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. As I've always said.....Rather than intellectually disputing the facts within the message because they simply can't, they'd prefer to fail miserably in attempting to childishly attack the messenger .............. Yet Again...... .. 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.
