    Ah, now I understand. You're admitting that Democrats can't fix the wrong direction of the country.

    So, you're going to stand in the way of any possibility of fixing the problem and blame it on leftists. Why don't you write this down so future generations in your family will know how much you cared?

    So, the Paris Agreement is something else you don't understand. No surprise.

    You mean the businesses people keep giving their money to? The businesses which only exist because we keep giving them money?

    How about we take responsibility, since it's our fault?

    On the contrary, she's actually contributed to the cynicism now impacting community interest horribly.

    When you claim to care, but never address the people actually causing the problems, it won't take long for your message to become a joke.

    Only if you actually care about the environment.

    Otherwise, keep stomping on it with your yuge footprint. But never EVER claim to care, if you do.

    The over use of the word hate has massively devalued it. I know of no one who 'hates' her, but I do know several that think she is annoying, ineffective, and a tool of the global elite. I'm sure that will look good on her resume.

    Bernie Sanders doesn't like nuclear power, but Bill Gates does.
    Why are we replacing plastic?
    Lots of folks wanting to address climate change have no clue about technology. They don't how the economy works, either. What else in news?

    What "blame" dude.

    I was pointing out that the kid was a success IN LIFE. She's done more at 19 than 99% of us at 80. Her parents
    should be applauded for raising a kid that excelled in SOMETHING rather than the fat, lazy American kids so prevalent
    today and the raised by parents stuck to a TV box.

    And she's done far more than those of us who spend idiotic hours pounding away on our keyboards yelling at the same 50 people
    the same dumb arguments that get repeated ad nauseum.

    Her parents sure as hell don't have to apologize for that.

    Well, it is ABSOLUTELY true that leftists going too woke actually did more harm than good regarding the environment. And, they also lied to everyone in implying that we could reverse climate change when the cold hard truth is the best we can do is limit the amount of increases and that no matter how much we do temps will still rise anyway. Why can't the left be honest about that? Why do they have to lie?

    Of course, there is.
    Yes, they're probably naïve to think people who write stuff like you do (see above and below) will do anything but obstruct by voting in people like this guy...

    Who says we have to eliminate all fossil fuels?

    I certainly do understand it and so did Trump. It would be the cause of more regulations on fossil fuels, costing jobs, driving some businesses out of business, increasing inflation, and making the US pay the biggest share of the bill, particularly regarding third world countries.

    Ummmmmmmmmm, yes. If you are trying to bring awareness to a problem and after you've done it for years, less people care than they did before, then that person is a failure and failed at their job. That's just a fact. I hope she's one of those idiots who said they were never going to have any children because that would be a good thing for the world.

    Let me put it in another way that you might understand. Let's say that company X hires a lobbyist to lobby for their cause in DC. After lobbying for a few years it is determined that not only was the lobbying not working, but things were worse for company X than they were before because the lobbyist was piss poor at their job. What do you think would happen to that lobbyist?

    I suppose you think covid is a hoax and that people should have ignored the impact.
    I'm not the guy with an Imaginary Friend.

    Good for you. And I'm not a Trump supporter but the lengths the democratic Gestapo are going to in order to take our democracy away is the worst threat this country has ever faced.
