Greta Thunberg (Continued...)

I feel very sorry for the girl although I am totally sick of listening to her too, or more to the point i am sick of listening to her disciples.

Now this is not her fault at all.

But here is kid who has been thrust into the limelight by her parents and "handlers" for want of a better word.

They have totally destroyed their childs life.

She will forever be followed by the media, tweeted about and watched and photographed every little thing she buys.

She can never now go on a sun holiday with her mates just for the craic.

God help her if she buys a house more than one bedroom. Or drives somewhere without car sharing etc.

There is so much now that that girl cannot do for the rest of her life without being put under the microscope. This will hurt her in the long run I think.

And all because she wasnt looked after by her parents in her teens.

Not to mention being terrified that the world is going to end.

My mind goes to this.

There is zero evidence to support this nonsense that Greta was pushed in to this by her parents or anyone else. In fact, less than zero. From her own mouth, she has said how she pushed her parents to be concerned about the climate.

A question for you, why do you lie about something so easy to prove as false?

What exactly are they going to do? Change would have to come from elected leaders not someone with a microphone shouting in the street. She represents a small faction of loon’s. Elections are where leaders are selected to represent people.

Quoting **** nigel farage, i swear you lot just get more and more retarded

Bet your buddy Andrew Neil would give you a big thumbs up for that comment, what do you reckon?

SMH.

She is ridiculing the blasé/hypocritical attitude that has been shown to the situation by politicians who have accepted there is a crisis, and then don't act to prevent it being as serious as it might be.

Her own tweet where she re-tweeted the video of her chanting that with the words 'When in Scotland' shows she understands the nuances in a particular vastly more than I suspect many of her detractors do.

Scrap the CAP is hardly nuanced! It's fair enough that yourself and others choose to defend her but she is not in the room. She has really not got any actual solutions apart from screaming and shouting about how little she trusts politicians to do things and now by the looks of things swearing at people.

Your own postings here also seem somewhat  narrow minded at times and you have produced a range of remarkable stereotypes for those who question her part in all of this activism.  Her own behaviour at present really puts her into the stereotype of a cranky or stroppy teenager.

Things are happening, in small ways and only in some parts of the world but they will speed up over the next number of years. What this gathering is specifically looking at is getting pretty much every country on the planet on the same page. An agreement of that nature is a very good start and doing that will be an achievement but some folks will call it blah blah blah and for them setting targets beyond 2030 is viewed as object failure.

Personally I reckon the agreement over deforestation is a very decent start, once they actually act on it.

She pushed her parents in to it? Ha. And the script writers, activist aid and handlers all just magically appeared one day.

Also practically nothing is from her own mouth. Everything is scripted. When off the script she does not know what to say. In that regard she is a very poor public speaker.

Both her parents have careers in show business, they are always on the move, especially Gretas mother and her father takes on the primary parent role, he also has his own acting career and business to run. Neither parent has sufficient time to devote to Greta or her sister in their early school years and have partially outsourced parenting to the Swedish school system.

Gretas condition meant she found it difficult to relate to other girls in school, she got bullied, around the age of puberty she stops eating and speaking to people. The total meltdown forced her parents to reconfigure their lives to care for her. Essentially both Greta and her sister find a way to ground their mother so both would no longer be ignored.

We don't rightly know how Gretas obsession with climate started. We are given a story about a climate propaganda video being shown in class and how it affects her, however, before that Gretas mother also has expressed the politically correct opinions on climate which is not unusual in show business where you have to maintain public profile and it's low cost. I reckon this became the common bond between mother and daughter and Gretas obsession become an acceptable compromise to restore stability within the family.    We can all be wise in hindsight, as parents we are not experts in child psychology, we learn as we go.   Both Gretas parents paid a price for the initial lack of diligence regarding their daughters well-being, they are not bad parents they did put their resources into managing and resolving the crisis that befell them as best they could.

Her mothers book was originally titled Scenes from the Heart and published in Swedish in 2018. It has been been published for the English market as Our house is on fire.

From the book here is the low point:

As regards how Greta shot to public attention. NGOs such as Greenpeace had been trying for a number of years to launch campaigns with different children, in particular targeting the German market (Fridays for future), here is an example of a failed Greenpeace campaign from 2007.

Here is another example of the use of children by activists called the Sunrise Movement in the United States in 2019 to force the Green New deal.

Here is Severn Cullis-Suzuki daughter of a multi-millionaire environmentalist from Canada addressing the UN in 1992. Greta more or less copies this years later.

I had the chronology of the lunch of the Greta campaign back in 2018, Gretas parents met with Ingmar Rentzhog in May that year.

Gretas mother launched her book in the week prior to Gretas protest in which Mr. Rentzhog just happened to be walking by and photographed her, this made its way from facebook onto the pages of one of the front pages of a national newspaper in Sweden and from there the wheels were in motion and it spread internationally.

Anyone familiar with media campaigns knows there is much groundwork that goes on in the background before the story is published. And what do you know before long, Greta and her father are on a millionaires yacht on the way to a UN climate conference and the children are skipping double maths and Irish to protest climate. In Ireland the marches are co-ordinated by Stop Climate Chaos and Union activists. StopClimateChaos are aligned with the multinational NGO Climate action network (CAN) formed in 1989 one year after the IPCC.

Example #412 of the conservative motto. 'Accuse others of that which you are guilty'. Carry on snoopsheep, carry on.

Credit for calling for others to take action. My god. Credit is handed out so easily it seems.
