Most nations on the continent of Africa are what as known as “developing nations”, which often means “3rd world sh*tholes”. Not all. But, if you want them to develop, you don’t put massive restrictions on them. St. Greta is, like most Warmists, a dictator at heart who demands that Other People comply
Greta Thunberg seeks Africa climate change action
Teen activist Greta Thunberg has hosted a press conference to stress the importance of how climate change is affecting people in Africa.
One of those taking part was Vanessa Nakate, a Ugandan at the centre of a race row at Davos last week.
She was angered after she was cropped out of a photograph taken with her white peers, including Ms Thunberg.
She said activists in Africa campaigned as much as their counterparts elsewhere but were often ignored by the media.
“This is the time for the world to listen to the activists from Africa and to pay attention to their stories,” Ms Nakate told journalists via a video link from Uganda’s capital, Kampala.
“This is an opportunity for media to actually do some justice to the climate issues in Africa.”
The other part of climate justice for Africa is a massive transfer of wealth from 1st World Nations to African nations, wealth that comes with zero strings attached because, per climate justice doctrine, the 1st World Nations owe the 3rd World ones.
The event was organised in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, by Ms Thunberg’s #FridaysForFuture movement, which she started in August 2018 inspiring millions around the world to demand more be done to stop climate change.
The 17-year-old said she wanted to use the media attention she attracted to focus on climate change in Africa as “the African perspective is so under-reported”.
That’s not patronizing at all. But, hey, St. Greta will get lots of money as she trademarks Fridays For Future, eh?
11,374 cases of the virus reported by China.
259 deaths which is a significant rise. At one point the number that had recovered exceeded the number who had died but now that has reversed again and deaths out number recovered.
A paper. NO PEER REVIEWED PAPER put out by Several scientists from China. I must stress this was not peer reviewed but was indeed put out by the highest level scientists from china concluded in their paper.
the N factor was 4.03. That was the mean. It was 3.57-4.77 for the range. This is very bad news for the world.
Why?
The N factor of this virus is how many people ONE person and infect. In this case, the mean of their study if 4.03 with the above range. Anything over or approaching 4 is horrible.
To extrapolate that for a moment.
Day 1….1 person
Day 2….4 people
Day 3….16 people
Day 20…………………..265 billion infected.
You can see where this is going if you remember the penny trick pay someone 1 penny the first day then double their pay every day for 30 days and you end up in the millions. Well, when you double that number to 4 you literally end up with 265 billion people…BILLION not MILLION. Earth obviously only has 7+ billion not 265 plus billion.
Also, this paper concluded what I suspected. The death rate is 5.65 percent and not the 2.5 everyone has been saying and that will likely go up once the health systems are overwhelmed.
So the N number along with the fact you can transfer this without symptoms is why the Trump team needed to lock down the USA and every human in this country with the sniffles when this thing gets going needs to self Isolate.
Again this was a non peer reviewed paper conducted by 7 of China’s top scientists. The paper is actually online.
Another study: https://foreignaffairs.co.nz/2020/01/23/mil-osi-china-study-reveals-how-novel-coronavirus-infects-humans/
This is up your alley Elwood perhaps you can enlighten us with your science background. I mean that sincerely not as a joke. Time for the left and right to work together.
In this study, China concluded the virus rate affects men almost twice as likely as women. 59-41 percent. They site reasons why the believe this but again China is a country in which there are more men than women because of cultural reasons so. This study is a bit skeptical.
My apologies folks. I was up half the night researching this because I had other chores in the evening that needed to be done along with helping the family.
I see not only did I post this under the wrong article but I made several spelling and grammar mistakes and a couple of improper words in my above post. Again. I should have woken up before posting. My apologies.
Trump has already allowed the virus into the USA
There has already been person to person transmission here in the USA
Nice job Donny
@John.
It’s trumps fault too that Beetlejuice is dimming and might go super nova in the next 1 day to 100,000 years.
In fact in the year 8872, when it goes super nova the left will rise up and protest in the streets against the 302nd president of the United States Donalisa Trumpista Don Mafioso the 18th.
St. TEACH typed: St. Greta Looks To Force Africa To Comply With Her Dictates
There was nothing in TEACH’s typings nor anything in the article to support TEACH’s smear.
The actual point was that the continent of Africa, while generating only 4% of greenhouse gases, stands to suffer greatly from global warming, and that African climate activists are sidelined by the media.
China, the US, Europe, India are the primary causes of global warming, not African nations.
TEACH typed: The other part of climate justice for Africa is a massive transfer of wealth from 1st World Nations to African nations
Can anyone expound on that claim? Maybe putting numbers in place?
@Elwood

I believe this to be factually incorrect.
First you cannot predict the future and second there are dozens of instances where climate patterns have shifted and the desserts are blooming, meaning more rain and more area to cultivate for Africa.
Also, Elwood, I would ask you a simple question.
When you constantly propose a tax. Where does that tax money go? Into the general coffers? How does it stop climate change when you tax people insignificant amounts. Obama’s AGW czar said gasoline needed to be 9-12 dollars a gallon to make a difference. How does taxing an airplane ticket 30 bucks stop that plane from flying? Or raising gas prices 30 cents a gallon stop people from driving?
Where does your tax money go? What is the plan?
Here’s a discussion.
https://www.thebalance.com/carbon-tax-definition-how-it-works-4158043
But why do you care since global warming is a scam/hoax and conservative politicians are daily consolidating their minority rule in the US?
I am speechless. What an awesome investment of your time to convince me why your cabon tax scheme is so great.
Wow I am convinced. That link you posted told me that by heavily taxing corporations they would use HYDRO ELECTRIC energy and the world would be saved. Even though Hydro only produces 6.1 percent of all electricity in the USA.
And wow. Windmills and solar. Are going to get us to work. and then they never did really discuss where this tax money is going after we pay it.
My guess is to IMPEACH TRUMP and then Trump Jr. and then Kushner and then Trumps daughter and then by that Time Baron should be ready to be president. All hail the king.
We know Thursday morning Schitt and Nadless will be back holding hearings and secret basement depositions to impeach Trump again. So I surmise the tax money is for Impeaching King Trump and his line of successors…..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
But why do you care? Global warming is a hoax/scam and in the US conservatives rule. Trump will rule for at least another 4+ years and Cons will have the House, Senate and SCOTUS. Nothing will ever happen.
You could have made a good point: carbon taxes are regressive, which is what Cons promote. Let the working classes pay taxes so that the rich can get more tax cuts using their money to build factories, paying for the carbon tax!!
#Don’t be Greta.
Lolgf
Old bitter men do not like Greta
Well she will be here long after they have gone
Fools of all ages are taken in by a retarded child. How sad. I suppose if you’re dumb enough to buy man made climate Armageddon you’re dumb enough to by children as leaders. You may think you’re cute pointing at bitter old men but in reality you’re just a sexist bigot.

Kye,
Most adults who understand global warming today understood it before Ms. Thunberg came along. For all your anger, she is still right about global warming and is acting on her beliefs. Good for her.
How does it make you feel to be dumber than a teenager you call “retarded”.
Elwood, you’re so conventional. Do you really believe shaming me about your retarded teenager? Again, rather than call me dumber than you retarded box of rocks you could have used a rational argument.
Shaming, as practiced today, is simply a power play. Whether it has to do with the climate, Caucasians, males, heterosexuals, etc. it’s purpose is not to engage dialogue but to dominate the narrative.
Her “how dare you” says it all, in her self-absorbed righteousness. Your inability to get beyond the bullshit Greta believes is astounding. You are the reason the Democrat party is coming apart at the seams. Keep on truckin’. The more damage you radicals do to the formerly great Party the better.
Trump 2020 Cause we’re not stupid enough to buy the shit that Greta does
As for Africa. They surely need our help. This is going to be brutal when and if it spreads to their continent especially since they are in the middle of another Ebola outbreak.
IMPORTANT NEWS:
For the fifth time in recorded history, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global health emergency, this time in response to an Ebola outbreak that continues to ravage the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Was anyone even aware of this? Did our MSM even cover the suffering going on in Africa? No, unfortunately, we have a press with a one-track mind.
Yeah, this was issued back in July. SHAME ON THE MSM. SHAME ON FOX AND CNN AND MSNBC AND ABC< CBS<NBC< OAN<HUFFPO<HILL< POLITICO<WAPO<NYT<LAT….etc…etc.
Shame on the MSM. Hell, even now there are 50 articles on Orange man bad and 1 on nCov.
This is why we need to be done with this impeachment so we can get on with defending America and the world against a virus that can destroy the world’s economy and kill potentially 100’s of millions not to mention with WHO forced to fight nCov they will not have resources to fight EBOLA and if that spreads.
Yes Africa needs our help but not for global warming. St. Greta needs to be pounding her first for nCov and Ebola not rising co2. If she did, she could make a difference.
Nice.
Turdberg. Grubby Turdberg.
Tubby Grubby Turdenbergen?
Lol
Teach
Solar costs keep falling every year
In 2030, ten years from now solar is expected to be THE cheapest source of electrical power Africa is the sunniest of all countries
Coal fired thermal plants have a lifespan of 30-50 years does it make economic sense to build one now ?
Well maybe if you want the government to control power generation
Africa is a country? Who knew?
“Coal fired thermal plants have a lifespan of 30-50 years does it make economic sense to build one now ?” Since you’re not an economist, a businessman or a scientist you couldn’t know that if coal fired plants make money then yes, Virginia it makes economic sense to build them. Secondly, if the government prevents investment in coal fired plants that is the definition of the government control of energy production.
BTW, a 30-50 year lifespan is very good.
Trump 2020 Don’t let the children run the show.
Notice that our two racist communist are all concerned about Africa, at least today. I wonder if they are aware that the Sahara is beginning to turn green again. Horrible, terrible global warming, or cooling or whatever. And they can not explain how taxes solve the problem.
Depends on where you are, genius.

A comment so dumb, david dookie had to say it twice.
I think it’s a great idea that Greta is using her stardom to make Africa a better place. I hope she manages to throw a few words in about how raping little girls does not cure AIDS.
