Pretty much agree Archived Message

Well, I pretty much agree with your take. I know you're often going on about planting trees which is setting a great example. Like you, I also suspect that life will continue on Earth, although in very different ways and possibly without humans. Of course, there is a distinct possibility we may end up like Venus -- who really knows?
Yes, there is uncertainty, but you know one cannot have a mathematical proof. An overwhelming scientific consensus and such graphs as in my previous message to me are as much proof as I need. As you say, we need to act decisively, and that's really the main message from Greta.
Shooting her down as "emotionally disturbed" as Orlov does means one doesn't have to take her and her message seriously. Plays nicely into the hands of those who want "business as usual". A shame, as I like Orlov's incisive mind on many other matters like geo-politics. I suspect this may be why you're reluctant to criticize him?
