Climate strikes spread worldwide as students call for action

[h=1]Greta’s Famous Last Words[/h]Posted on 09 May 19 by GEOFF CHAMBERS • 2 Comments
Greta Thunberg has the longest single intervention in the BBC documentary “Climate Change.. the Facts,” and it has pride of place as the last item, just before Attenborough’s summing up. For those who don’t read every comment under every article, here’s a summary of what I know about her: Greta’s mother is an opera singer, and a … Continue reading →

Greta babbles,

When I was younger, [!] I had lots of plans of becoming different things, everything from an actor to a scientist. But then my teachers in school told me about climate change. That was sort of an eye opener to me. The more I read about it, the more I understood how dangerous it was for everyone. I stopped going to school…

… It happened so fast. It is amazing that tens of thousands of children all around the world have done the same thing as I did… saying “why should we go to school, if there’s no future?”And “why should we learn facts when the most important facts don’t matter?”

This is the typical unfounded pessimism warmists employ, she is clearly lacking in critical thinking skills. In time she will go though a realization that she wasted a part of her childhood over a bogus narrative that are mostly in the realm of the Media, with a few well payed warmist scientists scientists thrown in.

The difference is that they are using peer reviewed science as the basis for their articles.

There those sources often also have direct link to this study. Also direct figures like for example percent electic cars sold would be very easy to refute if it their anything wrong with them.

Something the deniers havn't been able to do. That can't also not provide any scientifc report for why the refuse to believe the overwhelming evidence of manmade global warming. Or even agree among themself if global temperatures are increasing or decreasing. Or what factors causes climate change.

While You, I and many other posters have provided links to many scientifc studies that show the overhwhelming evidence for manmade global warming and it's devasting effects. Like for example this reports.

Even if that were true, which is questionable, that does not make a Guardian article the same as peer reviewed.
 
Saturday Silliness: Who is behind sad Greta Thunberg?

As many WUWT readers know, child climate crusader Greta Thunberg always seems to have a sad frown on her face: Josh thinks he’s found the real reason behind the frown. Shame on the PR company behind Greta for taking away her childhood. We know it here at WUWT as “the green blob”…

There will be a new global climate action on May 24 with millions of participants all across the world.

Map - FridaysForFuture

The global climate movement is also gaining more and more influence all across the world. For example that Ireland have now also declared a climate emergency.

While the denier are a smaller and smaller minority so the denir propagnda is getting more and more extreme.

What scientifc studies do you have to refute those findings?[/QUOTE]

How about actual science papers instead of thesis type material that cherry picks what suits the agenda? You guys seem not to understand what peer reviewed papers are.

It is funny that you deneirs on one hand claim that you can't trust the world's leading scientists because there are part of some elite with their own agenda. While on the other hand you claim that you can't trust the people because according to you they seldom make the right decisions. While at the same time you and other deniers don't have any facts to back up your beleifs that you know better than anybody else.

Here is an interesting article about the psychology behind climate change denialism.

Follow the money. There's lots of it to be made by telling the lemmings that the world is going to end.

Climate change industry grows rich from hysteria

How big is the climate change industrial complex today? Surprisingly, no one seems to be keeping track of all the channels of funding. A few years ago, Forbes magazine went through the federal budget and estimated about $150 billion in spending on climate change and green energy subsidies during President Obama’s first term.

That didn’t include the tax subsidies that provide a 30 percent tax credit for wind and solar power — so add to those numbers about $8 billion to $10 billion a year. Then add billions more in costs attributable to the 29 states with renewable energy mandates that require utilities to buy expensive “green” energy.

Worldwide the numbers are gargantuan. Five years ago, a leftist group called the Climate Policy Initiative issued a study that found that “global investment in climate change” reached $359 billion that year. Then to give you a sense of how money-hungry these planet-saviors are, the CPI moaned that this spending “falls far short of what’s needed,” a number estimated at $5 trillion.

Why are you a chronic liar?

I repeatedly correct you guys that it is very few scientists who make such claims. It is the pundits you guys listen to that lie about what the scientists say.

You are a denier of science. You don't read the actual papers and let unethical journalists and bloggers tell you what to believe. Money talks. Follow the money when some bureaucratic head is saying something.

I demand that you stop lying about what I say!

Oh, stop lying Lord!!

You love to claim that the pundits lie about what the scientists say but you almost never actually back up that assertion with any proof.

That is actually a common complaint about you. You make all kinds of accusations and make lots of claims about what you believe about the science but the number of times that you actually prove or even provide some peer-reviewed science to back you up is almost non-existent.

Want to prove me wrong? Then show us all some examples of you doing what you claim you do. I'll bet you have a hard time coming up with anything at all. Chances are you will decline to back yourself up claiming you don't have the time or that it is everyone else's responsibility to prove you wrong.

OK, Show me a list of scientists that speak out on AGW. You guys are making the assertion. Until then, stop lying about my position.

Once again the Left, harnessing the least experienced and informed as "Useful Idiots" to gain money and political power from actual productive people.

The evidence of manmade global warming is overwhelming.

Fifth Assessment Report — IPCC

There even federal agencies like NASA under Donald Trump acknowledge the urgent need for action.

While the deniers can't even agree on if global temperature are increasing or decreasing or provide sources for their claims.

You will always have die hard deniers like Lord of Planar. While the positive is that they are becomning a smaller and smaller minority and more and more people both in the US and globally are acknowledging the urgent need for action.

While at the same time there are many ways to fight inaction on climate change.

Greta Thunberg also show that it possible to make your voice heard and make an impact. That she have in less than a year gone from striking alone outside the Swedish parlament to inspiring millions of people to take action on climate change.

Do you understand that there in no empirical evidence of manmade global warming in ether of those reports.
If you think there is, you need to cite the specific paragraph.

They wouldn't know how to find a paragraph that explicitly says what they believe.
