16 year old child Swedish child Greta Thunberg has a rather monotonous tone and a threatening stare but that hasn't prevented her becoming the poster girl of the children's campaign to prevent ecological Armageddon or whatever they label themselves. Politicians who should know better have sat at this little madam's feet and have allowed her to spout lies ignorance and general hysteria. Like most Swedes she speaks good English and has a polite middle class accent. I presume she swam or floated on hot air to London as she couldn't in conscience fly in a foul polluting aeroplane.
In her rant she claimed no one has spoken about pollution before , there has been been no previous action to tackle pollution and that the UK is specially guilty because of the Industrial revolution! China and India who currently pollute using coal and oil get off because they are not white. No one corrected this child or queried who is behind her. She is unelected and has no academic scientific qualifications.
On Good Friday a couple of hundred middle class climate apocalyptic fanatics were allowed to close down the Dublin city centre with an illegal sit down. They all appeared well heeled and there was a distinct lack of new Irish among them , probably because they don't live in their locality.The measures they advocate will hit poorer people. Few if any of them have abandoned their huge jeeps designed to cross the rough terrain of South Dublin.
I am old enough to remember several apocalyptic warnings before that came and went. If RTE or any of our journalists did their jobs they should remind us of previous little boys and girls who falsely predicted the sky was falling down .

16 year old child Swedish child Greta Thunberg...etc... I presume she swam or floated on hot air to London as she couldn't in conscience fly in a foul polluting aeroplane. ....etc.. On Good Friday a couple of hundred middle class climate apocalyptic fanatics were allowed to close down the Dublin city centre with an illegal sit down. They all appeared well heeled and there was a distinct lack of new Irish among them...etc. . The jetsetting is the bit that always gets me about some of these Goreish activists. Your second point brings back that point people make about veganism- they reject Christian Society and then a new generation ends up trying to do things like abstain from meat and close down everything on Good Friday anyway. |

It was the hole in the ozone layer when I were a lad. My teacher when I was twelve, a hippie type, wrote a musical about the impending disaster-- I played one of the extras, a zombie-like creature with burnt skin and rags. It's extraordinary how the climate change agenda feeds snugly into the internationalist agenda of government by supranational institutions and technocrats. |

They also thrive on a constant diet of creating fear. The most well off healthiest safest people in human history are terrified of what may go wrong.
Brexit is an example.If we were living 100 years ago a Brexit scenario would already have cost hundreds of thousands of lives in conflict. We have lost all sense of historical context too in this age of emotion, rage and misplaced exaggerated fear.

I never realised Greta acted alongside Laurel and Hardy. |

Thanks to various bridges and tunnels it would appear the intrepid Greta was able to come from Sweden to London without flying. I apologise for doubting this in my original post.
As a train fan I wonder how more expensive and time consuming a train journey to Sweden compares to jumping on a Ryanair 737?

Could they not have just fired her out of one of those cannons they used to have in circuses?  |

"I find this story more convincing" lol :-)) While watching I actually for a moment came to associate the face of the babysitter to... someone named Francis (a bit of a shock to have too wild imagination at times!) No more comments on the topic because we are already fed up. |

BBC News channel has been carrying the arrival of Greta back to Europe on an expensive yacht owned by well wishers. Her arrival in Lisbon was carried live this morning . Perhaps it was a quiet news day.

This is in my own workplace.
I started composing a carol with the first line, "Gretas we have heard on high", but decided it was best to let it pass without comment.

Beautiful colour. On the less elevated general side: just a predictable choice, close to compulsory?

Looking at the above exhibit you can see why idol worship was so frowned on by the great monotheist religions. I wonder will Greta worship become compulsory?
