The following is in no way intended to disrespect people with Aspergers or Autism, but to provide insight.
I know Aspergers people in my personal life. There is no denying the intellectual gifts of people with High Functioning Autism and Aspergers; many great scientific breakthroughs have been made by people whose minds work a little differently.
But one issue Autistic and Asperger people share is they tend to take what they are told very literally; they sometimes find it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, when the fiction is presented as a fact.
Greta Thunberg, schoolgirl climate change warrior: ‘Some people can let things go. I can’t’
One day last summer, aged 15, she skipped school, sat down outside the Swedish parliament – and inadvertently kicked off a global movement
Greta Thunberg cut a frail and lonely figure when she started a school strike for the climate outside the Swedish parliament building last August. Her parents tried to dissuade her. Classmates declined to join. Passersby expressed pity and bemusement at the sight of the then unknown 15-year-old sitting on the cobblestones with a hand-painted banner.
Eight months on, the picture could not be more different. The pigtailed teenager is feted across the world as a model of determination, inspiration and positive action. National presidents and corporate executives line up to be criticised by her, face to face. Her skolstrejk för klimatet (school strike for climate) banner has been translated into dozens of languages. And, most striking of all, the loner is now anything but alone.
…
She was never quite like the other kids. Her mother, Malena Ernman, is one of Sweden’s most celebrated opera singers. Her father, Svante Thunberg, is an actor and author (named after Svante Arrhenius, the Nobel prize-winning scientist who in 1896 first calculated how carbon dioxide emissions could lead to the greenhouse effect). Greta was exceptionally bright. Four years ago, she was diagnosed with Asperger’s.
“I overthink. Some people can just let things go, but I can’t, especially if there’s something that worries me or makes me sad. I remember when I was younger, and in school, our teachers showed us films of plastic in the ocean, starving polar bears and so on. I cried through all the movies. My classmates were concerned when they watched the film, but when it stopped, they started thinking about other things. I couldn’t do that. Those pictures were stuck in my head.”

The following from Psychology Today explains how taking things literally affects people on the Autism Spectrum.
People with Autism Spectrum Disorder Take Things Literally
Failure to understand colloquialisms in ASD
Posted Apr 07, 2013…
Let me give you an example of the problems faced by someone with ASD. I was told this tale by someone who had the job of placing adults with high-functioning ASD into work. One of her star individuals was a woman who was a highly skilled accountant. She had been working for her new company for a couple of weeks when her line manager came up to her and said that she was so good she felt she could wrap her up in cotton wool and take her home with her. A couple of hours later firemen were having to take the door off a lavatory cubicle – the woman with ASD had locked herself in there, convinced that her line manager was a crazed lesbian who wanted to kidnap her and involve her in some bizarre fetish involving cotton wool.

If you think about it, Greta’s position is entirely logical, from her point of view. If the world is about to end, it makes no sense to continue with life as if nothing was happening.
What Greta likely doesn’t understand is most climate activists, even people voicing radical climate claims, don’t absolutely believe their own claims in the way Greta does. If everyone who says they are concerned wholeheartedly believed climate change was about to destroy the world, they would all abandon their jobs and normal lives, and march until something was done about it.
I don’t want to give the impression that Aspergers people are all easily led astray, their condition is more complicated than that. If it ever occurs to Greta to investigate climate claims in detail, instead of simply accepting what she is told, she will likely have no hesitation in changing her views – it is entirely possible she will flip over to hardline climate skepticism as soon as she realises what she has been told doesn’t make sense.
Of course if Greta becomes a climate skeptic, the movement she founded will likely continue; they will simply stop talking about her and try to pretend she doesn’t exist, the way Greenpeace tried to erase co-founder Patrick Moore from their history.
Not only is “climate alarmism” not science it is anti-science, the only way an empire can continue is to push such. All known empires did it, deliberately falsifying knowledge. Just look at Ptolemy’s system pushed for 1000 years. Kepler broke that wide open, being the first modern scientist.
When the Pentagon lined up on this issue with 58 ex-flag officer signatures against Trump’s climate commission, it seems most missed the red alert – Empire needs false narratives. It need lies.
Now “Asperger” “spectrum disorder” fits exactly into this imperial stunt. Not because of the so-called disorder, but the drugs used to treat it like Respiridone – simply menticide. It is a very short step from anti-science t to menticide, and today after many years of research into induced disorders the drugs are now pushed by “doctors” who have not the faintest idea what they are dealing with. Unbelievable vagueness, fake psychology abounds – it is worse than “climate”, and childrens minds are being bulldozed with insidious chemicals! Psychiatrists are whispering amongst themselves they are actually causing the symptoms!
This is aside from the drug gangs, meth, … and prescription opioid scandal (Sackler family).
How many kids with induced fear of climate are being proscribed not only Respiridone, but Ritalin? Ritalin has being doled out for years like Prozak, to produce smiling placid school classes – the Prozak grin.
I do not know if Greta is on such prescription drugs, but it seem standard accross the transatlantic.
Trouble is, sudden withdrawal is highly dangerous. There are permanent brain modifications.
The pervasive drug culture is simply not noticed and menticide continues. So whenever dealing with hysterical climate kids remember you maye be daling with very dangerous, to them, drug induced syndromes.
In my opinion you are much more dangerous than any Aspergers kid. Climate change is real. We see it is happening. We have data, also. International science community is telling us our activity is heating the planet. We know it since 40 yrs ago. We don’t know if the deadline will be after 12, 40 or 100 years. But we know there will be a deadline. We know pretty well our economic model is no more sustainable.
On the other hand, we pretend to not care. Sure, is much easier. We have all comfort we need, now. Why we should accept any little sacrifice? But hiding a problem is just delaying it.
An aspergers kid is helping activism. You should thank her, rather than insult her. Because compeared to her, you are just useless, in the best case.
Jerry above wrote to not scare his kids. It is the opposite, actually the Aspergers kid is helping his kids. Again, the same Jerry wrote climatologists say world is finishing in 12 years. Nobody said this. They say we have 12 years to change before the no return point. Nobody spoke about the end of the world, just him.
There are any scientist here to prove the ipcc report is totally fake? Or it s just the fear they could be right, and we are spoiling future of our kids? That the point. Not which illness affects Greta.
Wow! Another Greta Thunberg clone.
In my opinion you are much more dangerous than any Aspergers kid.
Ignorance, such as that displayed in your post, is what is dangerous.
Climate change is real
Yes, the climate changes. It always has, it always will. Don’t conflate that with “man caused climate catastrophy”.
We see it is happening
No. What you see happening is weather.
We have data, also
And the data does not say what you clearly think is says. Extreme weather events (again, not climate in and of themselves) are not getting more frequent nor are the getting more intense *ACCORDING TO THE DATA* should you ever care to actually look at the data rather than take some activist/alarmists word for it. But that would require you to look and think for yourself, something you posts shows you have never done.
International science community is telling us our activity is heating the planet
That’s an assertion without evidence. Appealing to authority doesn’t make it any less a baseless assertion.
We know it since 40 yrs ago.
Have you looked at the predictions made based on what “we know since 40 yrs ago”. Every single prediction of danger and doom has failed to materialize. Clearly what “We know it since 40 yrs ago” isn’t so based on the results. You see science is predictive. If your theory fails in it’s predictions, that theory is garbage.
We don’t know if the deadline will be after 12, 40 or 100 years
You could have ended that sentence after the third word.
We know pretty well our economic model is no more sustainable.
And here comes the real crux of the issue. It’s not about climate, it never was, it’s about pushing socialism.
They say we have 12 years to change before the no return point
And are you aware that they’ve said the same thing many times before? In the late 80s the point of no return was the year 2000, for example. And each time that point of no return passes, they say a different date for the point of no return. How many points of no return have to pass before you wake up and realize it’s bullshit?
“There are any scientist here to prove the ipcc report is totally fake?”
You have it backwards, Mar. It is up to those who are promoting a hypothesis to provide evidence that their hypothesis is correct. The only job for the Skeptic is to say “we don’t see any evidence” when that is appropriate, as is the case with the current state of climate science.
Mar, all you have to do is provide us with a little of that IPCC evidence that shows conclusively that human-derived, or natural CO2 is affecting the climate in any way and that argument will be over. Skeptics will bow to the facts.
Do you have any such evidence? Does the IPCC have any such evidence. Not that I have ever seen.
Mar
Please post the credible, empirical, repeatable scientific studies which demonstrate that atmospheric CO2 causes the planet to warm.
I’ll save you the bother of looking because there are none.
Now, take any alarmist claim or scientific paper and apply that test to each of them and you will find they all amount to bollox!
CO2 induced climate change is modern day witchcraft.
Tragically, you will be too scared to apply that test in case it makes you actually use your brain.
Greta Thunberg looks frighteningly fanatical to me. She reminds me strongly of a cadre of the Chinese Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution in China.
having taken a 14 daze course of Prozac I dunno about a grin?
turned me zombie like
Ive had 2 friends suicide on antidepressants and they were’nt suicidal before
another died, another started having seizures.
those I know stil taking them are unable to get OFF them as the sideeffects of withdrawal are far worse then the issues they started taking them for.
someone dies, youre normally and justifiably upset
go see a do and get handed ssris as a treatment for normal grief!
kid a bit hyper? dull em down with meds rather than find an outlet for the normal energy not being allowed to be burnt off playing etc
its NOT science or medicine
its criminal
It is menticide. And Ritalin/Prozac fade beside Respiridone and a host of brain chemistry blockers. They link support/financing to the drug obligation, which is technically illegal most places.
The make normal psychotherapy either expensive or link it again to pharma.
Poor Greta. I do feel sorry for her. Exceptionally bright, or so we’re told, yet unable to think for herself. Her parents, and teachers, school administrators, and society have all failed her. Some day, perhaps in ten years, when the full gravity of the lies she was fed all her life about “dangerous manmade climate”, and “evil fossil fuels” she may even file a multi-$billion class-action lawsuit. At least by then, perhaps she will have acquired a modicum of wisdom to go along with her bright mind.
She started a world-wide movement of brash, transparent hypocrites who use fossil fuels every day, but then claim that others should not.
Yes, John Bell,
Fossil fuels enable these people’s very expression of rejecting fossil fuels. Their comfort level enabled by fossil fuels is the very foundation of their ability to complain about fossil fuels. They themselves are so addicted to fossil-fuel use that they cannot even see it. If you took away fossil-fuels, then this level of comfort to complain about them would be gone.
Sometimes it is heart-wrenching to tell the plain truth.
Courageous even.
Thank you Eric Worrall.
One of the problems is bad reporting, most of it probably unintentional. Just this morning, on Fox 13 out of Tampa, the morning host Russell Rhodes was reporting on the story about Florida wanting to go to DST year around. He said that it would save energy because DST gives us an extra hour of daylight each day. Now, he probably meant that there was an extra hour of daylight in the evening, but that’s not what he said. So how many people that do not really understand DST now think there is going to be an extra hour of daylight each day due to DST? Lax reporting, off hand comments that are not factual and plain ignorance do just as much harm as those who willfully set out to deceive.
How Asperger’s folks think is entirely due to conditioning. It is entirely possible for them to develop independence of thought if encouraged to do so. Note the word ENCOURAGED. One trait of Aspergers folks is complete contempt for motivational tools based on belittling, insulting, taunting, sneering and humiliating.
Schools are appalling centres of pedagogic brainwashing, with teachers presenting facts and children expected to regurgitate them. That sort of highly controlled environment panders to the ASD propensity for control, order and lack of uncertainty. It does not prepare them for the uncertainties, contradictions and hypocrisies of adult life.
I grew up in an environment where an OCD narcissist father was either totally controlling or totally laissez faire. I did not have one single conversation in 17.5 years with him where a discussion about my childhood, my education, my future, was concerned. Not one. He had everything planned out for his shop floor factory employee who he expected to be a virtuoso violinist, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist and the Rasputin with girls in SE England. I was conditioned to be like an ASD, whether I was one or not.
I learned to trot out the party line with the best of them. I believed in nothing, knew I was prisoner of my birth and simply waited for a chance to escape. It is a wise child who knows the difference between parenting and coercive employment….
By chance, I was told by Cambridge University to take a gap year in 1982/3 at a time when gap years were rare. I went to Austria to a different sort of school, studied violin in Salzburg.
I was exposed to a regimen of encouragement, technical inowledge and emotional warmth studying advanced violin. I faced no pressure to perform for narcissists, spent 13 days between fortnightly two hour sessions taking full responsibility for my development and experienced the fruits of a master-apprentice relationship evolving into a student-mentor relationship. Discussions were respectful, open, discursive and non-binding. Motivation raidly emerged from eithin.
The bottom line? All the rules and dogma of 17.5 years dissolved as the reality of better methods was acquired.
I never believed what I was told again. Ever. Why not? Life had taught me that bullshitters lie to get promoted, threaten to retain power and trash those who find a way to avoid them in future.
The fact is that with such overwhelming levels of State propaganda spread from the tentacles of US power, few people get the chance like me to develop free of it.
You need to grow up as a bullshitter to live a successful adult life as a bullshitter. Those who try out politics starting from an honourable truthful position never last long: their bullshitting is not refined enough and the truth is career-derailing. And only bullshitters embrace successfully the bullshitting and psychopathic world of the MSM….
The truth is that everything played out in public is false: both sides spread lies when it suits, smear when it suits, ostracise when it suits, embrace corruption and murder when it suits. There is no honour whatever in politics and the media today. Not so much in certain branches of science either.
The way to stimulate original thought is to shield the thinkers from the mass media. Far better to let them just observe, imagine, concoct and synthesise in a cocoon.
The way to create compliant masses is to brainwash and divert.
And the way to get ASD genetic carriers to take politicians by the horns is not to educate them sufficiently to see both sides of complex arguments.
However, all those who think Americans should get away with Iraq, Libya, Syria and maybe more in future scot-free need comparable punishments rained down on their nation. Three thousand dead on 9/11 and you were squealing like cowardly wussies. But millions dead in the Middle East is ‘just one of those things’? Try twenty five million US dead and see how many people care……it will be fewer than you imagine. ‘Finally, finally, finally, those American scum got what was coming to them’ will be the most prevalent attitude out there, I am afraid….
Then American voters might learn how to throw out genocidal politicians, the first- and only prerequisite for leadership by global consent…..
You Americans who think that Green Misdirection is a greater crime than mass murder need shock therapy the like of which you have never experienced…
Folks like me who consider mass murder to be anathema and Green Misdirection a propaganda stunt to be vigorously opposed are targeted by the mass murdering anti-green zealots in the US and the mass murdering green zealots in the UK.
It says that mass murder is what unites western politicians and green propaganda is an allowable bunfight.
Rather depressing, eh?
Shouldn’t have pissed us off with the 3000 on 9/11
Three thousand dead on 9/11 and you were squealing like cowardly wussies. But millions dead in the Middle East is ‘just one of those things’?

Lessons of history. Sew the wind, reap the whirlwind. Don’t wake a sleeping giant.
The larger question is should we REALLY be following the emotional obsessions of autistic children when deciding how to order the economy and standard of living of the ENTIRE WORLD?
In whose fruitbat universe is that a GOOD idea????
Like AOC’s rantings, what kills me is that there could even be a serious discussion that this could EVER be a “thing.”
Rhys Jaggar
I rather believe an apology is due to our American cousins mate.
Tony Blair, our then PM, played a significant part in the Iraq war. Nor are we blameless in innumerable other conflicts. And we are also pretty self serving when it comes to terrorism on our shores.
As for your comment about 9/11, well, that was off the scale. Rude, cruel and entirely uncalled for. I can’t recall anything but empathy and solidarity from the US when, for example, the Manchester arena was bombed by terrorists.
I can’t apologise for him folks but I hope you understand this is not the attitude of anyone in the wide circle of friends I have in the UK.
Don’t worry, we don’t blame you for the nuts in your midst just as we know you do not blame us for the nuts we have to put with.
“But one issue Autistic and Asperger people share is they tend to take what they are told very literally; they sometimes find it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, when the fiction is presented as a fact.”
Perhaps, but she is only 15 and that is a more important factor. The ability to distinguish between fact and fiction should improve with age and experience, if you exclude various adults that work for Hollywood.
So Eric, which is it, “Aspergers” or “Asperger’s”?
Aspergers showing Asperger’s syndrome.
Please note that Arrhenius did not conflate the physical chemistry of CO2 in its pure state with its properties as part of a gas mixture, and nowhere in his published work did he use the word ‘greenhouse’.
There is no seminal paper or scientist associated with ‘greenhouse theory’.
Arrhenius also realized, and stated in one of his books, that CO2 added to the atmosphere from burning coal has a positive effect on the Earth and humankind. Alarmists sort of leave out that detail.
First we have SchoolStrike, now we have BirthStrike. Where else could you read it but in the good ol’ Guardian.
“BirthStrikers: meet the women who refuse to have children until climate change ends”
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/mar/12/birthstrikers-meet-the-women-who-refuse-to-have-children-until-climate-change-ends
Is this normal?
Sorry Greta you seem to be just another obsessed child.
There are many like you these days, but such numbers, or such a juvenile consensus, does not make you correct or ‘special’. It just means you are one of many, many who have learn a script and are confident enough to recite it (just like praying). So given your autistic tendencies, you will find it particularly difficult to change your mind as the evidence for catastrophic climate change does not happen in the coming years.
And besides why should anyone believe someone as young and inexperience of people and the ways of the world.
Final note:
Greta you are being used as a pawn in a much larger political game, a game which you have no control over, a game that will turn away from you when events make it convenient to do so.
Nuts, fake, and plain lies .
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Instagram, 03/10/19 ,while holding up a National Geographic magazine, said, “The world is going to end in 12 years. If you have kids, it will end in probably something like six years, because they will just breathe more. I have the science right here.”
The magazine issue was from 1989.
Trump’s Climate Commission under Dr. Happer, despite Pentagon resistance, will bring out the cultural illness to full view.
AOC has teamed up with failed comedian “Nye the science guy” – enjoy the pantomine! Do not hide behind children when you call the Pentagon for regime change when the entire scam is scuppered!
That was a reply to Mar above!
bonbon
I suspect Mar is just a drive by troll. We’ll never see him again.
Greta should not be abused as poster girl for climate alarmists. She needs medication for AS developmental disorder. “Deficits in self-identifying emotions or in observing effects of one’s behavior on others can make it difficult for individuals with AS to see why medication may be appropriate. The atypical antipsychotic medications risperidone, olanzapine and aripiprazole have been shown to reduce the associated symptoms of AS, risperidone can reduce repetitive and self-injurious behaviors, aggressive outbursts, and impulsivity, and improve stereotypical patterns of behavior and social relatedness”
They are deadly drugs, the “doctors” have no clue what they are doing, and psychiatrists whisper privately they are actually causing the symptoms. All you describe there is brainwashing.
With “spectrum disorder” they have their climate change – anything can be proved hot or cold.
Only problem is children’s minds are being bulldozed by chemical hammers.
All of this will now hit MSM shows – just watch the censorship!
Yes, people with Asperger’s/autism spectrum often have trouble reading voices, micro-expressions, body language, and sometimes shut out sensory signals coming in too strong, too many to process. For that matter, being inumdated with web-logs, podcasts, videos, texts, IRC…can overwhelm most peopke these days. Please don’t get me started on Ocrazio, & the left’s effort to expand background checks except for invaders & climate hysterics, &…
I found an ACE graph (storm energy over time) that struck me as very powerful evidence of a lack of storm severity worsening, catastrophic global warming… so I forwarded image & link to a warmist hysteric acquaintance because he had last week been claiming severe worsening of storms.
Now, I’m not a “climate scientist”, though I do take care to try to follow the scientific method, and am not much of a statistician nor mathematician (it’s not my first impulse to apply them), though we both have helped numerous grad students & profs crunch their data, and I once ported a statistics app, but he is far more of a mathematician than I. We both have known academic meteorologists, hurricane predictors & chasers, oceanographers, geo-physical fluid dynamics people.
So, he responds, “I don’t believe it. The graph must not mean what you think. It doesn’t agree with what I know.” So, I pressed for a more concrete argument…and he sent me a URL from a power-mad watermelon site, with pictures of “beautiful people”, and text merely asserting in essence, “The sky is falling!!! …severe storms…catastrophic… real soon, now! End of the world! Please donate! Donate! Donate!”
No data tables, no graphs, no links to data or graphs, nothing about methodology or design of models, no discussion of instruments/transducers/gauges or Stephens shelters or proper location, no analyses & logical arguments over adjustments, homogenization, aggregation, no factor analysis, Maunder minimum, Roman warm period, Little Ice Age…
Just pretty people, snow, catastrophe, donate.
OTOH, here & on other climate web-logs, there are data, graphs, debates over methodology, solar activity, water vapor, methane, CO2, history, chemistry, problems interpreting tree rings from various places (because of soil nutrients, rain/drought, fire…), compensation for sensor satellite orbit wobbles… nuts & bolts. Their marketing/ propaganda techniques are far more sophisticated than our presentations.
We need more pretty pictures of beautiful people in stylish (but not too stylish) outfits (playing out-doors?, standing on mountain peaks, on flowered prairies, sorghum fields, scenic forest), posed smiling (or in consternation of imminent doom) into the camera to convince certain audiences.
“I found an ACE graph (storm energy over time) that struck me as very powerful evidence of a lack of storm severity worsening, catastrophic global warming… so I forwarded image & link to a warmist hysteric acquaintance because he had last week been claiming severe worsening of storms.
Now, I’m not a “climate scientist”, though I do take care to try to follow the scientific method”
Scientific method.
Find a graph.
dont check the source data
dont check the literature on the limitations of ACE as a metric
Decide the graph is EVIDENCE
send to someone else, equally unqualified to understand it.
SCIENCE!
Steven Mosher
And you would know what about science? Your a salesman!
Oh, I forgot, your employer handed you the title of scientist, so now you understand the scientific method.
Give it a rest mate.
Scientific method Mosh style:
make a witless drive by post.
SCIENCE!
SCIENCE is science shouted together by all 7 groupthink members, S,C,I,E,N,C and E.
I expect a lot of shouting, harrumphing at Trump’s Climate Commission. The Pentagon might label it a national security threat, and blame it on the Russians – casus-beli!
This young lady is exceedingly blessed. In earlier epochs, people fell for the story that burning witches at the stake would improve the weather and save their crops. Aspergers or autistic young girls for miles around were incinerated. Today they can declare CAGW and be deified.
When we were growing up we were all told that nuclear war was the greatest threat facing humanity.
Well, guess what. The nuclear weapons are still out there. Older, more unstable, but still out there. And they are spreading.
And a single miscalculation could do more damage in a single day than the very worst forecasts for global warming over the next 100 years.
So why is everyone worried about global warming and almost no one is worried about nuclear war?
And let’s not pretend nuclear war is something remote or unlikely. The risk is very real. NK has a working hydrogen boosted soviet layer cake device, capable of destroying the US power grid via an EMP pulse. As such, there is tremendous pressure on the US to launch a first strike on NK, which has a very real potential to spread to a nuclear exchange with China, with the Russians the big winners. Because if the NK launches first, the US is done as a world power.
And this doesn’t even begin to address the potential for technology transfer to Iran. The likely outcome dwarfs even the worst imaginings of climate science. So where are the school strikes.
Where are the movie stars heading to NK and Iran? Why do we only see them in Canada, for a photo shoot with oil sands and polar bears.
The movie stars and the other Lefties are afraid of murderous dictators. They don’t know how to deal with them, so they pretend they are not the problem but rather the United States is the problem. They do this because they think it is possible for them to control the behavior of the U.S. but they don’t think they can control the behavior of the murderous dictators, so they focus on the U.S. and any Republican president that might be in Office.
Fear is also the reason the Left won’t criticize radical Islam. They know there are lots of things to criticize about radical Islam, but they keep their mouths shut about it, even though some of the issues are “life and death” and women’s rights issues. Silence from them.
The radical Left are basically cowards. They are tough on their domestic opponents, mainly because Republicans won’t fight back (yet), but they want no part of taking on foreign opponents. They don’t know how to do it (witness the failure to defend the US southern border) and they don’t want any part of it. Which makes them incapable of defending the United States and should make them ineligible for elected office.
Democrat presidents get the US into international jams, and Repubican presidents have to go in and fix things.
Let’s keep the Democrats out of Office in the future and we will have a lot fewer problems. Electing Democrats is like allowing the inmates to run the asylum.
ferd berple
Give it a rest mate, you’re scaring the horses.
A single hurricane has the destructive energy of tens of thousand of nuclear weapons.
What a lovely young girl. She has the countenance of Mona Lisa and visage similar to portraits by other masters.
That is appropriate, I suppose, for one of those whose numbers are growing, so mysterious to us and created by The Master.
Have you been drinking & taking meds ???
saveenergy
It must be a full moon. Read this whole thread and even some you wouldn’t expect it from are dribbling the most wacky stuff.
Peta, on the other hand, has been heading in that direction for a while now.
Not a full moon so must be people with Alzheimer’s commenting on people with Aspergers ?
Now, what did I come in here for ??? (:-))
You came in here to make rude comments about afflicted children and any who might say something nice about them, didn’t you?
Did it help you feel better?
Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, the Belgian climate expert, an AGW believer and former vice-president of the IPCC, congratulated Greta Thunberg. Why am I not surprised?
I’m Asperger’s-like and really high-functioning autistic now, though I started out with classic autism as a little kid, and I’m a strong skeptic of CAGW alarmism!
The thing that I find the most amusing about Greta Thunberg, is that whenever she gives a speech about global warming, she is wearing a warm woolly hat, a warm padded jacket, and warm thick gloves.
Where is global warming when you need some?

I have Aspergers.
The climate is changing.
No, CO2 does not lead to runaway global warming.
There is a difference between education and indoctrination. Some people fail to recognize that, others take advantage of that. Kids are to young to recognize the difference.
