Gotta love the idea of a carbon free boat made out of … carbon fibre, held together by polymer resins made from “fossil fuel” resources. I’m also guessing a funky aerospace quality Al-Mg alloy mast which required loads of fossil derived energy to mine and cast in the foundry, not a sustainably farmed tree trunk.

The sails are made from what ? Hemp or high tech polymers made from “dirty” OIL?

So what is this farce supposed to save? The ‘carbon footprint of one half sized human flying to NY, which results in 2 full sized humans doing the same thing. Sounds like it just wasted FOUR times MORE that it pretends to save.

Here's how far agenda driven stifling of free speech goes:

Merkel regime threatens critics of Greta -- Up to 3 years imprisonment for satires about Greta

“Fuck you, Greta” is now blasphemy against the warming cult & will be punished by the Merkel regime

Merkel regime threatens critics of Greta — Up to 3 years imprisonment for satires about Greta



Just the sticker alone “Fuck you Greta”, which for example a citizen stuck on his old Citroen, was considered an insult, according to the prosecutor.

Sorry. Allowing the falseness of this whole Greta thingy, and the ludicrous consequences, I find it kinda funny

That question was answered on the first page.


And the cacaphony on climate change from our elected reps is getting more shrill all the time. Say goodbye to your money people. I guarantee you will be able to keep less of it going forward. Climate change is a dream come true to greedy governments.

So now the goal posts have moved again, from leftists spending money to abuse this child to "this is quantifiably costing ME money."

Show me the money, please.

I saw Green Party leader quoting Greta yesterday I believe..

Most of don't have rich benefactors like Greta does..

Working families like mine bear the costs of carbon taxes.

While asking questions of the members, would you mind answering the question I posed to you.

Do you condone and support the use and exploitation of a 16 year old child for political propaganda?

I think that asking questions and seeking clarification is a better means of civil discourse than calling other members names or claiming to be able to read their minds.

As to your question, I had not previously seen it in all the tears and teeth gnashing. I'm happy to answer it.

That is not something I would do myself. I don't condone nor support it as a political tactic, but the line of "exploitation" is hard to draw. David Hogg, for example, has received lots of support after the Parkland shootings, but no one with deep pockets went out and recruited or kidnapped him. Rather, he arose from the graves of his friends with a bit of an attitude and set off by himself to do something. If he subsequently accepted financial aid in his quest, that is hardly "exploitation."

As to the Greta person, part of what I'm about in this thread is seeking to explore whether and to what degree she is being exploited, and if so, by whom.

I think it is just an excuse to raise taxes.

It's like times when a cyclone knocks out a banana plantation and straight away the price of bananas go up... or like recently there was a bombing somewhere and our petrol jumped to $1.60 a litre nearly.

I'm not going to buy into it...

Governments are running out of money. They want YOUR money and they do not care about you or your family.

Government do not care about us. Believing otherwise is wishful thinking I believe.
