When I saw "Greta Thunberg" in the subject line, I had forgotten who that was until I clicked on the video...
How fleeting fame...

Actually I think it may have something to do with the non-stop hurricane of Trump scandal news coming down day in and day out the past few weeks taking up most of the news space in my brain...
Greta's UN appearance seems like years ago...

Has she worked out how to get home yet?
She got there in a millionaires yatch, made of hydrocarbons, with a diesel back up motor, so obviously she'll want to be equally green on her return home.

So how are you getting home Greta? Eco-warrior will overland travel to Chile for a December UN summit while crew that sailed her to the US FLY back across the AtlanticGob wrote:Has she worked out how to get home yet?

A zero carbon footprint obviously will need some really special orthopedic shoes.

What's she supposed to do — build herself a balsa-wood boat or papyrus reed raft like Thor Heyerdahl?RayThom wrote:So how are you getting home Greta?

I don't think ANYONE is calling for the full and complete elimination of the use of hydrocarbons (i.e., fossil fuels) in any and all applications, but let's face it ... it is a demonstrably finite resource so it only makes sense to start using it sparingly, wisely, and to explore other alternatives — even nuclear. When you consider that we went from 'flying' less than the length of a football field in a glorified box kite to putting men on the moon in less than seventy years, I believe that shows that we've got the smarts to figure out safer, better, and practical ways of dealing with an issue such as disposal of spent nuclear fuel components.
Any benefits with regard to greenhouse gases and slowing of climate change is just gravy on the potatoes.

Admit that she has no answers to the global warming problem, (apart from "we must protest" that is,) and realise that most people don't have many options on using planes etc...Bicycle Bill wrote: What's she supposed to do — build herself a balsa-wood boat or papyrus reed raft like Thor Heyerdahl?

She's never pretended to have the solutions, she's a child pleading for the grownups to stop being selfish shits and start doing something about AGW and CC. She's asking us to listen to the scientists, who most definitely have proposed functional solutions - and yes, among them is to reduce air travel substantially, something that absolutely IS possible. It does require a lot less selfishness from grownups, many of whom apparently don't care one bit for their children's and grandchildren's futures.

Still stuck there is she?
The problem being that this poor lass, one with the "superpower" of autism, has been thrust into the media spotlight by people, without any real thought as to who, why,what, when and how.
She's become the poster girl for the "extinction rebellion brigade", without having anything to offer, or any substance.
I blame the parents.

A newly-discovered species of beetle has been named after young climate activist Greta Thunberg.
Nelloptodes gretae bears little resemblance to its namesake - it is less than 1mm long, and has no wings or eyes.
The insect does, however, have two long pigtail-like antennae.
Scientist Dr Michael Darby said he chose the name because he was "immensely impressed" by the Swedish teenager's environmental campaigning.
N. gretae was first found in Kenya in the 1960s by William Block, who donated his samples to the Natural History Museum in London in 1978. It has been held in one of the museum's collections since.
Dr Darby was studying this collection when he came across the then-nameless species.
