in her very first public act, an essay written for a newspaper contest on climate change

she cited exactly one fact - that Sweden had 11 tons of CO2 per capita. And single-handedly decided that wasn't good enough.

It begs the question - how much CO2 is too much? How much of a difference would switching to natural gas & nuclear - 2 proven and available technologies - make?

Happened after David Gelbaum donated money to Sierra Club.

With the stipulation that they would not mention excessive immigration as harmful to the environment generally and resource preservation in particular.

Someone please give some examples of environmental-related statements she has made that contradict widely-accepted environmental views made by leading and professional environmentalists! In other words, things she said that are incorrect.

Sorry, Greta Thunberg, but you’re (mostly) wrong
"However, emotion must not be confused with scientific credibility, and in this case, the “science” behind Thunberg’s pleas for help is (mostly) wrong, and her message dangerously misguided."

The problem with Greta is that the whole conversation is now about Greta more than about "Global Warming."

They will advocate for greater governmental control, then step by step limit what we plebians can do as far as travel, what we can purchase, what we cat eat, etc. Of course, none of this will apply to the elites, but only to us little people. We will live in a pre-industrial existence, while they live as they wish.
