     That’s okay. Along with being a climate expert, the high school dropout girl is also a virology expert. She was on a Covid-19 virus panel with other experts recently. 

    Ignore the fact there are photos of her and her mom and dad wearing Marxist ANTIFA t-shirts. 

is there no end to that stupid little mares talents?

She is obviously been used and her parents are allowing it.

allowing it?probably copping a nice little earner out of it.

You do know she is merely a student activist and not a climate change scientist. Millions of youth around the world are inspired by her activism and even by Sir David Attenborough spoke of her achievements in arousing the world.

Haha. It seems that I read a lot more than you, and you cannot meet my challenge. If you think that current predictions of doom are real why were all past predictions a failure? There is nothing to support current predictions except flawed modeling that has been proven wrong in the past.

You got nuttin!

Does Eco-Greta need some attention? Most people have forgotten her already. In most parts of the world green parties are losing grip, because they cover only one topic that is not high on the agenda at the moment.

Indeed. Did you also understand that one reason we're in our current mess is that a couple of years ago we gave no attention to Pandemic Prevention and Response? Funny how these things come around to bite one in the buttocks. Seems even that the more you ignore these sorts of problems that Scientists have known and warned about for years the worse the impact becomes. 

Must seem just a bizarre set of coincidences to the non-science crowd. I think this is why conspiracy theories are so popular, they require 10 minutes of googling rather than years of careful education and experience so you can "catch up" to those naughty scientists in just an afternoon! Plus, all the complexity goes out the window when you realize that the whole thing was just a scam all along. And you always knew those brainiacs who for years looked down on you at school as you were beating them up and making fun of them were just working day and night to get into a position where they could get you back for all your bullying. And here we are!

Bring on the Coronavirus Cull.

I do not live in denial , but i do know something about what it takes to make products . She doesn't , she sees only what she sees , travel and cars , oh yes and electric . She forgets there is a lot more in this world . She uses soap , it isnt from the soap tree , she uses something for her skin , which isn't made from the root of a tree either . All the things she knows don't grow in the forest , without chemicals we are back 1000years.  She is retarded.... Does it mean she is wrong , no we should care about enviroment , as much as possible , but we are with too much people and thats all .

How is that for an acute diversion from needing an economic overhaul to meet green targets to knowing who finance her activism expenditures. Next will be the usual endless conspiracy theories on Gates and Soros.

Yes, the world is collapsing all around us but because of, IMO, overpopulation, not, IMO, a fake climate change movement being used to "change the world economic system", as she herself said in the OP.

If any good has come of this virus, it's that the newspapers have a temporary respite from the need of "filler" content, which had previously been occupied by Greta and other purveyors of disaster porn.  Never thought we would ever see real news in the papers again.  Strange times indeed.

It's been great being able to come on here without the climate change thing. Seems that respite is over. I don't read newspapers anymore precisely because they are pushing an agenda I don't agree with.

According to space instruments pollution was down during lock downs etc. so I'm surprised she didn't suggest that as a solution, permanently everywhere. Never mind Greta the Earth's magnetic poles are moving, overdue for a complete flip, and if that happens soon the worse scenario suggests that we won't have worry Covid 19, Global Warming etc. etc..

I hope I'm around when it happens. Be an interesting time for all the obvious reasons, but which I'm not going to say in public. Even Corona couldn't kill PC.

Would point out Corona and it's knock on effects aren't over yet, the economic fallout has barely begun.

Can easily see it destroying welfare and 'fake' female employment ..... then western women will be back to banging men in return for food and shelter PDQ.

Our civilisation is fairly fragile, without welfare, there can be no female empowerment.

The only people Greta will arouse is social media airheads. Of course people who have an environmentalist agenda like David Attenborough will sing her praises.

 

But in terms of achievements she has actually achieved nothing. In any normal society she would have been picked up by police for truancy. In real terms she has achieved precisely nothing.

 

What is remarkable is that in an age when women have lost their moral authority by being forced to become men and have largely lost the female authority that in the past allowed them to pass prohibition on sheer moral authority alone, Thunberg has tapped into a faint echo of this. But of course environmentalism long-predated Thunberg, was invented by the Nazis in fact.

Quite the contrary, she done a remarkable job as an activist. Spearheaded the massive demonstration of about 4 million people protesting against climate change and got decision makers to sit up and listen to their people who elected them. At such a tender age, she was given the honor to address the 2018 UN Climate Change Conference. Kind of enjoy the moment she gave Trump that look of disgust and she only 15. 
 

Her achievements will probably be her ability to inspire the youth and wealthy philanthropists and investors to donate to climate funds. She may have woke up EU to allow Green parties to record their best results in EU parliament 2019 election. 
 

She not alone on her position on climate change and other females have been active in their own individual capacities.

Let me fix that: 'It was arranged by her handlers for her to address the 2018 UN Climate Change Conference'. You really think she wrote a letter to the UN on her own bat and they replied, why yes child, come and address us.

"In an interview with Reuters television, the 17-year-old said governments would only be able to mount a meaningful response once they accepted they needed to transform the whole economic system.

 

“We need to see it as, above all, an existential crisis. And as long as it’s not being treated as a crisis, we can have as many of these climate change negotiations and talks, conferences as possible. It won’t change a thing,” Thunberg said, speaking via video from her home in Stockholm."

 

Totally agree with you Pilotman. But does anyone really believe a 17 year old mildly autistic girl could come up with comments like that all on her own? She's been manipulated, spoon fed, and used by her parents and cronies pushing their own political agenda. Not once dare she try and challenge India, China and Russia - all massive polluters and none of them would give her the time of day.

Yes, reeducation camps or Mao era style denunciations. Seems all of societies ills are caused by "White Males". Didn't we have a situation a few decades ago where all of societies ills were blamed on one group? Still, it is the young who will inherit the planet, so best let them get on with it even if you feel like the old man in the black cap.

Wake up Eric - she's programmed by her parents and their cronies as part of their agenda.

 

Her family have made money and they and their associates have got their influence into more places.

 

How many times has she challenged India, China, Russia etc - those who pollute massively and have no intentions of changing anytime soon; or listening to some little girl being manipulated by political activists.

 

Change the economic system - into what exactly? Let's go back to year zero - oh no, that was tried before. How about communism - well the biggest two experiments in that murdered more people than the Nazis.

 

Yes, climate change needs addressing. But not by a 17 year old being told what to say.

Does it matter who is addressing climate change if you accept that climate change needs addressing. She is a voice amongst many and she getting the attention from fans and critics. The avalanche of ad hominem attacks on her are unnecessary and you seem to enjoy that too. What happen BB? If you don’t like her  message, just ignore and don’t join in those conspiracy theorists nutters. You are better than that.

And not the use of the "we". Who is the 'we' and when did they appoint her spokesperson?

 

Of course, she's referring to her parents, their cronies and the political handlers.

I think 'we' means all children worldwide, apparently she speaks for them now (all of them). Interesting how you picked up on the same things as me. The official explanation is that she is maturing and hence her style is changing..
