Greta Thunberg Is the Climate Heroine We Need (Barf Alert w/info)

ROME–When Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg was 11 years old, her body had started to shut down due to severe self-starvation tied to debilitating depression. She spoke to almost no one but her immediate family. She was afraid of crowds. She was lost in her own world, and the world very nearly lost her.

But thanks to the formal diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome coupled with high-functioning autism and obsessive compulsive disorder, the now-16-year-old Swede has become quite literally the poster child for the generation that will have to deal with the destruction of our planet. Once she started receiving multifaceted treatment, Thunberg was able to channel her anxiety into something we should all be concerned about: the health of the planet and the science behind apocalyptic warnings of its demise.

I did a search but didn't find this posted.

I had no idea that this kid really is mentally ill and unfit. Her parents may believe this attention is saving her life BUT, what will happen when "the music stops"?

Her wiki page.

Thunberg says she first heard about climate change in 2011, when she was 8 years old, and could not understand why so little was being done about it.[11] Three years later she became depressed and lethargic, stopped talking and eating, and was eventually diagnosed with Asperger syndrome,[12] obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD),[12] and selective mutism.[12][13] While acknowledging that her diagnosis “has limited me before”, she does not view her autism as an illness and has instead called it her “superpower”.[13]

What they are doing to their kid fits the definition of terrorism. Terrorizing someone in order to effect political change.

[Barbie] is also a CNN Contributor...

Never trust anyone named Barbie, especially if they're in bed with CNN.

Yup Greta... With nuclear annihilation hanging over our heads on a daily basis... Let's worry about whether the earths overall temperature will go up by 2 degrees, or one and half degrees in a hundred years or so... Oh, and what is the earth's 'perfect' temperature? And by the way you young and very naive and innocent child... Can you point to one actual death that has been caused by global warming?

Left wing lunatics using a child is about as pathetic as it gets.

What we obviously need then are more abused children with certain mental and physical issues.
