*Politely* Meet Miss Greta Thunberg

Howdy, Everybody! Today, I want to respectfully introduce all of you to Greta Thunberg. You deserve to hear her current story in life.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greta_Thunberg
"My" Notes+++++
The Holocene extinction, otherwise referred to as the sixth mass extinction or Anthropocene extinction, is an ongoing extinction event of species during the present Holocene epoch (with the more recent time sometimes called Anthropocene) as a result of human activity. The included extinctions span numerous families of plants and animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and invertebrates. With widespread degradation of highly biodiverse habitats such as coral reefs and rainforests, as well as other areas, the vast majority of these extinctions are thought to be undocumented, as the species are undiscovered at the time of their extinction, or no one has yet discovered their extinction. The current rate of extinction of species is estimated at 100 to 1,000 times higher than natural background extinction rates.
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction
MORE https://paulstamets.com/mycological-strategies https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-54329813
Significance
The ongoing sixth mass extinction may be the most serious environmental threat to the persistence of civilization, because it is irreversible. Thousands of populations of critically endangered vertebrate animal species have been lost in a century, indicating that the sixth mass extinction is human caused and accelerating. The acceleration of the extinction crisis is certain because of the still fast growth in human numbers and consumption rates. In addition, species are links in ecosystems, and, as they fall out, the species they interact with are likely to go also. In the regions where disappearing species are concentrated, regional biodiversity collapses are likely occurring. Our results reemphasize the extreme urgency of taking massive global actions to save humanity’s crucial life-support systems.

Question: Do you believe we are trashing our own planet, and that the evidence presented for a 6th extinction event is real?

While I agree that the earth is being polluted, I don't think the evidence for a sixth extinction event is true to the extent that it's being claimed to be.
But the damage certainly is drastic enough to achieve the goal of convincing people to tone it down, which certainly will happen.

Everyone was talking about this shit like 4 years ago when it happened. Now nobody gives two shits about stupid ass Greta Thornburg i mean everyone knows people only talk about her cuz theyre jealous because she was born some kind of savant that garners all the sympathy so she can get away with anything and used that to get rich and famous sailing her parents yacht around the world for no reason. I'd call her publicist a genius if he wasn't such a scumbag. Pretty sure he stole all the money or something I forget. I mean imagine if you could pull that off. Brought awareness to the thing everyone was aware of and cash in. It almost boggles the mind.

In my relatively short life I have seen ecosystems dying, seen that there is significantly less animals, birds and fish in those ecosystems compared to what there used to be. I don't need science to tell me what I see is real.
The funny thing is though is that we don't have to do anything to nature to make it grow back, besides just leave it alone. Look at the demilitarized zone in Korea or Chernobyl and it's clear that life is extremely resistant and will flourish, if we don't actively kill it.
That said...
Greta is all weepy and boo-boo, which is normal for a young person who doesn't understand how intrinsically linked we are with death. We could all stop burning coal and stop making plastic and stop chopping down trees and it won't make one iota of difference when the next meteorite falls out of the sky and wipes out >90% of every species. It's happened before, it will happen again, it's just a matter of when.

Sure a big ass meteor might wipe a lot out but the more time that goes on, the less likely it is to happen, just a mathematical thing when everything formed out of a single point billions of years ago.

Hatred of Greta makes no sense to me. I think its silly the media focuses so much attention on a random teen rather than the actual experts, sure, but is that a reason to hate her? No. I agree with most of what she says, and so does the vast majority of research.
We are fucking ourselves over in the long run, and all to the benefit of short term profits for the geriatric oligarch classes. The changes we need to make are mostly pretty clear, and have been for a while, we suffer from a lack of political will precisely because our political class is capitalist, and those with capital are invested in the status quo. Simple as that.
As to the extent of the extinctions, it's not looking good.I don't think we're looking at annihilation of our species or anything that extreme, but a destruction of numerous habitats and multiplying crises will at least negatively impact the human future for a long time to come. It's pretty clear

We generally get a big meteor every 150,000 years or so, and a really big one every few hundred million. It's been 250,000 years since our last big one so the odds are increasing, but at the rate we're going humans will wipe out most of ourselves in the next 500 years or so (optimistically). So we won't get to see the big flash in the sky and reduction of our planet to ash and ice, which is a shame really as it would be one hell of a thing to see.

Would seem to be that given technological advancement, some space invention that was capable of derailing a meteor heading for us.
I too don't get the hatred of Greta. I mean sure she is right on a lot of things and yes, this course of action is completely unsustainable. But she is a kid.. you laugh and somewhat pity a kid for being so arrogant. You don't hate them lol
There is zero chance we are not creating a huge extinction. I don't necessarily subscribe to the automatic response to that from most: that we must do whatever we can do stop that. Even if we used 100% biodegradable products and everything was completely sustainable, there will still be a mass extinction of some sort.
Humans cause change. Changes cause... change. Animals are not holy. They evolve and go extinct and will continue to do so.

the climate disaster is not social panic... I agree worrying about asteroids is, but the climate danger is unfortunately very supported by research. The people telling you not to worry are making money hand over fist by fucking us over.
I don't think we're looking at the end of the world or a mad max reality, just decades of economic and moral decline as the wealthy countries are eased into acceptance of violent nationalism, while the poor countries are forced to suffer.

As much as this is an accurate sentiment, that does not at all mean there are not massive changes that MUST be done. The next statements from anyone with your line of thought is always completely devoid of any proposed solutions to the obvious problems that WILL occur if our current trajectory continues.

The solution is a total revamp of the way things operate and alot of innovation. It starts with cleaning up on a local level but also bringing together a world unified in fighting climate change waste an pollution. This is meant to be the one thing the world can actually peacefully come together and work on and you have people talking about violent nationalizm and all this other crazy shit. Seriously what in the fuck is wrong with you people?

nothing is 'wrong' with me for talking about the danger of nationalism.
The solution to climate change is global cooperation, and local political action to keep corporations in line, along with a lot of technical innovation.
I am concerned because the correct approach has been apparent to experts for decades, and the appropriate actions are not being adopted strongly or quickly enough to change our trajectory. The reason for this is that the class that benefits most off of our current situation, disproportionately influences politics in most countries, and it's in their interest -and the interest of many powerful corporate entities- to stall a lot of the necessary progress.
Where nationalism comes in is that there is currently a big surge in ethnocentrism and nationalist sentiment in many of the world's wealthiest and most powerful nations. This is concerning, because it doesn't take that much pressure to derail cooperative action and moral guidance.
I don't think nationalism or fascism is inevitable, but it is very hard to see how the United States and its closest allies go from where we are now, to a benevolent and proactive force for change.

Maybe the Rona is here to "save the planet". We're just a couple of mutations away from a strain that will eliminate a huge proportion of the world's population. Or it's just a mild warning about what a serious virus is capable of.
In the same way how people, until very recently, were claiming that covid is a hoax to make big pharma rich and remove civil liberties in a 1984esque takeover, most people will not accept the realities of climate change or be prepared to make any personal changes or sacrifice until it is actually killing them. By then the damage will be done, it will be too late.
You want 10 million bucks? We'll just cut down all these trees okay? Throw this waste in the ocean okay? Most people would kill the trees or pollute the ocean for less. And this here is the problem and why it will not stop. Ever. Not until we are all dead. Humans are greedy and stupid creatures.
And when simple resources like food get low tempers will fray. The world will point at China and the US for their disproportionately high contribution to this mess, they will point at everyone else and say they went along with it. Trade relationships will crumble, civil unrest will strike most countries. It'll be like the good old days when war and malnutrition was a significant factor in average life expectancy.
China doesn't give a fuck, they're in it for the money and power, the US is very similar, the rest of the world is trying to copy them. But just say somehow we did manage to reconcile these two frenemies, how the hell is India, Russia or the Middle East going to come to this party? Legalising psychedelics worldwide would not provide enough self realisation to overcome the ancient hostilities between many of these nations.
Some people from what I read might think that I worry about meteorites, or any of this, but that could not be further from the truth. It actually gives me solace that our planet can recover from things like the chicxulub event and the nature will thrive again.
There's simply no real solution now and I'm not worried at all. We were always destined to die, everything dies eventually. Just when I was younger I did not envision how quickly we were accelerating towards the point when our planet rejects us, nor the futility of trying to get so many people to co-operate.

Yeah, no one has heard of her until now.
God, she is a teen that did something wonderful when she got it and now is a media puppet and she wants to take a break as they put it? She is right and her message is playing on those that already know and deaf, dumb, and blind people where everything is money, money, money. Now, Now, Now.
Let her live her life.

All real concerns. I think our species or a species descended from us will be around to see the meteor impact though. Many emerging technologies are promising, cultural attitudes change with time, and I think sustainable ways of living are within reach after our lifetimes, regardless of innate negative human behaviors that propagate waste/pollution, resource inefficiency and disease.
With time I think our population will plateau or start to shrink. Maybe not in our lifetimes, but the trend points towards that being realistic as birth control, automotive technologies and increasingly difficult to occupy autonomous lands reduce the incentive or survival requirement to have more and more children. We needed a couple centuries of oil based energy to get the ball rolling on sustainable forms of energy, and eventually they will take over merely because they are cheaper and more reliable. New farming techniques require less land and water than ever before and haven't been fully implemented yet.
Our current excess and damage is real, and biodiversity across the board suffers for it, but I think we can manage out of it with time and maybe even avoid a meteor impact if we have another 100K years to prepare.

She's glorifying Aspergers and by calling it her superpower rather than encourage other freaks to get shock treatment or lobotomies or whatever the treatent is these days. Her mother quit her job as an opera singer to make the the little mutant happy, now she thinks the whole world is going to stop driving too. Well guess what? I am not going to stop driving.
I will only agree to cut back if Greta gets an onlyfans at 18. As will most of 4chan. Otherwise no deal.

I'd think 500 years would be more than enough to prepare for a major impact should we not totally destroy ourselves in the meantime. The last 60 years have brought unprecedented strides as far as our occupations of space. Another few centuries worth and we will at least be proficient in navigating our local system. Keep in mind, we first had a person in space less than 60 years ago. Diverting a meteor is in many ways a simple problem in comparison. We however aren't there yet.

I do like the optimistic view that everything will work out, that after a difficult balancing period that our species will advance technologically enough to become harmonious with the planet again. It will be a hard won battle though to get to that point, there will have to be a global shift in priorities and ethics. That's a long way off though and I can't envision the sequence of events that would lead to it. Humans historically have never been very good at getting along, though quite talented at being divisive. Maybe we can break that pattern. Would seemingly be a miracle though, most countries struggle to elect competent leaders at the moment.
There's significant power in large meteors. They can be 100km across and travelling at 100km per second. If that hit us it would detonate with the power of a trillion Tzar Bomba explosions. Trying to blow it up in space would be a neat trick as there's nothing to make a shockwave to destroy it. Trying to push something with that sort of power moving that sort of speed into even a slightly different trajectory would be a scientific feat. We're only just starting to harness the power of modern computing, it may be possible to do that in the future but we are no where near that now. If we saw it coming the most we could do now is put our head between our legs. The probabilities of this happening in our lifetime is tiny, but in the long term the probability nears certainty. Anyhow, that's all trivialities.

moving a very giant object off a earth killing trajectory is easy, provided you have enough warning. the truth is, space is very, very, VERY (very) big. with enough warning, you could just slap a few (or even just one) ion propulsion rocket latched onto the asteroid in the right spot, turn it on at the right moment, and laugh as it goes from killer trajectory to whooooosh, missed earth by hundreds of thousands of miles if not more.
the ugly scenarios really are only if you completely miss it until it's saying hello, earth~ weeks or hours away from faceplanting into your rose garden. then it's basically spray and pray with nukes and hope it's one of the puffy dustbunny asteroids that explodes into fragments easily instead of the "lol i'm just a giant lump of iron actually" ones that really ruin your day. or hope you get lucky with smacking into a crevice or something with the explosions to break it into smaller, hopefully less deadly pieces. maybe.

Lol, now I need that game. There's people who take watching out for giant space rocks really seriously and planning what to do if said space rocks start heading towards us. Maybe it deserves its own thread. That way we can leave Greta to weep about our planet in peace without all this fun rocket science and boom stuff.

You have no fucking clue what the OTD was. No one has posted anything near to it.
But on with her. I wish her the best and respect what she did before becoming a media puppet and controlled. That bothers me. Coal isn't the future people. Dr. Greer. Nikola Tesla, etc. They got it or get it.
Fuck the stone ages and regression of mankind.
I like how one person put it with eternity. This earth is a interesting leaning school in our eternal progressions and why we have chosen to be here.
Look around you. Do the evolution.

I don't know why Greta got person of the year in Time magazine or is famous for telling people what scientists have been saying since the 1950s. She didn't do anything or have any revelations that have contributed in any way. I would also like to know the circumstances by which she got to speak before a group of world leaders too, bet there's much money and power involved to propel a disabled girl into the spotlight.
People have been protesting about the destruction and pollution of our environment for generations now, but if a 14 year old with ADHD, OCD, and Aspbergers can understand it it must be true? Environmental organisations need to recruit more little girls to cry on cue, that way world leaders will listen, apparently.

She's a highly fussy eater, typical autism spectrum behavior with young people.
I have friends with a kid who's like that. Will only eat 3 things and if the portions on the plate are wrong or if it's not "just so" will reject the meal altogether. Balanced nutrition is out the window. Normal approach with kids where they'll eat anything if they are hungry enough just doesn't apply.
But yeah, I'm not into getting mentally challenged people to show their asses for bling. Even if they're hot there's still the thing there that it's exploitative, and not in a "you know exactly what you're doing" type capitalist Thot way.

I dont understand this treating ADS like it’s a big deal, it’s not. I did the food thing when I was younger, I regret it now because I missed out on a lot of nutrients. I’ve learned to compensate for mental shortcomings. She will too eventually, and she may be rather pissed when she realizes that her parents have been treating her like a pawn.

People should be grateful for Greta spreading valuable, and more importantly factual, information in an age of disinformation
Who cares about Time magazine person of the year award and how the media likes to portray her. That isn't her doing those things. She is passionate about our planet and in a world where it is being damaged at an exponential rate, I think that is something to applaud.
How people belittle her is beyond me.

Greta can suck a fuck, I always rinse my cans, recycle what I can, even batteries and all the really inconvenient shit.
For a good portion of my life I actually thought most people did this, it wasn't till oh for the last 9 years or so I discovered almost no one does.

How exactly does one "suck a fuck?"
A lot of recycling is a lie. My machine shop makes thousands of pounds of aluminum "swarf" annually, it's basically the millings from the billets that aren't the part itself. I looked high and low for a place to recycle this swarf, nobody will take it. Perfectly good 6061 aluminum goes straight into a hole in the ground because we (society) are too lazy to recycle it.

I wanted to post the recycle song but I can't find it, it was something like recycle recycle its the thing to do, something something something blaw blaw, looting and polluting is not the way, here is what captain planet has to say.
I am sure you are remembering it at this point,
Most of you watched this shit and are probably oh mer gerd big business is destroying the environment but aren't even doing your individual part,
and I gotta say, if over 50% of the population was doing what they could, not driving excessively, using alternative forms of transportation, turning their heat down a little, using a little less water and all those other things, getting their own solar going etc, things would actually have a significant impact, but no most expect the government to do things.
AS captain planet always said, the power is yours, but yall failed to step up.

I'll also add, citizens can take responsibility for their waste and that's all fine and dandy, but it's a distraction perpetrated by the largest polluters in the world. Consumers are in fact a fraction of the problem, industry will have to be reformed if we are to right this ship. The recent push to eliminate plastic straws is a prime example. Industry loves to push environmental reform on citizens, meanwhile industry is hands down the largest polluter by several orders of magnitude. Anything involving a large boat is proof enough.
That sexy slut Greta doesn't stand a chance.

Depends on your recycler, if I put even just one thing in it wrong, like a pizza box into the paper they won't take it.
Some companies have been caught selling it to foreign countries to just burn it and shit,
metal though is totally reusable indefinitely,
I got 200 lbs of copper saved up that I am about to recycle that shits worth a pretty penny.
recycling is always gonna be best as long as it is actually utilized, less mining and shit, your paper becomes the next houses attic insulation etc.

I had my house filled with cellulose. It works very well. Even in the coldest months our heating bills are quite low. In the summer months, our cooling costs are very reasonable too.

There are definitely some issues in our country, most the time it is illegal dumping and we fine them.
Maybe it should be more than a fine, maybe it should be a death penalty I don't know what the answer is, but really there are just too many people and too many people at that being far too destructive.
Normally when people do something that imbalances nature, like think certain animals are cursed and cursing their town, such as cats and other animals and start just slaughtering them, nature finds a way to resolve the imbalance,
Like a bubonic plague.
Today we have covid, if it is natural then it is the natural order attempting to bring balance once again.
just as when atmospheric conditions become too blaw blaw blaw, there are systems that have formed to keep things in balance and we get a hurricane or typhoon etc to balance the energies again.
We view these things are gigantic tragedies, which I suppose they are but instead of being horrified by them it would make more sense to just accept them for what they are.
Nature solving problems. Sometimes you might not like how nature takes care of things.
Well it is just tough luck and too bad because its been doing its thing for billions of years throughout the universe.

I get that nature becomes balanced. But from the perspective of human longevity with respect to how we live now, it seems we would need everyone on the planet to get on board being mindful of how our lifestyles affect things. Maybe if we all agreed today we could ride out what we have a little longer, but it does seem that we'll have to adapt or maybe die if we can't since we aren't experienced in getting the population of the planet to agree on such things.
Regulating business is one thing but regulating the minds of humans is another. Humans industrialized and exploited, business isn't really a seperate entity, it's an enterprise of human minds. Not saying I have a solution to fix things, but I hope everyone doing their part buys us enough time to find a solution before major shitstorm level catastrophe and loss

Not everyone will die, imagine if we didn't advance as far as we did as fast as we did recently, lets say we had just wood boats and were sailing all over the world, all of our STD's at that time were able to spread to every country on earth quite easily, but aids didn't exist back then or at least to our knowledge.
Then patient 0 happened for aids, now we were at a time that we were able to deal with it, with the science and medical tech to battle it within a few decades or what ever.
Now its very easy to survive it with treatment and we are very good at preventing its spread because people are aware,
but what if this happened before we advanced,
what would happen if aids was spreading out of control and no one even knew how it was spreading,
Would it wipe out all of humanity eventually?
No, it would just wipe out a fucking vast majority I would expect, but some people have the evolved immune system that can actually combat the virus,
Those people would live and spread their genes on and the virus would naturally either be eradicated or just be kind of in our species in an ebb and flow system, like magic johnson, however some people have the genetics and immune system that can actually defeat the aids virus all on its own, its rare, which is why so many people would die.
We now have the tech to combated the natural order of things as they have always been.
however we are a part of nature ourselves and everything we do no matter how dark, evil or what ever we as humans think anything is, it is all apart of the natural order, nuclear power is 100% natural so to speak in this regard, coal power, cars, rocket ships are all a product of nature though many of us do not view it as so, we seem to separate ourselves from nature, because of religions mostly.
Religions are apart of nature too everything is.
So what I am saying here is, enjoy the ride because nature is gonna do what is best for nature and nature seems to be trying to always develop more advanced minds so it can understand itself better.

Nature just is, I don't think it's trying to do anything but the laws of physics means it follows a course we can learn to predict, model, and affect change to specific outcomes. I dont think nature necessarily is geared towards producing intelligence and natural selection so far has only done that in select instances on this particular planet.
I dont think AIDs would have wiped us out unchecked, but I understand where you were going. We do have the ability to affect change, but like I was saying we also all have to be in agreement for the most part because shit gets "political," and like christopera said there is profit about which to worry

Consumers are in fact a fraction of the problem, industry will have to be reformed if we are to right this ship. The recent push to eliminate plastic straws is a prime example. Industry loves to push environmental reform on citizens, meanwhile industry is hands down the largest polluter by several orders of magnitude. Anything involving a large boat is proof enough.
That sexy slut Greta doesn't stand a chance.
Absolutely. Aluminium and steel smelters burning coal and all the shit that leads to that point, crazy mofos cutting down the Amazon to plant palm oil and shit like this are part of our biggest concerns, so many heavy industry actions that cut so much deeper than any soda can we futilely try to recycle could repair.
Greta could not change the way it is if she had all the money of all the Thots in the world put together. She could be Queen of the Thots and the head of Greenpeace simultaneously and it's unlikely there'd be any real change stemming from her words or actions.
After all she called everyone to arms to hold these motherfuckers accountable, make a change, group together as people, yet this thread is probably one of the better outcomes from her speeches so far. At least there isn't anyone denying what she says as truth.

I believe nature has a plan, maybe not in the way me and you could ever understand.
Here is a mathematical situation to ponder on, if time is infinite, and space is infinite, but space doesn't need to be infinite only time would need to be infinite for this,
but lets say things go on for infinity then that means there are infinite amounts of time to happen for infinite amount of possibilities to occur.
So if a stream of infinity lead to me being born and coming into existence and being conscious, then there is infinite amount of time for it to happen again, I might very well get a do over or there very well might actually be something beyond our life that we get to experience first hand.
That means there is a possibility that this life is just one step onto something more so I don't really know why we act like this particular life and making sure it goes on for ever or as long as possible, humans in general, their lives, their species and why we think it is just so important, other than it is what we can relate to.
There is a good chance there is more to it so we should all just be enjoying the ride but in stead of enjoying it we always get caught up in all these little things.
Take a look at this graph

This is the growth of the human population, it has grown exponentially and anything that goes up must come down.
There will be a major population correction, probably sooner than later and it isn't an apocalypses, it is just what you would expect with such a massive acceleration of growth at far to great of a rate.
heck most of our scientists agree its grown to fast and we need to slow it down or reduce it,
bill gates and all his big brains think vaccines and survival rates can somehow bring that number down by somehow lowering the birth rate and it very well might be true.
See we act in ways nature planned for us, like if we are dying a lot then we naturally apparently want to shit out extra extra kids so some can survive,
The people doing this didn't consciously think this, it was pre programmed into them.
Rich greedy billionaire garbage dumpers didn't grow up thinking oh I can't wait to do this one day, it is just in their nature,
Me, you we would most likely do the same as they did if we were put in their situation as we are pre programmed for most of these things.
Some of us learn to over ride our instincts normally through training in life guided by elders etc.
But there is going to be a lot of death or something soon, in the next 100 or so years.
That or a massive drop in human births but I doubt that, most likely death a lot of death,
Covid is nature getting a run up on it and we are trying to fight this step,
nature will ramp things up in one way or another, be it food shortages, disease, manic homicidal acts.
We all die eventually anyway, what does it matter if it is covid, cancer, a knife in my neck it all gets me to where I am going inevitably, i'd say the natural order of the universe has something in store for us for that inevitability, there is no doubt some reason existence exists and why consciousness exists.
Something is going on and no one knows what it is but we all find out eventually.

All the human-related issues going on in nature (global warming, trash dumping everywhere, reefs getting fucked, oil spills, ice caps melting and sea levels rising, etc etc etc) are really setting our future up poorly. Nature does indeed try to rubber band effect back into equilibrium but that doesnt excuse the human race from the very impactful damages we are currently creating. The damage is provable on a grand scale
It's happening on a way larger scale than just recycling your plastics and you obviously already are aware of this budman. This kind of damage seems to just creating more complications socially and economically too. Greta is talking about this stuff and actually getting attention for it; I have yet to see why she is such shit for doing that

So what in the fuck does stupid ass Greta Turnberg have to do with any of that? People gave her foundation the guy who promoted her that then cut her out it millions on millions. Wheres all that money? This whole thing is some eco scam by a very creative PR team that does nothing u morons. They even exploted a special needs child to do it. Disgusting. Nobody talks about that and if you say it people think your some retard asshole. Pot calling the kettle black. You people once again let scumbags con you out of money so you can act smug and arrogant and feel good about yourself thats all it is. Shows how much of a fuck people truly give about this issue.
This is one the only articles I can find as it seems the full story has been washed from the net https://www.thelocal.se/20190210/businessman-hits-back-at-greta-thunberg-eco-profiteer-charge

I am sure you are remembering it at this point,
Most of you watched this shit and are probably oh mer gerd big business is destroying the environment but aren't even doing your individual part,
and I gotta say, if over 50% of the population was doing what they could, not driving excessively, using alternative forms of transportation, turning their heat down a little, using a little less water and all those other things, getting their own solar going etc, things would actually have a significant impact, but no most expect the government to do things.
AS captain planet always said, the power is yours, but yall failed to step up.
everyone I know recycles, but that's beside the point. Most of that recylcing in my country isn't really recycled, and the impact of individual action is not enough to change course. Plastic straws are a drop in a bucket, a bucket filled by the consequences of corporate and political irresponsibility.

Yes the plastic recycling system is garbage. Fine.
That doesn’t mean that recycling things like aluminum and other metals is also broken. Recycling Metals is extremely important not just for the environment, but economically. Making aluminum is extremely energy intensive and expensive as fuck. The only reason aluminum is cheap is because we recycle it.

budmanman said: There are definitely some issues in our country, most the time it is illegal dumping and we fine them.
Maybe it should be more than a fine, maybe it should be a death penalty I don't know what the answer is, but really there are just too many people and too many people at that being far too destructive.
Normally when people do something that imbalances nature, like think certain animals are cursed and cursing their town, such as cats and other animals and start just slaughtering them, nature finds a way to resolve the imbalance,
Like a bubonic plague.
Today we have covid, if it is natural then it is the natural order attempting to bring balance once again.
just as when atmospheric conditions become too blaw blaw blaw, there are systems that have formed to keep things in balance and we get a hurricane or typhoon etc to balance the energies again.
We view these things are gigantic tragedies, which I suppose they are but instead of being horrified by them it would make more sense to just accept them for what they are.
Nature solving problems. Sometimes you might not like how nature takes care of things.
Well it is just tough luck and too bad because its been doing its thing for billions of years throughout the universe.
You’re using pseudoscientific woo woo to justify being lazy, selfish and inconsiderate.

I'm sure that's a compelling "documentary" filled with "facts" and real climate change activism. Def not some savage hypocrisy meant to be nothing more than a cash grab by exploiting stupid peoples emotions by preying on their fears and arrogant inflated egos.

Is amusing when people just generalize the whole thing, write nothing of worth and to learn from, and just post something vague and inane as that.

Like what the guy on the video did? He kept everything vague and scary before he snuck in outright lies.
I don’t see the point in critiqueing a 14 minute psychobable critique that’s just using vague generalizations in a sophist context to say OMB.

You know what I just realized this is the exact thing they pulled with that pedophile show "shorties." I told you then they're just going to keep pulling this shit if you people keep letting them get away with it. Its the same exact gimmick. Half the people think its one the most groundbreaking progressive statements of our time, half the people think its so outlandish and controversial and everyones talking about it so they have to watch, and half the people are jerking off to the supple sexy little children. And Netflix profits. Disgusting.

I, for the most part, stayed out of that cuties discussion. I stated my part and bailed. The usual culprits showed up to defend it and I think a few people even got banned over it.

Don’t take what I said at face value, I could be wrong. If you want to relive that thread, have fun.

The following link is to the "updated" Toolkit that Miss Thunberg shared:
https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/ehTz+drfKPwi4fP5dn0mivwVCKhwNe7OD1YHDiBUj0Y/
Please note that it takes roughly 40 seconds for the Toolkit to appear.

I encourage all of you to consider carefully what Greta is saying and what scientific literature is saying. I know it's a lot to absorb and it feels like a punch in the face. That's not the point. See the facts, if there are any, and see the scientific projections.

It's not a lot to absorb, it's pretty straight forward, and it's not "news". Scientists have been warning us since the 50's. All Greta does is repeat these scientific facts. There's no revelations.
It's an interesting psychological phenomenon that people will listen to a little girl and experts rather than actual scientists though. Like what do scientists know? What have they ever done for us?

You’re probably too young to remember what air quality was like before there were strict emission rules.
