The solution is to focus on our consumption and disposal of plastics, instead of things we can't really change

Plastic is going to **** the planet more than rising/falling temperatures

Yrkoon · 27 Sep 2019 at 01:33

right and that is not going to happen as her handlers know damn well.

she is a young asd lassie getting abused by asses? am i right?

also what is her master plan for doing this, how can she go about this, and remember your talking to some one that is autistic and cuts up all the plastic rings into shreds, incase birds or dolphins or fish get caught,,,,,, please tell me the master plan.]

Threatened by a 16 year old girl?

Ok.

Ageism and sexism in one short sentence. Well done, you are winning at being fashionably prejudiced.

Whether or not someone is threatening has nothing to do with their age. It's about their power (of which she has a great deal), their accountability (of which she has none), their empathy for other people (hers is limited, either by her mental illness or by her devout ideology or by her irrational prejudice or a combination of the three) and their knowledge of what does harm (her knowledge of most things is limited).

Her age and sex are a godsend to her followers and to anyone who wants to use her. She can be simultaneously cast as an infant who cannot be criticised at all, a messiah of innocence and purity and as the font of all wisdom. More power than almost all adults and less responsibility and accountability than most children. A perfect combination for either a tyrant or a tool.

Careful - bit too much clarity for GD.

You know something else I'd do?
Ban crypto currency. Think how many thousands of gigawatts are wasted daily on dead end, speculation.

He's talking about me, and i stand by that. Because if she wasn't travelling the world saying it's about to end, then it wouldn't have scared kids into killing themselves.

That might be so in your case, but for the overwhelming majority I'd say you are totally incorrect.

Really, no one's doing anything about it? Ok. No one is doing anything.

The issue is not fast enough. A lot of the UK's approach to its target for 2050 is basically offload anything polluting to other countries so they can claim reductions and hitting their targets.

Reason being the solutions which are available cost money.

Hellsmk2 · 27 Sep 2019 at 08:58

It's time the world finally accepted that nuclear power is by far the most sustainable for of energy we have in our arsenal; I'd like to see the government commit to building five or six new power stations over the next decade, not just Hinkley Point. Nuclear technology has come a long way since the 80's, and it would help the country meet it's targets without having to fudge them by offloading to poorer countries.

The irony being that that's what we'd do with our nuclear waste. Which WILL come back to bite us, especially if they treat that waste like they do the recycling waste we've sent them... Go back to that drawing board buddy.

What? You think our nuclear waste will end up flowing through rivers in Thailand?

The very first two responses in this thread illustrate the sexism and misogyny of her detractors. And yours illustrates the ignorance of neuro-atypical conditions ("mental illness").

Her age, sex and Aspergers seem to be more of a 'godsend' to morons, frankly.
