Pushkin Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 She should be turning her "How dare you" comments back at her parents or other adult guides who have clearly written the material for her and coached her on how best to present (their) points of view. How dare they - I say they should be full of shame for treating her as a commodity to do this. Why didn't or couldn't they have done this themselves? I hope the lass doesn't suffer in any way for them having manipulated her like this. 😕 Pushkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Some bright spark has turned her speech into a Swedish Death Metal song! It works pretty well... My other half's assessment: 'painful on the ears, but I'm sure no more painful than listening to her without the metal' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger-Mouse Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Well I guess she's not all bad. "She has even declined to endorse a specific platform in the European Union, where her “Fridays for Future” movement has taken hold."

Saltings Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 guys please she is a child being manipulated, do not attack her but help her to understand the ecology, known world cycles going back long before google / laptops to written scribes if going back in history what we see today is nothing new its a natural cycle every few hundred years / volcanic eruptions three yrs or more to cool the earth down so a more stable climate without extremes (flooding from 60s we no longer dredge rivers and have silted up cost too much to dredge ) a dragline was the norm on rivers with a visible spoil mound till this day up until the 70s (its all about costs dredging on a barge and 360digger ,,, rather than a 22rb or a p&h draggling line health and safety cant throw a freeline on a brake most be power up /down so cannot throw a bucket so more expensive full stop so no longer profitable just look at how many 22rb were employed up to the 60 s/70 s in dredging you will be amazed what a 60hp diesels did for the environment rather than todays,,, shouldn't do environmentalist types understand how much was done with so little before them but ( who don't do anything but talk or protest and don't do anything hands on) for the environment other than cost money through disruption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure it’s so much about taxation and power, as it is about recourses running out! What better way to slow the use of fossil fuels and prolong the dependancy on it, than to claim it’s harming the environment? Then insist we should limit the amount used while paying more for it. Maybe young Miss Thunberg would like to opt into the mars colonisation program? That way she can look forward to a planet unspoiled by global warming, and pollution. Maybe sign the rest of the climate change protestors to the same program! That way they are far enough away that we don’t hear them yelling, and get on with our meat eating, fossil fuel burning, jet set lifestyles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does say rather a lot in relatively few words; I identify with your experience - I recently extracted from my sons bedroom 27 500ml plastic water bottles with varying amounts of water in them along with a tesco strawberry bowl that had a mould growth that had expanded to such an extent that it pierced the container. The latter resulted in an odour when opening the door first thing in the morning that I can only describe as the stench of a dead animal in the early stages of decomposition - no idea how he slept in there...

Rewulf Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Big daughter just moved into student digs for her first year at uni. Texted me yesterday to say she had a fly infestation in her room.... I advised her to find whatever bowl of 2 week old leftovers , was attracting said infestation and remove it in due course. Really ? She said, I didnt realise that would happen ...You wouldnt do ,I replied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
