A New Low for Climate Change Extremism
Greta Thunberg Is A Child Abuse Victim
Yet, Climate Change Activists Cheer Her On!?

Quote:

Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old girl selected by the media to be the poster child of climate alarmism, gave another hysterical speech on Monday. This time, at the U.N., she declared that the Earth is undergoing a "mass extinction" which, she warns, probably cannot be averted. "How dare you," the distraught teen cried. "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood." On one level, I can relate to this sentiment because it's exactly what I said after watching the "Lion King" remake. On another level, as a parent, I find this girl very hard to watch. It is obvious that she really believes her delusional doomsday fantasies. That is because they are not her fantasies — she is merely repeating what she has been told by adults who know better. Thunberg, as the media likes to remind us, is autistic and OCD. This section of a Daily Beast profile gives us a brief outline of her psychological issues:    [quote] But thanks to the formal diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome coupled with high-functioning autism and obsessive compulsive disorder, the now-16-year-old Swede has become quite literally the poster child for the generation that will have to deal with the destruction of our planet. Once she started receiving multifaceted treatment, Thunberg was able to channel her anxiety into something we should all be concerned about: The health of the planet and the science behind apocalyptic warnings of its demise.     In October 2018, Thunberg started having anxiety-ridden 3 a.m. nightmares, but unlike before, they were not about her. The recurring nightmares were about the impact of global warming on the planet, according to the book, Scenes From the Heart, she wrote with her parents and sister Beata, who also suffers from many of the same emotional conditions.     This time, instead of holing up in her bedroom as she did before treatment, she decided that her anxiety about the climate needed to become everyone else's, too. One of the aspects of her complicated diagnosis is obsession. Her family says she just wouldn't let the idea go that the planet was burning up and there was ample science to prove it.

The Daily Beast recounts all of this like we shouldn't be concerned. But what we're being told is that an obsessive, mentally troubled young girl came to believe — mistakenly — that the apocalypse is upon us. Rather than calm these terrible fears, and redirect her in a healthier direction, the adults in her life have only encouraged her paranoia. And now the media is only too happy to exploit her fear in order to stoke even more fear. Creating fear with fear. That is the media's specialty.

This is child abuse. If any grown up in Thunberg's life really cared about her psychological and emotional well-being, they would sit her down and explain that climate change is not going to destroy human civilization. Yes, the climate is changing. Climates tend to do that. But whatever role humans play in that process, and to whatever degree, it is not going to result in the end of all life as we know it. Talk of a 10-year, or 12-year, or 20-year, timeline before planetary catastrophe is all an invention of politicians and media personalities. Scientists don't speak this way.

When I was a child, they told us of an imminent future without rainforests. Well, I am now living in that imminent future and the rainforests are doing okay. Sure, there was a problem with deforestation. We were cutting down more trees than we should have. But the dystopian vision of a world without trees was — and I couldn't have known this at the time, because I was just a kid — completely insane. It is possible to say "trees are good and we shouldn't wantonly destroy them" without adding "and soon all the trees will be gone and you will suffocate." But the environmental alarmists always choose to tack on the apocalyptic bit at the end, undermining the validity of their message and creating unnecessary panic.

Once again, we must call this what it is: Child abuse. It may be a smart political move to traumatize children with these End Times prophecies, but it is morally abominable. Yes, tell kids to recycle, pick up trash, plant trees — all fine and worthwhile pursuits. But the hysteria is entirely unjustified. Let kids be kids. They shouldn't have to wake up every morning with hallucinatory fears about the planet's demise.

I always thought that the The Extremist-Left were low, cowardly liars......but this 'sick exploitation'  is by far the lowest of the low to come from the Climate Change Hysterical Left.

It sickens me see how they abuse this poor child, & it becomes worse still when they applaud & praise her......egging her on to what I think will actually be a possible "Mass Extinction".....not due to Climate Change, but due to intentional child abuse upon a susceptible & fragile generation.  >:(

..

How dare these Global Warming Extremists allow this poor girls sicknesses to consume her to what personal damage & jeopardy?

They're forcing her & her generation into a self-inflicted martyrdom!

They must be held accountable!!

Yes yes, I have two words for this: Crocodile tears.  If any of you thinks this person Matt Walsh, cares about child abuse or the welfare of this child, then you are sadly deluding yourself.  He is making this article, purely for his own personal and financial gain.

She is NOT some doomsayer, what she spoke about at the UN assembly is not some unfounded religious rubbish.  And it is not about planetary catastrophy like hollywood movies.  Sure, humanity will live on even if there is 4 degree variation. However, the geosocial and political impact of this change, would mean that people will lose their homes, and people will die.  And to her, and young people this is unacceptable.   And to that, I think this is perfectly reasonable to say.

And then Matt goes on about how when he was a child, people said that there will be a world without trees.  Well, if people like him have his way, then yes, the world would be with very little trees.  It is only combined conservation efforts of people like Greta, people who cares about the future and the environment, that we forced the government to conserve, and to protect.  So, he should be thanking people like her. 

Matt talked about let kids be kids... and reasoned that they shoudnt have to wake up every morning with hallucinatory fears about planet's demise.  Well, i it is not hallucinating when biologist is telling us, that we are appear to be undergoing a 6th mass extinction event.  Something is terribly wrong with our planet.  And I think it is more child abuse to feed them the lies of 'etneral economic" growth, and stating everything is going to be okay.

Throughout his article, Matt deliberately attempt to portray Greta as mental unwell, and twisting her words without actually quoting or dispute the facts around her speech.   The most critical of which is this sentence: "People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, "

And its true, world wide, people are suffering, dying from medical illness relating to pollution.   Eco systems have either collapsed or under enormous stress, and we are facing a 6th extinction event in which the scientist called "the Holocene event".   And all of this information are widely available,  on the internet, in the libraries. 

And you know what, Matt did not even mention any of this.  What did he mention?  A story about him when he was younger about a planet of no trees, and look now, there are still trees, so we must not worry.  Now how is this a credible dispute.  It is not, its just a thinly veiled attempt to discredit a brave young person of her age, gender and medical condition. 

No Panther, I am very sure that this young girl is not exploited by some fairy tale left wing environmental alarmist.  But rather, her gender, age and health being is being hijacked by the extreme right wing, to further their own personal and financial gains.   And THAT, is real child abuse, Matt should be ashamed, and should apologize.

The only people who should be ashamed here are the UN, & the so called adults that defend the Extreme Climate Change Alarmist Left in this obvious case of Child Abuse........

You are actually defending this child abuse as if it doesn't exist.

We've never crossed paths before AFIK, but it seems when extreme leftist agendas are called for what they are, the left will send it's minions out.....welcome, & say hello to your fellow leftist defender of the faith.....Donkey Boy, meet TickleMynose.....you both have a lot in common!!

Throughout his article, Matt have never raised the specifics or quoted what she was saying and then back it up with evidence why it was wrong.   If he did that, then, I would give him the benefit of doubt.  But look at what he has done?   He had made very obvious attempts to emphasize her age, her gender, and her medical condition, and to imply that due to these, she was not able to make her own mind, form her opinion, or present evidence on her own behalf. 

Panther, the young girl in question is 16 years old.  She is not 6.  And by having depression or autism, does not mean that she cannot present her point of view on her own.   There are countless individuals on our society, who have lead a successful career, only to stumble on their own diagnosis later on.   To me, Matt is using this misconception about age, gender and mental health, to stigmatize her.  At at the same time, bring this fairyland of global left alarmist. 

I have formed a different opinion to you.  I believe in this case, Matt is the one that should apologize.

She's not happy.

Well St Greta of Thunberg was a little distressed.

Opinion by JACQUES VOORHEES

“My message is that we’ll be watching you. This is all wrong, I shouldn’t be up here, I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean.”

So she realises she should be in school.

“Yet, you all come to us young people for hope, how dare you?”

"Not sure where you’re getting your information. No sentient adult goes to young people “for hope,” whether they’ve been “dared” to or otherwise. Normally, when adults consider young people like yourself, the operative word is “despair.” And if you’re unfamiliar with that word, it means “absence of hope.”"

“…and yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing.”

"Meanwhile back in reality, none of that is occurring."

“How dare you continue to look away and come here saying that you’re doing enough when the politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight.”

"Another rule of effective speaking: don’t contradict yourself, especially within a single sentence. If the “politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight,” what exactly are you expecting these UN diplomats to do, beyond what they’re already doing? If the solutions are truly nowhere in sight, you’re certainly not going to get them from this crowd."

I personally think she'll make a great Virgin Sacrifice
to the Gods of War.

Isn't that why the young girls in the world are upset and crying?
Are all forming their Global Pony Club and putting the wind up 'Daddy' Politics to stop the Child Abuse of destroying their 'future'.

What the world is witnessing via this girl is that you don't have to be a Scientist to realise this World is heading for DOOM.

Ah. you mean like Greta can see CO2? You know that colourless, odourless gas.

So that is a fact, jack.

Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.

In other news -

Nature has retracted a paper by Resplandy et al, 2018. It had tried to show the warming of the oceans.


It probably won't rate a mention in the MSM.

Quote:

........Greta was diagnosed as a child with obsessive-compulsive disorder and Asperger’s syndrome, just like her younger sister Beata. The activist also has a photographic memory. She knows all the capitals by heart and can list all the chemical elements of the periodic table within one minute. In addition, she has another gift according to her mother. “Greta is able to see what other people cannot see,” writes Malena Ernman in the book. “She can see carbon dioxide with the naked eye. She sees how it flows out of chimneys and changes the atmosphere in a landfill.”.........

yes you have funny ideas about what children should be exposed too..from memory you were quite happy to have I believe she was 7 at the time your daughter exposed to what Madonna offered of herself to anyone who voted for Hillary.......its all here somewhere...

so it doesnt surprise me you would want your children terrified into thinking the world is going to end in the next 10 years or less...

greta looks haunted...she looks 35....she is having no childhood....all stolen from her by her parents.....

who are enjoying the plane trips around the world....and I can only guess free accommodation thrown in.....for probably writing her scripts... >:( >:(

i have no daughters you idiot. I want my kids to be exposed to life. You sheltered yours from life, and from the bitching you do on here about them,  I'm sure that worked out wonders for you.
She's passionate about her subject. When was the last time you spoke up in front of strangers, world leaders, about something you believe in? you might be happy with plodding through life, i'd prefer my kids find something they're passionate about, and pursue it. Be that in their private, social or professional lives.

Have you any idea how utterly ridiculous that suggestion is? If someone wanted to lose weight, would you suggest they stop eating altogether? If so you're a moron.

Switching from a carbon based economy to renewables, cutting emissions, does not involve giving up life as we know it and going back to cave man status.

Why Greta Thunberg triggers the troglodytes among us

Greta ticks all the boxes. She triggers the troglodytes among us in some wholly predictable ways.

She's a girl.

To say our culture hates girls is, of course, an overstatement. Afterall, we enjoy looking at girls and having them sing and shimmy for us.

We quite like it, say, when they swim fast enough to earn "us" a gold medal.

We especially like them consuming our products and chiming about them on social media. But we largely abhor girl culture.

Things that girls like, things that girls are interested in, are routinely devalued and considered as trivial.

If a book, a band, a film, a foodstuff has a disproportionate teen-girl following — think Twilight, think Taylor Swift, think Billie Eilish — it's rendered culturally unimportant at best and as vacuous crap at worst.

The moment girls scream and cry over something is the moment our culture has decided it's wholly unimportant.

She's not just a girl — she's a girl with Asperger's

She's not just a girl though.

We like certain 16-year-olds. Ideally, ones that look like they're on the cusp of blossoming womanhood.

The spotlight for girls in our culture shines on the ones that are a tad salacious.
This won't go unpunished though. Let's not pretend being sexual doesn't come at a cost; let's not pretend that double standards don't abound — but it's the mandate.

If we're going to pay her any attention, the least she can do is offer us something enticing to look at. To smile for us. To not be too strident. To play nice.

Greta Thunberg isn't a 16-year-old doing sexiness for us. She's not performing femininity, she's not exchanging eroticism for a platform to talk about the environment.

She's a soft-spoken girl with bare skin and pigtails. And because this packaging is so unfamiliar on the world stage — because we have no real track record of paying attention to girls who look like this — it's acceptable to ignore her.

She's not performing adult womanliness in the way we expect, so we downplay her as just a child. And we don't consider children as sources of authority, of expertise.

They're naive, and their words — their wants, their hopes — get discounted.

But she's not just a girl. She's a girl with Asperger's. And Asperger's considered a disability.
And the disability frame means she's not neurodiverse. Her differences aren't what make her different — make her amazing, rather.

She's rejected as fanatical. As a single-minded obsessive. As someone who keeps banging on about the same thing over and over again after everyone else has left the room.

This enables Greta to be brushed-off as not comprehending nuance, of not "getting" social cues. As failing to understand how the world really works.

As being not only naive, but as a bit "broken". Certainly too broken — according to haters on the internet — to be listened to about policy matters.

Greta is the ghost of a very dismal Christmas future

But she's not just a girl with Asperger's. She's a Swedish girl with Asperger's.

In lots of ways, we quite like the Swedes. We like their noir novels and their flat-pack furniture. Their ABBA, their Lykke Li. Their cosy cocoa-and-cake culture.

And we often find appeal in much of their public policy. Appeal right up until the point where we have to ponder paying for it.

Then, abruptly, Sweden is slammed as a socialist dystopia.

When a girl from Sweden tells the world all the ways that they are failing the planet, all the toil we're neglecting to do for the earth, she's dismissed as a meddler.
She's a person — and not just a person, but a mere girl — who's looking down at us, who's judging us.

If we can work out ways to disregard her — to use her age and accent and Asperger's against her — then her scowling and judgment doesn't matter.

In considering the source as less than, we can rationalise not paying proper attention. Afterall, the judgment of our inferiors matters little.

But she's not just a girl, with Asperger's, who's Swedish. For the kicker, she's a girl, with Asperger's, who's Swedish and who's asking us to do more than just separate our rubbish.

And this is what it's really about. The pigtails and soft voice takes a backseat to the true problem with Greta Thunberg: she reminds us of the litany of our collective failings.

Not just about how we don't care enough, but that we're not doing enough. That we're not outspoken enough. That we're not sacrificing.

That even if we acknowledge that there's a climate calamity, we're not forgoing anything for it.
Just as we hate vegans because they remind us that there's a dark cost — paid by animals every bit as sentient as our fawned-over puppies — to that burger, Greta is the ghost of a very dismal Christmas future.

It's equal parts predictable and reprehensible that a girl gets targeted because she's saying and doing what we're too — variously — lazy, complacent and greedy to do ourselves.

But the reasons she bristles, the reasons that a soft-spoken 16-year-old Swede has the capacity to stir such defensiveness and prompt such venom, is testimony to the fact that she's doing an awful lot right.

no she's not. She blasting them for their stubborn reliance on fossil fuels, despite what the science says.

One more time for the idiots, giving up our reliance on fossil fuels does not mean we have to give up on all our goodies.

sounds pretty spot on to me.

Greta is a girl who can SEE CO2.

Why should I take notice of a that. That's is irrespective of gender.

If she can't get the basics right she should not be pontificating.

we are giving up fossil fuel... slower than people PANICKERS want though....seriously she has said the world will die in 10 years this may not scare the bejeebers out of your kids but it does a lot of children..

you want your cake and eat it as well... thats plain to see.....but everything creates carbon.... everything...

do you think we would be in space without fossil fuel?,   can you see wind power taking over???....will it build the mighty dams and bridges we all love and use....

one day we will have used all the fossil fuel by then they will hope to have an alternative... right now I am not convinced...and wouldnt like to fly in a plane to the other side of the world   using wind power.... just yet..maybe in years to come... but right now    we are slowly and surely working towards a cleaner fuel....

we are not standing still like this child claims...

So to create enough electricity as now, that is without widespread EV's, we would need a lot of solar panels.

Australia's electricity consumption is 249,600Gwatts.

The Ivanpah Concentrated Solar Plant has an output of 392Mwatts, at 28.72% efficiency.

It takes up 1420Ha.

At 100% efficiency it would take about 64,000 CSP's. At 28.72% efficiency it would take about 222,000 CSP's.

The land area required would be about 315 million Ha or or about 3.15 million square Kilometres. Australia's area is about 7.69 million square kilometres. So we would to give over 40% of land to the solar farms. And that is without any transmission losses.

1. Greta has not said the world will end in 10 years. She's said we have 10 years to act before we irreparably alter the course of the world for a very long time. It doesn't mean it's just going to blow up you know. She's not the one who found this anyway. This is what the science is telling us. Overwhelmingly.

In fact, David Attenborough says the exact same thing. Is he allowed?

2. What Greta says is the consensus of scientists not her own personal faantansy. She is actually a very intelligent and very well sourced individual speaking on behalf of a much wider community, all saying the same thing.

3. We are not reducing our reliance on fossil fuels anywhere near fast enough, nor are we halting mass deforestation. We have known we need to do this for 30 years. We have dragged our feet and now more and more scientists are telling us we are running out of time. We have entered a mass extinction age. All scientific findings.

Stop shooting the messenger.

In fact, the only time her being a young person should be taken into account is in our consideration of our reaction to her. I'm gobsmacked at the things grown adults have allowed themselves to say about her. And that means you.

“We are in the beginning of a mass extinction"

No we are not. The only "scientific" paper that said so used strange statistical analyses about species as yet undiscovered.

we're not standing still DESPITE the government cods. Her point was not that the people need to do more, it was that GOVERNMENTS should do more. And it is a very valid point.

Since this govt first won office investment in renewables has halved what it was under the previous govt. If you think going backwards is 'doing something', then you're beyond help

It shows she is a bit deranged though.

I wonder if she sailed home on the fully equipped fully manned catamaran  she arrived on or if she caught a jet.

Greta looks like that girl from the exorcist

I love how she's triggered the entire right-wing lunatics because they really can't counter what she's said without having to attack her.

She wins.

All you have left now is to stop being dickheads and do the right thing.

Very true,

Just as well most are not criticising her for anything of the kind, rather the adults using her.

Most criticisms of herself seem to be reasonable ones regarding the same things affecting most 16 year old kids. They think they know, but in reality, like all teenagers, have no real concepts yet of the worlds functioning systems.

Hmm, well I guess it depends on the narrative you want to believe. I don't see that at all. I see another enraged, stressed, entitled, teenager other adults, including her parents and the teen herself, deemed capable of taking to the world stage to make demands.
I think the health narrative is equally being attempted to be used by both "sides", including using it as a defence mechanism.
I've just recently spent a weekend with some of the apparent brightest 10 and 11 year old minds in the country, those that will go on to make genuine leadership contributions to the societal directions of the future. I can assure you, the approach to any and all attempts to demand and state positions regarding pretty much anything, by teachers and professors (they place these young minds in a university environment) is to question it. Research it and consider opposing positions/evidence, then having done that, go forth and state your position only after step 1. The basic " First seek to understand, then seek to be understood" catch-cry.
A child's mind can only fully develop and make well judged decisions and take well evaluated positions in adulthood if they have been challenged at the correct levels to research and fully understand, as well as they can, all angles and ramifications of various subject matter along the development pathway.
Being a child, does not remove the worlds ability to hold them accountable for their positions. If they steal they are accountable, if they lie they are accountable, if they knowingly injure or hurt another they are accountable, if they tell a parent to go get "..." they are accountable.
If they jump on stage making demands of the world; they are accountable.
It is not black and white however. The level to which they are held accountable is the defining line. Accountable they are, but are they accountable to the same levels as a fully formed adult? The answer should obviously be no.
I don't believe questioning this child's true knowledge of what's going on is unreasonable. It may even be the best possible thing for her, to realise there are things in play she has not even considered, nor has even a basic genuine concept of most likely.

Or it depends on what level of confirmation bias you choose to display.

All possible, no doubt!
At the end of day, a 16 year old child knows roughly as much about the real world as you did when you were 16 and any other 16 year old. If they could be treated as being as knowledgable and informed as adults, then we wouldn't have numerous laws in place throughout developed societies acknowledging that is patently not the case.
It's pretty basic really. A typical teen who thinks they know everything, but in reality hasn't a clue regarding much, if not most of the world as yet.

Yet another pathetic attack on a young lady.

Bad news is that she is smarter than you guys.

Displaying your lack of "emotional mastery" does not make you smart.
Hitting the books in the library like the disciplined Asian kid, getting into medicine in a quiet and unassuming way, becoming a doctor , saving lots of lives and building up your property portfolio whilst leaving a legacy makes you smart.

I suppose its more gratifying to wave a placard and scald, but its not smarter

The relationship is not really a puppet /. Puppeteer
It's more a sponge ( the child) soaking up the emotional state of the adult.

Children are little sponges.
They read emotional cues off mummy and daddy.
They see a mouse, curiosity,
Then they see mummy scream and jump on a chair.
The parent has " taught a little lesson"
In a small way the child is made weaker.

How do we want our kids to turn out?

Strong powerful confident assertive influential .

How must we act?

In that exact manner.

Start wringing your hands and being anxious and that what you create.

Act like " human beings are awesome problem solving machines and we will whip climate change "
And you create a much more emotionally stable confident child

Is Greta a poster child for?

You're angry because she's only 16 and already she's on the world stage making a name for herself and doing something positive to help every single person on the planet.

Whereas you're in your mid forties and still unpacking plumbing supplies in a North Ryde warehouse, without a single thought for anyone else.

The central claim in the topic you are posting in support of ?

how many 16 yr olds have you met who look and sound like she does?.

There have always been 16 year olds who are intelligent and care about things.

How does that support abuse in any way ?

from what I have learnt here she has been diagnosed with "asperger."


perhaps you should read this link

https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/aspergers-syndrome

For example, they often:

struggle to express themselves
find it hard to understand others
find it hard to make friends
find it hard to work out what others might be thinking
find it hard to use their imagination
These difficulties can lead to anxiety, confusion and frustration for the person, and sometimes for their family and friends.

People with this type of autism often:

stick rigidly to a routine or repeat certain behaviours
focus intense interest on one particular topic
are sensitive to bright light or loud sounds
You can't tell whether someone has the diagnosis simply from how they look.



to me she doesnt look happy or convincing....she isnt passionate regarding the topic  she just wants to spit venom at the powers that be in high places.....passionate people do more and talk less....she is being manipulated imo....which is child abuse.... if she was selling her body her parents would be in jail...she is under age..

As 'Aspergers' was not really discovered as a diagnosis until the 1940s, one has to wonder how many of the people on your list, well before that period, came to be diagnosed with the disorder?  ::)

She has yet to make any definitive statement of intent or to offer any solution to the rather vague assertions she's made - just bit everyone in sight - so it is impossible to say if one agrees with her or not....  8-)

Mate, we've heard it all.  She was photographed with the Deep State Boogyman George Soros, she's been photographed working with ISIS leadership, won the "People with Money" away for being the highest-paid activist or that she's secretly a crisis actor played but an Australian actress Estella Renee.

All of this, including the narrative that she's a paid activist, is just the right losing their mind and trying to discredit her personally because she has the truth on her side.

So Lee, do you have any proof she's a paid activist?  And I don't mean having her travel costs etc covered, we're talking given a script and paid to say the things she does.  Got any proof, anyone? ;)

On a side note, I saw the Joker last night, great movie, but I see the same people jumping to the defence of the joker because of his mental illness attacking Greta for hers.

Do you think I said that she is ?

The report of her income we have been discussing here is the People Cover. It is known to have been a fake.

i.e. People didn't publish it.

Hence: reporting lies ?  This is a fact.

I have no idea and care less. She COULD merely have rich enablers. Enabling her to have access to expensive yachts, enabling her to stay at motels for free, enabling her to fly back to Sweden for free. The yacht has already left with new crew having been flown in and out.

The carbon foortprint for her pronouncements has bee already set.

So Lee, do you have any proof she's a paid activist?

See my reply to DNA. Me having proof, which I don't, is neither here no there.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. ;)

So hypocrisy and semantics are all you have then, again?

You're listing hypotheticals about her that you want others to disprove but only when you can't show proof does "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" apply?

Where exactly did I ask proof of anything petal? ;)

The list of "hypotheticals" was about enablers - those willing to stump up the money. If you want to disprove enablers then there would have to be a payment mechanism.

I will leave it up to you.

You asked if there was proof she was an unpaid activist,

So I did not say she was a paid activist proven or otherwise. ;)

I did not ask for proof of anything. I merely asked a question.

What is semantical about asking questions petal?

Whilst most adults complain that the youth of today are only interested in video games, cell phones and reality TV, Greta Thunberg has inspired millions of young people to make a stand for the future of our planet and she is told by these same adults she should only be interested in video games, cell phones and reality TV....These pathetic adults see children as something they can control and ignore when they dare to question authority and are floundering when they are challenged by attacking the messenger not the message....Good on you Gretta for fighting for what you believe in....You have inspired a generation and given hope to those who are not afraid to stand for what they believe in....Bravo young lady and the 4 million plus young adults with the guts to do something positive!!!

:) :) :)

It's like how they attack low paid workers for not working hard enough or getting a better job, but then when someone like AOC does, they then attack her as being unworthy of the job she got, she's crazy or stupid etc...

You just can't win.  They want things their way and will say and do anything, champion a position then attack it when it suits them just to look after themselves while claiming concern for the greater masses.

And she does so without a great deal of knowledge on climate change. But it makes good theatre.

Global warming is real and happening....The world needs to cut it's CO2 emissions as Gretta has said....It is great to see our youth caring about the future of our planet and voicing their concerns....Well done Gretta and the millions of young people who accept the science of global warming and are urging the world leaders to do more!!!

Don't worry about Lee, he pretends to object to the idea of climate changes based on the most noble of academic and intellectual grounds but he's just a smarter than the average troll with well crafted talking points and an oversize dose of condescension and thinly veiled personal attacks.

The foundation of his opinion is a belief system that he can interpret the information we have better than the experts and anyone who challenges his point of view must prove without a shadow of a doubt their claims and him rejecting whatever they post somehow proves his views without them facing any scrutiny whatsoever.

He will also carefully craft what he says to insinuate one thing but leave him enough wiggle room when pressed about it to walk back his claims, opening the door to claiming those who have called him out as being dishonest in an attempt to further discredit them, even if what they are saying is true.

You're playing right into his game by even acknowledging disingenuous posts, as am I with this.

I suggest you hold him in the same regard as Light, Mech, Rich and Serial and don't let his psudo intellectualism fool you.
