Is this a direct quote from Greta herself
Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

The methane scare is part of a political campaign that uses junk science as a means to further alarmism to attack meat production. The IPCC reports on methane are inconclusive.
The easy solution to the looming monster methane apocalypseSummary: The looming disaster from the powerful greenhouse gas methane has become a standard part of alarmists’ shtick. It shows how they’ve abandoned the IPCC — the “gold standard” of climate science — and why we need the IPCC to help defend us against manipulation by the Left and Right. The consensus of scientists is not always right; it’s just the best we have.

New Research: Methane Emissions From Livestock Have No Detectable Effect On The ClimateAgrobiologist and scientific researcher Dr. Albrecht Glatzle, author of over 100 scientific papers and two textbooks, has published research that shows “there is no scientific evidence, whatsoever, that domestic livestock could represent a risk for the Earth’s climate” and that the “warming potential of anthropogenic GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions has been exaggerated”.

Green Party says we need to reduce the number of cows, farmers call that an 'attack'
However, the vegans have a problem in the form of rice production.
Methane Emissions from Rice Cultivation:Flooded Rice FieldsOf the wide variety of sources of atmospheric CH4, rice paddy fields are considered oneof the most important. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 1996)estimated the global emission rate from paddy fields at 60 Tg/yr, with a range of 20 to100 Tg/yr. This is about 5-20 per cent of the total emission from all anthropogenicsources. This figure is mainly based on field measurements of CH4 fluxes from paddyfields in the United States, Spain, Italy, China, India, Australia, Japan and Thailand.

In the end though . .
Net Zero means we are paying for the destruction of our economy and society in pursuit of an unachievable and pointless policy.

Fossil-fuel arch-enemy Greta Thunberg is awarded a million-euro ‘Humanity Prize’ by oil tycoon’s foundation
EGEB: David Kaiser, Rockefeller oil heir who fought Big Oil, dies at 50
Probably the most relevant comment from the rt news article...."Thunberg now is a bona fide celebrity having big media appearances and talks with government leaders."
Increasingly,of late,as the Thundberg Inc brand evolves,Greta has been placed alongside a well vetted selection of such "Not for Profit" socially vetted agencies,of which the Gulbenkian foundation is the latest.
Perhaps unsurprisingly,the current media references to the Gulbenkian foundation tend to major on the founder of the dynasty,Calouste who,by all accounts was a somewhat dour and miserly individual.
Few articles regarding Greta's good fortune,make reference to the Gulbenkian of my own youth,the far more impressively wealthy Nubar Gulbankian.
Not wanting to do a TLDR on it,I can only recomment a good read of his New York Times epitaph from 1972.
https://www.nytimes.com/1972/01/12/archives/nubar-gulbenkian-oil-millionaire-dies-nubar-gulbenkian-oil.html
A small selection of traits which might possibly appal the Thunberg folks...“I believe in comfort. I enjoy myself. I enjoy life. I enjoy everything I do.”
Mr. Gulbenkian, a tireless ladies' man, gourmet extraordinaire and most picturesque of bon vivants, practiced an un abashedly epicurean philosophy.
One has to applaud the billionaire who recognises the actualité of being wealthy,as opposed to being seen to be concerned by the situations of those who are'nt...He was a man of extravagant gestures and habits. He rode around in a custom‐made car, equipped with a Rolls‐Royce en gine and a body, trimmed in gold plate, designed to look like a London taxicab. “I like to travel in a gold‐plated taxi that can turn on a sixpence— whatever that is,” he said.
His taste for the good things in life was catholic. Once, when asked whether he preferred old brandy or young women, horses or Rolls‐Royces, city life over country life, Mr. Gulbenkian thoughtfully stroked his luxuri ant beard and replied simply:
“I prefer everything.”
Even in his marriages,a certain un Thunberg like attitude surfaces.....Mr. Gulbenkian approached the subject of women with gusto, and he spent a breezily gay life chasing chorus girls. Finally, however, he settled down to marriage—three times. He could be quite philosophical about what he called his “marital follies.”
“I've had good wives, as wives go,” he remarked, “and as wives go, two of them went.”
In short....a Billionaires billionaire ......What would he make of the Thunberg crowd getting a milliion dollars of His money...I like to think he would deliver it in his Rolls-Royce Taxi in sixpenny-bits (whatever they are)
Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

Greta Thunberg must be in a terrible place mentally now.
She was visibly fearful talking about the planet, breaking down so how is she coping with a worldwide pandemic where 800,000 people have died and life is locked down.
I also worry for her physical health. She looks incredibly weak and frail. Her face is a fright.
Look at a recent photo, she is scrawny and narrow like a 10 year old child. Greta turns 18 in 4 months. Imagine walking into a pub and seeing a group of Gretas, you'd feel like you were in primary school. And are there really that many fools who listen to an almost 18 year old who has to wear velcro shoes?
I also hate the criticism of those who question the cult of greta, saying she's only a kid etc.
When a kid starts telling adults what to do, we can fight back. You wanna play a big boy game, you gotta accept the big boy rules.0 -

You seem pretty fearful of the kid. Of course after you criticised her look and dress sense. Very mature.0 -
