#2I had the same reaction when the German government revealed their insufficient measures as part of the "Klimapaket" (climate pact) last Friday. Scientists are recommending a tax of 180€ per ton of CO2 to achieve the necessary reduction in emissions. The German coalition government decides to introduce a 10€ CO2 tax. How dare they?

#4The EU and USA are really doing quite well. She should be telling the rest of the world it's not enough:

I like it warmer though, where's my lobby? ;-)

#5It's interesting to see how some factions are now claiming that Greta is merely a puppet, following some hidden power's agenda. That's obviously nonsense. Listen to her! All she asks is that the politicians listen to the scientists.

Pretty much noone is doing "quite well". The goals of the Paris agreement are not within reach with the current measures. We need to half our emissions every 10 years!
Saying "I like it warmer" just shows how poorly informed you are. Are you ok with all of the world's coral reefs dying? That's what were are going. These reefs are home to 25% of all species in the oceans!

That, and that governments do what they promised they would do in the Paris agreement. It should really not be that controversial.

Are you interested in reduction of global emissions or in the goals of the Paris agreement? Decide and then inform yourself about the difference. The Paris agreement is responsible for China and India emitting CO2 recklessly, because it treats them as developing nations and their goals are defined in terms of GDP while "ours" aren't. A 5% reduction in China would be worth more than a 10% reduction in the EU, if you're just looking at total emissions.

Yes, I'd risk that if the world becomes greener and more fertile at that cost. It's probably not due to CO2 though: https://www.npr.org/2019/07/16/742050975/floridas-corals-are...

#9Unfortunately, we've built and set in motion a machine that we are no longer in control of, and there is very little we can do. Look at all the environmental damage and habitat destruction (our habitat) that went into this conference as an example.

"I like it warmer though, where's my lobby? ;-)"
You have a ton? They kind of dwarf climate change lobbyists in size and influence? They've been wildly successful at breaking the Paris agreement?
