Greta Thunberg
Setting aside that there could be a lot of "manipulation" going on here, a powerful and moving speech!

I still wonder how many of the generation us oldies are destroying will still want the latest electronic gizmos this Christmas regardless of the pollution their manufacturing creates ?

Climate change is all down to motorinf and air travel, nothing else. Lets as a government tax the motorists, haulage companies and bus operators to the hilt. Along with anyone daring to travel abroad.

On the underlying topic the statistics are far from credible and are based on the negative viewpoints of commentators who see themselves as saviours.
Targets for any remedy are nations - not individuals - and they will not change to any meaningful degree, nor even listen. On the performance of the speaker in support of radical change it was a moving and impressive delivery. If her words were her own she is a present and future field leader but I suspect her youth and passion has been harnessed by her elders. Even so, a remarkable and creditworthy performance.

I can't help noticing that their cause has now been conflated, or at least loosely associated, with a 'new age' diagnosis of a behavioural abnormality.
I think it might just have the reverse effect for both messages to suffer - both the environment and the condition. That, just in my view, is an unnecessary and unhelpful twist. In fact, a cynical twist. "The Environment" has become a hive of wannabees (sic) drawn from all quarters - some not so altruistic or desirable.

I was more worried than impressed and not about the weather ... it is honking down here atm. It did not look or sound at all normal to me and I could not help but feel that if anything has been stolen from her then it is definitely her childhood and not her dreams. But as for who was responsible for the theft I would not place money on social services blaming the rest of the world.

Around 1/4 of all global warming gases are from China, now the workshop of the world, just like we used to be at the start of the Industrial Revolution.
We can only hope to set an example, whatever we (UK) do will not make much difference overall. Expectation of an ever expanding economy, production and trade works against the principle of a sustainable future.Too many products too many people. |

Just found a chart that gives CO2 emissions by country, China was 27.4% and the UK stands at 1.1%.
Strange there were no climate change protests in China. |
