Something tells me that's not direct enough for our adolescent overlords. It's all or nothing with kids.

Source, please. Because my research indicates that per capita the US is the world's largest co2 polluter, and while China produces more total co2, bear in mind its population is three times that of the US. And India is a fraction in both total and per capita numbers.
In fact, Canada, Australia and the middle east are amongst the worst, and while the EU countries may be small contributors, we can't close our borders to the weather.
Personally I think she is a teenager with known mental health issues.
Like all teenagers around the world she shouldn't be worried sick about this nonsense that the world will end in a few years.
It won't.
I remember being worried sick as a child about nuclear war.
We just love drama.
The climate changes, we pollute too much, agreed.
I question if CO2 is the real demon.
Maybe someone could explain why the sea is supposedly rising, when ice has a greater volume than water and most of a glacier is under water. Seems wrong to me

It was a rant but. Stealing her childhood, maybe you could post a link to the scientific evidence you say she produced which proved that Rant means to talk in a noisy, excited or declamatory manor, and she was definitely doing that. I think you are mistaking emoting for a declamatory manor. What does being adult have to do with discussing ones mental health. She does come across as mental unbalanced tbf and the internet can be a cruel place, I just hope that she does not suffer mentally from this in the future. If it was my child, I wouldn’t let her do it.

So you say my post to Cassandra was 'Whataboutism'. Then you reply with whataboutism. Terrific stuff
This is from a post on a different forum about this topic of discussion.
It’s hilarious, all these school kids preaching to us oldies that we fucked up the planet! Back in the 60’s and 70’s not a plastic bottle to be seen it was all glass that were reused, pop bottles taken back to the shop. No plastic bags, loose food was brown paper bags, all sweets were bought in 1/4lb put in a paper bag.
Mothers used shopping trolleys to carry heavy stuff or used a linen bag. You walked to school from 5yo to 16yo not jumping into mummy’s 4+4. No McDonald’s or Burger King plastic toys, no polystyrene food boxes for you to litter the streets with, we had used newspapers to wrap our hot food in.
Our milk was delivered at 5 am 6 days a week by a milkman who drove an electric vehicle! Holidays were in a caravan in Britain not an aeroplane to far off destinations. So I think these youngsters need to take a look in a recycled mirror and think is it my wasteful generation who are fucking up the planet.
