???? climate scam
Let's call it what it is…a money grab. The only reason to sue at all is for money, and if you can actually acknowledge that, then the rest falls into place, which ever side it falls to.
Waiting for the legions of old people criticizing the actions of the young
Now you know why the military likes them young. A moldable mind, like putty.
Climate activists are the new terrorists. Save yourself the tax payers money get rid of these 6 in coordinated ambush. Make it look like an accident. Oops!
Are they going to take mother nature to court? ???
Everyone see the result of indoctrination, the Thunberg effect, a creed of a religious nature that cannot be confronted under penalty of heresy in the final analysis based on factoids and hidden corporate interests, which aim to divert attention from more urgent social discussions such as analyzing the accounts of the state how money is being spent, the accumulation of resources in the hands of a few, the alignment of state and corporations to exploit civil society as much as possible through tax burdens and price manipulation, difficulty for civil society to get a job and pay the bills a ceiling on your head and three meals on the table a day, the pollution embedded in the green agenda, the proliferation of global entities without elected leaders with salaries and privileges disconnected from reality.
Just think that it is the media that is the front car of this train, the media is not interested in your well-being, the media wants to sell ads and get clicks, they don't care about the confusion they generate, the media feeds on confusion. The more we fight with each other the better it is for the media's annual balance sheet, they feed on conflicts.
The fact is that the climate has never been stable, in the time of dinosaurs the planet was much warmer and there were no polar ice caps. Warming from a historical point of view has never been considered a problem, cooling on the contrary has harmful effects on the biosphere and in the 70s it was feared that we were entering into cooling, now suddenly warming has become a problem, "scientists all agree", "the studies show", scientists do not agree on practically anything among themselves, academic disputes are brutal and now, all scientists agree, this is the first. And the people who literally sell this narrative are the media, any ideas why?
But if we don't have a planet, nothing else matters, you ask? The only real threat to the survival of this planet is the atomic threat, but since this threat doesn't fit into the narrative, let's pretend it doesn't exist, Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" didn't materialize, no problem, change the name and the media continues selling crises as ever.
the climate grift is real.
. . . about geoengineering and microwave technologies controlloing the weather? . . .otherwise they are just useful idiots to the powers that should not be.
European representatives, it's crucial that you visit places like Serra da Estrela in Portugal, including the natural parks, to witness the dire situation firsthand. The mismanagement, corruption, and inappropriate use of funds are not only jeopardizing the environment but also undermining the very essence of these natural treasures.
Even within the natural parks, it's disheartening to see irresponsible actions, such as the planting of fire-prone species like eucalyptus and pine, instead of focusing on native tree species. The Portuguese state's oversight in these areas is questionable at best.
We urgently need your intervention to ensure that European funds are used responsibly and effectively to protect our natural parks and preserve the unique ecosystems they contain. Please take action now to address these pressing issues. Just go there to see what is happening.
There has been no increase in hurricanes, droughts, floods, heatwaves,
wildfires, sea levels, or Earth surface temperatures. You may have
sipped, but don't guzzle the Kool-Aid, there is no "Climate Crisis" and
the Ukraine is not winning anything. Stop the madness. CO2 is good, natural disasters have happened many times in the past, and they are becoming less. They are brainwashing these children, it has to stop.
Great! Sadly so-called grown ups as me are set to destroy our planet
