I really don't care what any 16 year old thinks about anything, much less consider them experts on anything. Except being an expert at being 16.

That's not always the case.

I knew everything when I was 16.

Well you've come a long way since then, clearly.

Was about to refer to the same info, @PragueAddick  

Greta has posted numerous pictures of her train journeys on Twitter.

Knock, Knock.
Who's there?
Someone spouting ill-informed drivel. 

Trains aren't powered by unicorn smiles and pixie dust.

You seem to be suggesting that environmentalists shouldn't be allowed to travel.

@tom_k and @wheresmeticket?"

This is how you argue a post.
A clear concise argument without the need to resort to personal abuse or a flouncy fit.

Let me remind you what you said:

"If you disagree with her she stops being aneeco warrior activist and  becomes a special needs kid.

Hopefully she will turn her eco attention to China."

You get the abuse you deserve sunshine.

Sorry. It's my fault, I over estimated your intelligence.

I think she's more into climate change than political freedoms though, an area where China is leading the way.

I'm hoping no one points out stus  support for the anti democratic and murderous Chinese government, but has very few nice things to say about our PM.


He posts from China.

The same China that's doing more than almost any other country in the world?


The same China that has solar panels pretty much everywhere in almost ever city? The same one thats trying to do away with burning coal, or the same one thats leading the way on Electric car research?

Yes. I'm.sure her views would be welcome.

We have seen in Hong Kong have much the Chinese value Political discourse.

Look forward to her tour of China well done Greta!

Yeah FFS she has done absolutely nothing to solve the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.

Or sort out the sale of the club 

Ending global warming is a tough job. Getting Roly to sell-up, now THAT'S a job.

In defence of sixteen year olds:

● Egyptian schoolgirl Azza Abdel Hamid Faiad discovered how to convert plastic into biofuel aged 16.

● Ann Makosinski of the Philippines invented a torch that is powered by the warmth of the hand holding it at the age of 16.

 ● John Kennedy Toole wrote his first novel The Neon Bible aged 16.

 ● Justus von Liebig dicovered Fulminic acid aged 16.

 ● Pablo Picasso stopped attending Madrid’s Royal Academy of San Fernando believing he had outgrown what they could teach him. That year he produced the award winning Science and Charity (check it out, it's pretty good).

 ● George Nissen designed the first modern trampoline aged 16. 

 ● Param Jaggi invented a device to convert carbon dioxide emitted from car engines into oxygen aged 16.

 ● Blaise Pascal published an essay on Projective Geometry leading to his famous theorem aged 16. The essay was so advanced that Rene Descartes was convinced Blaise’s father must have written it.

 ● Albert Einstein had written an essay containing the seeds of the special theory of relativity by 16.

 

Then again, perhaps they are a bit slow on the uptake. This is what can be done at fifteen:

● Kim Ung-Yong became the youngest ever holder of a PhD at 15. By that age he’d already been working as a research scientist for NASA for seven years.

● Bobby Fischer was a chess grand master at 15.

● Louis Braille invented the Braille communication system at 15.

Wasters!  What had they been doing with their lives?

● At 14 Mozart wrote his first opera: Mitridate Re di Ponto. 

So, I'm sure we can all agree, you should never consider a 16 year old an expert at anything

Jonjo Shelvey was 16 when he made his Charlton debut.

Can a mod please move this to the political area where it belongs.

If it gets moved, do you promise to get on there and explain us whether you accept the consensus of 99% of scientists on man-made climate change, and in particular the implications for your vineyard? That would be genuinely enriching...

Well that killed half hour, thanks to all who contributed
