Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith like with a surgeon or a new mechanic but that’s not the same as trusting them. Having watched Greta in that clip I just feel lectured by her parents tbh but then I’m a skeptic so I’m not her audience anyway. I just can’t figure out which bits were genuine and which were forced. None of it was convincing. Either way, she’s clearly very emotional and if it was my own daughter I’d be getting concerned for her mental wellbeing at this stage.

Has Greta's action been the tipping point where people will no longer tolerate any travel which was not absolutely necessary. She'll definitely count that as a success.

What do you need to do to be considered an expert, in your view. B - Yes, there are many governmental institutions to be trusted by and large. You have to assess them on their merits on each topic but by and large the fact they function without repeated determination that they deliberately lied to the public, they can be considered truthful.

The school strike idea did capture the imagination of kids and that's a good thing in its own right in the sense that it may produce a generation more mindful of the need to change. But there are no guarantees of that either.
The Bishop Basher wrote: » Whatever her message is, scolding, lecturing and talking down to people in that manner will not get it across effectively, if at all. And I haven’t seen anyone question her right to an opinion. I have however seen them question the fact that she’s being allowed to state those opinions as facts unchallenged.
