I love the spin to nuclear. That shit isn't going to fly ever so the Trumpists can point to it and say, "but what about nucular!"

Do you think its even possible for somebody to be pro-green planet and not interesting in making a profit off of that stance?

If she and the adults who are using her are serious about climate change and carbon emissions, they would be first in line to promote nuclear power.

When climate activists try to move away from nuclear power, they show their true intentions. If you don't believe me, just look at the document Saikat Chakrabarti was dumb enough to send to every newsroom in the US earlier this year if you don't believe me when I say their true intentions aren't fighting climate change, but rather taking over our economy.

I'm not kidding when I tell you that green is truly the new red.

Stop talking about nuclear power. Just stop. That is a different discussion and I already said I agreed with the overall premise there.

Reply to the post, not the poster.

Regardless of her age or well to do status, she has a point. Man is making MANY changes to the planet, some of these are irreparable. This is not going to get better if we don't do something about it.

She doesn't have a point though. She is spreading alarmism that is far beyond what any reasonable climate model shows. Yes man made climate change is real, but no it isn't a fucking apocalypse and the end of humanity. Yes it needs to be addressed, but clearly she is just spreading venom and refusing to accept any solution that doesn't fit the red agenda.

You should go ahead and read that document put forth by Saikat Chakrabarti once again. He essentially gave the game away with that unforced error. The true motives here aren't fighting climate change and CO2 emissions, but rather fighting the economy that has given us the great life we enjoy in the 21st century.

It's great that you see the benefits of nuclear power. I'm saying that an up or down vote on nuclear power is a great way to separate those who truly are fighting climate change and those who use the movement as a cover for their true intentions of taking over the economy.

I thought her overly dramatic presentation meant she's either a bad actress or just deranged.

I haven't heard one word of her speeches. But I definitely know there's an absurd amount of jealousy for her notoriety and success.


What I hear of her speech wasn't so much an oratory masterpiece. It was more like a yelling temper tantrum.

And you're clearly jealous your temper tantrums are only read by a chicago sports message board rather than in front of the UN.

I'm just going to repost it since some people want to pretend that the reds haven't hijacked the green movement

There's a reason they tried to desperately scrub this one from every media site they sent it to.

Does this board have an unusually large percentage of crazies compared to the general populace?

When she said world leaders had stolen her childhood it was sad. It wasn't world leaders turning her into a child activist. It's admirable that she wants to do something though.

Pfft...facts. Who cares about facts or math or science....it's all about how we FEEL about climate change.

It's alarmist rhetoric and nothing more. Doesn't mean I don't believe carbon emissions are a problem....I do....but if you can't see the fraud of marching a kid on stage and in front of cameras trying to stir peoples emotions with zero fucking data....you're beyond help. Especially when our government and media have a long storied history of doing it.

Good day, indeed.

Because this is just how alarmist rhetoric works. It's been 10 years to save the planet since I was in high school.

When it comes to how we should handle our trillion dollar economy and a multi trillion dollar global economy I think listening to a 16 year old is really the best idea.

He could have used "drinking age" as a point of comparision, but he went with "defend Jeffrey Epstein" instead. Bold choice.

I imagine if I were wealthy I would not be too keen on giving away my money to poor people, but I would hope I would not be trying to destroy Earth as fast as humanly possible just for a slightly bigger profit.
