She has a balancing act.
Her view is the planet is in significant danger and she wants to drive action.
To do that she, has determined she needs to influence people in different parts of the world.
She will do that in as carbon efficient as possible way and no doubt thinks the bigger picture is worth it in the long run.

Of course, it makes it easy for people to take a pop…. If they are minded to do so.
 
Still don't have clue who he is, but comes across as a massive misogynistic helmet. Not going to bother wasting my time Google-ing him.
JHB - just loves jumping into a controversial topic with even worse inflammatory tweets/comments. File under "desperately trying to stay relevant/controversial to her RWNJ followers" along with Lawrence Fox.
 
took me a while on google to figure out JHB I initially came up with John Handley Bearings from the West Midlands, suppose that's what she wants attention and notoriety
 
I listened to thunberg on jeomy vine on radio 2 and she was absolutely brilliant cutting through government excuses. So much of what she has being saying for years has come true, but even more impressive was she proposed new ideas to rectify climate change. The vindictive cruel portrayal of her as some lonely crazy kid is beyond the pale.

Sorry but carbon efficient does not mean zero C02 emissions. Carbon efficient can mean we still fly, we still mine, we still use fossil fuels we offset our use.

As a non meat eater I dont think the masses have to stop consuming animal products to save dying Mother earth, meat shouldnt have extra taxes on it, you dont have to give up your flights to holidays .. Her view is she wants people to panic. She wants people to be in fear every day. The house is on fire. Meat = heat and is stealing the future of her generations. She wants you/us to stop our current lives and she says this. Meawhile shes off round everywhere on tour, living a life of? Seems a good gig shes got into, but it doesnt fit for the masses.

That is not balanaced.

Wheres my levitating machine Greta?

Pembroke I respect you have a different opinion to me and no to everyone shares the same concerns

But why do you feel she is a zealot?
If she thinks we should leave fossil fuels in the ground why shouldn’t she express that?

Why? Because of her uncompromising views. Lets try meat eating.

Do you think meat eating steals future generations futures? Do you feel the world should be vegan? Greta Thunberg does. Her views on meat eating go further - We should tax meat further to make people stop.

For a non meat eater like myself .. Its quite cult like thinking. Shes a zealot.

Not only is he a climate change denier but he doesn't understand NET zero either. This is the level of stupidity we need to educate somehow to actually save the planet

I am not, and nowhere have I implied or inferred anything that denies climate change as a reality.

Could you indicate again which post, or posts you are referring to? No don't bother because you have stated you have put me on ignore after being challenged to highlight previously something you assert I have posted, when I literally have not.
