A LETTER FROM A CONSTITUENT ABOUT HOW HE ADVISED HIS TEENAGE DAUGHTER ON 'CLIMATE CHANGE'

Dear Craig,

After our daughter of fifteen years of age was moved to tears by the speech of Greta Thunberg at the UN the other day, she became angry with our generation "who had been doing nothing for thirty years"

So, we decided to help her prevent what the girl on TV announced of "massive eradication and the disappearance of entire ecosystems".

We are now committed to give our daughter a future again, by doing our part to help cool the planet four degrees.

From now on she will go to school on a bicycle, because driving her by car costs fuel, and fuel puts emissions into the atmosphere. Of course it will be winter soon and then she will want to go by bus, but cycling through the freezing builds resilience.

Of course, she is now asking for an electric bicycle, but we have shown her the devastation caused to the areas of the planet as a result of mining for the extraction of Lithium and other minerals used to make batteries for electric bicycles, so she will be pedaling, or walking. Which will not harm her, or the planet. We used to cycle and walk to school too.

Since the girl on TV demanded "we need to get rid of our dependency on fossil fuels" and our daughter agreed with her, we have disconnected the heat vent in her room. The temperature is now dropping to twelve degrees in the evening, and will drop below freezing in the winter, we have promised to buy her an extra sweater, hat, tights, gloves and a blanket.

For the same reason we have decided that from now on she only takes a cold shower. She will wash her clothes by hand, with a wooden washboard, because the washing machine is simply a power consumer and since the dryer uses natural gas, she will hang her clothes on the clothes line to dry, just like my parents and grandparents used to do.

Speaking of clothes, the ones that she currently has are all synthetic, so made from petroleum. Therefore on Monday, we will bring all her designer clothing to the secondhand shop.

We have found an eco store where the only clothing they sell is made from undyed and unbleached linen and jute. Also can't have clothes made on wool, because the emissions from farting sheep are supposedly causing bad weather.

It shouldn't matter that it looks good on her, or that she is going to be laughed at, dressing in colorless, bland clothes and without a wireless bra, but that is the price she has to pay for the benefit of The Climate.

Cotton is out of the question, as it comes from distant lands and pesticides are used for it. Very bad for the environment.

We just saw on her Instagram that she's pretty angry with us. This was not our intention.

From now on, at 7 p.m. We will turn off the WiFi and we will only switch it on again the next day after dinner for two hours. In this way we will save on electricity, so she is not bothered by electro-stress and will be totally isolated from the outside world. This way, she can concentrate solely on her homework. At eleven o'clock in the evening we will pull the breaker to shut the power off to her room, so she knows that dark is really dark. That will save a lot of CO2.

She will no longer be participating in winter sports to ski lodges and resorts, nor will she be going on anymore vacations with us, because our vacation destinations are practically inaccessible by bicycle.

Since our daughter fully agrees with the girl on TV that the CO2 emissions and footprints of her great-grandparents are to blame for 'killing our planet', what all this simply means, is that she also has to live like her great-grandparents and they never had a holiday, a car or even a bicycle.

We haven't talked about the carbon footprint of food yet.

Zero CO2 footprint means no meat, no fish and no poultry, but also no meat substitutes that are based on soy (after all, that grows in farmers fields, that use machinery to harvest the beans, trucks to transport to the processing plants, where more energy is used, then trucked to the packaging/canning plants, and trucked once again to the stores) 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 homegrown potatoes, vegetables and fruit that have been grown in local cold soil, because greenhouses run on boilers, piped in CO2 and artificial light. Apparently, these things are also bad for The Climate. We will teach her how to grow her own food.

Bread is still possible, but butter, milk, cheese and yogurt, cottage cheese and cream come from cows and they emit CO2. No more margarine and no oils will be used for the frying pan, because that fat is palm oil from plantations in Borneo where rain forests first grew.

No ice cream in the summer. No soft drinks and no energy drinks, as the bubbles are CO2.

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 the amount of energy a blast furnace consumes or an aluminum smelter? All bad for the climate!

We will replace her memory foam pillow top mattress, with a jute bag filled with straw, with a horse hair pillow.

And finally, she will no longer be using makeup, soap, shampoo, cream, lotion, conditioner, toothpaste and medication. Facewashers will all be linen, that she can wash by hand, with her wooden washboard, just like her female ancestors did before climate change made her angry at us for destroying her future.

In this way we will help her to do her part to prevent mass extinction, water levels rising and the disappearance of entire ecosystems.

If she truly believes she wants to walk the talk of the girl on TV, she will gladly accept and happily embrace her new way of life.

Regards,
(Name Withheld)

she's an autistic child who's been brainwashed. her parents need to be charged with child abuse and thrown in jail along with losing 100% of their parental rights.

that poor kid is just a misguided pawn. nothing more, nothing less.
 
she believe's this stuff she says.

she's autistic, OCD and terrified from nightmares which have been fueled by the adults in her life feeding her this stuff.

she really believes that the world ends in 10 years or so.

you'd be pretty mad too.
 
Catch up fellas. It’s not ‘climate change’ anymore. New names are in the works. Climate Chaos and Polar Meltdown are popular choices...

100%


I guess Greta's not the only mental case.

yup.

pretty much a textbook case of gaslighting. and as noted above a textbook case of child abuse.

she deserves to be mad - shes just mad at the wrong thing... if she ever finds out how she was used and manipulated she should be furious at the people who should have been caring for her and not using her for their political/social agenda's.
 
No matter about Greta. She has problems but its awfully hard to say climate change is a hoax. There's way to many scientists around the world that says its real. Just because Trump says its not doesn't mean it isn't. I tend to believe the people that have the knowledge. To each their own.
 
i dont think anyone's suggesting that we can be all willy nilly and just trash our planet... every place could stand to do some cleanup and work towards being better stewards of our home. however...

what we're being fed as the current political narrative of climate change is 150% hoax. it has been for decades now.

in our lifetimes alone we've somehow escaped a whole list of doomsday predictions.... you'd think by escaping all these disasters is the equivalent of hitting the lottery every 6 months or so for a decade straight.

just a few of the predictions that have not come to pass (in no peticular order)

*ice age by the 80's/90's
*the predicted hockey stick co2 explosion from al gore
*the world food shortage famines that were supposed to hit in the 70's or 80's that would bring on both food and water rationing even here in the usa
*the hole in the ozone layer
*acid rain wiping out all life in our lakes
*sea levels rising 6+ feet in the 90's
*the Maldives were supposed to be underwater by 2018 (assuming of course they didnt run out of drinking water by 2000)
*the Hudson river flooding over onto the westside highway in NYC
*famine by 2012 if everyone doesnt give up eating meat
*England having the climate of Siberia by next year (this could still come true i guess... we wont know until 2021)
*the arctic being free of sea ice by 2018
*the polar ice caps melting by 2013
*the arctic free ice releasing a methane gas catastrophe by 2015.....


the list goes on and on...




lets take a look at this from a practical viewpoint. if the climate change story we're being told is true - how the [beeep] can the real estate market continue to go up on coastal property? wouldnt there HAVE to be a disclaimer in there about potentially buying a property that will be underwater in a few years (well before your standard 30 yr mortgage is paid off). there's no way in [beeep] underwriters would approve loans for those properties if there was ANY shred of actual evidence that we're all going to be drowned due to climate change melting everything. those folks have a fiduciary responsibility to their money loaning stakeholders to notify them about things like this when their investment $$ are going towards backing a loan with that kind of risk.

[beeep]... the Obama's just signed on the dotted line for a $15 million dollar waterfront estate on Martha's vineyard. if he really believed in the climate change narrative... wouldnt he have been better served to purchase a $15 million dollar estate on top of a mountain now while property values were still down on those soon to be coveted high-ground properties?
 
The climate is always changing....used to be that cattle were grazed in Greenland in places that are now covered in sheets of ice. Just looking at what historical evidence is available it appears to be cyclic, about like everything else in the natural world.

As for scientists, well, used to be that they thought smoking had positive benefits.
 
it's either an existential threat or it's not.

if it is, or if you actually believe that it is, then you do everything in your power to not contribute to it.

now, take a good look at all of the people telling us that it is. after you do, please tell me which ones are actually doing everything -or even a reasonable amount- to substantially reduce their carbon footprint?

I'm not seeing any. I'm seeing a lot of people who are pretty well off & able to afford what they want, even if it become very expensive, demanding that everyone who can't afford such a change just do without. All in the name of saving the planet.

If they really believed what they're saying, they wouldn't fly private planes all over. They wouldn't own homes that could house several typical families. They wouldn't be doing a lot of what they're doing, yet they do it anyway.

This tells me that no, they really don't believe that it's so dire a threat. So if they don't even buy their own crap, why should I?

The climate has always changed. It's been much colder as well as much hotter than it is now. There is no question that it's changing.

What I question are the solutions that are being demanded.
