I wonder how many of her fans /parents of demonstration children/ CCMB supporters , actually practice what they preach and reduce their carbon footprint .
How anyone can feel anything other than admiration and inspiration and not be fully in agreement with and supportive of this brave, eloquent young girl is beyond my powers of reasoning. She is fast becoming an icon for the younger generation.
I don't think striving for a better planet while not being 100% carbon neutral is hypocritical. People seem to be doing their bit, everyone could do more but unless major corporations reign it in too a person going 100% carbon neutral wouldn't make much difference.
My reply to Rudy was tongue in cheek.
I agree with your point here, but why do climate protesters continue to try to cause havoc in the UK, when the UK governments are doing there bit, or at least starting to address the problems.
Wouldn’t they be better all cycling to India and China to protest?
Because the UK government is quite influential and could press for global change? Because we send tons of rubbish to these countries that they then throw in the sea? Because we buy low cost goods off these countries who aren't "doing their bit".
How often are climate protesters causing havoc anyway?
Why on earth would we feel guilt, got me thinking about my father who worked down the coal mines for 36 years and if it wasn't for coal I doubt Cardiff would be as well known as it is today. I certainly don't feel guilty for sitting in front of a coal fire when i grew up.
My problem with all the global warming protesters is that we never hear anyone saying what the biggest contributor to climate change is and your staring at it right now.
He doesn't even know when he is being a hypocrite I don't think.
From a piece he wrote quite recently defending spiked recieving a shed load of money from the Koch brothers:
"One of the most regrettable features of public life today is the crisis of good faith. The refusal to accept that people say the things they say because they really believe them, and the hunt, instead, for the real reason people hold and express certain beliefs. Who put them up to it? Who are they a front for? What’s the hidden agenda?"
"What is the story – the true, dark, shadowy story – behind their points of view and their political activity?"
He can wrap his critique of Greta up in faux sympathy but it is, in essence, the same tactic.
Brendan O’Neil ffs who next Ben Shapiro?! Katie Hopkins?
Why are some people so easy to lead in a certain way?
That's because you're an unremarkable individual with nothing important to say - somebody who will leave no kind of mark of whatsoever on mankind and who will never do, say, write or produce anything that will ever be remembered by anyone but your closest friends and relatives after you die.
You're like most of us - a nobody.
