Why doesn’t she go to China or India?


You know, actual places that have massive pollution issues? Go preach her mellow dramatic script over in those shit hole areas.

Why should a Western girl go lecture non-Western nations? It doesn't matter who makes the biggest mess, you sweep before your own doorstep first. And just how credible would it be, anyway, for a Westerner to go tell China to cut down on their pollution, without having told the same thing to his or her countrymen first? For example, the car was invented in the West. The West has enjoyed its benefit since its inception. China has only in recent years started to use cars on a Western scale, and still there are plenty of Chinese who do not have a motorised vehicle. The West would have no credibility whatsoever in trying to moralise to China on that score.

Again, it would reveal what a joke she is, as well as other environmentalists like her.

She would be a joke if she went after China, instead of her own region.

So they should not listen and change their ways?
And she shouldn't even try?

reply

What are you talking about? She is trying. You sweep before your own doorstep first. Page one rule, tom. Page one.

Sweden is part of the UN. And she was invited - it's not like she crashed the party.

her script wont work there. tell an indian kid that grew up in a slum that her childhood was ruined.

For the same reason the cop who pulled you over for speeding doesn't let you go when you say, "But everybody speeds".

According to the mathematical models on global warming, Africa is the worst place by far, by FAR. That is the place to visit if you want to fix this imaginary problem.

She doesn't call the shots, she is just the actor at the front.

Because they've got too much sense over there to put up with her childish crap. They'd spank her ass and send her home.
