Greta!

No one is triggered we just aren't accepting your frame.

Trotting out a grossly ill-informed adolescent to make histrionic, hyperbolic statements that the science doesn't even begin to backup in its most alarmist version is ridiculous. Calling out this ridiculous stunt for what it is calling out the emotional blackmail of this nonsense.

Not even Frodo believes the immediacy and dystopian nature of her portrayal of the issue, and that's saying something.
You lie with such confidence. Have you studied climate science yet?

You still haven't answered the question. Do you deny that land ice all over the world is shrinking?

Assuming that you don't deny it, how do you explain it? Are armies of Chinamen attacking it with Blowtorches (Prez claims it's all a Chinese hoax) or could it just be that temperatures are rising?

NASA does!!

NASA's Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) project has revealed Greenland’s Jakobshavn Glacier, the island’s biggest, is actually growing, at least at its edge. In research published Monday in Nature Geoscience, researchers report that since 2016, Jakobshavn’s ice has thickened slightly, thanks to relatively cool ocean waters at its base—which have caused the glacier to slow down its melt. This reverses the glacier’s 20-year trend of thinning and retreating.

There are some more about antarctic and sea ice growing on a google search.

Gee, I wonder why ComradeHeadwound didn't post the actual title of the article he was cherry-picking data from?

Must've been an oversight, he's been busy trying to keep his shitpist count up to 50+ per day.

So let's look at the article title, shall we?

I'm surprised you even bothered to respond to someone who thinks Greenland is part of Antarctica.

Oh look the socialist is still calling liberals "comrade" lol

Because I linked the whole thing.

I don't think Greenland is part of Antarctica, learn to read buddy.

You linked the whole thing, but you cherry picked the one quote in the article that supported your political bias.

The whole article discussed how about 7 percent of the Greenland icepack was growing and 93 percent of it continues to shrink.

To the surprise of no one who actually knows about your innate intellectual dishonesty, you cherry-picked the paragraph dealing with the seven percent and loftily concluded that "NASA" supports your position, when in reality the exact opposite is true, completely and conveniently discarding the bulk of the article which actually refutes your position.

When I called you out on your lie, you splutter "but...but...I linked the whole thing!" Why did you do this? Because you lack honor and integrity to own up to your own lies.

No I cherry picked a quote in the article that refutes a comment made.

It wasn't a political bias, much less my personal political bias.

You attempts at ascription and or deceptive misuse of the term notwithstanding of course.

No, I concluded that NASA refutes DeYakin's claim that ice all over the world is shrinking.

It's not.

Don't like the conclusions of science? Take it up with NASA.

When I called you out on your lie

There was no lie...and you'll never actually state or quote any lie made because you're using that word incorrectly and again, likely deceptively.

You know it, I know it, we all know it.

Better luck next time comrade. ;)

"...The figurehead for this new ploy is St. Greta Thunberg, who at a cursory glance, looks like a spoilt brat of the granola-munching, well-to-do, middle classes who’ve appointed themselves to be saviours of the very planet. You know, the type of idiots who’d do something really stupid like give a baby girl a second name of Tintin. She’s basically a well-rehearsed performing seal capable of delivering a few lines complete with accompanying gestures. But at the end of the day, she’s still a child, and when things go off script, she flounders badly, as can be seen in this live press event. Notice none of her handlers rush to her aid – I presume they were hoping she’d burst into tears or something at the unfairness of asking her a question.

The reasons she’s being pimped around the world by her handlers are multiple. You can’t criticise her because A) She’s a child. B) She’s female. C) She’s reportedly got a fashionable selection of mental illnesses, all of which means you’re not supposed to say nasty things about poor little me, but it doesn’t mean you can’t be rather pointedly be ignored. Here’s a pic of the Trumpie monster totally ignoring her and from the look on her face, really being pissed off she’s momentarily not the sole focus of attention. I’m inescapably reminded of that Longfellow poem about a little girl called Maud.

Her best line so far, delivered at a UN presser, seems to be a whine about us silly grownups depriving her of her childhood – “How dare you.” (Lean forward when you say it Greta, and show your bottom teeth just to show how weally weally angwy you are at them). While the irony of what I consider an abused child saying that isn’t lost on me, it managed to encapsulate two things that’re absolutely objectionable to me.

The first, and I say this as the usual disillusioned environmentalist who became a climate sceptic, is what an inhumane thing environmentalism managed to evolve into. If you want to talk of lost childhoods Greta, what about these children, or this child, or this child, or this child working like animals digging in the dirt, before you try to move Heaven and Earth to solve a non-problem. The second is that Greta comes from Sweden, a country hailed as having the first true feminist government which through the most noble of intentions, has become a tragic exemplar of what damage such intentions can actually wreak on the fabric of any nation. They’ve destroyed themselves by allowing themselves to be swamped by an invasion of shiftless migrants, who promptly set up no-go ghettos, roll hand grenades at any cop entering them and whose best advice to Swedish women of any age is not to go outside alone at night...


...And we’re supposed to take advice from a pubescent child of a country that decided to play a national game of Russian roulette with an automatic? How dare you?"

And Trysail continues to be obsessed with amazing outreach power of young Greta.

Damn, she really knows how to trigger the Deplorables! She got them to lay out their agenda and reveal their deep-seated resentments against the youth who will suffer from their desperate last orgy of fossil-fueled growth.

The cited article boasts about how Trump kicked her ass at the U.N. Yeah, that's right, he's really a bad-ass genius, ready to hand out ass-whoopins! Don't mess with his world view, dammit, or he'll turn his legion of blogging and tweeting goons on ya!

Right on, Greta! Keep jamming your thumb into the fragile Deplorable nerve center. As long as they keep whining and trashing you, you know they are very concerned about being exposed.
 

The climate nutters have gotten so desperate they've stooped to child abuse.

"...There was never going to be a simple endpoint, a VE day or a VJ day in the climate wars, the thing would gradually dwindle away, until a point was reached where it’d disappear completely and the whole episode of the indirect genocide of the developing world and things like pensioners freezing to death in the developed world would be carefully tippexed out of history lite.

This loss of popular interest is most apparent in younger people in their twenties, a demographic that used to be the bedrock support of the craze. It’s reached the point with them where not only are the antics of the movement ignored, but the more extreme activities are now laughed at. They have lost that demographic and the real problem with that is that the people it’s composed of will within a decade or so start to be the decision makers. Sure, a certain percentage of them have been programmed for life, but not enough of them.

In response, the scoundrel ploy is being used, which in this case is emotional manipulation by resorting to child abuse. Fanatics don’t have any moral floor they can’t drop through or even consider stopping at. They’re basically concentrating on programming the children now. It’s them who’re now being scared to death by end of world horror stories. People have actually started talking up a mental health crisis about climate amongst children, which if it actually ever came about wouldn’t be much of a surprise. When a figure in authority – any adult when you’re a child – does nothing but terrify you out of your childhood idyll by a non-stop stream of scary stories, you can expect some problems downstream..."

Poor Deplorables, now advancing the theory that Greta only represents her "handlers" and the last of the young people who are rebelling against the human contribution to climate change and the fantasy that you can have continuous growth and consumption greed on a planet with finite resources.

The writer of the cited blog says the climate change activist movement is all but over. Does TrySail ever write his own stuff?

OK, Deplorables. Play out your theory that if you discredit the lone holdout, Greta, you will soon convince the vast majority of people that everything is going to be just fine if we drill-baby-drill and ignore the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions.
 
I just spotted Greta Thurnberg through the toxic polluted smog that envelopped New Delhi today.


Greta Thunberg files UN complaint against 5 countries, including France
http://en.rfi.fr/france/20190924-gr...omplaint-against-5-countries-including-france


Oh look! India isn't on the list.

Of course, if you actually read the article you linked to you would know why. The UN complaint can only be filed against countries that have ratified "optional protocol" that allows children to file a complaint to the Committee on the Rights of the Child.

The largest polluters in the world – the United States, China and India – never ratified the protocol.

Before you have a go at me, please bear in mind that quote came straight out of the article you linked to.
 


“It turns out I’ve traveled half around the world— the wrong way.”

“Now I need to find a way to cross the Atlantic in November … If anyone could help me find transport I would be so grateful.”



-Greta Thunberg



 
Sorry I haven't kept up so this may be old news in this thread, but Greta led a number of fellow morons of high school age in Los Angeles last week in calling for the end of drilling for oil.
Imagine, if you can, life without petroleum products. It may save the planet, at least in the eyes of these half-wits, but after about 50 years precious few of us will be around to notice.
