Looking forward to this moment. The mainstream media are responsible for objectifying people like this, why? because the mainstream population are frankly suckers for it and will follow the lead sheep, irrespective of who that person is.

all orchestrated imo, someone somewhere is making money out of this whole thing, was it on here that someone mentioned the boat trip was farcical, it had a diesel back up engine and all the crew flew back home

Bound to be more than a few Presidents, Obama, Clinton, Reagan etc. I suspect we might have a Pope or two as well

I know an actor, who was a child actor and often away from school on set. He received tuition and got good enough A level results to attend University and got a degree in English. There are different ways to be educated than sitting in a class room. Private, one on one, tuition is probably better academically than sitting in a classroom.
Fair play to Greta, and her mother, it has brought the whole climate debate into the forefront of the news where is needs to be. Hypocritically though I'm still driving emission laden ICE cars and will do until I'm not longer able to. On other things, packaging etc, I do try to be as low impact as possible. I just can't get excited about driving a milk float.

You don’t have to live in a hedge naked to give a shite, though. Your car likely isn’t one of your worst filthy habits. I know mine isn’t, therefore it’s not at the top of my filthy habits to pack in list. Eating less meat is my thing, along with wasting less money buying **** I don’t need (such as a new iPhone when my old iPhone still works just fine). win:win on that front.

Got to be Bill Gates and Steve Jobs I'm guessing at some point.

The meat thing doesn’t make sense to me. Grass grows fixes carbon from the air, gets eaten by cow, carbon gets released into air. It’s a cycle. Fossil fuels though are releasing carbon that’s been locked out of the cycle for millions of years.

Methane gets released, which is a far more potent greenhouse gas (possibly)
Also, from an energetic stance it's massively less efficient than eating veg. That is you need to rear more animals = disproportionately more methane

I read that the global methane produced from cows alone creates more greenhouse gases than the whole category of Transport combined globally. This includes shipping, aviation and all motor vehicles on the planet combined.
If this is true it is not difficult to see how we can start to make some every simple, quick and effective reductions.
I also read that a third of all global food productions is required to feed the animals that we eat.
I am no vegan/vegetarian warrior but if this is true maybe we are just eating a little too much meat.
It is all about balance and sustainability. We seem to be consuming and demanding far too much of many things that is just not sustainable. The growth rate of global population is the route source cause and commencement of all of this. If we reduce global population we reduce demand. If we then reduce demand by both efficiencies and habit changes we make massive inroads into making a real change and dent in reductions of greenhouse gases.
Until global govts align in their thoughts and actions, true meaningful global change is never going to happen. The consequences are known to an extent so seems odd we really don't get off our 4rses and really do something about it.

there is a solution, wonder if it's been patented, might do a dragons den

Can Harvesting Cow Gas Slow Global Climate Change? | Gadgets, Science & Technology
Humans have no doubt contributed to climate change, but one of the biggest culprits is actually the methane released by cows. Researchers at Argentina's Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia Agropecuaria (INTA) want to harness that methane as a clean, renewable form of biofuel - by having the cows...
