The low-pressure system that became Dorian formed on Aug. 23, strengthened to a tropical storm on Aug. 25, and became a hurricane on Aug. 28; 13 days of tracking and worrying so far. That it seems like months is a credit to the vigilance of our churn with concern media. A bit of worry is useful to get us focused on what needs to be done in the here and now, but excessive worry quickly becomes counterproductive.
It may even turn into an obsession, as it has for Swedish teen Greta Thunberg.
I don’t know about you but I don’t think it wise to take your “time to panic” cue from a self-described child climate activist whose enlightened views are the sum total of 16 years of cultural propaganda.
In a speech to a packed committee of the European Parliament, Thunberg, 16, warned time is running out to stop the ravages of global warming.
"I want you to panic, I want you to act as if the house was on fire," Thunberg told the environment committee…Citing scientific reports endorsed by the United Nations and holding back her tears, she warned of accelerating disasters like mass species extinction, erosion of top soil, deforestation, air pollution, loss of insects and the acidification of oceans. - Yahoo
Ms. Thunberg, who sailed rather than flew to the U.S. in order to minimize her carbon footprint, has no more concept of the rules of nature at play in the creation of ‘global climate’ than do the United Nations representatives who idiotically ‘endorse scientific reports’ for a living.
And while I’m glad Greta found a cause that brought her out of her Asperger's shell, that does not mean she knows anything beyond her indoctrination.
Cute kid, glad she’s left her eating disorder behind in favor of fighting global warming; but shut up.
And having Asperger’s does not give you superpowers, you still have to work at it like everyone else. I’ve worked with people who were high functioning Asperger’s. They were very competent but they got that way the old fashioned way: they went to college and/or grad school and studied hard. Because whatever skills and abilities they may have been born with, coding and performing complex financial calculations still required instruction and learning.
So shut up Greta, and I don’t say that because you have Asperger’s, I say that because you don’t know what you’re talking about.
And may God help the people in Dorian’s path, because climate activists aren’t going to.

She needs to shut up and make me a sammich
16 year old humans in the throes of puberty are not useful resources for any information, other than their experience with stuff like pimples and unwanted surprise erections.
Once a culture lifts up children as “wise”, and older men as foolish, the writing is on the wall. It’s gonna leave a mark.
We started down that path in the late 50’s.
To function with Aspergers, one must work hard to do the things that come naturally to others, like having empathy or communicating. Once that is accomplished, whatever talents they are born with can be realized.
At 16, there is no reason to hope that Greta has accomplished these things.
I always listen to 16-year-olds, because I remember how much wiser and well-informed I was at that age. < /sarc>
The news these days is so over-wrought, I lost interest years ago.
She is about to embark on a lucrative career. She will rake in the money from speeches, appearances and book deals. She can go to any American college free now. The dem party will invite her to the convention. Nice life, all thanks to petroleum.
Reminds me of one of my favorite Mark Twainisms:
“When I was 16 I thought my parents were really dumb. When I turned 20, I couldn’t believe how much they’d learned in only four years.”
There were more and bigger hurricanes in other years.
It's official: No U.S. warming since at least 2005

Soph, who was banned from YouTube, has a great response:

She has a great channel, and she was banned for her Islam video.
Propaganda is still propaganda. The media is turning everyone into snowflakes, afraid of their own shadows, weak, seeing evil in the best of humanity, in our heritage, in our successes, and exceptionalism.
WOW! - I need to make HER a sammich
On the other hand, ex President Obama is unconcerned enough about the rise of oceans that he just paid 14 million bucks for a beach house on Martha’s Vineyard
The older I get, the smarter my parents were.
At my current age, I realize they were geniuses.
I’m not sure I would eat a sammich made by Wednesday Addams...
Teddy? Izzat you?
Wednesday Addams. That is funny. Also like the “churn the concern” in the article. Hurricanes are not different from 300 years ago; the number of people and infrastructure in their path makes them “bigger”.
I doubt she even knows what a Milankovitch cycle is, or an Interglacial.
