So strange to see the singularity approaching while the entire planet is rapidly turning into a hellscape. -John Coates

[rb1957]

do you "really" think she wrote 464 pages ?

we already know that an array of experts contributed as well.

is it possible (or unreasonable) that she wrote a foreword and maybe contributed some pieces and there was an editor pulling it all together ?

You're talking about a person who sailed across the Atlantic to prove a point. Whether you agree with her opinions and approach or not, it would be disingenuous in the extreme to not at least acknowledge that she's very determined.

In my opinion, the insinuation that she didn't write the book is being made only because some people want to put an aggressive climate activist in the 'low work ethic idiot' bucket.

 

[dik]

I have no reason to disbelieve it. It is likely the case, because one of the first thing that detractors would look at was to see if she wrote it. Failure of this one item could be almost as catastrophic as climate change.

Swinny, I don't know about other's opinions on the book, the first I heard of it was here. However, there has been a new trend lately and that is book deals as a method of laundering money. Do some political favors and get a multi-million dollar book deal. See "Promise Me, Dad" for an example.

"You're talking about a person who sailed across the Atlantic to prove a point." ... you're talking about someone who was a passenger on a sailboat.

[dik]

picky, picky... it was still a sailboat, and being a passenger doesn't detract from her actions.

[SwinnyGG]

Think about how many pages you could write when you're sitting around on a sailboat for 10 days or whatever

Look taking the stance that there's no possible way an adult person wrote a 400 page book is the most obvious possible take.

It's a lame attempt to invalidate whatever the book says because "there's no way she wrote it, man! after all she's in college now!".

I obviously haven't read the book and I'm no huge fan of hers; there's a good chance it's 400+ pages of bullshit - but come on. This is lame intellectual dishonesty at best.

It won't be out until Feb of next year, but I have one on order. The cover even has a climate change 'bar code' from U of Reading:

I didn't mean to invalidate the book ... only the hype that she wrote it.

personally I think the book will invalidate itself, if indeed it was written by an 18 year old.

[dik]

What hype? She likely did write it. She's done more things in her 19 years than most people do in a lifetime.

[rb1957]

and what ? the experts gave her notes, and she put words in their mouths ?

and what ? give us the benefit of her vast experience and worldly knowledge. "Knowledge" that leads her to say things like "Thunberg, who is still studying, said her least favourite subject in school was economics , because it is 'this thing that we humans have made up and we now worship it'. I can't wait.

[TugboatEng]

Don't forget "listen to the science".

Funny listening to someone who has been bankrolled by her wealthy parents complain about taking an economics class.

 

[rb1957]

I'm sure we'll be told what the science is ...

So does this new book coming out, cover climate engineering? Or just social engineering?
Nothing like a good engineering topic right?
dik is on board, lets see freon is out and what comes next?
And not to forget the ozone layer and damage to it from?
And this had no affect right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Argus

And then other such tests never mentioned.

More info on the topic

The cause of climate change they wish not to talk about

https://climate.nasa.gov/ask-nasa-climate/1065/nuking-the-sky/

Again bye bye freon, and then the real cause of the problems.

What is needed is more of this type of clean energy.

do you mean electric cosmology ?

I'll let you know when I read it... it has some world class authorities, attached.

We all got to see what world class authorities know during the COVID pandemic.

 

[dik]

Even with all the experts, the US had over 1,000,000 fatalities with Covid and still climbing. We'll see if they can handle climate change any better.
