Children should be seen and not heard.
That used to be a common philosophy. Anti-child? Full of contempt and bitterness? No. Ageist? Threatened by a younger generation? No. Children are ignorant.
Not stupid. No, children are not intrinsically stupid. Besides, there are plenty of stupid adults. Anyone watching the impeachment proceedings?
But children are without knowledge, that is, have not gained knowledge. Why? Because they are… children. Knowledge must be acquired, and that requires time.
So, we can appreciate the enthusiasm and energy of youth, but their political views should be flatly ignored. And this is especially true when it comes to energy policies and climate change.
The annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, once again hosted young climate activists spewing their ignorance.
Their leader, Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” teenage eco-warrior Greta Thunberg shouted that “our house is on fire.”
Is it?
Surely the Australian fires have been tragic to watch with loss of life and untold destruction of homes, communities, and wildlife.
But less sensational a story than the reductionist “big oil companies heat planet” is the actions of over 180 individuals, some arsonists, some disobeying fire ban rules. Greta didn’t mention that.
Nor, too, did she mention the aboriginal people who have practiced controlled burning for centuries, but have been prevented from doing so by the government. Aboriginal elders in Sydney knew the fire was coming. “It should have happened sooner.”
Funny, if this were a story about native culture, we’d be railing against disenfranchisement or marginalization. But in the new hierarchy of social justice values Greta > Native Culture.
But Australia is in a drought! Surely that is proof of climate change. Do you know who was also in a drought? California. For seven years.
It basically ended last year, and the most recent measure shows that 96% of the state is back to normal. What ended the great California drought?
Climate change.
Noticeably absent from Ms. Thunberg’s Davos screed was any country other than America. Sure, she blasted America from withdrawing from the Gospel of the Paris Climate Accord.
But there was no mention of the world’s largest polluter of poisonous Sulphur Dioxide: China, India, and Russia.
China emits more carbon dioxide than the US and the EU combined. China and India are also world leaders in ocean pollution, dumping plastics directly into the waterways.
How cozy to blast America in neutral Switzerland about the pollution caused by China. Makes one want to compose a folksong.
Look, I mean Ms. Thunberg no ill will. But the feeling is not mutual. When she makes her list of demands that we stop burning fossil fuels immediately, I think it’s fair to ask her “who should die first?”
Because people will die. Look at developing nations. The leading cause of death among children is malnutrition and diarrhea. Fossil fuels could fix that.
They not only help sow, irrigate, and harvest crops, they also fertilize and transport them. Refrigeration keeps perishable foods from spoiling. Transportation delivers it quickly. Fossil fuels help sustain life.
Fellow radical and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders took an even more extreme step at a debate last year when he supported taxpayer-funded abortion for poor countries to combat climate change. Here, too, it’s fair to ask “which countries?”
I wonder if they get a say before the American taxpayer aborts their children. Probably not. But like I said at the beginning, there are plenty of stupid adults.
While the climate is indeed changing, it’s impossible to have a productive conversation with those whose only lexicon is hyperbole and who remain politically frightened to say the word China.
She’s a kid so I will cut Ms. Thunberg and her young eco-warrior peers some slack. But when it comes to energy policy, the electric grid, the lifeblood of the economy and our very way of life, the adults must do the talking.

GRETA THUNBERG REFLECTS KHMER ROUGE METHOD

The world condemns the genocide in Cambodia, within 4 years from 1975 to 1979, Khmer Rouge (an actual hand of China) led by Pol Pot killed 2 million Cambodian people with the cruel methods. The communist advocates the obscurantism, impoverishment policy, the propaganda plus terror for keeping the ruthless regime. Khmer Rouge, China, Vietnam, North Korea, Laos, Cuba, and other communist regimes have the same […] (thedawnmedia.com)
THE CLIMATE CHANGE STEALS GRETA THUNBERG FUTURE
Posted on January 23, 20201 CommentPosted in Published Articles
The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres succeeded to revive the Khmer Rouge method by using a 16-year-old teenage Swedish girl teaching the world about the hoax climate change. Therefore Greta Thunberg has not graduated high school and she has not enough knowledge to preach about the field that 30,000 scientists confirmed that climate change is not real. The phenomenal Greta Thunberg lags human history, the […] (thedawnmedia.com)
I’ve wrote many times that one single piece of fact demolishes all the lies from climate change: That weather weapons exist for decades – Haarp & Chemtrails!
Proof? Sure: “1976 UN Weather Weapons Treaty” Our CO2 doesn’t damage anything, on the contrary; Trees and plants need CO2 to breath!
We are still wondering how Greta Humbug got to the conference, betting she didn’t walk, ride a horse or bike, also betting she uses all modern conveniences like cell phones, i.pads, electricity etc at home. If her house is on fire, why is much of the northern hemisphere is snowed in? She has a professional offsider in Gore who lives by the ocean (?) has a house that uses power equal to a small village and has become mega rich…..hmmm, wonder how that happened!
Did Gore recite is stupid poem to her and did she swoon for it? Only a total fool would want to hear Gores idiotic poem
Did almost prez Al Gore advise her on how to become a billionare by slinging sh*t as truth and calling it settled science ?
“Why Isn’t Greta Sailing To China To Whine At President Xi?” because she wouldn’t get a visa and if she did and started her Scoldilocks preaching, she would be put in jail!!
Agreed very young children can’t possibly know too much.
However how old is this Greta? If well into teens then she should have been to school and a school that teaches World History – not just her Viking marauders but how the World was formed and all about the Dinosaurs and the Hot Carbonated Climate that made them and everything else at that time grow like crazy.
So we cannot excuse her ignorance all the way, but wonder if she was always playing truant?
Well written Daniel. I wish Greta every ill possible. Surgery not just Duct Tape. She is dangerous and destructive to youth. Shut the goof up!!!!!
I’m 72 and realize how ignorant I was at 22, 32……….. and I may have accrued a bit of wisdom which is not in a person’s DNA. ‘Dirty Harry,’ ‘A man’s gotta know his limitations.’
Cheers all
Jan 21, 2020 Climate “Fortune Tellers” And “Alarmists” EXPOSED! Here’s The PROOF They DON’T Want You To See!!!
Climate change “activists” are being exposed by the president and it’s a beautiful thing to witness!
https://youtu.be/qGPXy4KcyxE
I see where that blabbling airhead Al Gore is gushing all over Greta Yeah it figures Gore the Bore would be one of her fans since he has carbon footprint bigger then the average American
When a child picks up a weapon on a battlefield, they cease to be a child. They become a combatant. Greta made a choice, she bears the consequences. Thankfully, they are mostly words.
Please stop writing she’s a kid, she’s months away from being an adult !
She has the brain of an infant.
Greta’s father is pulling her strings while George Soros pulls the Fathers Strings and Big Brother pulls Soros strings yes it all leads to a One World Government run by the Useless Nations which were the plans of Satan
She is mouthing what her father is teaching her. Father and George Soros.
Good luck. There is no such thing as man made global climate change, It has been changing for millions of years. With or without humans.
