This is a normal post Please do waste effort on the stupid to make them wise
I did Environmental Science GCSE, late 80s, global warming was not part of the syllabus. In fact the syllabus mainly used the example of the coming ice age theory, backed by Greenpeace and other international govts, as a how not to lesson.

A Leonard Nemoy presented film about it is on YouTube if anyone wants a real hoot. All the same people backed and funded that film as back global warming now, except isnt it a ‘climate holocaust’ in the new jargon? These are the same buy now pressure techniques a life insurance salesman might use. With the previous ice-age scare they used Mr Spock cos he is a clever tv character and that’ll convince ‘em, he had no formal training on the subject. More convincing than the teenage school drop-out by comparison, true. So the stupid is spread all over the greeny fictions as well.

In 80s Environmetal Science GCSE, I’d say the overriding common exam question was about “peak oil” and that too fell by the wayside in the intervening years. Lastly a note for an equivalence being made elsewhere here: Greenpeace is richer than many oil companies at this point, mainly due to the way they keep refreshing their product lines. Though yes, follow the money always.

This is a normal post Look out lads a fallacy from authority
Point was made above about “learning about global warming in the 80s” taking an exam in the subject in that period in which it was not even prominent in the syllabus is entirely cogent. Obviously one A level counter bid trumps me, or 97% of scientists maybe.

This is a normal post greenpeace, as a registered charity, produce audited financial statements that anyone can read
Here is greenpeace international's financial report: www.greenpeace.org/static/planet4-international-stateless/2021/06/0639667b-greenpeace-international-combined-financial-statement-2020.pdf. Their worldwide turnover was 90 million euro, with 52 million euro in assets, which puts them as about a medium sized charity.
Now if I take Santos, which is a medium sized oil producer in Australia, a very small player by world standards. their profit was 1.8 billion.
So you're not only wrong when you say "Greenpeace is richer than many oil companies at this point", you're wrong by a factor of 100s, which takes a special kind of ignorance. So when I say "how fucking stupid people are", here's a good example. and along with many stupid people, you won't let this change your mind. you'll keep repeating this absurd claim as if you have access to some inside information. you don't.

This is a normal post Given the username, he'll keep repeating it.
Projection seems to be endemic in far right wing circles, they are most annoyed by their own behaviour; Which they seem to have little insight into.

Ooh look, another one has had their arse kicked

This is a normal post Hi, troll.
I took my GCSE Geography in the mid 90s, all our textbooks were from the 80s, and nothing at all was taught to us about a coming ice age, so you'll understand me assuming you're a fucking liar, or some sort of b0t regurgitating facebook nonsense.
