It's a happy birthday thread. There's a more serious Thunberg thread in NACA.

I wouldn't worry too much - we're not dealing with a purveyor of
'Highly respected opinions on matters scientific' here.
- or much else tbh
In fact resistance from some quarters could even be useful.
You know like how when Trump says
Something is definitely the the case -
"100% Bigly True"
You will instinctively start to mistrust that 'fact' almost on principal??
Well its a similar sort of 'reverse psychology' at play here .
Not, A. Problem

Oh and science isn't politics.
It's just science.
It giveth not a shoot for human opinion, one way or another

TBH I hadn't clocked the distinction btxt thread classifications.
But I'd say, the least we could do on Gretas Birthday to take science seriously..
I can't see her being overly impressed with a shiny balloon with 18 written on it..
Sure she'd enjoy some 'weather events' though.

It's the irony. Calling someone a snowflake whilst getting triggered by them 🤦♂️

Ain't it always the way. Look at the way I asked for clarity on the autism thing which led to a flounce.

18 so when is she going to get a proper job, if she want to carry on what she's doing she should preach to India and China

She's done quite a lot already for someone so young, hasn't she?
Currently Greta is studying.
Why not tell us all about how you are helping the situation.

Now you put it like that ...
I expected some ... varied opinions on Greta, but this isn't how I thought it would turn out!

Very true, particularly if it was a helium filled ballon, released, to eventually fall to the ground (or more likely) ocean, to add to the litter and debris.

I admire climate change activists energy and passion. But it is very difficult to see how the world is ever going to change. Take South Korea, recently they had the first year where deaths outstripped births prompting panic among the countries leaders and capitalists. Apparently women are choosing a life and career that doesn't involve popping out a sprog. That simply will not do. Bad for the economy you see, which it is if you are not willing to be pragmatic and change the system... might have the US army marching into Seoul and overthrowing the regime if they did. Good luck to them anyway!

The conversation did take a bit of a peculiar turn...
