Greta thrives on attention. She will take these arrests like a badge of honor.
With all the hot air about a Utd title challange finally finished, I think the fear of global warming can finally be put to bed.
Thatâs a ridiculous assumption to make.
I think she, and a large number of people, would rather never have heard from her because the cause sheâs championing doesnât need to exist in the first place.

Thatâs probably what they said about Gandhi at the time.
Weâre fucked.

Wonder how many cars theyâll go through?
I wonder how much tyre particle pollution this pointless journey will generate.

Itâs an interesting trek as if they manage to complete it, then it adds a massive weight of evidence that renewable energy is both viable and also a lot more easily achievable than big oil will try to tell you.
Hopefully this will have some green energy deniers seriously question their views and outlook on energy production
Thanks for posting this. I found this quote interesting:
âIf we aim for 1.5C and achieve 1.6C, that is still much much better than saying, itâs too late, and we are doomed and Iâm not even trying,â Dr Friederike Otto, from Imperial College, a member of the core writing team for this report, told BBC News.
âAnd I think what this report shows very, very clearly is there is so much to win by trying.â
We shouldnât give over to defeatism, and thatâs the main message of this report.

If it was an electric car driven forward by solar cells, Iâd say fair play. But we know that electric cars arenât that great in terms of environment. After all, on their journey, they will likely recharge their car with electricity partly produced from gas and coal plants.
This is just an attention-grabbing, polluting trip. Weâd be all better off if they stayed at home imo.

And will do for decades.
Despite Gretaâs disciples denying this fact and conveniently ignoring how much the environment is damaged to make these car batteries
Tesla batteries are made from dolphin poo harvested by pot smokers in wooden boats in San Francisco bay. Apparently.
Discussing this with work colleagues the other day. Thereâs also battery production which in some cases is not exactly the most honourable undertaking shall we say.
Being honest I do wonder if the key metric we should be looking at is global. If going full electric only achieves moving your carbon footprint to another part of the world itâs useless. But we can only control our own back yard I guess.
Where are we with hydrogen? Has capitalism pushed this to the back of the line?

Dealt with above. In terms of cars, too expensive and difficult to implement the distribution and storage. Leaks like a dyslexic Welshman.
Quite impressed with that one

To be fair with âGretaâs dicisciplesâ, they promote a lifestyle which would be less reliant on using individual cars all the time. Whether these cars use electricity or oil is ultimately irrelevant, as both are polluting.
Firstly, youâve spelt leeks incorrectly.
Secondly, I appreciate itâs difficult. The solution to reducing our reliance is not a small or a simple one. Itâs also one that is met with resistance from certain quarters but that doesnât mean we should dismiss it. Providing new infrastructure to meet the charging requirements for a nations worth of electric vehicles is not exactly easy or cheap either. And thereâs always that thought in the back of my mind regarding the increase in rare mineral mining and all the stuff thatâs currently going on in that circle.
I just have a horrible feeling that the whole response to climate change is being allowed to be driven by the market rather than policy.
