You want to kick a disabled kid in the head for taking action and expressing views you don't agree with instead of debunking their claims? How big of you.
She's an alarmist who over-exaggerates AGW but I fail to see how that has such a negative impact on your life you want to enact violence on them or somehow debunks climate change.
were you as vocal about protecting Nick Sandman? Just curious.
I don't watch US news and didn't follow that story.

The projected timelines have proven to be incorrect but you can't dismiss Climate Change entirely just because the timing is off. Climate Change is happening in my opinion. I think of it as a snowball analogy: At the start it's very small and insignificant and travels very slowly, and is easier to stop at this point. As time progresses the snowball gets larger, faster, and more powerful. This is when people start to take notice however at this point, it's too late to stop it. I think Climate Change is the snowball that humans are not paying enough attention to during the time when we can do something to stop it.

"If you repeat a lie often enough, people will come to view it as truth" - Joseph Goebbels
OR this one...
A big lie is a propaganda technique and logical trick. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously".
I dont care if she has aspergers or not... when some stupid kid pouts and refuses to go to school until someone changes the weather for her and whines all over youtube about it... I kinda want to kick her in the head. I want to beat the # out of all of the adults who use this little dummy too.
Well you see, climate change deniers are retarded, to she is needed to enable communication at their level.

It's the same argument shaman, witch doctors, priests, and other conniving people have been saying for multiple millennia; "If you do not do what I say and do the things I demand then the Earth will become a hell for you that will destroy everything you love. "
It's an old trope, as old as humans have huddled together to form societies.
Make no mistake though, global warming is real. It's the idea that we can stop the Earth's climate from changing that is the lie. But it's human instinct to be in control, and so when people are told they have the power, the control, over something their first instinct is to believe the lie.
The climate change deniers are completely faith based individuals. They deny the real science that shows regardless of what mankind does, the Earth's climate and weather patterns will forever be dynamic. No amount of taxes, tithes, laws, regulations, or prayers will change that fact.

The NSW Police Force has taken legal action against more than 180 people for bushfire-related offences since late last year.
Numerous bush and grass fires have impacted the state, claiming the lives of 18 people and destroying hundreds of millions of animals and livestock, thousands of homes, and more than 4.9 million hectares of land, so far this bushfire season.
Since Friday 8 November 2019, legal action – which ranges from cautions through to criminal charges – has been taken against 183 people – including 40 juveniles – for 205 bushfire-related offences.
Of note:
24 people have been charged over alleged deliberately-lit bushfires
53 people have had legal actions for allegedly failing to comply with a total fire ban, and
47 people have had legal actions for allegedly discarding a lighted cigarette or match on land.
Arson overstated
As for the cause, the website article claims "many of the fires were set by arsonists." The article cites a news story in The Australian that said that more than 180 people have been arrested since the start of the bushfire season and that Swinburne University professor James Ogloff said that about 50% of bushfires were "lit by firebugs."
The 180 figure is wrong.
New South Wales police reported on Jan. 6 that it has taken "legal action" against 183 people for bushfire-related offenses since Nov. 8. But that number includes 24 people charged with deliberately setting bushfires, 53 people cited for allegedly failing to comply with a total fire ban and 47 people cited for allegedly discarding a lighted cigarette or match on land. Not all of these people were arrested, as the Starnes article claims.
Moreover, bot and troll accounts are likely involved in a "disinformation campaign" exaggerating the role of arson in the fires, according to a social media analysis by a lecturer at Queensland University of Technology in Australia, The Guardian reported.
One area of misinformation has been the hashtag #ArsonEmergency on Twitter.
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) researcher Dr Timothy Graham analysed a sample 315 accounts posting #ArsonEmergency and said around a third of them displayed highly automated and inauthentic behaviour.
Only about 1 per cent of the land burnt in NSW this bushfire season can be officially attributed to arson, and it is even less in Victoria, the ABC can reveal.
The world has been shocked by the scenes of devastation as the unprecedented destruction of Australia's horror bushfire season rages on.
The disaster has sparked significant media speculation that many of the blazes were deliberately lit.
While it is true firebugs remain a legitimate and serious threat, we crunched the numbers provided by police and fire authorities around the country.
The results might surprise you.
How fire lies spread 'wildly'
As authorities fight bushfires around the country, an ABC investigation reveals a battle of a very different kind online.
NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Inspector Ben Shepherd said earlier this week lightning was predominantly responsible for the bushfire crisis.
"I can confidently say the majority of the larger fires that we have been dealing with have been a result of fires coming out of remote areas as a result of dry lightning storms," he said.
In Victoria, where about 1.2 million hectares has burned, only 385 hectares — or 0.03 per cent — have been attributed to suspicious circumstances.

Ok, let me get this straight! Even though you think this child is being used, you still want to "kick her in the head" How old are you?
