Swedish Cyborg

There's a little twit running around Europe these days freaking out about "climate change". I am referring to the Swedish child Greta Thunburg, who has the elite and other schoolchildren her age (15) enthralled with her vast knowledge of all things concerning weather and our world at large. One French philosopher (Michele Onfray) however apparently isn't so enthralled with the little dynamo.

As reported in Breitbart he recently said: “This girl has a cyborg face that ignores emotion — no smile, no laugh, no astonishment, no amazement, no pain, no joy. It makes think of these silicone dolls that announce the end of the human and the advent of the posthuman"

“It has the face, the age, the sex, and the body of a cyborg of the third millennium: its envelope is neutral. It is unfortunately what mankind is heading to,” he said and added: “What soul lives in this body without flesh? It’s hard to know.”

Onfray also raised his ire against the politicians and others who fawn around the young Swede saying that the worst thing “is in adults who enjoy being humiliated by one of their creatures”.

National Rally MEP (Member of the European Parliament) Jordan Baredella went even further saying: “This dictatorship of permanent emotion, moreover when it is based on children, is a new form of totalitarianism. It is beyond ridiculous".Greta-640x480.png

Attack the messenger when you don't like the message.

The unbelieving Pharisees told Jesus to silence the children.

Even the Arctic is heating up & forests catching fire.

We older folk can survive a few hot summers, but will our children & their children?

How does this girl know that all of this "climate change" is because of man's actions which is the reason she is claiming? People are fawning all over her for no apparent reason except that she is this child in pigtails. She has no scientific credentials, no expertise in this field at all. Her only ability lies in using emotion to achieve what she desires.

Now for some reason, few people want to look at: A. The Sun. and B. The shifting of our poles. Yes, there has been a lot of activity with the sun in the past few years, and yes, it has been determined that our poles are indeed actually shifting from their present positions of axis.

Perhaps these are the reasons for all these climate fluctuations of late and if so there is nothing that man can do about it. We cannot forget that some of the things these "man made climate change" folks are after is ever more powerful governments and the redistribution of money. Some of the people in the "man made climate change" crowd are in line to make themselves a lot of cash over the issue, with our own former VP Al Gore as the perfect example of this with his buying and selling of carbon credits.

If you are so concerned about your children and grandchildren you should focus on the tremendous debt that we are placing upon them.

Now that is something we can actually do something about!

Wildfires in another country must be a big concern to the UK. Why not let the rich Germans handle it?

Extinguishing fires is not a solution to the increasing occurrence.

"Exceptional" wildfires, droughts, tropical storms, rising sea levels, famines, water shortages, etc, should be of concern to us all. We all have a global economy. Doesn't America have a problem also?

Selfish action, bombing cities & infrastructure, all add to the the pressure on populations to emigrate to seek stability. Temperature rise resulting in melting glaciers is a scientific observation. Denying that the use of fossil fuels is a contributing factor is not scientific.

100 years ago the North West Passage was impassable. Now you can book a luxury cruise.

Our problem is that the wackos will not allow clearimg of brush and proper management of the forests. The Dems say burn baby burn.

Note that Sweden, Russia, and Germany were all cozy during WW II.

according to progressive global warming theory the earth is heating up because the sun is getting larger.

That makes no sense because everything is running down. The sun will turn into a red star in five billion years and engulf earth in flames. Of course, the UN will stop that.

it makes sense - you just said why - our sun will turn into a red giant before it super novas engulfing the earth burning the earth to a crisp and then collapsing.

it shows that progressives can't make up their mind. either global warming is caused by man or its happening in the sun beyond his control.

So do you think that they are talking about the impending death of the sun when they say that it is getting larger? I thought we had millions and millions of years to go. Actually, I thought that sun spots caused the warming and there haven't been many of those for a long time so there is no global warming of any note. I mean Greenland no longer is green.

They are using this girl to shield themselves. She obviously knows nothing. She's just a tool. They know that gullible people will take up for her, accuse others of picking on a little girl.

It is appropriate to attack their methods in this. The problem is not the ignorant girl herself, but their using her for their political gain. They use minorities this way as well. It's a favorite leftist-progressive tactic. Don't fall for it.

You don't like the message - shoot the messenger. Is this a Biblical attitude? Unhappily it is. As Stephen said -
Acts 7:52 Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him—

The conversation with John is instructive -
John 1:19 Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders[fn] in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 20 He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.”
21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”
He said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”
He answered, “No.”
22 Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’ ”
24 Now the Pharisees who had been sent 25 questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know. 27 He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”

They were question his authority, so they could reject his message.

Greta obviously has little personal knowledge & authority, but she has heard & believed a message that is supported by vast numbers of scientists & 100 years of data. Dismissing her message by the "cyborg" insult tells us for more about those who reject the message than about a real living teenager.

She's not an inspired prophet but her warning is valid.

it makes sense - you just said why - our sun will turn into a red giant before it super novas engulfing the earth burning the earth to a crisp and then collapsing.

it shows that progressives can't make up their mind. either global warming is caused by man or its happening in the sun beyond his control.

More likely both natural events and man's activity.

We have the warning - surely we should act on it. Read how Pharoah reacted to God's warning of a time of plenty followed by a time of scarcity. And how prophetic warnings were consistently ignored by Israel.

It's Biblical to be "leftist-progressive." The resultant "political gain" is beneficial to the people in general, rather than those "rightist-capitalists" concerned only for their own profits.
Neh. 5:9 So I continued, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our Gentile enemies? 10 I and my brothers and my men are also lending the people money and grain. But let us stop charging interest! 11 Give back to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves and houses, and also the interest you are charging them—one percent of the money, grain, new wine and olive oil.”

Jeremy Corbyn is not a Christian but a "leftist-progressive." His slogan is, "for the many, not the few." Any political gain he gets will benefit the British people, especially the poor, homeless, aged & sick. Money taxed from the rich will not make the rich significantly poorer. They are giving from their wealth. (Mat. 12:41-44)

You do realize that when one volcano blows intense amounts of bad stuff is released into the air, right? It is our Creator who should be worshipped, not the created.

:rolleyes: That response ignores what was said or is a defense of “the ends justifies the means,” which is a typical leftist-progressive attitude, but hardly biblical.
