Can people please stop attacking *and* deifying Greta Thunberg. She’s a vulnerable 16yr old with Asperger’s who’s terrified her world is about to end. Don’t be cross with her, be bloody furious with the adults who’ve told her those lies and are using her for their political aims.

David Attenborough, Mark Carney of the Bank of England, the Governor of the Banque De France, Black Rock , Legal & General ( major financial institutions) are all expressing concerns about the same thing as GT. So they too, all don't know what they're talking about ?
-
U. N. 1990 report on Climate, same doomsday warnings, yes we should reduce pollution but go tell the Chinese, Indians, Russians and Yanks!
-
Agree Chinese are the biggest co2 producer –but they also lead the field in renewable energy capacity. For US blame Trump & his attitude to the Paris Climate Accord. Russia & India regret unable to comment.

Ah so because she’s 16 she doesn’t know what she’s talking about ? Sadly she’s talking sense about what yours and my generation have done in ignoring tipping points which have been known about for decades !
-
The world will be little different in 11 years Mike. Put that on your fridge
Yes we should live cleaner, but the doomsday stuff is tripe. -
I think that’s the point .. that by the end of my grandchildren’s generation the effects will be noticeable, and to a reasonable extent irreversible because this generation won’t act fast enough .. but there will be a lot of handwringing at some point in the next 50 yrs

As a forester , in my career we saw climate shift and changed proveniences to ones in warmer latitudes to maximize the extending growing season

Strange views on young people - when people offer them a platform
#JuliaHeartlessBrewer says they don't know their own mind. When they beg to come home to save a baby - same woman says SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING! Which is it do young people understand their actions or not?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Could you point out something she has said which is incorrect? Then we can fact check instead of just insinuate.

Over a decade ago people was told the polar ice caps were melting and rising sea levels would affect costal towns within a decade. It didn’t happen. Now “Science” is saying ice is increasing. I’m looking at the science, So which is it?https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasa-study-mass-gains-of-antarctic-ice-sheet-greater-than-losses …

Maybe someone from the climate change brigade can tell me what’s causing climate change on Mars. There’s nobody burning fossil fuels there… https://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/research/2007/marswarming.html …
-
No one, that is NO ONE, says climates are static. The climate on Earth has never been static. However, humans are at present changing the Earth's climate. Other forces are also changing the climate. At present humans are the agents causing the most rapid and profound changes.
-
And I too would never disagree that there’s some impact. But I would say that it has somewhat been blown out of proportion by a few people.
-
So the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community is 'a few people'? The proportions have not been blown out. If anything the opposite is true. And why did you mention Mars? A changing climate on Mars neither proves nor disproves AGW. It only proves climates change.
-
I mention warming on Mars to highlight that there are other factors to consider as well, as not only is the earth getting warmer.
-
Of course it's happened before. No one is saying otherwise. The difference is that now humans are causing it and this will make Earth a difficult if not impossible place for our children. It's already causing problems. Arrogant? No, in this case I'm simply right. I wish I wasn't

Not knowing what she’s talking about and shouldn’t be treated like the messiah is exactly how some of us feel about you.
-
You spelt "most" wrong. Apart from that, I fully agree.
