I mentioned this in the last post, but didn’t have the evidence in hand, but it found me today.
Nicky Rothschild Hilton has a “high low” approach to fighting climate change – wear vintage Chanel and take the subway.
“I am here in support of [sustainable fashion brand] Maison de Mode … So I pulled out an old Alice + Olivia skirt and wore a vintage Chanel bag, and I took the subway here,” she told us at Fashion Group International’s Rising Star Awards at Cipriani 42nd Street. “I took the 6. I feel like I am doing my part.”
Hilton was also spotted at the opening of the Winter Show at the Park Avenue Armory — the annual art market that benefits The Bronx’s East Side House Settlement — and she reportedly said of the chic pencil skirt she was wearing while admiring a $24,000 sculpture of a cat, “It was $75 from Instagram.”
Ah, the perils of celebrity! But the Swedes have just nominated Greta Thunberg for the Nobel Peace Prize. Greta plans to trademark her name and the “Fridays for Future” campaign in a move meant “to protect the movement and its activities” she wrote on Instagram on Wednesday. She said she and her strikers have “absolutely no interest in trademarks, but unfortunately it needs to be done.”
The trademarks would cover the 17-year-old Swede’s name, as well as the name of the “Fridays for Future” movement and ‘Skolstrejk för klimatet’ (which translates as “School strike for the climate” in Swedish), the slogan on a sign she held during her weekly solo climate protests outside of Sweden’s parliament which inspired similar protests by other activists.
“Fridays For Future is a global movement founded by me. It belongs to anyone taking part in it, above all the young people. It can — and must — not be used for individual or commercial purposes,” she added.
CFact reports that the Washington Post, under some delusion claims that more plant growth is bad. It has been shown that global warming benefits plant growth, but that apparently worries them. They said:” We can’t recall the planet if we mess up. Climate change is risky business. They add an example: “The National Climate Assessment says there is at least a two-thirds chance that your asthma or hay fever will get worse because of climate change.”
As far as I can tell, “Climate Change” is simply this big scary thing that people are talking about. No one bothers to study up, read what the most respected scientists say, nor, for that matter to find out who the most respected scientists are. But that seems to be the way the public gets “informed.” They heard, or they read, or they saw. But that just doesn’t apply to “climate change” but to anything political, national, local or international. Our schools do not seem to be teaching that learning is a lifelong thing, and you have to keep working at it, because what we need to know is growing faster than was thought possible.
