"When crooked politicians fear-monger about alarmist climate BS, people don't care. Instead let's use a young girl as a puppet". - Larken Rose
You gotta give the powers that be credit for this one, they understand politicians can no longer effectively tug on the heartstrings of the people, so they use a little girl to dupe the public instead.
The 'climate change' agenda is about three things primarily:
Raising taxes (taxes will change the weather, we promise!)
More governmental control of natural resources
Public acceptance of geo-engineering and weather modification experiments - spraying toxins and heavy metals into the atmosphere (what could possibly go wrong?!)
The mainstream media, which is owned and controlled by the so-called 'elite' who are pushing this climate change BS, always use emotional triggers to dupe their audience.
I've wrote about this in the past..."the mainstream media activates only the limbic and reptilian centres of the brain, and for good reason. The ruling class does not want a populace that is able to engage its neo-cortex to think critically and rationally about unfolding events in the geo-political sphere. They want the masses to blindly accept and support whatever they are told to accept and support, whether it be "the war on terror," "the war on drugs," or some other nefarious political agenda ('climate change') of their concoction. They use clever buzzwords and phrases - 'TERROR,' 'EXTREMISM,' 'GUN NUT,' 'BREXIT CHAOS!' - to trigger specific, fear-based emotional reactions in their audience."
ps - Greta is a fantastic little actor, someone hand this girl an Oscar!
No it isn't bullshit, I live in Honduras and I can assure you the weather is substantially hotter than 30 years ago and we are getting much less rain. Is it man made I don't know but that it's happening it is happening, perhaps not in your part of the world.
I didn't say climate change was bullshit; I said there is a political agenda behind this movement, and that that is where the bullshit lies.
Climate change is natural.
you don't believe that humans are destroying the planet by polluting and stripping the earth of its resources?
I don't, and here is why.
I don't understand why some people are so eager to call climate change a hoax. I mean, what do you have to lose if it isn't? As a society we can do so much better! Why not accept that humans are guilty of destroying everything around them in the name of capitalism, and assume responsibility?
Does it make you sleep better at night thinking that it's all natural and that we are not directly responsible for the collapse of ecosystems? How many animals have gone extinct because of human intervention? How much pollution have we created? How much deforestation and carbon emissions are we responsible for? I think it's extremely naive to say that it's a natural phenomenon, and that we shouldn't worry about it or act upon it.
Yes it has always intrigued me why this intent of denying humanity is the cause of climate change. Now it could be or not, personally I think humans are in part responsible. Now ask yourself, who benefits from denying humanity being partially guilty of climate change? And the answer is those that make money off of exploiting all the planet's resources. so just maybe both sides are being financed by people who have hidden agendas, I think the answer is to look at your own experience, read, watch, and don't get taken by videos, I notice some videos of very good quality that are promoting crap ideas (as a note I didn't watch the above video so I don't even know what it is about).
The climate change agenda is a "green" front for socialism. Capitalism creates productive and prosperous societies. The current climate alarmist only want government power, they are power thirsty socialists and we all know how socialism ends.
The solution for any climate or environmental problem should be a market solution, not a government intervention socialist "solution" promoted by far left totalitarian climate alarmists.
I think it's dangerous to label climate change a "front". The issue is real and affects everyone. It's not a political issue.
Will politicians use the climate change issue to push their agenda ? of course! But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be taken seriously. People need to stop politicizing it and make it a global issue to be dealt with ASAP on all fronts.
Once our resources are depleted and there will be no more clean air to breathe, water to drink or food to eat, nobody will care whether it was the socialists or capitalists using it as an argument in their political game...our children won't care about that either.
I'm with you, if I could change gas powered cars to burning alcohol, I would, but why do you refuse to accept that the sun is hotter than when I was a kid, the planet has been hotter before there were cars, and politicians lie?
IF you watched that movie, you would have seen why the math of your equations don't add up.
Instead you blindly accept things as the gospel because they came out of the mouth of 'authorities' that you know lie to you to control you?
No, I don't accept things blindly but I have seen a lot of videos, take something like the flat earth, these guys make very convincing videos if you want to believe them but they attack the spherical earth idea as something without any substance and yet their videos are also only theoretical no substance just ideas, The same with climate change attack and attack and no way to prove, in this case I would rather go with the idea that puts forth that man is affecting it and we try to do something like decrease our dependence on fossil fuel, learn how to eliminate plastics without harming the environment, population control, less highways through jungles etc. Whether man has an effect on climate change reducing the things I say will have a good effect, don't you think?

'Climate change' is a political agenda being used to usher in more authoritarian control over the masses.
Pollution is one thing, climate change is something else.
Pollution among other things Humans are doing to this planet are the principal causes of climate change (the use of fossil fuels, deforestation, etc). I don't believe that it is a natural phenomenon.

"Those of us who have been around awhile are used to constant fearmongering about the environment. My first-grade teacher handed out maps showing how a pollution-caused ice age would soon cover our Chicago suburb with a glacier. Mom eased the panic with a reminder we were moving to Phoenix that summer.
After that, acid rain was going to kill us, then the ozone hole, then global warming, then “global weirding,” and now, climate change. (Granted, the climate has always changed, but progressives think it started a century ago.)
Despite the wildly different scenarios, from freezing oceans to boiling ones, the solution is always the same: curtail capitalism and let government control more of our lives.
The young, unfortunately, don’t have our luxury of perspective. And it’s destroying their emotional health.
According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly one-third of all 13- to 18-year olds will experience an anxiety disorder. The numbers continue to go up; between 2007 and 2012, anxiety in children and teens rose 20 percent.
The suicide rate for young Americans is now the highest ever recorded. Between 2000 and 2017, the number of suicides has doubled for females aged 15 to 24. Males between 15 and 19 killed themselves at a rate of 17.9 per 100,000, up from 13 per 100,000 in 2000.
Our increasingly anxious kids deserve better. Daily prophecies of global annihilation are deeply unhealthy, not to mention unsupported by the vast majority of research. Even if you accept that human activity is heating the globe, relatively few scientists are predicting the end of the world in 12 years or 17 months.
What Thunberg’s parents are doing to her borders on child abuse. Hyping increasingly apocalyptic claims is spreading that abuse to every other young person."
Interesting about suicides, I just looked up on Google and very few countries have higher suicide rates now than just a few decades back, this particular sentence stood out for me:
"Twenty years ago, America’s rate was half China’s. Now it is twice China’s."
I wonder why something like this happens, and it is not just against China apparently the European suicide rate has fallen also.
