I just get a kick out of Dr Greta Thunberg predicting the world will end every 4 years. Oh wait her latest cause is Palestine.

Can you explain to me what it's like to live inside a body which is full of contempt for the suffering of your fellow human beings ?

When I observe someone suffering .... it hurts me to know that they're suffering. Some people have the constitution of nurses .... they have that kind and caregiving orientation and an empathic response.

You get a kick out of other people's suffering. That suggests that you have a strong sadistic side of you.

You're also manufacturing comments which you are attributing to Greta that she has never made. She frequently discusses the carbon budget and the short amount of time we have to reduce emissions to avoid passing tipping points. She never claims the world will end in a few years.

But the fact that you make **** up is less noteworthy than your sadism. Do you think that's a genetic predisposition or is it something you learned from your childhood environment?

Tens of thousands of children have been killed or starved to death in Gaza. Most have lost their homes.

And you mock people for caring about it. What's wrong with you ?

Iirc she said that if we don't take decisive action in ten years we'll be at a point of no return with respect to Climate Change.

a) what does this have to do with your sadism and mockery of Greta ?

b) I'm not the guy who is promoting widespread personal EV use. I'm the guy promoting community shared vehicles to reduce environmental footprint.

C'mon .... be honest with us. Describe the pleasure you experience when people suffer.

No I believe climate change is real but folks like Greta hurt the cause . I also realize reality is greed will always put weight what we need to do .

folks like Greta hurt the cause .

How do they hurt the cause ?

And why do you get a kick from her angst ?

It's like Al Gore and the Inconvenient Truth were most of the predictions never came about . I do believe Great predicted the end of the world do to climate change last year or year before that .

And before Gore there were false prophets (as it were) like Thomas Malthus and Paul Ehrlich.

Oh you believe that? It would be really easy to show a source on that then.

Spoiler alert: it was made up by Joe Rogan.


In the late 1970's Lowell Ponty and a number of scientists were warning about an impending Ice Age. Time had a feature article about them.

So you create fiction and believe that it's real.

You're a delusional sadist.

Google it she shared a scientist tweet that the climate change would end the world .


You certainly have an interesting mind lozen.

You get a rush out of the suffering of others and it's based upon what you imagine about them.

Your mind is manufacturing scenarios which perpetuate some kind of adrenalin rush loop. It doesn't require any real-world support. It just invents things to feed to your inner beast.

Self-awareness involves the ability to step outside oneself and explore one's behavior through an objective lens. I doubt that you possess those qualities.

If googling it is so easy, then share a link.

No I just accept reality the only thing that will solve climate change is technology or a pandemic that wipes out half the population.

What about a massive nuclear holocaust that kills 99% of life on earth?

Let's be humble and recognize that none of us have a comprehensive grasp of reality. We don't understand what we don't sense.

You don't understand why Greta is so angry because you don't personally experience the pain of a darkening future. So you can't have empathy for her pain.

You imagine that other people are like you inside ..... that's why you can't imagine people cooperating and agreeing to degrowth policy. Your lack of vision is saddening. But survival trumps all other consideration and nature is going to steer people toward cooperation on degrowth.

I don't know everything either. I clearly don't understand what it's like to be so impermeable to suffering and injustice. To be so cruel. Loxen, how does it feel to embody the brutal energy in nature?

Yellowstone caldera eruption would shake things up.

Yep i was thinking super volcano as well. (A lessor discussed issue with climate change is that it may lead to increased volcanic & earthquake activity. Rising sea water is heavy.)

Or the coming of the final parenthesis
