She keeps attacking one of the worlds leading climate change responders, yet she ignores the big boys, China, USA, India etc! UK is responsible for 1% of the emissions, we cannot make any difference yet we do put in a massive effort. Go and visit China Greta, open your eyes love.

gromit: "If you are going to argue to do nothing about climate change, then do so." - I'm not, I'm saying there are better targets for activists than the no 2 climate change responder. But you knew that, as usual you are just trying to put your anti British spin on it.

redhelen: 10:22, you have my permission to ignore all my threads.

[roadman]

But toratoratora to be fair thats her point shes saying the uk are liars

Also if the uk actually are the leading the efforts then maybe they are more open to her ideas

[bobbinwales]

Gromit your figures don't mean much. China's about 20 times are population so its going to have more electric cars etc

[ToraToraTora]

roadman: "But toratoratora to be fair thats her point shes saying the uk are liars" - yes but with no actual evidence, she mumbled pretty incoherently on sky news, I think she was on some sort of meds.
"Also if the uk actually are the leading the efforts then maybe they are more open to her ideas " - yes so stop sla66ing us off and go and haunt the real emitters.

[anneasquith]

No. There is room for everyone with an opinion. Does she actually do any harm ?

[ToraToraTora]

anne: "No. There is room for everyone with an opinion. Does she actually do any harm ? " - she has an opinion that is wrong and needs correcting and yes it does harm, many might think why bother? We have control of 1% of human emissions, nothing we do makes much difference on a planetary scale. Some might think, in the face of continual berating by the brat, what's the point?

[Gromit]

Climate change action tracker lists our response as ‘insufficient’.

What's a "woc"?

[Bobbisox1]

Any anger ‘ being fed up’ of seeing her should be directed at her parents for using her to push their ideals , she’s a pawn in their game

[naomi24]

Anneasquith. I think she does some people, children in particular, a great deal of harm. I know kids who are worried sick fearing the world is about to end and they’re about to die. A little less drama wouldn’t go amiss.

[ToraToraTora]

Gromit: duno how they work that out, we are no2 responders, that's good enough for me. You keep your anti British bent going. How you can say activists are correct to target us rather than China beggars belief.

[ToraToraTora]

Mozz, 10:40, go on have a think.

[THECORBYLOON]

MOZZ, he appears to have "selective dyslexia" and I believe he means "Cow".

[ToraToraTora]

As you know I am a student of slang and dialects etc, that one is from my Butchers back slang collection.

[Ellipsis]

Dingbat [antag.] - a backwards cow ...

[Gromit]

Firstly, she is no longer a kid. She is 18.
Secondly, she is not thick. She was a pupil at Franska Skolan, a private school in central Stockholm, from 2010 to 2018, after which she transferred to Kringlaskolan, a school in Södertälje. In 2019 it was announced that she had completed the 9th grade (which is the completion of the lower secondary education) with excellent grades, garnering 14 A-grades and 3 B-grades (B-grades are reportedly in Swedish, home economics and physical education).

[ToraToraTora]

well she may not be thick, technically but she's definitely a flying buttress short of a cathedral.
Gromit, would you not agree that activists would do better to target the entity doing the most of what they oppose?
Greenpeace target Japan about whaling because they are one of the biggest whalers, they don't target UK because we are not, geddit?

[Mozz71]

How strange, I didn't think "cow" was on the banned list. I assumed it was either something worse or in the language of whatever people Tora belongs to this week.

Gromit has a lot of form for not providing context - he's done it from day one with the Covid deaths.
