I don't expect any of the protestors do have a solution. They are contributing to the problem by holding up traffic, so creating more pollution. They are also annoying the people that they need to persuade. Not that clever. Even if the world responds and makes grand statements about reducing CO2 emissions, who will enforce it? And how? Who will make China cut back their emissions? Not a 16 year old girl, that's for sure.
Sure. The truth hurts, no matter where it comes from. “Out of the mouths of babes”... who said that?
An itinerant carpenter who raised the dead, healed the sick, opened blind eyes and deaf ears - that is someone with real power to change lives. Oh, Jesus did not come to change the world. He came to offer people the opportunity to leave the world system and come into God's kingdom. The world is no different now than it was in Roman times. It just has better technology with which to self destruct.
Good article. All the more reason to leave science to the experts, and let the children enjoy their childhood. That some would entertain her as some sort of environmental messiah speaks volumes about the decline in the ability of many to engage in critical thinking.
Re-read the first post. It asks "Some people here think Greta Thunberg is a joke ... Why do some people here find her worthy of ridicule?" It clearly focuses on the question of why some perceive her in a negative light. Point out hypocrisy is not abuse.
Its wrong to think that she's doing science. Basically she's just protesting for international action on climate change without even getting super specific on how that should work. She's reacting to strongly established science, and kind of shaming the world leaders who'd sit on their hands.
Taking care of the enviroment is everyones respnsebility.
Fixing your self is a neverending project, and no excuse for ignoring problems that are essentially collective in nature.
