    St. Greta of Thornburg arrived here the other day to help save us from ourselves. Arriving on a solar powered yacht which polluted the earth immmensely during it's construction, the irritating teenager from Europe has come to offer her great insight to all things climate to us peons on the North American continent. In a video by a man named Tony Heller, he pointed out that:

    “Greta will go to the UN next week and read a speech which was carefully prepared for her by some of the world’s leading propagandists.”

    “She will say that children of her generation face a terrible future of heat, famine, disease and every other imaginable natural disaster. Basically, she will describe a life which is the exact opposite of the charmed life that she is living. And her prophecies of doom will be described by the press as a magnet for hope. Her message of hope will be that if we simply lower carbon dioxide levels to those of the pre-industrial era everything will be fine…”

    Oh thank you St. Greta for honoring us with your presence and you vast intellectual insight!

    I just hope that the oceans don't rise so much that the Obama $15 million mansion on the beach at Martha's Vineyard is flooded. Maybe the little girl will be staying with the Obamas. Does she know that pigtails are too Eva Braun?

    They are having to fly two crew members here from Europe for the return voyage. How does that work out for the carbon footprint?

    Oh no! Plus our little Greta is breathing, expelling her carbon poison into the air.

    She's not too smart if she thinks that the UN is important. The USA funds it but many Americans want us out of the UN and the UN out of the USA. Maybe Greta the Red should insist that the UN is too important to be in NYC and should be moved to Sweden so Europeans wouldn't spend so much gasoline getting there. Why would a 16 year old know anything about world climate? Why do the greens/communists need a publicity stunt from a teenage girl? Next, she should tell the Russians to stop drilling oil and selling it.

    I'd hold back criticism though of a child. Ultimately she's being used by people with an agenda to create an effect....as in like a little child will lead them.

    Just a scam and a publicity stunt really for their cause. Those who are adults orchestrating this should feel ashamed.

    Science cannot show that there is global warming. So politicians resort to publicity stunts such as the one at the UN with this truant, as she is being called. I doubt if Islam is listening to this female whom they think is past due to be married as they themselves exist off the pumping of oil and the growing and distribution of narcotics and the waging of war, which also needs gasoline. So who is going to be the first to give up rapid travel and heating and cooling to lead a third-world existence? Certainly, not the rich who think that they are better and certainly not the middle class who reject socialism/communism. So it seems that the lack of development that perplexes South America, Africa, and much of Asia will continue to satisfy the thirst for power by the left. I would like to see the child or adult who could debate David Berlinski on this subject.

    If the weather is getting worse, as in a biblical scale of constant disasters, then carbon emissions will mean a whole lot less than repentance and prayer on a societal scale.

    Quite hypothetical that the weather is getting worse in a biblical scale of constant disasters since there is no scientific evidence and the UN is trotting out children who are skipping school in order to make their case through absurd publicity stunts. Where are the demands that the Arab world stop drilling for oil? It turns out that before socialist/communist countries such as Cuba and Venezuela used candles for light, they used to have electricity and electric lights. Air conditioning, which the Catholic Pope dislikes, actually saves lives that otherwise would be lost to heat exhaustion, the lives often of the very old and the very young. Heating also saves lives and hot water makes life more sanitary and helps defeat disease. The use of gasoline vehicles gives us not only private transportation to work but also provides rapid police protection, fire suppression, and ambulance service. Minor children should be in school and not in UN theatrics until science can provide some evidence that carbon emissions are bad and harmful instead of good in that they are necessary for abundant plant life. There is not one iota of scientific evidence that carbon dioxide is bad.

    I was not referring to science, I honestly haven't looked into the science of the issue myself.

    I don't agree with the using little kids to guilt trip us, and bring up an entire generation that hates their elders for generating electricity and driving cars. A generation hooked on such "wicked" things as cotton clothes, scented soap, hamburgers, shampoo, and much more. BBC World News has a special I watch that horrifies me. They do a makeover of a person's life to get them to less of a "carbon footprint." You would not believe the suggestions.

    My point is that if we are being brought to our knees by nature, then there is one recourse: the Gospel, repentance, and prayer.

    "My point is that if we are being brought to our knees by nature, then there is one recourse: the Gospel, repentance, and prayer."

    There has been no increase in temperature for about 15 years according to Berlinski, who says that climate scientists are not doing good work because they are mediocrities. Another evidence that the oceans are not rising is that the Obamas brought a $15 million mansion on the beach at Martha's Vineyard.

    Do you think that we are being brought to our knees by nature?

    Many think that explosions on the sun and planetary magnetic pull on the sun influence tides on the sun and thus the temperatures on earth's surface. Here is a video explaining it all:

    I see your points. I may be biased since I live in Florida and things get biblical down here and across the south due to hurricanes. Has been that way since 2004. The rest of the country may be doing great, though I doubt that given the nightly news and friends in the Midwest. Still I may be reading too much into things. I Don't have a good dataset for a country this large. Let alone, the world.

    Of course not. The data does not go back very far in time, perhaps 150 years or so. The earth is 6,000 years old and has been through a catastrophic worldwide flood 4300 years ago followed by an Ice Age of 700 years that covered a third of the world. Maybe some of the ice from 3600 years ago is shrinking slightly, but we don't have very good scientists working on the problem. The real issue is sun spots and the effect of the gravity of earth, Venus and Jupiter when aligned on the tides within the hydrogen fires of the sun. Aftercall, God cursed the universe 6,000 years ago and that curse is ongoing and affects people, animals, plants, and galaxies.

    Oh, the left just likes to trot out kids they've brainwashed because when the message is criticized, they can accuse you of being mean to a child. The gun control brats were annoying, and it backfired that time. but this Greta kid is being exploited beyond belief, so it's not so funny to me. She has OCD, Asperger's, eating disorders, thinks she can see carbon atoms and STILL throw her into the spotlight, since who I going to criticize a kid like that?

    Her parents are both a couple of actors and opera singers, they are using their own emotionally fragile child. The mom gave up her career because she says Greta was getting all upset about the carbon footprints, Greta supposedly forced her entire family to vegan and her parents let her quit school to focus on her indoctrinated message but notice Greta still dresses like an eight-year-old, braids and all. That's deliberate.

    The Angry Kid was much more entertaining and he was a bad prophet as well:

    still fish in the ocean, yes?

    She sounds mentally ill. Greenpeace is nuts anyway. None of what she said has any scientific backing except from American mediocrities in the scientific world. There has been no increase in the average for fifteen years. Scientists now think climate is affected mostly by sunspots. Carbon dioxide is not a poison. People and animals have off carbon dioxide and plants use it to make oxygen. God planned it that way. That's not to say that maybe Swedes shouldn't move to Mars, just sayin' Finally, would Obama have paid 15 million for a mansion on the beach at Martha's Vineyard if he thought the seas were rising?

    Sure, if the climate scare had depressed that price from an original ask of $25 million. Half of that (hypothetical) difference would build a mighty fine seawall. :eek:
    Note: I'm a weather hobbyist and love to play with numbers, and my analyses show that temperatures are warmer than 30-60-90 years ago, though most of my figure fiddling is US data. I also believe that if God wished to discipline the world for its idolatry thru warming climate, that's what would happen.

    There is no indication that Obama is going to ruin his property by building a seawall and anyway it would have to include all of Martha's Vineyard, as you know.

    You don't post very often so let me ask you how much you think the climate has changed in the last century?

    And what do you say about sunspots and what should we do to stop solar flares?

    It is indeed shameful exploitation, but these people are deeply hypocritical, so it comes as no surprise. To scream “The earth is warming!” and blame it on mankind is to deny their own science.

    Regardless of what causes them, modern science—their own science—indicates the planet has been through several major ice ages and many significant warming and cooling periods, and that we are enjoying an unusually stable time following the last cold peak thousands of years ago.

    One way or another, someone is not playing with a full deck. They sound stupid or crazy, and some may be. But others have something up their sleeves and are betting we are too stupid to notice. By the look of things on the left, they are right.
