But she is getting people to 'shame' governments who are doing something though. As I pointed out she has repeatedly targeted us as one of the worse offenders and British kids have been one of the biggest group of kids attacking our governments actions but we are the country who is leading the way. We are basically the only country whose starting point is at greenhouse gas production being at pre-1900 level and our targets exceed the Paris Agreement levels and as I mentioned we have it enshrined in law rather than flimsy agreements of other countries. People should be applauding what the U.K. government has been doing not just recently but all the way back to the 90's

Something I did just find out is she apparently has Aspergers and I do wonder if people are exploiting some of the common characteristics of someone with Aspergers for their own motives.

 

The Paris Agreement though is a proper plan, it was something using all the evidence and the opinions of a range of scientists as well as working out what was economically possible and that would limit the temperature increase to 2 degrees between now and 2050. The figure they agreed on was 40% reduction which gives time for green tech to mature, become cheaper and more efficient while giving the necessary lead time. Her and the extreme scientists she is taking the lead from want 80% by 2030. When 70% comes from the 'energy' industry and it takes a decade and vast amounts of money to design, build and fully open a new power station that goal is impossible without shutting down power stations without replacements. And Green Energy production is massively inefficient, a typical coal power station produces 2000MW, the latest wind Turbines produce 8KW each max so that's 250 needed to replace coal. And each turbine needs a half a square mile so thats in total 125 sq Miles. To put that into perspective The Isle of White is only 150sq miles. And with limited places that you can place them to ensure they are working for the maximum amount of time and with significant consideration having to put into placement from a Human health pov and the impact on wildlife they just aren't good enough right now to have the kind of impact she wants.

And sure yes there are some 'rougue' leaders being a problem but she largely shys away from attacking the likes of China and US. She prefers to openly attack the UK, the leader in tackling the issue rather than those not pulling their weight. Most likely because of the US and China get a greater free pass even from the most hardcore climate change scientists because as a scientist these two countries are the source of most scientific funding right now so they don't want to call them out and risk funding but we are an easy target especially right now as we are basically disliked by 90% of the world for one reason or another

As for saying she only stared him down, she stopped herself sticking her tongue out at him and got more emotional including crying that she doesn't usually. It's out of charahcter especially taking into account her Aspergers. And no-one is denying Trump is prone to throwing a tantrum, as he actually has on twitter by mocking her

 

And the craziest thing is France is one of them, France who are the nearest to doing what we have done and enshrine it in law and like us at levels above what the Paris Agreement requires, who have recently committed more money to it and who were the ones who really pushed for G7 to commit money to fight the Amazon fire.

I'm actually surprised we aren't one of them included tbh. Although I'm guessing she must have been steered away from doing so knowing that if she did she would lose with us being ahead of the required targets

 

Which part. If it's her suing countries (It's actually 5, not 15 though. The 15 figure is how many other kids she has roped into doing this) then its true

 

Nope its totally legit. Go check any news website
