Time for this again.

I wasn't being smug, I was somewhat flabbergasted. Nevertheless I plead guilty to quite possibly communicating badly, so I'll try a reload:

Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) = man-made global warming (ie excessive carbon emissions brought about by human activity).

Extinction Rebellion (XR) are a global movement who participate in non-violent direct protest action in order to try and persuade governments to do more, a lot more, in the fight against AGW.

Last week saw the largest XR actions to date, in cities around the world. Yesterday evening Greta Thunberg, a Swedish 16 year old schoolgirl who is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her AGW activism, spoke to the XR crowd at Marble Arch in London UK. Marble Arch is a legal protest site allocated by the police for XR. 

Uninterested = indifferent/meh.
Disinterested = not in a position where your financial situation might be influenced by the matter under discussion.

Here's a video of Greta's speech:

This:
"Nice one Kit. Are American atheists generally uninterested in anthropogenic global warming? I perish the thought you might be disinterested $$$"

Was the third post in the thread and is unrelated to the previous two posts neither of which was from Kit, that and the reference to American atheists was another curved ball. It puggled my fragile little mind.

Nope, it doesn't make much sense in the sober light of day, agreed (Easter Sunday jollies were in effect at time of posting).

Something like, props to Kit for giving kudos to the OP and being surprised there wasn't more interest/posts in the thread, I think.

It's not just on this thread, sadly.

963 arrests - last week's events are unprecedented in many ways.

Naaaa, it's all a leftist conspiracy designed to topple liberty, haven't you been listening to the Trumpets?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

You're all screwed. Get used to that idea, it's your future.
