'You’re not trying hard enough. Sorry,' Greta Thunberg tells US CongressSwedish teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg on Tuesday called for action, not praise, from US lawmakers as she joined other youth leaders in kicking off two days of meetings and speeches on Washington’s Capitol Hill. Silly little manipulated hypocrit, if she’s serious she’d toddle off to China and India and peddle her tripe. This is peak leftist absurdism. The media presenting this creepy kid as some kind of moral arbiter and font of wisdom. When, in reality, she's just an empty sock-puppet being used by cynical adults who should know better. AdamBandt I am dying to see if trump gets stuck into her. I hope that he does. A 16 year old mentally challenged lecturing to US Congress. Am I reading this correctly. 🤯

The Conversation 'no longer likes scepticism' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says The Conversation “no longer likes scepticism” as the media outlet announced it will ban the publication of views it disagrees with.\n\nThe Conversation’s Editor Misha Ketchell said “Climate change deniers and those shamelessly peddling pseudoscience and misinformation, are perpetuating ideas that will ultimately destroy the planet”.\n\n“Is questioning alarmism denial? Is being realistic about our ability to shape climate forces denial? This is the triumph of emotional alarmism over fact and reason,” Mr Kenny said.\n Today the dogfucker is confused about balance and bullshitters. He conflates the desire of a site to move the climatechange debate on to banning and censorship. In the same way that you might ignore flat-earth bullshitters from an astronomical discussion. That’s official BBC policy as “ the science is settled” I.e. they know the biggest green scam ever has been rumbled. Imagine if a government banned conflicting views. Let’s burn books again.

Hundreds of thousands of students across the country set to walk out of schoolThousands of workers are also expected to take part. 9News Collectively, the farmers, who are on the frontlines of climate change impacts will remain mute, & at the same time lament over their dry fields. Astonishing. Please ask your 'journos' to interview as many of the strikers as possible and ask them to explain CC, what we need to do, how we will do it and what it will actually achieve. Facts and figures please NOT rhetoric and hyperbole Though how many are pretending to care just to get out of school?
