Back at the United Nations Climate Summit in September Greta and "The Don" had a casual encounter...
On September 23rd, 2019, climate activist Greta Thunberg delivered a speech before the U.N. climate summit.
During the event, President Trump passed through the summit on his way to a U.N. summit on religious freedom.
As he passed Thunberg, cameras captured Thunberg glaring at Trump...
Well said, fgv!
Every now and then I had to make some sarcastic remarks about climate change, "dwindling" polar bears (pop. approx. 30-50,000) being a plague in Northern Canada, "peak oil" that didn't emerge, wind turbines killing birds and insects, usually all in vain. Or may be I was so vain to believe that I was called to turn people around and "set them free..."
Even my favorite remark: "CO2 is a religion" hasn't won me many friends. None at all to be honest.
Here in Germany most people are falling for the CO2 catastrophy narrative hook, line and sinker.
But I think they are tiring of the "Greta" story, her self-righteous invocations, her image of a troubled child (easy to look away from) that is inducing them to feel even more guilt in their lives.
BTW
Will I have to pay a fine for having incurred three 👎 just because of Greta?

I have learned to temper my position and remember that the passionate, angry alarmists are NOT asking for help, they are NOT asking me or anybody else to help them find the truth. No, they are being true authoritarian followers and vigorously defending the beliefs they have been fed and attacking anybody who deviates from official doctrine. Trying to force my views on them is as STS as it comes so I am learning to walk away.
