ANALYSIS: I'm a critical thinking expert. This is how you win any climate change debate

Each time Thunberg speaks, these issues are centre-stage. She is not distracted by rhetoric, straw-man arguments, personal abuse or by condescension or appeals to economic theory.in March, Thunberg responds with uncommon clarity to those who seek to put the burden of action back on her:

Some people say that I should study to become a climate scientist so that I can"solve the climate crisis." But the climate crisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions.Thunberg also refuses to be distracted by patronising comments. When meeting with the US Senate's climate crisis taskforce in September, she was commended for her enthusiasm andPlease save your praise.

Thunberg says she has Asperger's syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder . She describes it as a"superpower"Research has found that people with ASD have a heightened ability to

I can’t believe our tax dollars fund this absolute crap. Unbelievable.

Peter, how can you claim to be a 'critical thinking expert' when you cannot express a critical thought in your story? You claim that Greta is on point by saying that warming is man made, but critical thinking demands objectivity and this point is not objective.

ALL IN FEAR MONGERS AWARD, JOKE

THIS IS JUST CRAP CRAP CRAP, I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN HOSPITALS FOR 45 YEARS WHERE IS MY AWARD, THERE IS PEOPLE ATTITUDE CHANGE, ITS JUDT BLOIDY GARBAGE

Happy holidays in the Ellerton household! I didn’t realise Greta was brilliantly persuasive, you know with all that haranguing of her audience and all “How dare you”

A Critical thinking Expert Wow . She is a spoilt Arrogant Brat who thinks she knows it all but knows Nothing. She knows Nothing about the History of our Planet nor Human History. Just being a Parrot ( Listen to the Science) over and over. She wouldn't win an Argument anywhere

I believe in a god, I believe my wife loves me, I believe my kids are good, I believe politicians are parasites. Belief is NOT scientific or factual proof of anything. When there are FACTS and real experiments that prove humans are causing global warming let me know.

Greta isn’t focussed - she’s indoctrinated, a mouthpiece for alarmism like and ConversationEDU. They refuse to discuss science. Not much critical thinking going on there. another principal of critical thinking: beware of self-proclaimed experts.

She has a script for goodness sake! Someone is writing it for her.

OK here's an open invite to miss Thunberg to debate the facts surrounding Anthropogenic warming. Your terms?

Time to act on Clmate and not ' critical thinking ' Only. Greta Thunberg

Critical thinking, I often wish I had such self confidence. Man made climate change, yep, just please don't let that weird girl run the show to fix it.

Start with the Truth

'I'm a critical thinking expert' You're clearly not.

pharnzwurth Now we've concluded Greta's good at repeating a set of mandates. Let's use some real critical thinking and think about who is behind the campaign & what they're actually asking for, what their objectives are. Why are we saying to the ppl who got us here, 'Take our damn money'?

Who made Greta an expert?

How to win : Don't be a simple idiot.

A Critical thinking Twit of a Puppet. We need to do whatever is necessary to protect our atmosphere whilst this planet transitions through its natural evolvements. In the end nature will have the defining effect. The best we can do is assist clean up our act.

Catastrophizing is a mental illness, prove me wrong.

THIS IS YOU WIN ANY CLIMATE CHANGE DEBATE. WAKE UP WITH 🌞RISE.

...she is an actress.

She’s like a broken record. Only has 5 key lines fed to her to repeat.

Clearly the ABC has made up its mind on the what constitutes winning the climate change debate.

“activist Greta Thunberg — a master of staying on topic.” Regardless of how you feel about her - this is not a skill, but a side effect of her self stated mental conditions. And we’ve see her get lost when off script too.

And he uses an appeal to authority ('I'm an expert') which critical thinking texts highlight as a bias that can prevent effective critical thinking.

Such a good read, and worth clicking through to their paper on the topic... and the video! 👏🏽👏🏽

The fact that as a matter of fact backed by overwhelming evidence that climate change is an 'emotive and controversial topic' it's no wonder we're in paralysis. You can't debate science. It just IS. You don't get your own facts.

How to make your own propaganda for Christmas. Stupid move.

Being skilled at critical thinking doesn't mean that the guy isn't a liar, it just means he is more skilled at telling lies than his victims are at detecting or refuting them. He does not hold the moral high ground & clearly knows very little about all of the relevant science.

' I'm a critical thinking expert' - endorses Greta Thunburg school of trotting out IPCC talking points. Lol. That's not critical thinking 🤦‍♂️

'Let a disturbed and manipulated 16 year old, tell you what to believe'. ClimateHoax

So many adults angry about a child pointing out the obvious.

By shouting how dare you and acusing them.of stealing your childhood, easy peasy

Climate anxious are critical thinkers no no no they just like being fed bullshit nonstop remember if you repeat the lie and make it really big nobody questions it...

Peter has 'students'.... Terrifying indoctrination activists FakeNews

Sounds like a wanker to me. Expert?

This is fine, but it assumes those we are arguing follow these rules of logic. They often don’t. I know how to spot logical fallacies, but that’s not much good when you’re arguing with a relative across the dinner table that doesn’t even know what a logical fallacy is 🤨

'staying on topic'? That's what auts do best. Wind them up and press the 'Go' button. They are the very opposite of 'critical thinking experts'. Obsessives

All you need to convince people climate change is fact is develop a browser extension that converts scientific papers to 48pt Helvetica on a stock image background. That seems to be all the deniers are capable of reading.

Melbourne and most other cities aren’t shrouded in smoke . Lost argument already .

Do yourself a favour UQ. If this is your expert (ex is a has been & a spurt is a drip under pressure) in critical thinking then a reality check on what critical thinking is, how it should be used, applied & by whom. Then again, it’s UQ. Carry on...

FrankenGreta is a monster created by her parents & the media, Greta's aspergers syndrome is being made worse sadly 😪🤦‍♂️, child abuse is ugly to see 😪. auspol

Oh .. & I’m a critical thinking expert lol

You cannot reason with someone who denies science - it really is that simple.

Ok doomed , I mean doona, I mean dorma, I mean DOOMA 😇😉

She's an expert? Why would an expert bark at those who'll never listen and never make an impact? She could concentrate on motivating the people to help do better but she doesn't. All she's doing is making good and bad sides when all are guilty. Blah Blah Blah

Now we know the perfect formula of topic, headline and photo to enrage a bunch of right wing snowflakes. Well done

Well he's a critical something.

Re: 'Each time Thunberg speaks, these issues are centre-stage. She is not distracted by rhetoric, straw-man arguments, personal abuse or by condescension........' LOL, her 'handlers' usher her away the moment anyone approaches her with freakin' question!!😂

I applied critical thinking to this article and the flowchart failed me. I couldn't find the line called 'bias'. Really. Odd saying Greta 'not bothering with school if politicians ignore science' is good while saying 'stop driving cars' skirts the point at issue. So is she.

Reading the tweets below make me feel like we're living in Disenlightment Dark Ages. So many fools professing as science experts: Dunning-Kruger effect in full swing.

It`s a long time since one read such a monumental load of garbage!

The term 'climate change' is being thrown around as the blame for everything. There is a difference between pollution and a weather pattern.

Credit is earned, not given yet here is an academic who claims he is an expert himself. He rides on the back of global warming to get himself some recognition to write a lot but say nothing practical.

That's the funniest headline I have read all year.

. This is NOT critical thinking at all. It is a method of winning an argument. The two are UNRELATED. Critical thinking is used to understand an issue & determine cause-effect relationships. In relation to clumate change, you need to assess the evidence & not just rhetoric. .

Alright I need to do a video response to this article, this is just nonsense. auspol climategate

No wonder theirABC is losing relevance

For an article about critical thinking, it sure makes a lot of unsubstantiated claims.

Oh the irony of starting even the article's title with a logical fallacy.

Sorry, but staying on topic is no use in a discussion if youre wrong. Greta is wonderful at browbeating her opinion across the room at other people but not terribly articulate or knowledgable on the details of her argument. Thats not how you win a debate. Its how you annoy ppl.

To funny a script for brainless know it all's!
