She got to Glasgow by train from London. Can’t say how she got to London but I would imagine train or boat but she’s been pretty open about not flying. She has sailed to and from the US when she has gone there recently.

Now there is a comeback of technology, vessels with actual sails, that would be great to see. It’ll never happen mind…

It makes perfect sense, and pointing out that someone who wants to reduce carbon release as much as possible, actually used some in a society that's based upon cheap fossil fuels, isn't the gotcha moment you believe it to be, and only illuminates your aggression in the face of fact.

You've been told many times before about the cost of air pollution Pete. Maybe doctors from children's hospitals will be more persuasive?

Cycling children’s doctors prepare to confront world leaders over air pollution

Hospital staff ride hundreds of miles to key climate summit to call for urgent action

I totally agree. China and Russia will just ignore all of this anyway. Clean air, clean countryside, clean rivers and clean seas are a must if we wish to continue living.….

Why people take Greta Thunberg seriously about anything is beyond my comprehension.

Because she, and the young people she's galvanised, are less easy to ignore than the scientists who have been ignored for decades? If actual experts hadn't been dismissed for so long we perhaps wouldn't be in this situation where we need a school child to guilt us into change.

And intercept all the poop manufacturing the likes of you off-shored there decades ago? You know why they're up there on the emissions list, and even with fudged accounting, have a lower per capita emission level than us.

She’s right in what she says as well.

COP26: Greta Thunberg tells protest that COP26 has been a 'failure'

The Swedish activist was speaking after thousands of climate protestors marched through Glasgow.

Guess this backlash would come on to any prominent figure who’s saying this kind of thing but she seems to rile up a lot more people than you’d expect.
