Dinesh D'Souza (US author/twat) scrapes the barrel with Greta Thunberg/Nazi children comparison

[Yuwipi Woman]

Of course, she's never been the only child speaking up, but that doesn't take away from her achievements. I can't even begin to imagine how many people are plotting to silence her right now.

I'm not contending that or taking away from her achievements. What I'm saying is that they figure they can silence all of them if they silence the most visible one of them. We need to make sure everyone understands that its not just one child who worries for her future, there's another one right behind who will say the same thing.

We need to make sure everyone understands that its not just one child who worries for her future and if you shut one up, there's another one right behind who will say the same thing.

They clearly haven't grasped the main reason for having 15 back-ups.

Plotting? Sounds very conspiratorial.

Do you discount genuine concerns that Greta and other children are being used as pawns for climate alarmists to push their agenda?

What does Greta say? And by 'climate alarmists' do you mean 'overwhelming majority of scientists all over the globe'?

Genuine concerns my arse.

Do you have any actual evidence that she or anyone else is being used as "pawns for climate activists", or is this just more baseless smearing?

How 16-year-old Greta Thunberg's rise could backfire on environmentalists

Just how inspiring or even persuasive you find Greta’s speeches and overall activism likely depends on where you stand on the political spectrum. There are plenty of politicians and regular voters claiming to be inspired by her words and passion. There are also lots of observers expressing general alarm at what they see as an indoctrinated child being coerced by adults to make their political arguments with her youth as a shield from any criticism.

which group are you in? And would you care to expand on the points where you believe she is wrong?

Or are you just gonna copy n paste right wing shite

Didn’t climate change guru Al Gore (with all his climate scientists consultants) claim back in 2006 that he believed humanity may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan?

What do you think Marty1 ?

It's entirely possible that we've hit such a tipping point already, or as good as hit one for all practical intents and purposes given how long it takes to implement international policy changes. For instance all the recent forest fires must be causing feedback loops. Just because much of the world has yet to feel like a frying pan doesn't mean we've still got any way to reverse the trend.

I wouldn't discount genuine concern that this child/young woman could suffer burn out or other adverse affects from being on a world stage, but I'll discount disingenuous concerns like yours. She is giving voice to scientific evidence, not alarmism, evidence that has been ignored for too long. She's speaking for the generation that will have to live with the actions (or lack of action) we take today for many decades longer than the people with the power to take action. That voice needed to be heard and now it is. They are right to be angry and to voice that anger. It is regrettable that the media focus is so concentrated but that's not the fault of scientists and other climate activists. i'm sure every one of them would have preferred that governments had taken action on their word before Greta and other young people felt the need to act as they have. They are not pawns. These are their voices.

What's that got to do with today's debate and the latest peer reviewed science? Or is babbling on about things from 13 years ago all you can come up with?

That a lot of the claims these so called experts offer turn out to be complete shit.

Ah, so now we're reduced to dismissing peer reviewed studies from highly qualified professionals as 'so called experts.'

So what research do you accept and why? Anonymous YouTube videos perhaps?

holy shit.

I think I’m just less susceptible to snake oil salesmen/women/children (Al Gore,AOC,Greta) who base their preachings on ‘highly qualified professionals’.

those specifics we were talking about......??

 

[eoin_k]

Don't you hate those pesky snakeoil salesmen who base their worldview on peer-reviewed scientific research rather than a personal hunch about their own susceptibility to bias?

 

[8ball]

I think I’m just less susceptible to snake oil salesmen/women/children...

Not much room left for snake oil enthusiasm when you live up the arse of salesmen of the petroleum persuasion.

 

[editor]

They reference and back up their claims with solid science that has been peer reviewed by thousands of scientists around the world.

So now tell me what sources to use. List them here please.

The author of that piece isn't. He's a far right scumbag who endorses other far-right loons Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec - people like that. But then, you knew that, that's your pool after all.

Ok.

Who should we be listening to then?

I’ve come back to this post.

You seem happy to discount crap Al Gore was spouting back in 2006 regarding his 10 years to save the planet spiel yet here we have Greta (12secs into video) spouting similar propaganda:



‘We are less than 12 years away from not being able to undo our mistakes’.

Same snake oil, different conduit.

 

[fucthest8]

I refer you to post #75

Tell me, who stands to profit if we do something to reduce Global Warming?
Now, who stands to profit if we don't?

Those are the only questions that you need to ask yourself.

Why do you keep wriggling out of answering the question that has been repeatedly put to you?
