She is talking about climate change, I don't need a child to tell me about climate change & I really don't see how world governments could possibly need a child to tell them something we all know. Lots of children have opinions on lots of topics, it's just strange how this one has been pushed into the world's spotlight.

Riiiiiight. That's not disingenuous at all.

I haven’t once said the child is responsible for her actions, because I don’t believe she is. It’s her parents and the adults who are using her as the poster child for their campaign who I hold responsible. I don’t support their campaign because they’re putting the responsibility on a child to promote their beliefs. I see nothing wrong with the child sharing their beliefs, children generally do share the beliefs of the people who are influential in their lives. The adults in this child’s life are taking advantage of the child to promote their beliefs, instead of simply saying to the child that she can cross the Atlantic and attend UN conferences when she is an adult herself, and in the meantime they will represent her views to other adults.

Years ago, before all the ALT-Right and Trump folk start getting brave we would have had a few saying 'fair play to her' and the odd crank giving out, but this is just creepy IMO.
