    If the VERY PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE CONCERNED, aren't even worried enough to give up their little sins, then we can safely conclude there isn't really a problem. Either that or they're selfish, lazy, children .. demanding that Govt 'make them' behave. Or better yet, demand that someone else fix it so they don't have to. Which is it?

    You can worry about that stuff.

    It's rather obvious some form of compulsion may be necessary.

    Where's the part about passing it along to consumers as higher prices?

    What's your explanation (to yourself) as to why those who claim to care about the planet, live lifestyles that guarantee it'll die young?

    And more importantly, which is it?

    They're dirty lazy liars?

    or there's really nothing to worry about?

    Depends on the person.

    I have friends who think the cause is hopeless and gave up.

    Some folks don't care because they'll be dead before it gets really bad. Some folks are convinced climate change is a "hoax." Some folks are too dumb to figure things out.

    I'm not asking about people in general .. ONLY those who consider themselves concerned about climate change, and who want 'action'.

    When climate activists do nothing .. what is your explanation.

    That maybe there is no climate change, since those who say they care are living as though there's no problem?

    Or that the above people are just full of sh!t?

    That's just another way of keeping their bottom line where they like :)

    According to some Climate Culties, she's accomplished the incredible feat of convincing them that her mental disability is some sort of "super power". :lol:

    Actually, they are shamefully using her mental disability to further their leftist agenda.

    Funny, that sounds a lot like "Socialism for thee but not for me"...

    True, and as you pointed out in the OP, shamelessly exploiting a mentally disabled child hasn't been a particularly effective marketing strategy for Climate Commies.

    Evidently, they don't realize that the message they're sending is that the "crisis" they're peddling is for retards, proving once again that introspection and self-awareness aren't "progressive" traits. :razz:

    I also find it interesting that they claim many on the right are science deniers while they deny the science presented by 1200 scientists who are experts in the field. So, who are the science deniers?

    The people who tell us Bruce Jenner is a chick?

    Of course, this is not the first time people set themselves the task of intentionally changing the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years. Karl Marx and his ideological progeny have been trying to do that since the mid-19th Century....

    They can't pass along personal income taxes.

    The OP asks what Greta Thunberg has accomplished. Evidently, according to several different sources, one of which is here: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8918369/greta-thunberg-climate-change-activist/ , she has amassed a net worth of approximately $1,000,000 (at today's rate = €1,002,252.82).

    Her education appears to consist of little or nothing of any consequence but attendance at a school called "Franska Skolan" (English: French School), which is a private school located in Stockholm, Sweden.

    Not bad at all for 19 year-old with no formal education, but who has written a book, led protests, held rallies, etc. -- and all while never holding a 'regular' job. She has appeared to have instead mastered a kind of trendy "Pied Piper" act, and it is paying off nicely for her! :angel:

    So i guess the answer to the question is "quite a bit".

    Yes, indeed! Most uneducated Gen-Z people with no job just sit around and bitch about everything -- including what they believe is wrong with 'the climate', while proclaiming loudly that it is all the fault of mankind.

    Greta Thunberg, however, has made a personal 'cottage-industry' and cult personality out of herself -- and now she's become a millionaire! You've got to take your hat off to someone as enterprising as that!

    Yea, she is certainly ahead of where people like Ben Shapiro was at her age.

    I didn't recognize the name, so I looked it up. Now I realize that he's that odd fellow you hear on radio with that rapid-fire, monotone delivery (which I honestly don't care much for, being more of a William F. Buckley, Jr. fan myself). Anyway, Shapiro's sort of the polar opposite of Thunberg, but, as a 38 year-old Millennial, his net worth is supposed to be $48 million bucks.... Oy Gevalt! :eyepopping:
