I'd be cautious as to who her support team are. They will end up finding a way to use her and profit from it. We all know it's going to happen. I would expect to be seeing pictures of her looking rough on tabloid news sites when she is older. Headings like "former child activist hits new low" or something similar. Her parents need to watch out for her.

We've really seen that with Greta Thunberg because anyone who raises criticisms either of her or the politics which she's representing … can find themselves being called anti-Greta, a child hater, someone who doesn't take young people seriously,"

The powers that shouldn't be have used that tactic for centuries, everyone from the King of France who backed a "children's crusade" to Jerusalem, to Adolf Hitler and Chairman Mao have used children as one of the cores of their propaganda. The idea is if they heavily brainwash the youth thhey can use them to hammer down the rest of society down the line. Children were denouncing, snitching on and literally killing their own parents during the so called cultural revolution in China.

quokula wrote: » Your prior suggestions mostly amounted to "the rich" should make sacrifices (I assume you define rich as richer than you, since on a global scale anyone posting on boards.ie is pretty rich) Or practical stuff like better public transport, which is absolutely needed, but you rail against the taxes that could pay for that. It sounds like you want to make no sacrifices, pay no less tax, but have the government and other people magic up solutions for it. The reality is that we all need to make sacrifices and as much as there will always be people who have a bigger carbon footprint than you or I (and Greta is definitely not one of them), there are billions with a lower carbon footprint so that's no excuse.
