Country Mama
Passionate fear and outcry to a sense of urgency towards hopelessness and despair stormed the global news.
These young and vivacious sixteeners and younger minds and bodies walked out of school and their country ‘across the cities and over the ocean’ to protest about paying attention to global climate change as the most threatening and catastrophic event of our lives on earth.
If “complacent climate change deniers do not do something about the horrors of climate change,” of course, by borrowing and getting into thousands of dollars to millions of debt per household to comply with the Green New Deal resources, we’d be blamed for the earth’s climactic short span, predicted to be ending in 12 years.
Thanks to Friends of Science, and being good friends with them, I, too, urge myself to research, study, learn from wise people of more than 35+ years of experience, knowledge and understanding.
I respect these sweet, brave young passionate teenagers who do care for our beautiful, ever-growing wonderful world. Keep learning, respect your wiser elders in your midst. And with correct discernment, heed their counsel to guide you in life.

i am really sorry but this story has been debuned.
The numbers of scientists that believe climate change will impact this planet more and more is in the 100,000 plus.
Unfortunately, I didn’t hear about it. There are more and more activists in our country fighting against climate change.
Perhaps they, the protesters, know science and the 500 scientists’ study and conclusive statement saying that there is ‘no climate emergency.’ Climate change activists such as Swedish Greta Thunberg should stop being afraid now and enjoy her childhood.
But the problem is that Greta is right and these 500 so-called scientists are completely and utterly wrong!
There is a great deal to be afraid of, especially if you are young and know that that your future life – 30 years or so down the line – will be blighted by the horrendous mistakes made by previous generations.
These nay-sayers have long been “outed” as being in the pockets of huge vested interests in the oil and coal industries. It is vital that the world listens to the people who really know what they are talking about.
Nah… We, parents and protectors of our children, have chosen to encourage and teach our children and future generation that our world is improving, developing, and doing just great. They should enjoy life, work hard, build families and wealth, build their own character and be wise toward their brighter adulthood making great contributions benefiting communities and society.
But we are leaving them a dreadful legacy. They are right to be to criticising us for the mess we have made of the world.
Don´t you believe in Climate change????
Oh, I do! Climate changes have been occuring eversince Creation.
Science has become a matter of faith. I truly believe “the real scientist” is always questioning and not taking everything as the absolute truth, especially when theories are involved. Theories aren’t facts, and correlation doesn’t always imply causation. I enjoy listening to both sides of the coin and my opinion is somewhere in between, I wish it was the same for everyone else, to let their beliefs be questioned from time to time.
Research should be independent and experts should cooperate together for the selfless purpose of making the world better, but this will never be the case if research is sponsored by “lobbies” of any kind, who only mind their interests and tend to divide people. That’s frustrating as well as suspicious.
No – theories ARE facts, because science could not work unless it was based on theories. Gravity is a theory, as is the theory that the planets orbit the Sun.
People often make the mistake that the word “theory” implies uncertainty, but that is because they misunderstand that the word has a precise scientific meaning that is not the same as that used by the general public.
There is no uncertainty in the scientific world about climate change and the overwhelming evidence showing that current global warming is largely the result of human activity. In the pseudo-scientific world, things may well be different.
Why do I say this? Because I know that science works by always asking questions and casting doubt on the theories that it comes up with. It is precisely because all the theories about climate change and its causes have been doubted and questioned over and over that the evidence has been amassed that shows that the theories are correct.
Partly agree with you. Suspicion is a very good thing. You investigate more, peel off more layers, like you do an onion until you get into the core of the premise of “Climate change, an existential annihilation of the world in 12 years, and that people are dying because of climate change.”
I’m glad to know that you are going to join the ranks by knowing who the 500 are and follow up their 35+ years of qualifications. These sixteeners, led by Greta, should learn from them too.
Thanks for your input.
Welcome back country mama.
Thank you, Witty Feeds. 🙂
This “Friends of Science Society” is well-known as a climate change denial organization that is funded by oil and gas companies. To get the low-down on these people, check this page: https://www.desmogblog.com/friends-of-science
I go to the main source. They look friendly, fact and evidence-based with their claims. Thank you.

I am highly suspicious. The international consensus of people who really know what they’re talking about is that there is definitely a climate emergency that must be dealt with. I would like to know who these “500 scientists” are and how qualified they are to be saying what they do.
