Well that's selfish......the rest is your choice, neither good nor bad, just boring......
Exactly who was I selfish against? You, other people living here? Who? Selfishness can only be an act against "somebody." There was no "somebody."

Wow. Just wow. Sounds like somebody is highly upset. I know I tend to curse more when I feel threatened or upset.

Reading some of the replies to this thread just points out how little people think or care about this issue. It's sad and I believe why we are in the place we are. I keep having to remind myself that so many here are all about denial, casting aspersions, mocking, etc. This is just a discussion forum by many who don't know what they're talking about, including me, although I have tried to educate myself and not be brainwashed by the man behind the curtain in the WH, and his ilk. We are all just arm chair spectators on this whole issue. I need to remember to keep my expectations of much meaningful conversation on climate change in check.
Ok, what exactly are the solutions that she is proposing??

The biggest culprit of pollution is consumerism.

I totally agree with you about consumerism. That's why I consume as little as I possibly can.

This is part of Greta's solution which I also agree with.

Honestly, I'd never heard of her before this thread. I saw the title and immediately thought she was an Epstein victim that I must have missed along the way. So no, you weren't the only one.

You know nothing about me or my lifestyle. Again I say, there is no one there to be selfish against. How has my not having a child been a selfish act against you or anyone else?

I disagree with your position on this teen, but you weren't selfish in not having children. Sometimes people have children BECAUSE they are selfish. I wish more people would think before acting in that regard.

Believe me, I wish you were right and climate change is a hoax and not really happening, but I have to go with the evidence...It IS happening and it is serious....Too bad.

This young lady really triggers the Maga crowd. It's pretty appalling actually.

Yes, she was dramatic. (Anyone been around any pre-teens/teen-agers lately?) Yes, she sees the entire issue in black and white? Repeat above question.
