The naivety of teenage brats is one thing, but how about these loons?

Senior lecturer in mechanical engineering at RMIT University, Hormoz Marzbani, advised his students that they could go on the climate change rampage on public streets instead of attending lectures and still receive full marks for the day's assessment.

All the students had to do was mail selfies of themselves in the mob to him.

John Prins, professor and head of the medical school, wrote to students saying they were “encouraged to consider joining with staff” at the climate strike.

I have proven my point that a young woman pointing
out unpleasant truths and asking officials to step up
and take steps to save the planet is exceptionally triggering
to older white men on the right. And once again - boy -
are they flailing in their attempts to respond.

"Not true!, All lies!, No influence!" And so it goes.

Sound familiar?

You betcha.

In the meantime Greta Thunberg has influenced the political
landscape in Austria, Germany, and Europe - and we'll see
as time goes by - where else.

Well done.

Austria, Germany, and Europe
FGoxy,
I'd say the iphone armed invaders from the Middle east had a lot more success in changing the political landscape there. How do you think young Greta would fare strutting her hype among a mob of religious fanatics? Do you think they'd take notice of this little brainwashed infidel ?
After all, their doctrine doesn't even mention the environment.

Dear Individual,

I think that countries like Indonesia, Pakistan,
Nigeria, Bangladash, India, whose populations have
increased greatly from 2000 - to 2019, and the
total world population is predicted at being over
9 billion and rising by 2050 - will whether they like
it or not have to do something to maintain sustainability.

That's the reality - that awaits us all.
Sooner or later we shall all have to face it.

'contender for the Nobel Prize'

Why didn't I see that coming?

Greta Thunberg doesn't mean anything to me.
She's just there to build a 'narrative', so they come along next week and say they have 'consensus'.
I see through their social engineering bs.
I won't save me from you lot though.

I didn't know our nations policy's were decided by mentally challenged kids...
Oh damn I forgot, that's what those people in parliament are.
- And some of you lot aren't far behind

Well that certainly would be a red-letter day on this site. But sadly Foxy the proof is more in your head than in reality.

""Not true!, All lies!, No influence!" And so it goes."

Who said that? Truly Foxy who said that? When you have to create strawman arguments its proof that you've blown it.

Answer me this Foxy. What did Greta say that you found illuminatory? What new facts did she bring? What new insights? What did she say that hasn't been said 100 times by 100 different alarmists and we're-all-gunna-die aficionados? What did she say that made you swoon? Why should we care if some kid regurgitates something that been said over and over by others. Is it just that she said it in a stern voice? Perhaps a psychologist I read who said that her tantrum allowed adults to vent their anger vicariously while still pretending to be adults, was right.

In the end the kid's outburst adds nothing to issue except to expose the lengths to which the climate carpet-baggers are prepared to go to achieve their aims.

I see the incident as an insight into the human condition. The same impulses that led to the Children's Crusade apply today. As thinking beings we've not progressed one iota in 1000 yrs.

Oh and I still worry about the future health of the poor kid.
