So once again the media decides who is "more important". If I were to select a young "person of the year" who not only took actual steps towards bettering climate change, but also possessed a scientific understanding of it, I'd rather select Boyan Slat.

But we all know that Greta is much higher profile, going to garner more clicks, thus more revenue.

What a pathetic little "man". To call him a coward would be a compliment.

Do you see her as some helpless little frail girl?

And this is why I can't take a thread like this seriously. It's not really about Thunberg so much as it's about getting in that jab.

Actually I think Trump injected himself into the story of the 16 year old. For what reason ? Who knows.

The problem is that Trump feels the need to make national statements about every little thing in the news.

That isn't the problem in this thread.
 
A spoiled rotten little brat that gets to go all over the globe in her own private ship. And still isn't happy and still complains about people stealing her childhood? What did she want to go to the moon or something? she has so much more than most other kids will ever even dream of and that's not enough to make her happy. I pity her for her self-centeredness.

naming the world's most self-centered brat person of the year well that's just a sign of the times. I wish I could say it was surprising.

The whole world has beat Trump, he's the biggest laughing stock out there.

Trump is the laughingstock of the world


And this will just increase his lead over the 2nd biggest laughing stock out there. That's the best Conservative America can produce, the worlds biggest laughing stock. Quite the group of people.

The Trump campaign also though it was a good idea to make a photoshoped cover there Greta is replaced by Trump.

Trump Campaign Is Using a Photoshopped Time Cover of President's Head On Greta Thunberg to Solicit Text Signups

Also it is sad that politicians like Trump tries to make taking action on climate change into a partisan issue. That the evidence is so overwhelming that even federal agencies under Donald Trump have to acknowledge the urgent need for action.

There renewables also could bring a lot of opportunities to rural Republican areas.

Now that's funny.

I really think you guys should stop calling Trump conservative. No serious conservative refers to Trump as such. Right wing media is essentially state media, not conservative. Don't play into their hands.

I have to believe the liberals around here tune in to MSNBC from time to time. I also have to believe that these viewers have noticed the influx of conservative opinion and opinionmakers over the last three years. I'm not going to list names - tune in - but there are some very conservative people on this once almost purely liberal media outlet. None of these real conservatives support Trump. None even hint at Trump holding any sort of conservative value system. Conservative America does not support Donald Trump. Right wing America does. Conservatives, no.

Then it's sad that so many former conservatives have defected to the right wing that true conservatives are no longer a political force in this country.

You let the media decide who is more important? Why would you do that? Why would anyone in their right mind let the media decide for them who is important? I've always made those decisions myself. What are you struggling with?
Click to expand...

You must be talking to somebody else. I'm was the one pointing out that the media shouldn't be doing that (same as you), and instead offering the name of a much more significant young person. Again, whoever it was you intended your comment to (definitely doesn't apply to me), please redirect it to them.

Our poor, poor widdle President Donald "Snowflake" Trump...a little girl with aspergers is the on the cover of Time and he isn't. And it bothered him SO much that he took the time to tweet and cyber-bully the girl (hey, Melania, where are you on this one?) which led to his supporters to also make fun of her and dismiss her because whatever Trump wants his lemmings will try hard to supply.

Standing up? He got family lawyers to sue for an absurd sum. It was pathetic.

The only thng about that whole incident that was pathetic was how readily idiot leftists swallowed the bull**** they were once again spoonfed by the leftist media, and how even after the whole thing was shown to be ****ing lie, idiot leftists still clung to the lie and their hatred of a kid that literally did nothing wrong.

Pathetic...the American idiot leftist population.

Really? try viewing the comments the idiot left have been making for the last 3 years. Heck...since we are commenting on the Nick Sandmann case, look at the hate filled hate fueled comments left on THIS SITE over 16 year old kid who's only crime was trying to keep the peace between his friends and a lying piece of **** wannabe 'activist' that walked right past the group of grown men attacking teenagers only to join the fray AGAINST the teenagers. Read some of the oft repeated hatred on this site from people attacking the kid because they eagerly swallowed the lies and assorted bull**** the leftist media spoon fed them because they knew they WOULD take it without question. Look at the leftist celebrity 'adults' that literally called for the kid and his classmates to be doxxed and physically harmed.


And if you see all that stuff and still cant see the "heart full of black hate" then look at a mirror...and you might find the reason why.

There is literally ZERO deflection in that comment. You stated you cant imagine a life with heart full of black hate. I helped you imagine it.

I suspect maybe you know you were closer to 'imagining' it than you are letting on.

Greta Thunberg: TIME'''s Person of the Year 2019 | Time


Congrats to this young lady

Yes Trump was up for it
Oh yes along with Nancy Pelosi -AKA Trump Beater

I think in time she will be even a larger force regarding climate change
Click to expand...

The exploitation of a child to push a political and social agenda under the pretense of fighting climate change shows just how low the Left will go.

Time doesn't seem to have a problem with it either.

China emits nearly twice as much C02 as the US does, and C02 emissions in the US have been dropping for years and are projected to continue to fall.

So why did she address the US Congress, and why did she demand that we take action ?
For the same reason Occasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders included single payer in their New Green deal initiaves

None of this is about fighting climate change, it's about using the threat of climate change to force an agenda that's rooted in authoritarianism down out throats
