Greta Thunberg found guilty of failing to obey police at climate protest
She told Swedish media that she will not be appealing the verdict.

You're viewing a single thread.
Didnt she say on twitter we would already be dead in 2023?
I don't think you read your article. And Steve Forbes himself doesn't seem to have basic logic capabilities.
2023 was the supposed deadline for stopping the usage of fossil fuels, not the exact time humanity will be wiped out. Did you think this was going to happen in as little as one year?
It will take decades. But with every year we keep using fossil fuels, we're ensuring that it'll be worse.
The way the climate alarmist make it sound it will. Or maybe there is other factors in play but you can't waste a good way to scare the populous into fear.
Not like we havent have had climate change before industrialization... Those glaciers melted just out of fun, hell we were told the late 70's it was a "micro ice age". Been around the block, this is a ploy for control. If these elites really cared about it they would scrape their G5's jets... Never gonna happen.
Plastic pollution in the sea, yeah thats on us. R22 eating the ozone, yeah again us. But CO2 is a natural compound, some man made, mostly naturally made. So I'm keeping w/ the status quo.
ploy for control
I mean one might want to consider that oil production is also controlled by elites and brings them a lot of money, so it might be why media outlets like Forbes are being paid to call it "climate alarmism" lol
But CO2 is a natural compound, some man made, mostly naturally made
Natural CO2 is part of a mostly balanced cycle. That balance is no longer there. We're at a level that hasn't been seen before in human history. Higher CO2 levels have been seen on Earth before, but that was before our species.
The temperatures are going to be high enough that there will be no "going out" in many areas, you're restricted to air conditioned buildings and cars. If your AC breaks at the wrong time, you're fucked.
People have been living in way hotter environments for centuries w/o AC and modern convenience. I'm pretty sure we can do it again if it comes down to it...
Example:
Why do you assume climate change simply means 'it'll get a couple degrees hotter everywhere?' Will this ancient air conditioner allow Florida residents to continue living in their homes under 6 feet of water?
What it means is more energy in the atmosphere which will be unleased in things like hurricanes, tornados, blizzards, floods, and yes, hotter weather. It isn't going to change the entire planet into a desert climate, but it will make lots of areas uninhabitable.
Every summer there are some who die of heat stroke. Yes, there are survivors, but that doesn't mean the heat isn't dangerous; it just means you've decided you're comfortable with what you perceive to be a low risk. But each summer that heat stroke death toll will get higher. What happens when you decide you're no longer comfortable with the risk? By then we will have missed several key opportunities in reducing CO2 levels. Better to stem the tide now, no?
This only works in low humidity. Try again.
The little ice age was not an actual ice age, and it was a tiny blip on the global average temperature charts compared to where we're headed right now. Have you seen any of those charts? I have no idea how you could still claim "this is normal and has happened before" after you've seen them.

If you think this is a ploy for control, please tell me, who do you think is attempting to control who here? Because the people usually accused of that kind of thing (governments and billionaires) are the ones doing frustratingly little to admit and tackle the problem, and they are the only ones who actually could produce meaningful change.
That's the issue of your reading comprehension if anything. Like, in general, not only in this topic
What is this micro ice age you are talking about? Perhaps you could point it out on the image here? https://xkcd.com/1732/
No she didn't. Even her tweet quoted a climate scientist. Here, let me read the article you clearly didn't.
In June 2018, climate activist Greta Thunberg fired off an urgent tweet: “A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.”
Here's some context that isn't just Steve "human ballsack" Forbes complaining about something that didn't happen.
And it was BS that she propagated...
Read the context. You guys are all into "do your own research" so fucking do some!
She posted it and it didnt happen...
Can you not fucking read lmao
She posted bogus science and climate alarmists (as she is).
Are you going to repeat the same thing over and over hoping it will come true?
Are they going to keep predicting the end of the end world over and over again til it comes true?
Do you purposefully misunderstand words written to you, or do you do it involuntarily?
The report says that if we do not stop using fossil fuels over the next 5 years (note that the 5 years the time frame to stop using the fossil fuels), it would spell the end of humanity as we know it (this timeline is open, no date is set). It's a slow process mind you. First heatwaves (which we are seeing today) that make living along the equator impossible. You will notice this as a massive wave of immigration (much larger than any war has caused). Then rising food prices of course when agriculture is no longer viable in large parts of the world. Rising sea levels may not be noticabe in your part of the world (like the Nordics for example where the ground is also rising since after the last ice age) but people in the parts where it is a problem, will have to emigrate, further raising food prices and a more dense population where they immigrate.
I know thinking about long time spans is hard. Most can't imagine a time before or after their own lives. But I hope you can understand now why this is not a cliff but a slippery slope. Once we start gliding it might be almost impossible to stop it.
"The report says that if we do not stop using fossil fuels over the next 5 years (note that the 5 years the time frame to stop using the fossil fuels), it would spell the end of humanity"
Well if thats true its the end of the world and I feel fine.
Its BS, the Earth runs in cycles or we would have never had an Ice Age. Or El Nino, farmers almanacs, core sample that support the climate ebbs and flows.
Immigration has nothing to do with climate change, its people that want a better life. Its still hot here in the southern US and they still come. Good on them, we need people with that much grit in this country.
Agriculture has dropped off because it was done in area's that were suited for it for and lack of water supply (SoCal) and depleted the ground water to sustain it.
Sea rising is minimal and if it does flood the Hampton's it won't break my heart.
But the agenda wants you freaking out on something you cant change. Its like shoveling shit against the tide.
But that said I don't go out of my way to make it worse.
Even that article doesn't say that.
If you think it does, pull the quote from it that proves it instead of linking an article that you clearly didn't read.
She tweeted a lie, so there we are...
You're not literate are you? Poor thing.
So Greta has no onus on tweeting a lie? Oh yeah its (D)ifferent.
When did she say it?
Show me then. Literally all I asked for
DO A SHOT!
