^ LOL Thank you for pointing out what is probably a widespread reaction in the corridors of power.

And yes, Jakarta, New Orleans and Florida are all at high risk of catastrophic flooding; at first periodically, then regularly, then continuously and then permanently
I’m liking climate change a little more everyday tbh

Bro, if you live underwater then you never have to wash your feces out of your sheets ever again.

^ Sorry, but that's right over my head I'm afraid.

Something I did understand was Greta's dislike of bumping into Trump in the lobby at the UN Climate Summit:

Here's a clip of the same event, in which, if you feel inclined, you can catch Mike Pompeo with an adoring, sycophantic grin even more nauseating than the one that VP Pence habitually wears:-



"Bye Greta!" "Have a cool day, Greta!"

16 or 60 you either confront overpopulation or you’re not an environmentalist. Where’s her pledge to never breed? Where’s her chastisement of breeders? If she wants to make a statement she should have herself sterilized. Everything else is bull****.

^ Some people might call that a very harsh and extreme judgement on a 16-year-old who has done more than her fair share to highlight our environmental crisis - and if any people did call it that, I'm afraid I'd agree with them, OH, regardless of any loyalty I feel for you. Sorry!

I have no patience for pseudo-environmentalism that ignores the cause for political expediency.

I'm less concerned by some eye rolling "no breeding" pledge and more annoyed that she isn't using her massive platform (and media exposure) to get funding and attention to people who are actually creating solutions to our environmental problems. I've watched her speak and she doesn't say anything remotely compelling that some other 16 year old isn't already saying somewhere out there on the Internet.

We'd already have cost effective bacteria spreads that could eat up all the plastic in our oceans and landfills and baddass space mirrors if she (along with AOC and the other social media LibStars) actually highlighted those organizations and get some eyeballs on them.
