Individals are irrelevant ( but good on Greta I say). Those that have their heads in the sand will use anything to divert from the issue and the facts we all ignore. Still we'll worry about pot holes more, or our next package holiday. We're one of the most selfish generations ever I'm afraid. Previous generations may also have a part, but they didn't know the consequences, we do but we carry on regardless.

Good for raising awareness, but one person won't change it. It's the very structure of society that needs to change. Worldwide.

It does say a lot about the character & personality of the people who attack such a person. These sad but dangerous people do not attempt to disprove what this girl is saying, rather they resort to character assassination.

The only positive thing is that the more they attack her, the more people will realise how small minded and backward looking they are. The planet needs action now, on a global scale and this girl is trying to communicate this message.

I do think that we have reached a point where Climate Change deniers are now is the same category as Flat Earthers. The main difference, however, is that they are a danger to our collective future.

Agreed. A bit like being in charge of a cigarette company in the 1970s when you knew the damsge they caused but still carried on marketing them.

'start eating babies' to solve climate crisis
:eh:
“We’re not going to be here for much longer because of the climate crisis.

“We only have a few months left. I like that you support the green deal but getting rid of fossil fuels is not going to solve the problem fast enough.

“Our Swedish professors are saying that we can eat dead people but that’s not fast enough.

“So I think your next campaign slogan has to be this: we’ve got to start eating babies.
“We don’t have enough time. There’s too much CO2. All of you, you are a pollutant.

“Too much CO2. We have to start now, please. You are so great, I’m so happy that you really support the new green deal but it’s not enough you know.

“Even if we were to bomb Russia we still have too many people, too much pollution.

“So we have to get rid of the babies, that’s a big problem.

“We need to eat babies. This is very serious, please give a response.”

I know you have a disclaimer at the bottom of your posts, but I have to say, I think we all know it's like one of Boris's statements - you may think it's true, but no one else believes it... ;)

I know you favour articles from the gutter press but this takes the biscuit. I am not too sure of what your aim is here?

Evening Standard article on original speech, complete with video.
Quote:
A Swedish scientist has suggested eating human flesh to tackle climate change at a Stockholm summit, according to reports.
In the 1973 dystopian film Soylent Green, the world is so overpopulated that dead bodies are sold as food.
But Swedish researcher Magnus Söderlund believes this could be a genuine solution to climate change and asserts we must "awaken the idea" of eating human flesh in the future.
At a summit for food of the future called Gastro Summit, Professor Söderlund held a talk called “Can you Imagine Eating Human Flesh?” where he argued "conservative" taboos against cannibalism should be broken down - the Epoch Times reports.

Apparently, it’s a Trump supporter who advocated eating babies... ;)

Viral Video About Eating Babies at AOC Town Hall Was Staged by Pro-Trump Group

LaRouche PAC, a far-right group that supports Donald Trump, has taken credit for trolling Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during a town hall meeting yesterday. An operative with LaRouche made headlines overnight after standing up at AOC’s town hall in Queens yesterday and saying that humanity should eat babies, among other ridiculous things, to address the climate crisis.

Viral video from the incident shows a woman posing as a supporter of AOC and wearing a shirt that reads, “Save the Planet, Eat the Children.” Many people clearly thought she was mentally disturbed, but LaRouche PAC, a fringe organization that believes climate change is a hoax, was behind the stunt, according to the group’s Twitter account.

It's called sarcasm.

I presume you weren't taking it literally, as in Project Fear (see other thread). :D

Where does it say that the Swedish Professor Magnus Söderlund is a Trump supporter?:confused:

Nowhere, because I was referring to the LaRoche supporter who spoke out at AOC’s event.

Hope this helps...

sarcasm: the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.

Maybe you are right?

Looks like we can relax. There is no climate emergency.
