This is what not eating a diet with meat does to you: leads to brain shrinkage and atrophy. plus zero critical thinking skill. BONUS: insanity, with a heaping spoonful of narcissism.

And Talcum X just converted to Islam, after years of pretending to be a "black Christian minister".   These are grifters desperately trying to stay relevant.

It's like PETA. No one cares. CLIMATE CATASTROPHE activism has made the topic into white noise.

Greata has the power you give her.

Well, we're safe then.

  I do not understand climate justice.  The people spouting about it do not understand science, first world energy needs, or really much of anything at all.  They are the same people who wanted no nuclear power plants...yet want electric vehicles.   I do not understand unemployed behavior either, and if these people are getting paid to undertake activist activities, I want a full and deep investigation.

Nuclear has the smallest land footprint and can be built pretty much anywhere outside a fault line. You could even put it in planes with the latest technological advancements. You could build those giant scifi floating fortresses because they wouldn't need to land for refueling.

"Renewable" energy sources are pure greenwashing. Corpos use them to give themselves a good image while still engaging in tons of unethical bullshit that contributes to the environmental crisis.

The title somehow implies that Greta stopped at some point, which I doubt.

We saw this with Covid-19 as well.  The "follow the science" crowd ended up being the least scientific of us all.  Long after it was proven that the virus didn't transmit well via anything but aerosolized breath droplets, they continued to wipe down everything in sight with Clorox.  Kept kids out of school, when we knew from early days that children weren't that susceptible.  Locked our whole society down, when it was also known early on that only the very elderly and people with certain health conditions were at any real risk of death.  Kept pushing vaccines long after it was proven that they don't stop transmission; in fact, are barely effective at all except in causing further health problems.  At least religious faith is the belief in things unseen and unknown, essentially unknowable -- these people had faith in things KNOWN TO BE UNTRUE.

  Yeah I do get a little weary of people who seemed to actively avoid science classes at all turns of whatever education they had keep barking at me about science.

Every time I see these neohippies complain that we don't have enough renewable energy production to combat climate change, I want to throw an Engineering textbook at them and yell "Go learn some REAL science!"

I was at Penn State when the first Environmental Science degrees were rolled out. I could tell immediately, because none of the people in that program could give a correct definition of the greenhouse effect*, and you couldn't tell them they were wrong.

* The tendency for atmospheres to admit light, but hold in heat. In other words, they act like a greenhouse.

Dafuq? It's not even a particularly difficult idea to grasp.

But they were taught about enviromental "justice" and other grievance studies not about the science.

Yeah I am routinely frustrated that the green energy advocates so often seem to be anti-nuclear. It's the cleanest, cheapest, and honestly safest form of renewable energy. Solar tends to last only 25-30 years and the rare earth elements that go into making it cause severe environmental damage in their mining. Wind causes a lot of damage too, as does most (but not all) energy from dams.

Heck, you can even put in in fault line areas - Japan admits they had messed up and not installed the latest advanced design to deal with stronger earthquakes. I mean, given the option I think it's better to not put them near a fault line, but even that can be dealt with.

As for disposal of spent materials, several nations have also found good ways to recycle most of the waste these days as well.

As a civilization, had we focused our efforts on making nuclear power safe and widespread, we'd be on much firmer ground right now, and most nations wouldn't have the ongoing security risk of OPEC nations having so much influence over global politics. But because there have been a handful of screw-ups over the years and some unintended scare tactics used against nuclear weapons spilling over in people's minds to nuclear energy, despite those small number of screw-ups having fewer deaths overall than the screw-ups over the years from oil and gas, people are afraid of nuclear.
