Greta: "The climate movement does not need awards" -- OPEN DISCUSSION

[gfm7175]

Cypress never learns how this works, so here we go again... Pulling yet another one of his threads out of the Chamber of Echos...

Here is his OP in its entirety...

Turning down large sums of money and awards speaks to a sense of integrity and principle.
Undoubtedly, a type of integrity Donald Trump, garden variety politicians, and many message board posters lack.

The climate doesn't need awards': Greta Thunberg declines environmental prize

The teen activist implored politicians and people in power to ‘listen to the best available science’ in an Instagram post

The Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has refused to accept an environmental award, saying the climate movement needed people in power to start to “listen” to “science” and not awards.

The young climate activist, who has rallied millions to her “Fridays for Future” movement, was honoured at a Stockholm ceremony held by the Nordic Council, a regional body for inter-parliamentary cooperation.

She had been nominated for her efforts by both Sweden and Norway and won the organisation’s annual environment prize.

But after it was announced, a representative for Thunberg told the audience that she would not accept the award or the prize sum of 350,000 Danish kroner (about $52,000 or €46,800), the TT news agency reported.

She addressed the decision in a post on Instagram from the United States.

“The climate movement does not need any more awards,” she wrote.

“What we need is for our politicians and the people in power start to listen to the current, best available science.”

While thanking the Nordic Council for the “huge honour”, she also criticised Nordic countries for not living up to their “great reputation” on climate issues.

“There is no lack of bragging about this. There is no lack of beautiful words. But when it comes to our actual emissions and our ecological footprints per capita … then it’s a whole other story,” Thunberg said.

Turning down large sums of money and awards speaks to a sense of integrity and principle.

It can, but not always.

Undoubtedly, a type of integrity Donald Trump, garden variety politicians, and many message board posters lack.

Trump is currently turning down his Presidential salary and donating it away. According to what you just said above, that means that Trump has integrity and principle. So, which is it?

The Guardian dismissed on sight. I do not accept fake news nor smear merchants as sources.

** Greta doesn't know what "science" is. It is not 'consensus'. It is not a popularity contest. It is not a publication. It is not a university degree. etc. etc. etc... It is a set of falsifiable theories.

She is an icon of Leftwing HATE.

Blaming everyone for her "miserable" life except her parents.

Why does the Left not have an actual scientist as their icon of hate. Because s/he would actually be expected to be able to defend the hoax science predictions, which are indefensible.

The only 'scientists' they have are Climate 'scientists'. They deny both science and mathematics. They act like priests in the Church of Global Warming.

[gfm7175]

Uh oh, here comes 200 pages of right wing hate.

Not in the original thread... Most "right wingers" were blocked from that thread. But no worries, I have now created a parallel thread in which ANYONE can participate... even morons like you.

[gfm7175]

She's just another clueless radical loon.

Yup. Radicalized by her parents and "educators". It's quite sad to see them pump such irrational fears into a child.

[gfm7175]

You are like a caricature of a Limbaugh ditto head.

Have you ever tried thinking for yourself, instead of parroting gratuitous sound bites, tepid catchphrases, insipid jingoisms you inherited from Fox Noise?

Says the person who can only argue via "holy links" rather than form his own arguments...

[gfm7175]

A well-thought out, cogent response, grounded in the judicious exercise of human reason and independent thought.

Yes, I'm still waiting for one of these types of responses from you...

No, it speaks of religious fanatics.

Turning down awards and money is not integrity. It is religious fanaticism.

So she is a religious fanatic, trained up by her fanatical parents. I already knew this.

There is no science about climate.

“There is no lack of bragging about this. There is no lack of beautiful words. But when it comes to our actual emissions and our ecological footprints per capita … then it’s a whole other story,” Thunberg said.

Certainly no lack of bragging. This is exactly what Greta is doing.

Ah, the usual attacks on Rush Limbaugh and FOX network. You know, rejecting someone's arguments because of who they are, rather than what is in the argument itself, is a fallacy. It's called a bulverism fallacy.

An Icon of Liberal Hatred.

This really says it all, Bigdog.

SMART KID! Shows everyone of the 2 faced bastards (on both sides) what INTEGRITY is. Thank god for naivete.

This poor disturbed child has been exploited by the radical Democrat Socialists.

They should be ashamed.

What integrity?

Various external forces have pumped irrational fears into this child. She is now spending her life being scared of things which are not going to happen.

[gfm7175]

You seem like you are about 13 years old, which perhaps explains the lack of maturity, lack of clarity, lack of depth, and lack of intellectual content in your posts.

Insult Fallacy.
Inversion Fallacy.

I think if I see another Trumpkin with the "Trump is turning down his salary and donating it" bullshit I'm going to throw up, how naive can anyone be, yeah, he turns down the four hundred grand than books a weekend golf junket in Florida and charges the Gov't top dollar to house his entourage and SS protection, you didn't really think he travels to Florida just play golf did you
