Sixteen year old Gretaand of Sweden has recently been named "Person of the Year" by Time Magazine. Here are some likely reasons why Greta was chosen as a key spokesperson for the Global Warming Movement:

Greta and her Asperger Syndrome Diagnosis
Learning about Greta on Wikipedia, I see where she was diagnosed with a disorder called Asperger syndrome:
Her Asperger diagnosis was made public nationwide in Sweden by her mother in May 2015, in order to help other families in a similar situation. While acknowledging that her diagnosis "has limited me before", Greta does not view her Asperger's as an illness and has instead called it her "superpower".
For about two years, Thunberg challenged her parents to lower the family's carbon footprint and overall impact on the environment by becoming vegan, upcycling, and giving up flying. She has said she tried showing them graphs and data, but when that didn't work, she warned her family that they were stealing her future.
The Source of Greta's "Superpower"So what sort of "superpower" does Greta have?:
Greta's "superpower" is nothing more than her internal vision of her mission. Her school teachers pushed the global warming scare into her brain, and it sunk in. And now that she's been made famous, she feels validated.
Greta's instincts are much like the snowy owl, that beautiful but odd bird species that chooses to inhabit the tundra and glaciers of northern Sweden -- and other frigid climates across the globe.
Would you or I choose to live in a forbidding climate like that? No, nevertheless, the snowy owl has the innate intelligence and insincts to live an average of 10 years in that cruel climate. It's an incredible gift.
Likewise, Greta — in her own mind — is gifted, but she's not someone you can reason with because she's on a personal mission driven by her inner feeeelings.
So all power to Greta in her Don Quixote quest to create more windmill farms. Just don't tell me that an anti-social kid with a disorder should drive the public policy of the human race.
Imagination Outstrips the Powers of Observation and Reason
To close, I'm reposting an excellent climate-related comment from alloysteel made in yesterday's FR post: Anger erupts at U.N. climate summit...:
It is easy to raise cries of doom and despair, especially when not all the relevant facts are known, or are intentionally left out of the projections. Humanity is a most extraordinary species, in that the imagination often outstrips the powers of observation and reason. And with this free-form imagination, unfettered by any logical thought patterns, whole mythologies can be built up, eventually taking on almost religious significance. Some pretty arrant nonsense gets built up, leading to a lot of errant thinking and wishful conclusions which seem somehow never to come to fruition, and are completely impractical in the real world. The Universe is a cruel and unforgiving place. Stupidity is the one crime that never goes unpunished.

Heads up Islam, China, India. The PUPPET could be the pretense to bomb you into submission. BOLO for Greta Thorn-in-our-side preaching (she was Times IDIOT OF THE YEAR) the NEW RELIGION. She might come with an entourage from the UNaccountable bureaucrats base camp headed to Mecca and Medina. Of course to you, she might only be a gnat-on-the-azz of the goat you are humping.
Oh and speaking of Great Satan...lets get new (go backward) Milestones (Qutb-great writer...honest & straightforward) to go forward and be specific. This general divide & conquer from creeps is BS.
