I think that she's fighting a losing battle,...and not just because of us on here running a 2 stroke occasionally.

Hardest job for her will be to get her mates to give up their smart phones/tablets/Pc's/laptops/Xboxes etc etc . Probably more damaging than a few old 2 strokes Dusty

When is she going to China and India to tell them to adopt her ideology? (the ideology of those behind working the strings). Its all bollix. Best thing that they can do to make a difference is lower the birth rate and reduce the number of children being born... oh...er.. Elephant in the room alert!
It was only recent that this country was covered in ice upto a mile thick, Scotland is still rising after all that weight was removed.. by global warming 10,000 yrs ago. Swings and roundabouts. The earth will survive.. humans probably wont... they are well on the way to self destruction and that started at the very moment we became farmers,

It makes interesting reading following the shite storm that she is stirring up. Steven.

Typical tactic of those shouty ones concerned. Totally expected. Lennon once said "Just give me some truth" Guess that's something that will never happen while there is a buck to be made.

I'm apalled at some of the attitudes that I've seen on the internet on Greta Thunberg. As a young person, she has far more invested in the future of the planet than those in power. As she says, she acts the way she does because she has read and understood the science. I suspect that her detractors have not. There is a climate emergency, and it is a threat to us all, and especially to our children and grandchildren. But fixing it, saving the planet and the lives of us all living on it, will mean less money for the rich, fewer profits for shareholders. They don't like what she says, and they don't like that millions of children agree with her, they begin to feel threatened, so it comes down to personal attacks, denigration and mockery. Why jump on that bandwagon? There's nothing in it for you or your descendents exept the gradual worsening of everyones' lives.
And Yes, I do ride a two stroke sometimes, but there are not enough of them in the world to make any significant difference to anything. It's governments and the multi-national businesses that can make a difference, but they won't do it until they are forced to do so. Make fun of Greta and her followers, and you make it easier for them to go on wrecking the world, knowing that people let them get away with it. I expect some flaming on here. A 'smart' internet post is far esier than facing up to the facts. Think about your grandchildren.

The world has always been and always will be a Petri dish with humans as a bacterial bloom. We all know how that ends. Organic intelligence will be superseded by inorganic intelligence on this planet in a cosmic blink of the eye. In the meantime my plan is to just get the die grinder, raise the exhaust port by 2mm and see how that feels...

Tell us how the 2mm extra performs.

I completely respect her , thank christ for kids with attitude, the human race has raped and pillaged this planet for its own ends we are the biggest pestilence on this earth and its all backed by finance and big money men only interested in their own greed and feck everyone else. My kids and my grandkids to come need a shining light like her to try to make a difference. The world will be fine the human race not so much.

I'll take her attitude at face value. She may be manipulated but she might just be a very strong willed person. The fact she can deliver such an emotional speech in English is remarkable. I wish her well On a lighter note You need FB to view this video www.facebook.com/harald.merkl.9/videos/1370531689773344/

I, as well as most, am well aware of the problems us humans are creating for the future but.......
The problem with most of these kids protesting, is that they are just as much of the problem the way THEY live their every day lives.
How many of these kids (that could) walk to School instead of being taken one mile in a Gas guzzling 4x4 ?. I bet most around the world have air conditioned classrooms, the latest mobile phone, X-boxes, a TV in every room in the house they live, eat junk food on a regular basis ? bla bla bla.
Just slightly hypercritical (but possibly in pure ignorance)

Just slightly hypercritical (but possibly in pure ignorance) Very well regurgitated hyperbole. I took my 10yo daughter and her friends downtown for the march last Friday. We rode the public bus there and back. We walk to school and home every day. No AC in her classroom, she wishes she had a phone and vid game but Dad says no, etc. Regardless, your post shows you’ve just been duped by the right wing corporate spin machine. Congratulations!

I really don't understand why there is such a negative vibe towards her? Why grown men seem intimidated by a 16 year that is trying to stave off what the inevitable consequences are of the industrial revolution and the ever increasing search for bottom line profit and industrialisation of the planet. The kid may be evangelical so what its not us that are going to suffer the consequences its our kids our kids kids etc etc. There is ever greater disparity between those who have and those who don't and those that have don't appear to want to share with those that don't and aren't prepared to accept or understand the consequences of society as it stands today. The vast majority of the press is not independent it is owned by a few multi billionaires that want to keep the status quo and feed the masses the same old shite, the only people benefiting are the uber rich they really dont give two f**ks for me you and our ilk. If you really see her as a threat and a rambling deranged mad woman/child lets have the same conversation in 10 years time when what science is telling us becomes reality.

Hmmm, I have been following this for far longer than I should. A long time ago 20/30 years when reading about this doom and gloom and that doom and gloom thinking ah well it wont be long now then . Guess what happened . You at the back pay attention . Any body know . Crickets . Yep nothing happened . The Planet has gone through these cycles before and will continue to do so until Humans are long gone/ extinct . It /the Planet will still go through these cycles until the Sun consumes the solar system .
