Imagine a young teenage girl rustling jimmies like this because she wants people to be environmentally conscious. Like, still being triggered by her. About a year later.

She pisses people off with her shocking attitude, not because she is young, a girl or a teenager. Trump is an ass that people never get tired of beating. Greta is in a similar role for some people.l

kyuss please dont call people liars. it looks like you are throwing a tantrum.

nb you didnt answer the two simple questions i asked, which by the way were certainly fairer and asked in a more measured way than the posts you were flinging out that promoted me to invite you to hold as clear a mirror to your own posting in this thread.

also can you please not use that swear workaround. its unbearably childish to go to that trouble and i personally find it offensive.

could you answer the two questions please, while you seem so fond of policing everyone else in the thread?

thanks kyuss, i do enjoy the debate as long as we all behave and manage ourselves.

I don't believe you debate at all - your current post is visibly insincere to anyone reading it - and your previous one contains a repeated lie about what I've said, that you were called out on before, and refuse to back up - at best it looks more like a smear.

Whatever happened to extinction rebellion ? Corona has been good for the climate but will there be any money left in the climate change budget when countries start to get up and running again .

Apparently we have the warmest oceans on record at the moment and this will kick off many dangerous weather events, could be an interesting year ahead

I'm astounded at some of the stuff in this thread! How people can attack or put down a child who wants a better future for herself and her cohort beggars belief. Such behaviours indicate a level of ignorance that almost defies explanation. Unfortunately that level of ignorance is all too common which is what has gotten us to the point where a child feels the need to cry out against it.
You know who you are, you should be ****1ng ashamed of yourselves but I doubt you know shame any more than you are capable of understanding the issues she raises.
Idiots!

You can't hide behind the fact that she is a child in order to shut down debate. Trying to shame people into silence isn't the moral high ground here.

Oh come back down for a second.....

Very few,if anybody here or elsewhere is "attacking" or "putting down" Greta Thunberg in the sense that you,perhaps,wish them to do.

Personally,I feel very much that the manner in which Greta Thunberg has been handled,packaged and turned into a travelling circus by a close knit,politicized clique is bordering on mistretment if not worse.

Remembering always that Greta Thunberg was not the originator of the "Schoolstrike for Climate" action,it did however prove to be the Marketing Tool which her handlers rapidly spotted and latched onto.

Those who Greta Thumberg feels have "stolen her childhood" are not to be found on these fora,nor out in the greater World at Large where many hundreds of thousands of Childhoods are stolen due to the lack of basic modern standards of hygene and education,yet not a care for these realities is expressed by the off-stage fugures constantly to be found by Greta Thunberg's side as she travels the World peddling the truth as SHE sees it.

This perception issue cuts to the core of the issue,as Greta Thunbergs Aspbergers influenced thought mechanism's do NOT function as others do.

Greta's father provided ,what perhaps could be a more telling angle to the entire production in this BBC interview.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-50901789

Mr Thunberg said his daughter had struggled with depression for "three or four years" before she began her school strike.

"She stopped talking... she stopped going to school," he said.

He added that it was the "ultimate nightmare for a parent" when Greta began refusing to eat.

To help her get better, Mr Thunberg spent more time with Greta and her younger sister, Beata, at their home in Sweden. Greta's mother, opera singer and former Eurovision Song Contest participant Malena Ernman, cancelled contracts so the whole family could be together.

So,are we to rule out the role/s Depression can play,in shaping a 12 year old child's perceptions of life and the broader World ?

Factor in the diagnosis of Aspbergers at around the same age,and surely even casual observers,must be allowed to make conclusions other than what,the now Multi-National Thunberg cause,wish us to embrace ?

As for Greta herself being the driving force behind the crusade,this may not be as clear as now being portrayed...

Over the next few years they began discussing and researching climate change, with Greta becoming increasingly passionate about tackling the issue.

As "very active" human rights advocates, Greta accused her parents of being "huge hypocrites", Mr Thunberg said.

"Greta said: 'Whose human rights are you standing up for?', since we were not taking this climate issue seriously," he explained.

He said Greta got "energy" from her parents' changes in behaviour to become more environmentally friendly - such as her mother choosing not to travel by aeroplane and her father becoming vegan.

For me,this indicates a certain shaping or even grooming of a somewhat "differently" structured young mind,and that does not sit comfortably with me personally.

To broadly accuse those who do NOT agree with the Thunberg crusade as "Idiots" may well offer you some sense of superiority,but believe me,watching how the now Adult,Greta Thunberg has had her "stolen Childhood" further adjusted and perhaps permanently altered makes me very very Sad...nothing more just Sad.
