More importantly, the statistics she promotes to win her point are as believable as she is.
I hate it when someone lies about anything, so expecting anyone to believe that a majority of people say this or that is a gross mis-representation of the truth/facts.
There is no way anyone can say, hand-on-heart that they canvassed enough people to make such a BS statement.
People say what sounds right to avoid conflict.
This fits perfectly into this particular situation, and has no baring on the true state of people's opinions.
Just like polls.
And to top it off, I don't take to kindly to threats Foxy!

Fine, right back at ya'.

Dear mhaze,

Why are you calling her 'mentally ill'? Having Asperger's is not a mental illness. Depression is a mental illness, so is psychosis. I don't see any of that on display.

SR,

Asperger's is a socially and mentally disabling condition, which in common parlance means a mental illness. She could be on the NDIS for life if she sailed here.

She says people are dying. Where ? Who ? And that entire ecosystems are being destroyed. Where ?

The problem with hyperbole - in spite of its consolations - is that you can overdo it and destroy the possibly-correct kernel of your argument.

As for wetting ourselves about it getting hotter, let's remember that maybe a third of the world's population live in the Tropics, between 23 degrees north and south of the Equator. You know, some of our favourite tourist sites, especially for Europeans, eager to get out of the bloody cold. You know, those parts of, say, Indonesia and west Africa, where you can get two or even three crops a year ?

How are the Maldives doing ? Has a single building been washed away yet ? Is it true that some islands in the Pacific are ever-so-slightly growing in area ? Is it true that more CO2 in the atmosphere (and of course there is) mean more greening of the planet ? That every degree-rise will open up millions of hectares to farming across the northern hemisphere ?

Get a grip.

Joe

Folks,

In my previous post I made it quite clear that my information
came from an article in The Guardian.

When attempting to participate in any discussion an
imperative point to remember is to always know your topic.
It gives the element of authenticity to your opinion.

Dear Steele,

It looks like you're touching a few nerves.

Love your work!

Loudmouth,

once more, the words of wisdom.
As for some arrogant little, (I refrain from using words I should use, but as a sign of respect to you I won't) so and so, she is in a quandary.
In one hand she is eager to please her parents, grand parents, handlers, managers and so many others who have been "grooming" her for this for some years.
It can be said that she is trying to please them, and she really does not understand what she is doing or going on around her.
On the other hand she is a nasty little attention seeker who is enjoying the limelight and is milking it for all it's worth.
Either way, the evidence and statement of material facts are in now, and it is a sad fact that the people behind her are all guilty of child "grooming", all to the benefit of gains for their own ends.
As you say Joe, she gave no actual reference to gauge by, just a very "childish" and of course pathetic attempt at trying to make her points by spraying abuse and virtue shaming the UN and in fact the people of the world.
As I've said before, with a father and grandparents as actors, the only thing I would waste my time on her, is to nominate her for an oscar.
Although some have said she was "overacting".
I caution people before they become too invested or emotionally drawn into this girls antics, there is a much disturbed person behind the scenes, that tell a different story to the one she is selling.
I suggest looking into her handler, the 26 year old always within arms length of this kid, as a starting point.
