So Who Are The Adults Pulling The Strings of the Child Climate Change Protests?

When dealing with an issue that even our own DoD here in the States has said could harm as many as 2 billion people worldwide, it's hard to not be angry with those who simply are much more willing to blindly accept right-wing politicians than the 98% of climate scientists worldwide who have concluded that climate change is indeed happening. This should not be partisan politics, and yet Trump and his loyal followers elevate that over objectively-derived evidence.

According to this it is only 97%

'97% Of Climate Scientists Agree' Is 100% Wrong

The 97 percent claim is a deliberate misrepresentation designed to intimidate the public—and numerous scientists whose papers were classified by Cook protested:

“Cook survey included 10 of my 122 eligible papers. 5/10 were rated incorrectly. 4/5 were rated as endorse rather than neutral.”

—Dr. Richard Tol

“That is not an accurate representation of my paper . . .”

—Dr. Craig Idso

“Nope . . . it is not an accurate representation.”

—Dr. Nir Shaviv

“Cook et al. (2013) is based on a strawman argument . . .”

—Dr. Nicola Scafetta

Think about how many times you hear that 97 percent or some similar figure thrown around. It’s based on crude manipulation propagated by people whose ideological agenda it serves. It is a license to intimidate.

It’s time to revoke that license.

If we are going to take man-made climate change seriously, let’s start by banning all commercial flights.

My point was about resource management starting at unnecessary consumption. A lot of people do not need a gas fueled vehicle at all. A lot of people, and companies, can phase out gas fueled vehicles for electric.

For commercial flights I would start with removing first class as it consumes more space which can be used for more passenger. Charge people based on their weight

We have no choice but to do something.
All of these talking points are meaningless. Instead of making excuses about why it's too hard, or why other countries aren't pulling their weight or whatever, how about instead, leading by setting the example?

Except for the fact that it is a global problem.Taking drastic action in one nation while other nations do little only cripples the nation in question.


We have no choice but to do something. No matter how much it costs.

Crippling an economy leads to destabilization. Destabilization leads to radicals taking over government which can easily reverse the changes you want.

We went to the moon for goodness sakes; we are equipped to deal with this problem, we just need the will power.

Lightly seared on the reality grill.
The UN would rather promote what Greta says than what the experts say.

Greta is actually just saying what the overwhelming majority of the actual experts say. Guus Berkhout is a oil industry engineer, not a climate scientist.

Claiming "the experts" support the climate change denial that your alt-right masters have told you to believe, is simply untrue.
