    I thought leftists wanted humans to die out anyway. So global warming or climate change or whatever should be awesome for y'all.

    You seem to have confused Democrats for anarchist lunatics. There may be a small contingent of people wishing for the end of mankind, but that is an extreme ideology that has nothing to do with left or right politics.

    Not necessarily. Greta Thunburg is a brainless idiot. But the Democrats line up to worship her every fart. Dude, look at the media who want to eat her crap as she sails to the miiddle east.

    The whole point of a child going to the elderly leaders was to make them think about the future they were leaving behind for their children and children's children.

    If you think a child has more real world experience than an adult. Man, I am sorry for you.

    I didn't say that. All I said was that sending a child to remind the elders that they're not the last generation and they need to plan ahead for everybody else was a good point. It's often remarked upon that boomers have been quite selfish compared to their forefathers. They take everything and leave nothing for their children. How's that for generalizing?

    Some studies have shown CO2 levels were up to 5x higher in the past than today. Humans weren't the cause of that.

    Good point. What I was getting at is that folks need to pick a proper hero. Greta is not a hero in any way shape or form.

    And did we have massive crop failures when that was happening? Oh wait! No, I don't think there were any humans around at that point. Just because it happened in the past doesn't mean it would be a good thing if it happened again.
