Greta Thunberg: Time Person of the Year

[Weatherman2020]

Still using that fake news? Hilarious.

'You Have Stolen My Dreams And My Childhood,' Says Girl Currently Gracing Cover Of Time Magazine

You have a point somewhere?

Other than you humiliating yourself by saying children should have input into government policies?
No.

Children have a right to an opinion
Even if they are President

Using children as human shields shows how low you’ve gone.

You support stealing children at the border as a deterrent. That is lower than low

 

[Weatherman2020]

I guess that’s the least Time can do for her since we stole her childhood from her.

It is sad that our children can not depend on the adults to pull their heads out of their fat asses & believe the science & take action. But noooooooooooo, you stupid fucks worship a "stable genius" who is so fucking stupid that he calls climate change a hoax.

Is that why you use children as human shields?

 

[idb]

So Greta, honey, what will ewe replace fossil fuels with?

You are so right!!!
It's really hard so why bother trying?!!!

 

[westwall]

They can't reproduce their own experiments which makes what they do a pseudo science

Stupid lie.

No, it's a fact. We know you don't do facts though.

Applying organized scepticism to ocean acidification research


Abstract
“Ocean acidification” (OA), a change in seawater chemistry driven by increased uptake of atmospheric CO2 by the oceans, has probably been the most-studied single topic in marine science in recent times. The majority of the literature on OA report negative effects of CO2 on organisms and conclude that OA will be detrimental to marine ecosystems. As is true across all of science, studies that report no effect of OA are typically more difficult to publish. Further, the mechanisms underlying the biological and ecological effects of OA have received little attention in most organismal groups, and some of the key mechanisms (e.g. calcification) are still incompletely understood. For these reasons, the ICES Journal of Marine Science solicited contributions to this special issue. In this introduction, I present a brief overview of the history of research on OA, call for a heightened level of organized (academic) scepticism to be applied to the body of work on OA, and briefly present the 44 contributions that appear in this theme issue. OA research has clearly matured, and is continuing to do so. We hope that our readership will find that, when taken together, the articles that appear herein do indeed move us “Towards a broader perspective on ocean acidification research”.

Actually it was roosevelt, you know the Dem president who liked and admired both he and mussolini. Dems seem to have a love affair with dictators. They certainly try and act like them.

Nope, it was the Republicans. All the way up to Pearl Harbor and Hitler declaring war on us. There's a lovely book, anthology of all the Republican speeches in Congress gushing over Hitler and Mussolini....."The Illustrious Dunderheads".

Nope, it was the progressives. Are you that historically ignorant, or are you just stupid?

Love it when you parade your ignorance of history like that.

You know, had you actually been in the military, as you have claimed, you would have been exposed to the history of those conflicts. But, as you clearly weren't you have to rely on wiki because you are too stupid to do the work yourself.

So, in other words DOOOH! bodie is proven a moron, yet again!


"Were Hitler's economic policies in the 1930s, however, significantly different from those of Roosevelt, his counterpart in the United States? On the contrary, there was a striking similarity between FDR's New Deal and the methods that Hitler used to get Germany out of the Depression. Both FDR and Hitler instituted massive government spending campaigns, including public-works programs, to bring full employment to their countries. In the United States, for example, there was the Hoover Dam. In Germany, there was the national autobahn system.

The Nazis also imposed an extensive system of governmental control over German businesses. Was Roosevelt's approach any different? Consider FDR's pride and joy, his National Recovery Act, which was characterized by the infamous Blue Eagle. With the NRA, the U.S. government required entire industries to combine into government-protected cartels, and directed them to fix wages and prices in their respective industries. If a businessman refused to go along, he faced prosecution and punishment, not to mention protest demonstrations from Blue Eagle supporters. (The Supreme Court ultimately declared the NRA unconstitutional.)

Let's also not forget the important paternalistic elements of Hitler's national socialism: Social Security, national health care, public schooling, and unemployment compensation. Sound familiar?

Hitler himself showed keen insight into this matter. In his biography Adolf Hitler, John Toland writes, "Hitler had genuine admiration for the decisive manner in which the President had taken over the reins of government. 'I have sympathy for Mr. Roosevelt,' he told a correspondent for the New York Times two months later, 'because he marches straight toward his objectives over Congress, lobbies and bureaucracy.' Hitler went on to note that he was the sole leader in Europe who expressed 'understanding of the methods and motives of President Roosevelt.'"



In the early 1930s, both Mussolini and Hitler were very much aware of the similarities between their own programs and those of FDR:

• Both dictators celebrated the New Deal as an initiative that was compatible with their own economic philosophy.
• In 1934 the Nazi Party’s official newspaper depicted President Roosevelt as a man of “irreproachable, extremely responsible character and immovable will,” and as a “warmhearted leader of the people with a profound understanding of social needs.”
• The Nazi Party paper also lauded the New Deal for having eliminated “the uninhibited frenzy of market speculation” by adopting “National Socialist strains of thought,” and it noted that "many passages in [FDR's] book Looking Forward could have been written by a National Socialist." "In any case," said the publication, "one can assume that he [Roosevelt] feels considerable affinity with the National Socialist philosophy."
• After FDR had been in office for a year, Hitler himself sent Roosevelt a private letter congratulating “his heroic efforts in the interests of the American people.” “The President’s successful battle against economic distress is being followed by the entire German people with interest and admiration,” wrote the German fuehrer.
• Mussolini, for his part, praised FDR for recognizing that the American economy could not “be left to its own devices.” “Without question, the mood accompanying this sea change [i.e., FDR's policies] resembles that of Fascism,” Mussolini wrote.
• In an interview with the German biographer Emil Ludwig, Mussolini made plain his view that “America has a dictator” in FDR.
• In an essay written for American audiences, Mussolini observed admiringly that FDR was bringing “spiritual renewal” and destroying the anachronistic notion that democracy and liberalism were “immortal principles.” Added Mussolini: “America itself is abandoning [these principles]. Roosevelt is moving, acting, giving orders independently of the decisions or wishes of the Senate or Congress. There are no longer intermediaries between him and the nation. There is no longer a parliament but an ‘état majeur.’ There are no longer parties, but a single party. A sole will silences dissenting voices.”

"Mussolini's admiration for FDR was reciprocated in full measure. In a letter to Breckinridge Long, his ambassador to Italy, Roosevelt made reference to “that admirable Italian gentleman” who “is really interested in what we are doing.” “I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished,” said Roosevelt."

"President Roosevelt is best remembered for leading America towards military preparedness and, later, in the war against Nazi Germany—yet he was remarkably reluctant to even verbally criticize Hitler in the 1930s.

Throughout the pre-war period, FDR strove to maintain cordial diplomatic and economic relations with Nazi Germany. He sent Secretary of Commerce Daniel Roper to speak at a German-American rally in New York City in 1933, where the featured speaker was the Nazi ambassador to Washington, and a large swastika flag was displayed on stage. The president allowed U.S. diplomats to attend the mass Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg in 1937, and his administration helped the Nazis evade the American Jewish community’s boycott of German goods in the 1930s by permitting the Nazis to deceptively label their goods with the city or province of origin, instead of “Made in Germany.”

Despite the intensifying anti-Jewish persecution in Germany in the 1930s, Roosevelt not only refused to criticize the Hitler government, but he personally removed critical references to Hitler from at least three planned speeches by Interior Secretary Harold Ickes in 1935 and 1938. Even Roosevelt’s criticism of the infamous Kristallnacht pogrom—a public statement which has often been cited as proof of the president’s willingness to denounce the Nazis—did not contain a single explicit mention of Hitler, Nazism, or the Jews.

Roosevelt said nothing about Hitler’s action in the Rhineland (1936); applauded the Munich agreement, which handed western Czechoslovakia to the Nazis (1938); and, eighty years ago this week, ducked reporters’ questions rather than utter a single critical word regarding Hitler’s threat to Danzig."

Why FDR Wouldn't Condemn Hitler | History News Network

very nice polemic..some of which is even true--however...none of it addresses American right-wing Republicans and their affection and affinity for Hitler and the Nazi party.

FDR was walking a tightrope..trying to buy time as he frantically tried to rebuild the US armed forces. he knew war was coming..and his ' Germany First' strategy says all you need to know about how he felt about Hitler. I'm sure Hitler admired FDR..he admired Churchill as well....FDR had to deal with his own problems with the Anti-Semites.

"Some of which is true" How about ALL of it is true. Which means it is a factual argument. Which means, yet again, you are wrong.

Unless you consider Henry ford and Charles Lindbergh Progressive..and they were emphatically not.....you might want to rethink your position. It is known by most historians that a great many Republican, right-wing businessmen were rabidly anti-Semitic..and in love with the NAZI party. The extreme Progressives of the time were Socialist at best..and many were Communist. Now, I know a lot of your ilk have been conflating socialist and Nazi----as most thinking people know..they were blood enemies. Especially given the prevalence of Jewish influence on the left of the time..your premise..just isn't true.

Ummm, Charles Lindbergh was a big Hitler supporter till it became a problem. Same with Ford. You might want to check your facts again.

Dunce..that is exactly what I'm saying. You might want to reread my post..and reflect on comprehension. My point being the Lindbergh and Ford were rabid conservatives...way to the right of the Republican party. The Republican party of the time was anti-Semitic..and made no bones about it.

And the idiot that gave you a 'winner' is dirt stupid...so you might want to reflect on that as well...

No, they weren't. They were anti semites, and progressives through and through.

Oh piss off you little hypocritical ass. You and your fellow stalinists couldn't attack sandman fast enough.

You fuckers invented all sorts of stories to try and rationalize the vicious hate you were spewing, and then, when the truth came out most of you scumbags refused to admit you were wrong.

In other words little pseudo intellectual, fuck off.

Time magazine has named Greta Thunberg it's person of the year? Seriously? That sour faced little brat rehearses and delivers a speech her parents wrote and she's the most relevant person Time can find? How about Boyan Slat? At least he's doing something more tangible than faking outrage that could win an academy award. So much for good Journalism. Hey Greta The White Island Volcano in New Zealand just threw enough crap into the earths atmosphere to undo any headway made in eliminating green house gasses for the last three years. Lets see you control that climate change.

Well, Time is SO biased towards Leftist policies and Democratic policy, it's just sickening. And of course the whole "climate change" crap is an invention of the Loony Leftists. Greta is an unfortunate tool used by those pushing the climate change lunacy. She'll be irrelevant in a few years.

I think she's already irrelevant but she still has her followers. I've been going at people all day complaining about Trumps comment against such a lovely child. Hey when you place yourself in the adult world and talk publicly about adult things you're fair game. IMHO.

As for climate change the earth has always had climate change. Where i'm sitting now wearing my winter wooly's used to be a tropical beach complete with dinosaurs. I recall in the 70's climatologists saying we were headed for another Ice age. They don't know squat. It's just another way for them to scare the public into spending tax dollars on their projects.
