I think that the pic is 100% real, but nowadays im paranoid. Because this pic comes with news link and video that she had been arrested
There are five fingers, where are you seeing an extra one?
Unhinged post.Does she just go around Europe getting arrested now? What a twat.
They were. "Respect the freedom of expression of climate protestors" my ass.
Why? You only hear about her when she is in trouble with the law in various countries.
Not agreeing with this particular form of protest as it's a bit shit but disagree with your overall tone and demenour.
Because if you agree with her cause, calling her a twat for participating in protests is absurd. If peaceful protesting is going too far, then I wonder what level of activism you consider acceptable. She obviously feels very strongly about these issues, and she gives a lot of support to activists and protestors. You and I might only hear about her when she is in trouble with the law, but I'm certain there's a lot more to it than that.
Trying to force change before the alternatives are there is usually a bad idea, imo
Blocking a highway just results in people being insanely annoyed and provoked, less likely to have an open ear for the cause.. It also leads to cars standing still while using fuel, further increasing emissions as they still have to get where they were planning on going, funnily enough.
You could make that exact case for any protest, and all strikes. It's not a valid argument IMO.
You can have plenty of protests in areas that don’t have a major impact on transportation.
The point of a protest is to get attention.
Five fingers would mean there is an extra one though. God it’s tough being this pedantic. It’s a curse.
Inconveniencing ordinary members of the public to make a political point is selfish, thoughtless and self-defeating.
I said less attention, i didn’t say no attention.
Why would they fear real protests? Obviously everyone fears violence
You’re joking, right?
Fear protests that doesn't allow the workers and the economy produce. stop working for a while losing millions and see how they come around. Violence of course against the ones that rules (politicians and the ones behind)
Jesus christ. Not sure when and where in the past you’re from, but violence against those that rule isn’t exactly the road to overthrowing and establishing a new government. It was a bit easier when you could just chop someones head off and claim the throne to install a new set of rules, these days it’s generally called terrorism and is overall frowned upon.
Certainly what we are doing is not working at all
You're being unfair, don't you remember all those those great societal changes that happened without any protests inconveniencing ordinary citizens?
Well, we’re working on a transition to autonomous vessels to increase fuel efficiency on long transits to reduce emissions, on further evolving our AUVS so they can complete more complicated tasks usually reserved for IMR vessel, which will further reduce emissions offshore. There’s the remote ROV projects where they are docked offshore and charged by solar panels, there’s the remote control centers to limit the amount of people needed offshore. We just launched Reach remote 1.
certainly I remember:
Norway has had to raise the retirement age simply because the one we had was not sustainable, so it should be rather obvious that other countries have to do the same, it’s generally a consequence of people living longer.
All this that you mention are economic driven, not climate driven. We need to lose money if we want to make it
And that is an example. If EV are getting implemented is not because government decisions forced it. Is bc Tesla and others had being chewing away the existing car manufacture market. If fuel efficiency systems appears is not to save the planet. Is fecking money
This is what they tell you. We live longer than decades before (less than 10% than 30 years ago), but our economies and productivity had grown much more. Who is keeping this benefits. When in US 400 people have the same money than the bottom 60%, is not that there is no money for everyone. And this are physical people, not counting companies as a whole
It’s somewhat ironic that you’re complaining about public health systems gradually getting worse, less value for your money when you retire, increase in retirement age etc, but at the same time you’re thinking that we need to be climate driven and lose money while there aren’t any suitable alternatives. Good luck funding the public health systems and early retirement.
Yeah, sorry I’m not reading all that tonight. What’s your point?
You should seriously look into the government costs related to pensions in Norway. We can’t afford it, it’s that simple.
I dont have an expectation of free higher education, I have a belief that free higher education over the long term has a positive impact on societies and outcomes.
I don’t think anyone is arguing against the fact that higher education should be as cheap as possible, ideally free, or the positive impact it has on society.
Read above, there is money enough to cover those loses and be able to get quality services. Inequality needs to be fix and is the main economic problem. Not societal services. Health issues caused by climatic pollution
The belief that there arent any suitable alternatives is horribly misguided. There are so many solutions and alternatives happening around the world that are slowly but surely making positive changes. You need to start to actually look, when you do you will see them.
My taxes over my lifetime funded it 10 times over
I dont expect "free shit". I expect that the explotation and inequality stops and taxes to the rich and companies paya for the "free shit"
