Perhaps doing things within our sphere of influence, not putting her on a pedestal. I am not naive enough to believe politicians or powerful people actually care enough to change things around. Good for Greta for doing what she can in her life, but again this is real life and not fantasy. No single person is a hero. Collective action and activism requires participation and positive results.

We are already past the point of return. All that is left is reducing the climate catastrophe length and duration.

I predict,

-2025 ---- we are going to see the first few degrees of sharp temperature rise.

2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 ---- fighting the weather anomalies with no effect.

-2030 ----- we might realise that nothing is working into reversing global climate fluctuations.

2031 — 2040 ---- if politicians act globally ( work from home, ban on individual international travel, shipping fully electric + wind-powered )

2041 ---- 2050 ---- Either previous decade effect is felt or chaos continues to buildup. Political will dies here. Dictatorships on the rise.

2051 ---- 2060 ---- Either 2 decades effect is felt or chaos slows down. Do normal people even exist ? Millionaires + peasants.

2061 ---- 2070 ---- Final 3 decades effect might start showing else chaos causes more issues. No one cares, everyone is infighting.

2081 ---- ---- ---- ---- Human civilization either survives or wiped out. Earth climate settles into a new normal. Cockaroaches are the new emergent species.

Any person would require the bad person to change,recognize that the change is for the better, as a new person perform good acts to overcome the harm that had happened before.

Good vs Bad is all about action and consequence.

Also even when some are trolling, the up/down vote will not gain/lose attention for the troll. Trolls love attention.

The lack of karma means participation is there not whether it is a troll or regular.

Unless it is spam, almost no one is punished/rewarded for participating.

Grandstanding is wonderful! Makes you feel united ! So much standing around! Power of the masses!

/s in case it isnt obvious. Protests will work if the political will and political climate forces action from political leaders and people in power.

You are asking for a guidebook for something that doesnt exist. I am NOT THE EXPERT.

You wish to take down large corporations ? Sorry I am not that person.

You want an idiot’s guide ??? Dude, idiots cannot fix these problems. You need experts.

Im not from Aussie land or 'Murica so no I dont know what “Fox” or Murdoch is pushing. Not angry. Just sad that Greta is put through all the crap when no excuses, no blaming, no apologies, no grandstandings. Get together and take action. Not simply stand around and protest.

There is strength in numbers. A single person isnt a hero. We dont live in a fantasy. Collective action is better. There are a million different ways to hold corporations accountable including working from within each one.

Wonderful how we don’t have any polluting corporations anymore … wait … it has gotten worse …

Silly me for pointing out that sensationalism and performance-activism hasnt done anything worth a dime or nickel to reign in the perpetrators of the climate catastrophe.

If Greta or similar persons could get a climate science degree and perhaps a political or law education and work to take down the system from within, perhaps we could stand a chance.

Spray-painting Van Gogh or the Stone Henge isnt solving anything. Neither is sailing around on a yatch around the world helping.

More security theatre. And more traffic. Also difference between Domestic vs International flight requirements.

Soviet blocks are definitely better than urban sprawl when the maintenance and facilities are top-notch.

Taking the single issue of Transportation pollution, when India was in lockdown during covid, we had pollution-free skies, and lo-and-behold the regular rains and normal weather patterns not seen for more than 40 or 50 years returned ! Human transport pollution is the worst in India.

One of the first things Indian/foreign companies did was force workers to mandatorily return to office locations which increases transportation pollution by the bazillions as vehicles are needed to shuttle people, materials and maintenance for everything. And all these corporations talk the big talk of how ESG they are.

Some meetings are for:

• Project Planning

• Roadmaps

• Brainstorming

• Project-Milestone-Task breakdowns

• Issue-Triage work

• Budgetary allocations

• Priority item tracking

There are many many important meetings to have and to get done. The worst meeting you can have is a status-update call where you mark off items on a checklist. This can be done by automation and status-tracker boards.

I shudder to think that Greta is attributed to Conservation in the same breath as Steve Irwin!

Greta should be at home and in school and preparing to live her life as an adult. If she as an adult became a climate activist and held the Top-7 or Top-10 or Top-20 corporations accountable, sure that would be commendable.

Nothing gets done blaming others and while taking no action against the wrongdoers. yourself

Philosophy and Science have always had an impact and influence on each other.

Actual Indian here, please DO NOT live the way Indians live in India. The worst unplanned urban sprawl and urban density and squatting and squalor and slums :-(

If you are referring to the Ancient Civilization of local produce and local distribution and local Kingdom Tithes to the Empire while living in villages and the concentrating political, commercial and military power in the major cities. Education “institutes” in deep forest with no “fees” but labor for classes. Since that type of Civilization did once exist and thrived before being wiped out by repeated invasions and conquerors. Most definitely there were social and technology issues, but the slow pace of development did not destroy the landscape.

Medicine, Technology, Transportation, Global Trade need tempering with ecological ethical and sustainable standards of implementation, research and development.

Any sports that is competitive requires testing to ensure that no one cheats or has an unfair advantage. If you are against testing in sports, then sports is not what you are looking for.

An Open participant category would solve almost every problem. Only the best of the best will win.

Traditionally, “Women” ( biological XX-chromosome Homo-sapiens ) had their own category due to their inherent physical weakness compared to “Men” ( biological XY-chromosome Homo-sapiens ) in almost every physical category. This allowed “Women” to compete on their own “safe” “fair” “even” “fair” playing field separate from “Men”.

If you want a sports category “Trans-Woman” or “Trans-Man” or “Trans-any / Non-Binary” PLEASE GO FOR IT ! I am not saying anyone should be excluded from sports. But there are reasons that categories exist in sporting events. Be constructive or don’t it is your choice.

:smh: If you have to split hairs what is “Human” I cannot help you. Be Awesome or don’t it is eventually every persons choice to act or not act.

Very interesting

It sucks that everything these days get politically and ideologically bent out of shape. I just want to enjoy sports without all the hoopla and co-opting.

Just too excited waiting for the Paris 2024 to start, hopefully there will be less controversy and more human moments in sports.

Keep Being a Good Human and Calmly Carry On Being Excellent to One Another !

:-D

HRT doesnt level the playing field for benefits gained due to “doping” or “Y-chromosome” development.

Sports should have “XX-chromosome” category i.e. Female/Women sports. And “XY-chromosome” category i.e. Male/Men sports.

And if there are sufficient participants, an “All-Gender” category i.e. Open/Neutral sports.

There is no need to co-opt or include ambiguous situations. Sports should be fair, equal-opportunity and intensely competitive within their segments.
