Many would argue the exact opposite. It's selfish TO have kids.

She made Dump stand up and take notice, for one. She was featured on every news channel in the world. When you do that, let us know.

She can deliver a powerful speech. Trump only WISHES he could command that kind of speech with his lackluster reading of the teleprompter.

Not to mention flying two twelve man yacht crews back and forth across the ocean to man the thing.

She is the face of the youth movement for her cause (whether you agree with her cause of not). She was invited to speak at the UN.

Were you invited to speak at UN at 16? Do you know anyone who was?

She is one of the most accomplished 16 yr olds today. Just because you disagree with her message, does not take that away.

Every single thing you said in your post is irrelevant. Her autism, her "mutism", her OCD, Her rich parents, and the fact that you find her to be creepy. Not one of those things has anything to do with the issue she is raising. Yet, you use all of these unrelated things as an excuse to ignore her. To completely discount her as a human.

Nasty person.

Also unrelated - the photos of her and both of her parents sporting the spiffy black ANTIFA t-shirts ?


Oh no, no agenda there, no siree ...

This is up from $4.5 trillion dollars the year before.


Where is your outrage?


Your whole post is denier paranoia. Investment is not a giveaway. Green investment means green jobs which means economic expansion.


You're okay with trillions to the fossil fuel industry but not to industries of the future.


You need to rethink your priorities.

There’s Big Money in Global Warming Alarmism

Here’s How 16 Big Companies Are Profiting Off Global Warming

The Paris Agreement is a $23 trillion investment opportunity. How can we unlock it?


The historic Paris Agreement on climate change has added wind to the sails of already accelerating climate-smart investment markets. The year 2015 was another record-breaking one for renewable energy with nearly $350 billion invested, more than doubling the amount going to coal and gas-fired power generation. So, where are the most promising investments and what do the governments need to do to unlock private finance?

To answer these questions, IFC—a member of the World Bank Group and the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in developing countries—analyzed the national climate commitments made in Paris by 21 emerging market economies where we expect to see major investment in infrastructure and climate-smart solutions.

If these countries make good on their ambitions to scale up solar and wind energy, increase green buildings, put in place cleaner transport, and implement waste solutions—there is a $23 trillion investment potential between now and 2030.


As long as you jump onto the climate change bandwagon, you stand to profit handsomely, government will just give you free taxpayer money.

Whether you are getting that $7,500 subsidy for buying your new electric car, or $1,000 for buying your home's new air-conditioner, or if you are just a green energy manufacturer who receives tens of millions of taxpayer dollar subsides, man-made global warming money is free, and everyone gets their piece of it.

The catch is, you have to join in with the scam. If you are a skeptic, you will get nothing. In fact, if you own a company and you do not embrace the scam, not only will you have to make it on your own, without the millions of government subsides your "green" competitors receive, but.... government will write new laws and regulations designed to bankrupt you, and drive you out of business.

We already have the Democrats running for president proposing dozens of outright bans on products they don't like. If they do gain power, they will simply ban anything they believe isn't green enough.

Both of these posts are correct. The first served well the west until recently. Now it is only doing it service to developing countries and they're catching up. The second is about raising the price of energy so the west stay on top.

Simple as that, nothing to do with the climate.

Where did you get that? It does not require 12 men crews to sail.

Having said that, obviously airplanes will fly with, or without her, so the boat thing is what it is.

I know some will be OK with it. Anyone who still supports Trump (why I made the apparently bad assumption) is OK with mocking the disabled. I am not.

So i guess after you have dispensed your brand of justice and the young girl is laying on the floor crying/bleeding and battered to a pulp you will look down and feel you have achieved some measure of moral retribution at the girl for having the audacity to speak her mind.,What a hero. i think i'd rather listen to what she has to say rather than what you have to say.
