And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Is that really Greta yelling at world leaders on the left? Or is it a photoshop from a popular meme going around right now?
Come on, I know you get the point this is making. What 16 year old surfaces from nowhere, somehow gets the attention of all the world's press, travels effortlessly all over the planet meeting world leaders and speaking her 16 year old wisdom to the UN? Some group is funding and organizing this show, for a purpose, and little Greta is their prop. She'll drop back into obscurity the instant she's no longer necessary, and she'll wonder why no one is interested in her thoughts any more. As far as I can see, she's being exploited shamelessly by the people represented by the smiling bunch on the right of the photo. Now that she's agreed to be a public figure, angrily demanding our acceptance of her "sky is falling" ideology, she's fair game for mocking. The real bad guys and gals in this story are those that put her in this position and who are using her to their own ends. Clapping all the way. Whether she knows it or not, her "friends" have now thoughtfully made her into a caricature of the screeching, self righteous harpy, now recognized as such all over the planet. I recently saw a picture of her where she was actually smiling. I couldn't believe it, as I've never seen her in the least look happy before, as a 16 year old kid should, at least some of the time. I hope she stops worrying about things that will never happen, and learns to smile far more often than she frowns.
A fair comment, unlike your earlier post picking on her appearance. Does it really matter if she is expressing her own opinions or those of some group or organisation? Surely environmental awareness is in our best interests so who cares who raises the subject?
If you listen to what she says, it is not her own opinions she's expressing, she makes no secret of that. All she is really saying is tha we should listen to the science and scientists.
No, she isn't. I think virtually anybody here would lable themselves environmentally aware, considerate of nature, and believing of scientific principles. But Greta's hectoring is saying we should all toe the line and buy into the United Nations IPCC charlatan's message like the good little unthinking proles we are supposed to be. "How Dare You"! Too many flaws have been picked loose in that so-called 'scientific' policy charade; Like so many UN boondoggles, the intent has nothing to do with the purported message. Meanwhile, China's coal-fired power generating industry is booming. Where's Greta?
the climate science is unsettlingly no settled science but only a guess at best. given all the supercomputer modeling, the best climate forecast available with any degree of accuracy does not run out twelve years. forecasts can only deal in probabilities. Even then, the raw numbers need to be fudged in order to have a coherent result. It's a guess. greta is an angry undisciplined child who is going to be hit hard by puberty. I hope our progeny never have to go pull europe's chestnuts out of the fire ever again if this is the best they can do today. tomorrows european leadership will be screeching ignorant liberal dependapotamus' wondering who's money they can spend next.
Is there a world leader in the photo on the right?

DeleteCould Greta really be George Soros' love child? The facial resemblance is strikingly similar.
ReplyDeleteSince no one asked for her to get in our faces yelling propaganda, but she chose to do so while basking in her ignorance, she's fair game.
ReplyDeleteShe is a harpy indeed; a boobless high-school dropout boob!

ReplyDeleteI didn't know David Hogg had a sex change
ReplyDeleteOh dear.
ReplyDeleteAs I was taught that when you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. So on the subject of that person, I have nothing to say.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.
