    Maybe they just didn't know or care to know much about it before their daughter did the research herself. You mean like being a teacher or a parent who has these conversations all the time.

    Kids don't think this way.

    She didn't just set down the Barbies on day and think... "I need to check on the environmental conditions of the planet".

    Nope, she was indoctrinated. Is the sole reason progressives want to push their agenda in the media and schools. They want to propagandize children to carry their torch.

    In any case, she got the information because somebody fed it to her. You can pretend that she just happened upon it and became a spokesperson for all children, but we both know that's BS.

    No, they're not.

    And no, more is not being spent via insurance.

    When adjusted for inflation dollars and the economy, they are not doing more damage.

    There is simply more to damage.

    In 1980, had Harvey hit Houston it would have impacted 1.5 million people.

    In 2018, Harvey hit 7 million people.

    It doesn't take a genius to figure out that, had the same hurricane hit Houston in 1980, there would be less damage BECAUSE THERE WERE 5.5 MILLION FEWER PEOPLE LIVING THERE.

    15 year olds are a combination between a sponge and a parrot. Nothing more, nothing less.

    What was it the subject of the OP said recently? We're at the beginning of an "extinction event"?

    I'm not the one promoting 16 year old experts. You'll need to consult a leftist for that one.

    Yes, there have been so many dramatic effects at the beginning of our current 10 year extinction event.

    She's 16. But I understand your confusion because there are many 12 year old kids who would put right-wingers to shame on their knowledge about Science.

    Yeah she could have gotten her Bachelors in those 4 years.

    How many genders are there again? Would like input from science experts.

    You realize that an extinction event doesn't mean that humans are going extinct right?

    She's not being promoted as an expert. However, I agree, we should listen to the EXPERTS for whom the 'leftists' have been arguing for a very long time.

    Oh goody. One of my favorite subjects.

    Does this mass extinction include any of the 270 species we discovered in 2018?

    What's she being promoted as.

    Which experts should we listen to. A few names will suffice.

    You said the mass extinction didn't include humans.

    What does it include. Polar bears again?

    She's an emotional appeal to get people to listen to the experts.

    Her speech wasn’t about climate change.
    It was about hysterical 16 year old alarmism not based in reality.
