SUV's are just as cheap/if not cheaper than electric cars. Once we start to see Electric SUV'S hopefully that will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, not that I know for sure, but having witnessed SUV's both on the road and in car parks I think there is a new rule which gives SUV drivers the right of way on any road, and also they are allowed 2 parking spaces, so there has to be some benefit in owning one, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 She's at it again. Can't she just sit quietly with an iPad like a normal child? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Time person of the year, youngest ever! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-50740324 I guess if she gets a bad school report due to poor attendance she 's got a better excuse than most of us have ever had!

She cant really complain about the Media being interested in her travels if she is choosing to make those posts as they were clearly posted with an agenda. Probably should have left it alone, all of us have stood/not had a seat on trains before, we dont post about it. The rail company have a point as it could easily be interpreted she had to travel all the way home with no seat. She may need to learn she should tell the whole story, not just the part that suits.

I think we're also in danger of missing her point. When C*rbyn was photographed sitting on the floor of a train - the angle was - UK trains are crap and don't put on enough carriages for demand Thunberg's post was actually celebrating the fact that German trains are full - because it's a good, cheap and quick service - and people use it over and above cars for long journeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i admit i have only read the headline. Clearly the rail company misunderstood too. I must admit though using the word overcrowded doesn't really suggest a celebration.

Highgate Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 There are so many people so eager to criticize Greta or laugh at her they think she has made a mistake. Because if she's not perfect, climate change isn't real. I think that's how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what she is doing us great. But pick the right battles not the ones that will take away from the real messages you want to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making a general point about what Greta seems to be up against in the media and in social media. Wouldn't be easy for anyone, let alone someone so young. Some people really seem to dislike her. But yeah, the more she doesn't get distracted from her core message the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't read any of them, except the one displayed on this page. All that matters is getting people to finally realize the inevitable and deadly global consequences of continually adding GHGs to the atmosphere. Anyone doing that on a large scale is one of the good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't follow current events closely anymore ... I hadn't even seen her until this week. I found her incredibly annoying and pretty bizaare. Sorry, I know that is very un-PC and no doubt says a lot about me...but I couldn't watch more than a minute before she registerd a 10 on the 'grating as hell' scale and turned her off.
