you'll also need good protections from possible flooding dangers

It's the east coast mainly and london of course.

They plan to save some coast but let go of some

The west coast is higher in most places

The abuse you're talking about is from other people, and not because children followed their parents.

OK, that's fair enough, maybe abused is the wrong word. But I'd definitely say a dereliction of duty and care as a parent. And I'm not changing my opinion on that.

This is getting quite morbid, which is apt, because I've been to a funeral this morning.

So **** the future generations then? As long as you’re ok

The Right Wing in a nutshell.

[Twosugars]

Northern europe and the top of britain are still rising as the ground continues rebounding after the weight of the last glaciation ice got lifted.
For example on long stretches of swedish coast the sea is actually retreating so fast it can be observed on yearly basis.
But that's just localized, globally the sea is winning.

Basically, yes! It's not that I don't care, it's just that I'm not programmed to save the World, and what they've said so far isn't panicking me, and in all honesty, at the moment, It looks like a confidence trick to me.

You’re not programmed to save the world but will openly criticise anyone that is?

But that's the thing, I don't believe she is either, and I don't believe Jesus Christ was.

I'm tired of holding the hand of manbabies that will willingly sell their own children's future for a bit of profit today. There's no time left for pleasantries and the right wingers that are upset about being called out should be less like the snowflakes they'll claim others to be.

They cant help it. Cant break the habit of a lifetime and suddenly care about others

But they need to be called out

Pushing them out in front of the World's media to pitch for an issue such as this, which is basically saying "we're all gonna die" You seiously think there's people out there that aren't gonna challenge this?

These people use children to push their message to try and use it against any different views, and think they can shut people down by saying you're bullying a child.

That's a cop out, their time is now it's their future there's nothing to suggest she's not being protected. Except of course this new morgan driven hysteria that has for some reason concluded she is in some way at risk, or being in some other way exploited... it's pathetic.

She is in front of the media saying this, and who can say for certain she is wrong? Nobody; they can't because they know unless there is sisemic change then she's right as she has science on her side to back it up.

If there was a credible counter argument that didn't use Gretas Aspergers or simple mockery then of course that would be reacted to positively, if all that's offered is bullying then don't be surprised if there's an accusation of bullying.

Look at the reaction of the president of the United States. .. his mockery, do you think that was warranted? Was it right or fair? Could that passive aggressive rudeness not impact on Greta negatively? How angry are you about that?

Is triggering people her purpose? If not, then she's failing at whatever she's doing. .

It's not what's being said...it's who's saying it though.

So, have I turned anybody in to sceptics yet? Have you taken my Red pills?

Because demonstrably that's true. I can only speak for the west, but all of the climate change denial across the pond is on the right (where, incidentally, you source a lot of your opinions from). Over here, only the recent mumblings of denial have started coming from the right.

You may consider yourself on the left, but you also said Nazi's were socialists so you'll have to forgive me if I'm overly skeptical of your political classifications.

I said I don't see myself on any side. But I come from a family whose voted Labour all their lives so far, I've lived my entire life so far in a Labour constituancy. So I'd say I come from more of a left back ground than a right one. Doesn't mean I have to be a socialist though.

Why would I think they're anything other than socialists, It says socialist in the description "National Socialist"

It also says "democratic peoples republic" in the description of north Korea. Unfortunately, the names of things don't tell you everything you need to know.

First they came for the socialists...

I admire her.
She is young and she along with her generation are the future.

Her knowledge and hard work in her efforts is commendable all through.

My footnote is, she needs good support and protection too.
It's easy to get worn out in work or a cause and I hope she is being looked after.

Those who attack her, sadden me.

She is also just human.

It's easy to sit and criticise her however I think and hope her generation will have reason to look back and thank her for her determined efforts.
I'm not of her generation obviously but I thank her already.
