Understanding the Greta Effect : Comments

By Mal Fletcher, published 2/10/2019

The Greta Thunberg effect is, like most large-scale movements, partly a result of the right person and the right cause converging at the right time.

she has rallied millions around the globe.
Foxy,
When she can do that by convincing people to curb their excesses, particularly the uneconomic academic elite then I might get interested.

MEDIA ALERT...CND NUCLEAR WARNING.... hide under the table/bed/ closet under the stairs

Putin has just criticised Greta the untouchable angel/saint/"Jesus Christ" (according to CNN) sent os us from GAIA to flagellate us all. As we said in Belfast during the troubles, once the Dutch,German French and BBC journos booked into the Europa Hotel (one and only 5star hotel in Belfast in he 1960/70's) Stay and home and watch the TV... cos when they arrived, we were all into a "reality Tv show" before that term was even a twinkle in a Gen-Y-X producers eye!

Putin must be feeling attention deficit disorder in the media bubble. Please PM Putin, don't hand these cultists a "hostage to fortune"

My partner "sees" dead people, but then again she works for the Coroner. Greta Thunderpants "sees CO2" & unfortunately she is yet another stooge for the alarmists scamming more $ off the unsuspecting fools who listen to her Henny Penny rantings. More rare species of avians daily being clobbered into extinction by wind turbine blades across Europe, Asia, USA & here in Oz...but once again green...sorry did I say greed ? is good, especially when you can effectively brainwash & fool a whole generation of young impressionable minds with propaganda. Hitler, Goering & Goebells would be cheering! Pity she wasn't of the calibre of Anne Franks circa WW2. David Bellamy sacked from various conservation groups he formerly headed because he doesn't subscribe to the new regimes dogma. Funny though how several mates of mine from Army days at ANARE are now sending high res images of "unusually thick pack ice" in Antarctic waters. Hmmm - a bit like DePont de Nemours funding the research into holes in the ozone layer when they knew their patents on the CFC/Halogen family of refrigerant gases were coming up. Et viola we had the newer HCFC's then more recently the ones based on butane/propane mixture. Nothing new here...move along, nothing to see.

How did Greta get to the UN?

Surely not in one of those fossil fuel gulping jet airliners, spewing pollution in the sky.

Dear Alison Jane ,

You extol people to “spend some time reading the science”. I have and that science says that CO2 is a significant greenhouse gas and that by increasing its concentration we are warming the planet.

So what science have you read that allows you to ignore the physical properties of CO2 in order to accept that increasing the concentration of this significant green house gas by a third has had no impact on global temperatures?
