I just came here, to see ignorant adults, attack a child!

I was not disappointed! 

????

Can't see much that could be called "attacking".

 

Even if she is verbally attacked, she has put herself in this position; is everyone expected to not challenge her, simply because she's 16? Or, do you think she can say what she likes, & 'get away with it'?.

 

As for your "ignorant" comment...best I don't express my reply.

 

In summary: Your post is really not a clever as you think it is.

Your indecent quotes have gone, difficult to cite - not to mention indecent to cite.

Too late to apologize.

So you make a claim with no evidence. Nice. 

     As I thought...you’ve got nothing. 

Because I never made any indecent statements. Not that kind of person. 

    I also don’t go accusing others of things they didn’t do.

The only factual elements of your post, " I think people find her irritating.  Nobody likes to be preached at least of all by a spoilt brat who seems oblivious to the aspirations of poor people throughout the world who can only envy her wealth. She seems tone deaf and blind to her own privilege and entitled lifestyle. She needs psychiatric help and like all such unfortunates she does not deserve hate but nor do the people who disagree with her. " is 'I think'. The rest bis just your opinion.

Sure mate. You and some others om here know better than the experts,

So what do those “experts” feeding at the taxpayer trough and protecting their positions say? That climate never changed until the early 1980’s? 

    Fact is, climate has been changing on this planet ever since the planet got an atmosphere and water. 

  Sometimes changes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Sometimes warmer, sometimes colder. Sometimes in a Glacial Period, Sometimes in an Interglacial Period. (Like now) 

    Sometimes in a much warmer time between Ice Ages. Sometime IN a Ice Age. ( Yes...like we are right now.)

     Yes, I know enough about History, Geology, Paleoclimatology, and Politics and Economics to know when people are being lied to for a politico-economic extremist agenda.

I guess you have been 16 once in your life, and possibly you were not fully conscious of your actions.

    And I read recently that her mother and father have been under investigation in Sweden for possible mental abuse of Greta. 

 

You do have some good points, but still sounding a bit intolerant to me.

Actually i am also worried for the future of the little girl, as soon as this media parade is over, and i have not much respect for her parents, but i always try to understand people's points of view before casting judgements.

   “...environmental issues.....”.  No problem. We need to clean up all our rivers and lakes. Recycling is a good idea. Scrubbers on smokestacks to remove particulate matter and sulfur dioxide ...sure. All good ideas. 

   Those are things we can continue to work on. 

    Not sure what else you think might be wrong with the environment. 

    Our climate is perfectly fine. A bit warmer since coming out of the Little Ice Age circa 1850. That’s nice. The L.I.A. was generally not a nice time for folks in Europe and China and North America. 

    We are also very lucky to be living in an Interglacial Period. People should be counting their blessings. Because we are due to enter another Glacial Period sometime in the next 2,000 - 3,000 years. And Glacial Periods last for around 85,000 - 128,000 years or so.

    Imagine Toronto, Berlin and Chicago and New York City under a mile or two of ice.  

How about taking care of the threats of dangerous extremist politico-economic ideas like fascism, socialism, Nazism, and Communism ?And dangerous religious ideologies like extremist Islam??

    Okay, I’m on board with that. We have to do more to defend ourselves against such threats. 

 

   I’m going to repeat this once, for your benefit. No need to thank me. 

   

She (Greta Thunberg), is NOT a “little girl” or child. 

   She will be 17 in a couple of weeks.

 And in my country, at age 16, she could (upon becoming 16) get her Driver’s Licence, Firearms Acquisition and Possession Certificate, and join the Army. 

    Hardly a child or “little girl”. 

Maybe her parents have her on puberty suppressing drugs.

       They have been under investigation in Sweden under suspicion of abuse...so perhaps we will find out.

Heartland Institute Reluctantly Stands by Denial of Cigarette Smoking Risks

Before the Heartland Institute became famous for its leading role in climate change denial, the group spent many years working to defend the tobacco industry. Just as the group is now known for its over the top attacks on climate scientists, Heartland once played a large role in criticizing public health experts and others calling attention to the dangers of cigarette smoking.

Really? So where is the proof that she is being abused? Where is the proof that she is not doing this of her own accord? Where is the proof that she is being damaged? And maybe you did read that Greta's mother and father are under investigation in Sweden for possible mental abuse of Greta? Got a link for that? Did you bother to check into the truth of that claim?

 

For someone who insists that evidence be provided by others, you seem remarkably lax in applying that standard to yourself. And by the way, no reputable psychologist would call Asperger's a "serious mental issue". Asperger's people are different, not damaged. In fact, when it comes to issues of fact, it might be useful to recall that at one time many Asperger's children were grouped under the "little professor" syndrome. Because they were so mentally precocious.

Angry Swedish Citizens Report Greta Thunberg’s Parent to Child Services for Child Abuse

 

    (But I say she is not a child. So I don’t agree with everything in this report)

 

While she appears to be missing in action as of late, angry climate child Greta Thunberg of United Nations ranting fame isn’t off the hook when it comes to her questionable climate shenanigans, and neither are her parents.

According to reports, Greta’s parents are the subject of a new inquiry into their fitness as parents, as it would seem that they’ve been abusing their daughter for political and financial gain.

A report was recently filed in the Kungsholmen district of Stockholm claiming that Greta’s parents are exploiting her in order to push the climate agenda, which is causing young Greta to suffer serious mental anguish and emotional distress.

 

In tandem with a public relations consultant, Greta’s mother specifically is said to have exploited her daughter to create mass hysteria and panic about the world ending in a few years due to climate change and global warming. And now Greta is spreading this same mental illness to other children via her mother’s damaging influence, which could mean that Greta’s mom is unfit to keep Greta in her custody.

     (They have forgotten about Greta’s German Marxist radical climate alarmist handler working for George Soros funded “One” Foundation ....Luisa-Marie Neubauer.)

        “When large parts of the adult world and established media participate in the mass psychosis around Greta Thunberg – who obviously doesn’t feel so good – it’s like having to pinch one’s arm,” stated Swedish Party Chairman for Social conservatives and lifestyle liberals about this bizarre situation.

“Is this true?” the same individual, who is also a lawyer, further asked in a tweet. “What are you doing? This is not healthy.”

That's a very impressive source. They keep on writing according to reports but rarely link to anything. And the sites they do link to provide no hard evidence. Of anything. Mainly these are reports about angry private citizens who filed complaints with the Swedish government. No evidence at all that the government takes these complaints seriously. You got some evidence that the Swedish government is actually conducting investigations?

You’re being less than honest. Asperger’s Syndrome, which is on the Autistic scale, is mental illness...it’s not just “different”. 

    In her case it also comes with depression and selective mutism...to the point she would stop eating. It can lead to paranoia.

   And everyone has been able to see she is showing signs of paranoia.? They’ve had serious problems with her. 

     Yeah...”...just different..” all right. “No mental illness to see here folks.”

      You’re trying to claim it is just another kind of “normal”. 

   No, it’s not another kind of normal. 

Would you call a full grown adult with the mental capacity of only a five year old normal? Just different? 

    No mental illness?

Asperger's not in DSM-5 mental health manual

Tuesday 4 December 2012

‘Asperger's syndrome dropped from psychiatrists' handbook’, is the headline in The Guardian. The news is based on a press release from the American Psychiatric Association (APA) announcing the approval by their Board of Trustees of a revised fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The DSM was first published in 1952 and is often referred to as the 'psychiatrists' bible' in the US.

https://www.nhs.uk/news/mental-health/aspergers-not-in-dsm-5-mental-health-manual/

As for the depression. There are plenty of people who function well thanks to treatment for their depression. Given the level of activity she maintains, if she is being treated for depression, she is doing remarkably well. Of course, just because she once suffered from depression doesn't mean she does any longer. Many people with Asperger's syndrome are depressed not without reason but because they are regarded with condescension by people who know no better. Such as yourself.

And this remark of yours is ridiculous in regards to someone with Aspergers's syndrome:

"Would you call a full grown adult with the mental capacity of only a five year old normal? Just different?"
