Greta


Facebook reply to a post that asked if Boomers should be allowed to vote since they aren't behind Greta and her insanity!

:Okay, I can’t let this pass…. I tired and I’m just amazed at the Jacobin attitudes that pass as acceptable.


You are both either ignorant of the facts or willfully obtuse.


The baby boomers (full disclosure, I “officially” qualify as the last year or two of the boomers) inherited a literal shit hole of a world! For goodness sakes rivers were not just metaphorically burning but were actually burning!


This little shi….nning example of an spoiled and self admitted sufferer of mental illnesses has been handed not a golden world, but a world that is on the verge of being a platinum status world!


This little girl, who can’t comprehend the complexities of the actual world because she managed to cuck her parents into quitting their successful careers so as to not hurt her feelings! Yet, she can’t comprehend that she can go to the store every day of the year and get raspberries….in Sweden! Thank you baby boomers! As a child the stores we went to had apples (one variety), oranges (sometimes) and grapes!


Baby boomers have:
- Created a world where the abject poverty is the lowest in human history (capitalism, not through any government program)
- Given us a world where for the first time in human history the majority of the population is either in the middle class in their nation or the upper class!
- Increased the daily caloric intake of the average person in the world by over 1000 kc/day primarily in protein reducing world hunger to the lowest points in history!
- Made it so more people have moved from the lower class in the US to the middle class then have moved down. And more have moved from the middle to the upper class
- Created a truck (Ford Ranger) that is so efficient that the emissions from the exhaust actually have less harmful (not co2, but real pollutants) then enter the vehicle in California emissions tests! The truck is cleaning the air of real illness causing pollutants.
- Given us the clean air act, clean water act, EPA, endangered species act, and ….. The first earth day!
- Have reforested much of the US back to levels not seen since the 1700’s
- So embraced nature that eagles are now creating homes in the suburbs!
- Opened up dental and vision treatments to a greater percentage of the world population then ever, imagine being able to eat and to see, and to read!
- Eliminated diseases and illnesses, in some cases even making those thought a death sentence to manageable levels.
- Created prosperity that allows for the cleaning of the world….there is a direct correlation between the two.
- Rebuilt a world that was nearly destroyed by previous generations…a world where deaths from war were increasing exponentially until nearly 10,000,000 were dying each and every year. For the past 70 years that average has been steady around 1,000,000 (that includes civil wars and coups).
- Have returned more antiquities and relics to indigenous peoples and nations, outlawed their transfer, returned pilfered artwork to families decimated in the past ---- this was unheard of in human history. Rape and pillage is human nature!


I could go on, you know I could go on and on and on.
This generation has been handed a world where anything is possible … because of generations before, the same generations she demonizes and hates….and you two sound like your on the same path!


100 years ago she would have been expected to be married perhaps with kids (of course Sweden had it’s eugenics programs following WWII so perhaps she would have been sterilized since she has her admitted mental illness – check out her Tedtalk!) Work the farm or run the home. Yet here she is able to lecture us all about how we have ruined her life – selfish B….eauty! Go out and invent scrubbers to remove Co2….oh wait those exist but aren’t yet cost effective, but will be in the near future.


100 years ago it is most likely Adam could not have been a vegan!


In my lifetime we have dramatically cleaner air and water (worldwide), less disease, less poverty yet the generations after mine have started to roll that back! We have dysentery in LA for goodness sakes! Some nations are having rolling black outs because their green power is unreliable. Imagine your O2 generator battery being dead and the power goes out because Greta is butthurt!


We have DCFS locking kids in offices in Rockford – here at home – because of a lack of foster parents (in part because of over regulating and having a state that ranks the lowest in payment levels due to corruption and buying votes with other people's money) yet we have monthly protests about a border that is 1500 miles away – why because it makes us feel good and is virtue signaling! Your protest isn’t going to change a damn thing and isn’t going to help those kids sleeping in a locked office downtown! Yet God forbid we make parents feel bad about having kids out of wedlock.


We have trash in Rockford, hell we have some of the worst EPA Superfund clean up sites in the nation and yet we feel good if we protest a pipeline or greenhouse gasses that feeds us and allows us to live, invent, and prosper.


Kids are going to walk out of school and not be environmentalists. They didn't even clean up after their own protests last week! But they will virtue signal. They won't all plant trees, they won't raise funds to clean the water in Flint or even here at home!


For the US to go 100% green by 2030 it would take a land mass the size of the state of CA. (solar and wind). And then you would need the transmission lines. Modern nuclear is now safe and produces virtually no waste, as a matter of fact the free market is currently producing nuclear reactors that will eat the waste of the old generation plants – solving the problem of storage. Yet that isn’t even considered. Over 10% of the blades from windmills are not recyclable and are now being buried in landfills because, as with everything they wear out. Anyone hear that one before? They are huge!


Studies have show that gasoline powered vehicles are cleaner for the environment then electric in both Co2 and traditional environmental concerns due to the mining and transport required for building the vehicles yet we are all supposed to pay thousands more for these? What about that truck I mentioned above, I'll take of those.


We could go back to horses, but the cities were hell holes due to the hundreds of horse deaths each week – all decomposing and producing greenhouse gasses as well as the horse shit that was everywhere! Cities stank with a stench that would make you vomit!


It’s all about power and control, not the environment. And you have no control over it despite your protests.


The world isn’t ending in 12 years, the report actually states that if we do nothing the WORST case scenario is that world economic growth will be between 2 and 9% less then it would be if we addressed the issue in the next 12 years. Average world income would be $90,000 instead of $98,000. Poor Greta!!! Your live will be so much harder! Of course if we did everything needed to address the issue in 12 years there would be up to a 16% impact to world GDP in that same 12 years. The report also states that there is low confidence that cyclones, tornadoes, and more importantly DROUGHTS are being driven by climate change.


Every few years the leading economists from the world (more then 300 of them) get together to create the Copenhagen Consensus which asks…given the facts in evidence today how could the funds proposed for climate change best be spent….every time climate change mitigation is near the bottom of the list. Why? Because those funds could provide every human with food, clean water, and medical care!


That is the problem with those who think our betters and smarters – those who are meant to tell us how to live – they never take into account human ingenuity. Their rules tend to restrict and limit human’s potential for solving problems. When allowed freedom and the opportunity to better their lives (free markets) they will inevitably prosper and succeed and solve the problems as we have -- and boomers did a big part!


A friend of mine had a drug problem and almost died a couple times in the late 80’s early 90’s. He takes full responsibility for his actions however he has stated repeatedly that the doomsday predictions on TV, in the media, and at school convinced him that here was no point in even going to school any more and he dropped out. A big trigger was “The Day After” shown in his class – Reagan the the evil old people were going to destroy the world so why bother! We heard this same thing this week from teens testifying before congress and it is truly sad. It worries me more for Fred that he will hear this so often and begin to believe it and give up like Greta did then climate change does.


And kids like Greta are nothing more then spoiled children who, like Veruca Salt didn’t get her way!


Your comments truly shocked me. Either forgetting history because of your cushy 21st century life or, and as Greta says, your evil and I refuse to believe that!


Sorry for the long rant and taking over your thread -- Okay, of everything I said in this post that last line was the only one that wasn't true, lol!
