunberg needs a reality check, as do all climate change fanatics. Groupthink (encouraged by governments and the media, a classic case of not letting the facts get in the way of the rhetoric) is not the way forward.


Young voices like Greta Thunberg are a potent force, so let's give them the vote at 16

Will these young activists sign away their right to drive cars, have continental holidays and cease purchasing electronic equipment because of the damage done to the environment in their manufacture? When reality dawns, what then?

Politicians pretend to listen then make promises of vast sums of cash to idiotic schemes such as even more of their beloved wind energy, the "panacea", despite the warning of experts.

It is not our national grid, or remaining industry, that will have any effect on climate change, it is the emerging Asian nations who aspire to the life-styles of the West. They will continue to erect power stations using fossil fuels. Let's hope carbon capture and storage will soon become a reality.

How dare Thunberg complain we have betrayed her generation and stolen her dreams?

Maybe if she wasn't bunking off school for a year, she might have studied the terrible lives of children in Victorian times. Her generation are lucky to be growing up during an era of prosperity, wellbeing and comfort that would not have been imaginable even just a few decades ago.

This is as a direct consequence of the efforts and sacrifices of her parents' generation and their forefathers. It has been made possible by economic development based around plentiful fossil fuels.

A good and worthy post JP, and it's a relief to see other folk are at last waking up to this great green movement which has far more to do with preserving and multiplying the profits of big business than it has to do with saving the planet.

I have been banging on about the futility of electric vehicles for long enough now. They are another obvious sign that it's not about the environment at all, we are being conned into cars that are likely to have just as large a carbon footprint as conventional vehicles without a minute's thought as to alternatives to fossil fuels or highly damaging batteries. They are out there as I have repeatedly shown, but nope, it doesn't accord with the agenda of big money and big technology, which are pretty much one and the same thing.

Politicians are a lost cause, totally hopeless when it comes to assessing and and evaluating the conflicting interests within society. Their major skill set is in getting elected and progressing their careers rather than serving the interests of those who vote and pay for them.

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to talk to Sean Kelly, an Irish MEP, at a farm open day where the main item of interest was the use of forestry thinnings as a bio-fuel. He was rather boastful of the fact that he wants to see home heating oil outlawed, but when I put it to him that carbon can be recycled as a liquid fuel as much as it can a solid fuel he, for a brief second, looked stunned, the thought had obviously never crossed his mind, nor, presumably had it been discussed in the corridors of Brussels or pushed by the various lobbyists. The following day I put this all into a polite email along with one or two other concerns and have yet to receive a reply.

As you say, the west faffing about with windmills and batteries will have no effect other than to line the pockets of big business. Every protocol has failed, if we are serious about anthropogenic climate change then we need to start extracting carbon, I'd go further and say we can recycle some of that carbon as fuel, it's how nature has managed energy for billions of years, why should we know any better?

Good man Jeremy!

A 15 year old with a spokeswoman! Jeez, that says it all.

Is there some special significance in that name that I have missed?

No idea, that's her shadow/handler/spokesperson. Russkie tv called it a form of 'paedo politics'

Another George Soros funded coup.

Now tell me seriously .. does a multi Billionaire do anything but make sure he makes MORE money ..

Soros is making sure his "Investments" are 100% politically guaranteed.

Miss neubauer is employed by a mr soros

Not 'only' Soros. Do you also count Bill Gates as an evil man? (Microsoft systems are pretty evil, I'll grant you that.) Or Bono? I think conspiracy theorists generally end up with very high blood pressure and few friends.

could not be further from the truth . a lot of people are in for a shock ,when the bankers have failed .
the young today can see that the ladder has been pulled up on them , and unlike the old , can see that the old are banging their heads against a wall and calling thinking they are getting ahead

 

[graham99]

greta has the wrong target in her sights .
her target should be the tax system .
if we did away with tax deductions ,we would see waste disapare over night .
if every one paid the same tax rate ,and could not aviode paying their tax , we would see a change in human the human race

Has the young lady actually enlightened us to the dreams to which she refers?

Would you be proud if she was your daughter .............

Would you be proud if she was your daughter .............

No.

 

[bobk]

No.

Me neither

Would you be proud if she was your daughter .............

Would you be proud of your parenting?
Or is that what you meant?

You have a valid point, I've always let our kids do what they want ............ although I've pointed out beforehand they're wrong

Bill Gates is trying to buy his way into heaven I guess after ripping off the whole world.

Bono runs a "charity" which does nothing but lobby the rich and famous .. it does little else.

Have a good look at the Labour MPs spitting, shouting, pointing like the gammons they are .. you won't find Conservative supporters on the streets shouting and protesting .. and just look at that loud mouth outside Parliament that thinks he can get his way by plastering the environment with EU flags.

Reality does match what you say does it ?
