I do not believe it is irreversible. However, it is much like the trope of the boat heading downstream and we hear the waterfall. Start paddling!!! Eventually it will be too late to paddle and off the precipice we go. To add to this metaphor, it is night time and we can’t judge distances... but we can hear the falls..…

Excellent!  That future will come to pass because of people like Greta.  Not from people who say “its fine, nothing to see here” 

What you describe is a problem of humans. The desire to make some big proclamation! We’re doing it now...

Since you wanted specifics, I gave you some. You people like to argue with semantic diatribes such as, “ohh this didn’t happen exactly in 2010" or “there are still polar bears!” or “it still gets cold in winter!” Well, hey, in 2012 in October, parts of NYC were under 10+ feet of water.  This will get worse. 

Yes, your lack of understanding. If you were to actually look at the scientific studies and consensus you’d find that the sheer amount of data are overwhelmingly in favor of climate change being anthropogenic in nature.

I see - you are a “burn it down” person. Screen Name checks out.

Because you people hold so dearly to a literal Set Date that we have these insane outbursts and denials from the Right. As you said, science needs to be rigorous and new discoveries are found all the time. Data are replaced with new data. Global ecosystems and climate systems are huge and more complicated than we…

Another bad take. You’re chock full of them.

“take a look at the splinter article when Greta arrived in the US. there’s a nice assortment of proud liberal commenters spewing today’s full-on MAGA horseshit.”

Yes indeed, she is way more capable than any of those people in the hall she is talking to. How so? She has the courage to say what needs to be said, in the ways that is needs to be said. None of those dithering idiots sitting in those chairs will ever say what needs to be said, or do what needs to be done - they will…

Boris, you have work to do to not let your country fall apart. Stop hate-reading and wasting your time on sites like Splinter.

Well, you certainly proved this particular headline to be accurate today, sir.  

The thing is these right wingers are outclassed by a 16-year old, and this makes them fret and fume. How could a mere 16-year old be smarter than me? Harrumph!

A) report was redacted

Congratulations on proving the headline is accurate. 

They’re upset because they’ve been outed as less capable than a 16-year old.  

But it’s true. Conservatives are having meltdowns over Greta in the near term.

Were you replying to some other story on Splinter, or is this some cut/paste of boilerplate liberal trolling? 

Who has the popcorn? 

Perhaps they are afraid of Greta because she represents a chance.. a small hint of a possibility that Republicans and Evangelicals won’t get their dearly awaited Apocalypse.
