I will certainly admit one thing... She is a very clever and beautifully spoken young girl and I imagine she will have a lifetime career in politics. Her command of English leaves many British children of her age adrift.

How do you know she’s being exploited?

Some think it's a child being exploited.

But others would just call her bonkers. Am i right, alwaysaway2?

Why does that matter? Surely if she’s given someone a kick up the arse that’s a good thing.

Also her point isn’t just focussed on individuals doing their bit is it? It’s on governments making changes so the huge companies who are causing the majority of climate change are limited in what they can do.

A young confident woman who has a message that continues to be proved right.
They are absolutely pants-wetting terrified of the generation she represents and it's hilarious to see the procession of old white men falling over themselves to show it on an almost weekly basis.

She's bonkers.

Bonkers means many things and enthusiastic about her cause... she is.

City fans go bonkers when City score. Last Saturday 96th minute.

Basically alwaysaway flies to every cardiff game and feels like it’s a direct go at him. When it isn’t at all but he reacts angrily about it because of perceived guilt.

That's a pretty good reply.

I mean it's total bollocks and no one would believe it for a second, but under the circumstances quite good.

Intelligent folk don't need the lecture and let's be fair they are more likely be the ones to recycle.

It's the stupid cockwombles who won't listen to reason that need the lecturing, but are too far up their own arses and incapable of education to realise this.

Thanks.
She's bonkers.
Her campaign modus operandi is bollocks.

Just my opinion. I am an old white person with the wrong views for the rebellion supporting social media mob and the earth socialists.

That should provoke you further. 🤣

Not many I'd imagine. But what has that got to do with anything?

Timmy Mallett was enthusiastic in a bonkers way. She's not.

Nah, I'm not provoked. But it looks like the OP in this thread was :hehe: :hehe:

Being right does make you correct, you are right.

One other thing to consider is that it looks increasingly likely that we are close to the end of the climate change denial game. Just like with big tobacco there is a limited period where the 'evidence is inconclusive, it's a myth, our own studies show etc.' excuses work. With tobacco it was when people saw their own families dying of cancer that they abandoned that line . With climate we are actually seeing the changes now (Australia in permanent drought, artic melting, weird summers etc) and public tolerance of denial seems to be shifting with things like Extinction Rebellion and this topic.

To borrow a phrase that Warnock could have written himself: what do you do when you aren't good enough to play the ball? You try to play the player instead.

You are completely missing the point of it, it isn't about individuals recycling and planting flowers. It's about raising awareness on a global scale so people put pressure on governements to make changes to stop the biggest poluters poluting.

The only thing you're provoking is people into thinking you're thick.

Absolutely beutifull piece 👌i apologize for misspelling turquoise! It hangs there with a beautiful telecaster end a few skateboards. And some signed art. Of course it is being used.

But but back to the point. **** me there are some idiots on here.. The point is not what I make. That is irrelevant. But the logic why you make so little. That is obvious. 🙈 Another glacier disappeared this week. **** the idiots trying to change the world, ehh.. Jesus..

You are actually right, the point isn’t what you earn as nobody really cares (what anyone earns not just you) but what the “idiots” were taking the piss out of was the fact you were online bragging.

People earn little wages for a number of reasons, but I’ll agree that some of it has to do with not wanting to work hard/go after better. There are a lot of lazy people about who won’t put effort into it and just stick with what they’ve got.

Who on here would accept a global government as a means to control global warming/climate change?

You really don’t see your problem at all, do you? Ever read “captive state” by Monbiot? You see, Britain has allowed foreign investment for some time. Even my country own one of the best areas I London. Foreign banking own your road projects. Down town London is only foreign, because British citizens can’t afford housing starting at 700k.
And you think Polish people out and Brexit will fix that? If so, your market would collapse, and you will be even poorer.. But brexit will never happen, because you have nothing to trade. Sorry mate, you are stuck in the larger community with common rules.. Even us, who are not members have to abide by them because of trade deals. The problem again isn’t within the Eu. The larger population is Asians, who really dosent have the means to do anything as single people, and their countries economics really on exports.
Welcome to the world mate 🤗

Didn’t vote on Brexit and avoid news regarding it like the plague. Wasn’t aware me saying I don’t want a global government because I want our own making rules for the county was even close to needing a brexit reply... but there you are.

Happy for anyone worker of any nationality to stay in the country.

There you are.. It dosent work that way. We have never been in the Eu, and still have to obey to EU rules for trade. And there you are. The ocean is more plastics than fish, and glaciers are melting. If ever to fix this, 2000 countries protecting their so called interest and reaching some sort of agreement. That’s when you get idiots like Trump saying global warming dosent exists, because I dosent fit the economy. Grab em by the pussy.

Why did you chose this post to reply to (where I wasn’t talking to you) but avoid a direct reply from me. Is it because I agreed with you and you couldn’t get an argument out of that one?

Don’t complain people call you an arsehole then run around acting like one.

You do? Lets Get a global fair trade commerce vote started pronto then! And leave the child alone.
It’s the only way to fix things. Through commercial agreements. Or war. But we rule that out for now..

Never complain about that. In fact, i rely on it.

why would they? take a look at the greens manifesto, outside of the environmentalist policies they are batshit insane. Other parties can tackle climate change far better than the greens, that's why I'd never vote for them

No discussion on global warming would be complete without David Icke coming in to bat for the other team.

How long before Dave Jones ruins her career :sherlock:

https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...r-nigel-farage

"Yet however her parents choose to deal with this, the broader problem she highlighted remains. A society that cannot bear to be lectured by its children, even when they’ve got a point, while the adults are behaving like spoiled toddlers refusing to clean up their own mess, is one that can never progress. Perhaps our children can finally be children again, when the rest of us grow the hell up."
