She’s being used. When the world does not end in 12 years she’ll be devastated.

She'll be 28 by then, probably still in college complaining that birth control is not free.

When I see her and hear her speak I am reminded of Skip Homier in Tomorrow, The World.

Indeed. Anytime you hear ''Scientists agree'' be suspect. Science agrees on very little of anything.

Greta, and the adults guiding her, are seeking to shift almost all the focus from personal responsibility to governments and big corporations to enact environmental reform.


This is because they only have to convince one CEO to do there bidding for them. Not millions of individuals. Progressivism infecting the corporate world is one of the important stories of our time.

I don’t know. If I had a sack full of Greta’s, I could retire on the money she is getting.

When the world does not end in twelve years, it will be said that the activists like little Greta, AOC, etc.saved the planet. Al Gore will be considered the grandfather of Global WarNing.

this girl would be so easy to red pill the world with...All you would need to do is start giving her even more outlandish talking points on climate then her activist handlers are. she is so caught up in the fantasy she has been fed that it would be easy to get her to endorse actions like cannibalism to save the environment. or get her to spout off on some delusion of her own making...aspengers tends to hyper focus the person into not excepting ideas counter yo there own so the way you destroy the person is to reinforce there ideas by one upping the direction they are thinking in...so sad the whole situation. eventually she will radicalize to the point she is not usfull to them but is a real liability.

Yep, from the corrupt media, but I will only continue to mock these fools.

There is one tried and true way to settle science.

Kill all of those who disagree with you.

Hitler and Stalin used that approach to deal with dissenters.

The girl has ASPERGERS Syndrome.

She is being exploited by irresponsible adults.

What next? Dwarf Tossing Climate Hoaxers?

Greta is full of pure hate. She would gladly kill little babies to “save the earth”. I’m serious.

She'll have a Good Death, before then. Something along the lines of how she didn't want to watch the End of the World...

The Enviros need a martyr, and who better than a rather dim, clinically depressed child?
