balanced slice of journalism - The Times

it’s owned by Rupert murdoch ffs.

Ah, yes, The Guardian. Get a more balanced slice of journalism from other places - including The Times -and you'll find her groupies are flying on ahead and they and some of the crew will be flying back. Don't worry thought -they're certainly not, because they've 'offset their emissions'. Probably by paying some poor farmer in Equador to plant a couple of hundred saplings for 50 pesos. They're all wealthy millionaires, her parents have spent their acting/opera careers flying tens of thousands of miles, and now expect us to spend our holidays in Skegness or Le Touquet. She's just a front, a gimmick, in an age where such things have a willing and gullible audience - though judging by what I've seen, it's not that big..

No one is telling you not to fly though, people are just saying we should be more considerate with what we do and how we live our lives.

This is to raise awareness to put pressure on governments who are allowing 100 companies to contribute 70% of all carbon emissions. And as far as I can see it’s working.

What exactly is your problem with it?

The amount of anger is the shocking thing, there’s no mild disagreement or constructive points being made just people attacking a 16 year old girl.

The same people seem happy for old men to tell us what to do though.

Look she's being exploited. She is a child. It's shameful.
Just my opinion.

So you don’t know if she’s being exploited then? You were calling her bonkers a couple of pages ago, why would you call her that if you were worried about her being exploited?

Look up bonkers in a proper dictionary.
Or maybe you are an urban dictionary type.

adjectiveINFORMAL•BRITISH
adjective: bonkers
mad; crazy.
"you're stark raving bonkers!"

We know what you meant mate, at least try and stick by it.

People seem to be using the stupidest reasons to attack her but she’s in all the news and is massively raising awareness of this. Who cares if a tiny amount of carbon is produced if this raises enough awareness where it matters.

No finer example of this than the mess that is Brexit.

"Dad, lots of people could lose their jobs in the event of a no-deal Brexit"
"Never mind. You youngsters have it far too easy nowadays, we wouldn't have won the war with defeatists like you, time you showed some fighting spirit. Believe in our future and everything will be fine"

All said by people who also never fought in a war

Not sure if people just get more miserable if they get older or jealous of kids but it’s nuts saying stuff like this. See the A level thread on here. People complaining A level maths is too easy while not being able to spell or use a comma correctly

This kid was bullied because she took it upon herself to pick up and recycle rubbish she saw walking home from school. Kids are not stupid they can see what’s happening in the world and don’t need to be “exploited” to make these points, they already know it themselves.

“Trash girl” picked up rubbish.

This other girl has more means to go about it in a different way, so what?

[life on mars]

She is being commercially exploited to make a point for older folks views.

And use her to call for civil disobedience is not a good learning point for a child.
