Stole this off a friends Face book page.


Some food for thought!!!

After our daughter of fifteen was moved to tears from the speech of Gretha Thunberg yesterday, and became angry with our generation "who had been doing nothing for thirty years", we decided to help her to prevent what the girl on TV announced "massive eradication and the disappearance of entire ecosystems".
So we are going to give our daughter a future again. And cool the planet four degrees. We do this as follows:
From now on she will go to school on a bicycle, because bringing her by car costs fuel. Of course it will be winter soon and then she wants to go by bus, but as long as it is a diesel bus, that does not seem to be conducive to the Climate. Now, of course, she is asking for an electric bicycle, but we have shown her the devastation caused by nature as a result of the Lithium extraction, so it just becomes pedaling. Good for her, we used to cycle to school too.
To get used to "getting rid of the gas" we have disconnected the radiator in her room. It is now dropping to twelve degrees in the evening, but it could sometimes freeze in the winter. In that case we have promised that she will receive an extra sweater, hat, tights and gloves.
For the same reason we have agreed that from now on she only takes a cold shower. From now on she will wash clothes herself, with the washboard, because the washing machine is simply a power consumer and the tumble dryer even more. That is of course no longer possible.
Speaking of the clothes that she now has are all synthetic, so made from petroleum. On Monday we therefore bring everything to the secondhand shop. We have found an eco store where only clothing is sold from unpainted and unbleached linen, wool and jute. We do not think that it looks good on her, even that she is going to be laughed at so colorless and without a bra, but that is what she has to pay for the benefit for The Climate. Cotton is out of the question, it comes from distant lands and pesticides are used for it.
We just saw on her Instagram that she got pretty angry. This was not the intention. But later on at 7 p.m. we will turn off the WiFi and it will only switch on again tomorrow after dinner. In this way we save electricity, she is not bothered by electro-stress and she is totally isolated from the outside world, so that she can concentrate better on her homework. At eleven o'clock in the evening we take the power off, dark is really dark. That saves a lot of CO2.
She is no longer going on winter sports. She is no longer going on any vacation, because our vacation destinations are practically inaccessible with a bicycle. Back to the CO2 emissions and footprint of your great-grandparents simply means that you also live like your great-grandparents and they never had a holiday or even a bicycle.
We haven't talked about food yet. No CO2 imprint means no meat, no fish and no poultry, but also no meat substitutes based on soy (after all, that grows where rainforests used to be) and also no imported food, because that has a negative ecological effect. And absolutely no chocolate from Africa, no coffee from South America and no tea from Asia.
Only Dutch potatoes, vegetables and fruit, therefore, and only from the cold soil, because greenhouses run on boilers, CO2 and artificial light. That is bad for The Climate. Bread is still possible, but butter, milk and eggs, cheese and yogurt, cottage cheese and cream come from chickens and cows and they emit CO2. No more margarine and nothing from the frying pan, because that fat is palm oil from plantations on Borneo where rain forests first grew. No ice creams in the summer. No wine. No soft drinks and no beer, these bubbles are CO2. She wanted to lose some pounds, well, that will work.
We will also ban all plastic, because it comes from chemical factories. Everything made of steel and aluminum must also be removed. Have you ever seen what an energy such a blast furnace consumes or an aluminum smelter? And finally, she no longer receives makeup, soap, shampoo, cream, lotion, conditioner, toothpaste and medication, and the sanitary napkin is made of linen. Just like before.
In this way we want to prevent mass extinction and the disappearance of entire ecosystems. For her.
She believes in it.

Run the world into the ground and then blame the children for it. Seems fair to me.

Shut it all down, let them live a winter as our great grandparents did, only thing is wood heat is bad, no cell phones, better put food up for winter. No fridge, no power can you say outhouse? Bathing once every 2weeks to a month. Running water consisted of you take a bucket and run and get it. Till we come up with viable alternatives we need oil and gas. WAKE UP!!

There is no talking common sense with climate retards.


And in about 2 years from now when the earth starts its cooling, it will not be global warming causing global cooling. It will be a 30 year cooling predicted in advance by real scientist who are not affiliated with the carbon tax cartel or the corrupt UN. These same scientist also predicting it will be 2.5c warmer by the year 2600 with a 97% accuracy. If their calculations are correct, the carbon tax thieves will have a hard time justifying their charades. Hopefully they will be forced to pay it back.

The only emergency here is somehow getting people to come to their senses.
The sheeple of this generation believe everything they read on the Internet and are told by the government. Good luck with waking them up to the truth!

If scientific consensus is that climate change is real then I must ask you what other topics you think that scientists are wrong about?

really depends on who you call scientists, and what they are qualified to give an opinion on?

Ohhhhhh ok so you trust science 99.9999999% for everything that doesn’t conflict with oil company profitability. Got it.

Bill Nye and David Suzuki :cool:
Both are hypocrites and full of sh!t! Not saying we have not helped it along, saying since the last ice age the planet has warmed and will continue to warm till the next ice age when we become the next fossil fuel. Why is it the moment a scientist speaks against climate change they are silenced?

I take it you ride sleds, drive cars, heat your home. Don't be a hypocrite? Till a viable alternative comes up we need oil and gas!

I do all of those things. I don’t have an all or nothing attitude when it comes to fossil fuels. If there is something that has an available option then I will consider making the switch. If you don’t think technology is going to impact the profitability of the oil industry in the long term then I don’t think you’re paying attention imo.
