You seem to burying your head in the sand with regards to the main drivers and reasons of the situation were in. It’s not an overpopulation matter no matter how easy it is for you to blame the East.
I'm not trying to blame the east i'm just pointing out that on the global level, overpopulation + growth = consumption = co2 emissions. It's not about blame because I don't consider it sinfull for the developing countries to want to have the same things as we do in the west.
It should hardly come as a surprise that countries with the highest population will produce the highest CO2 emissions. What you need to zero in on is the countries with high CO2 emissions but lower populations. The US has approx 15 tonnes of CO2 per capita. India has under 2 tonnes of CO2 per capita.
Edit: For reference - the EU is about 6.6 tonnes.
I'm well aware of this.

Feels pretty on the mark after watching Alok Sharma almost breakdown in tears after pathetic concessions were made on coal.
Then you should also be aware that your equation is leaving out a pretty large variable.
And she has done far more than the useless cnuts we vote for. Go figure.
I second that. Well said.

She's might get a strong blowback for this.
What's Sapmi?
How come? Is she in a small minority that opposes the mine?
Sapmi is a region in the north of 4 countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia), mostly inhabited by Sámi people. About 20.000 in Sweden. Some of their activists have been very vocal in opposition to this project.
It is a minority but I wouldn't call it a small minority. 2 of our 8 Parliament parties are against it. Greens and the Left(former communists), but together they only represent about 12 % of the current legislature. Both parties (especially Greens) are important partners to the ruling Social democrats (S). On issues like this, S has a long history of prioritizing industry and jobs (essential to their Union allies) over other ideals, like in this instance protecting both nature and the culture of a protected minority population.
The state in Sweden has a shameful history of racist practices against the Sami people, and the related issues are always sensitive and controversial. But it is no longer the same climate, the State has done a lot over the last 70 years to make amends. So most people will have a very negative feeling about her calling this project "colonial approach".
As always, we Norwegians don't want to do worse than than the Swedes, we've really fecked over the Sami people as well. The history is extremely shameful. I'm not sure I'm on board with the making amends thing, I'm more comfortable saying that we've more or less stopped being obvious oppressors. That's not making amends, in my opinion.

Be surprised if someone hasn’t setup that website already
That's a great response
It is. But also quite the obvious outcome in a battle of minds. Especially since Tate entered unarmed.
He really must be an insecure little shit to bother picking this kind of fight. Greta’s the bigger alpha.

Not his biggest fan, far from it, but wish him a speedy recovery.
Surprised now that there isn't a queue of middle aged gammon trying to leak her private pictures.
She’s 19.Picking fights with little kids

Well done
I know what you’re like with teenagers.
An investigation cleared me of any wrongdoing
There will be many people out there using any type of means to discredit her. She and everyone else needs to realise she's an adult now and so is subject to a higher scrutiny. Fair play to her that she has stayed the distance and is still an advocate for reform.
Kudos chaps. These were both amusing responses!
You just Greta'd the poor guy.
Give me your e-mail addresses
There was a thriving market amongst paedophiles for photoshopped photos of her onto naked kids bodies a couple of years ago.
