    I can't be arsed to read this whole thread, I asked if you had a question and you used it ask about the plural of sheep. Ask me a real one.

    If I need further information on the issue, I'll go to the appropriate resources, not some random on a football message board.

    Don't assume people don't know the issues, simply because they don't engage in what you think is an appropriate way.

    Oh, I'm sorry. I was lured into thinking we were having an actual conversation.

    Okay, take her off the table.

    Is climate change going to be in the spotlight like it is? No.

    Are the implications of climate change still going to be there? Yep.

    Getting the media on board was exactly the point, it's why she held protests and got people her age on side. She knows the power the media carry and she's using it brilliantly. She's on every channel at the moment and, therefore, so is her message.

    Given you admit you haven't read the thread, and have made some incorrect assumptions, consider yourself forgiven.

    Yep, from somebody who has worked in the media, I can tell you wholeheartedly that's exactly what she's doing.

    Yup. I'm glad that didn't need any actual explaining. Quite refreshing.

    Woah !!!
    You’ve stepped right over the line
    a) this is no ‘random’ message board!
    b) ...I get all my information from here...is that wrong?...it’s normally quicker than Google and means I can be more ethical ...by not using Google

    I'm happy with the version.

    It's not subjective.

    Sorry. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    I'd get the sack cloth and ashes on, but I don't want to add to atmospheric pollution to make the ash, and it'd create breathing difficulties. Them monks have a lot to answer for.

    Thinking about it, weren't they the teachers of their day too? :emoticon-0176-smoke

    I've never been so offended. Some random? Unbelievable!

    Do you think it is subjective? I mean, she's making social media posts, she's doing interviews and speaking at events where there are cameras. I don't think it's fair to say she's doing this in spite of the media, she knows they're watching and scrutinising her, but she also knows that they'll put what she says out all over the world.

    What is your position, exactly? What 'version' are you subscribing to?

    Read the earlier replies instead of jumping in with preconceptions.
