Growing up in progressive Sweden, Greta Thunberg probably knows more about this issue than the average U.K. adult.
Certainly more switched on than the likes of Goldstone.
Her speech was smart, accurate, polite and devastating.
It does not surprise me that the points she raises have the “bury your head brigade” in a panic.
To them I say; grow up, take responsibility. Problems do not go away if you ignore them.

Shame Fulham didn't hold this defeatist attitude when 2-down to us at half-time - evidence that the unexpected can, and does, happen.
Anyway, I've seen the film, Flash Gordon saves us [the planet] ....
If you’re a grown adult and you feel threatened by some kid talking about climate change and trying to make sure that the world doesn't die in a ball of flames, please take a long, hard look at yourself.
You sound threatened.

Exactly, don't pee off the people you want to convince. e.g. The guards v Southern Rail and Northern Rail, that really got the public on their side, NOT. People up north were quite 'insulting' to the striking guards for all the disruption.

This part of Greta Thunberg's speech to Parliament is the crux of it for me.
"Now we probably don’t even have a future any more. Because that future was sold so that a small number of people could make unimaginable amounts of money."

I wouldn’t worry about global warming.

You and Reddleman have misunderstood the objective of the protests. They are trying to get governments across the globe to legislate drastic change to save the planet. If the bloke on the street gets pissed off with that legislation, tough.
And as for the people saying, why the UK? Why aren't they protesting elsewhere? They are, in 80 cities around the world.

nailed it ....she's right as well , and those obscenely rich pricks are the ones who will not be affected at all ........as usual the poorest will cop the worst ....most of micro and polynesia under water within 25 years ....Bangladesh , it's all very well arguing that we are not causing global warming , the stark truth that is staring us in the face is that we are , rising sea levels are going to cause havoc in the coming years and that is a subject close to the hearts of many sussex residents.

And worryingly as she points out, it's only EU legislation that has made the UK government act. If we leave the EU, watch us take apart that legislation and start Fracking at an exponential rate. Money money money money

not really, its been for the benefit and utility of us. companies make money along the way but the public are the beneficiaries, labour saving things, things for pleasure, work things, jobs, holidays, recreation etc.
Sorry, how has the top 1% owning 45% of the World's wealth benefitted me personally?
