I have no way of understanding her home life. Somehow, at 16 , It has the feel of someone who has been heavily influenced by people with a point of view. Like she has been programmed rather than arriving at her position through research and analysis. That is a separate item from whether the point of view has merit.

she's being used by the left the same way they paraded certain school shooting victims around in front of the media, and not others. And they're defending her the same way. Attacking anyone who DARE insult this innocent little child. haha. It is interesting though, that her parents are both actors on tv, and that her "thoughts" parrot those of the left. You'd think she'd have some original thoughts but nope. 100% paid actress and I'm not interested in her shame game.
I strongly suggest anyone here to read the relevant peer reviewed papers on climate change and ecology. We are in huge trouble already let alone if we continue business as usual.
In the sixties, they were shouting about the amazon forest being decimated for wood, it would affect our oxygen levels all over the world. Then in the nineties, some greenie decided that the ozone level over Australia and New Zealand was cause for great concern. Everyone wore hats and sunscreen. I was there in Jan to middle of march this year, has anything changed NO no one wears hats, sunscreen only used on the beaches. GREENPEACE did all this. What a joke!!!
The generation that fucked up some waterways so bad they caught fire is in no posotion to be thinking they know anything about the environment. Quite frankly, my generation is getting sick of your generation gleefully pissing in the global swimming pool we all live in.
Watching her berate those politicians was so cringe inducing I wouldn't tolerate a misinformed child preaching to me like that. I would have walked out of the room.
I haven’t watched her speech yet, but from the clips and articles I’ve come across on her I more or less agree with her. It’s time to tackle this beast before it gets even more out of control.
she's far to young to understand the complications involved and is being used. by climate change extremists. time for greta to go home to momma. to young to be playing with the big guys in the UN. and as for destroying her life look at her back ground comes from very wealthy parents her life and future is well secured sadly for most of these protesters. there's will never be the equal of confused greta thunbergs.
Definitely a tool. She had to start playing the fear mongering "were going to face mass extinction soon" bit, which we have all heard 1000 times before. Not amused, hopefully she will fade out.

I think children, and she is one, can't fully grasp the current situation. The US for example is an empire bleeding out from debt, with several partially ruined major cities, and a nearly dead domestic production capacity. It's a situation of triage, and worrying about the future is pretty tough when the house is burning down around you.
It wouldn't damage your economy, it would be a massive boost to it, adding well-paid jobs for installation, for example, not to mention protecting struggling communities from natural disasters.
I don't think you fully understand how close to insolvency the US government is. Their power to do anything about anything is quickly fading. All efforts must be directed to the industrialization of space, so that resource production can be moved off world before environmental reclamation can be made a top international priority. The other option is the starvation deaths of billions, a century of war, and a new dark age.
The issue at hand goes way beyond whatever trivial efforts you need to make in your local area, though those are important matters for municipal and state governments.
Perhaps, but her solutions are both ineffective and often impossible and the way she goes about arguing is quite literally childish. That is not how to bring about change. That's how to be a publicity stunt that's forgotten next week.
Some of what she is saying is accurate, but I do not like a little girl who as Aspergers to be the front figure, nor do I like her emotional outburst in her UN address.
I find her a little irritating tbh and little on the dramatic side. The 'How dare you' video was cringey. Aside from all that she's fighting for a good cause. She should seriously take all this to third world countries though.
I dunno.. its not realistic for her to shoot to such audiences in no time... many people have been voicing on the subject... we'll have to wait n find out
She is an abused child who doesn't know what she is doing. She is missing school, she should be getting an education instead of listening to the poison her handlers are pouring down her ears.
@tara987 What an outrageous statement. Doctors and engineers, surgeons and scientists dont learn to do what they do by speaking to a conference room filled with old people.
She's not an engineer or a surgeon or a scientist (although all three go to conferences to hear new ideas and discuss topics with colleagues and experts - and sometimes make speeches to old people). I believe we can learn a lot more, sometimes, when presented with new situations and ideas. I am certain she learned a great deal from the experience.
I disagree with her. She really needs to lighten up. The only reason she ranted and raved the other night was because her flight home was with Thomas Cook, and she found out they'd collapsed and was worried she wouldn't get home.
@juicyjessie Even if it did happen, it wouldn't be in our lifetime so alarmism isn't going to change anyone's mind. It just shreds your credibility and allows people to disregard any valid data you do have on principle. You have to do better than shame tactics or doom and gloom.
Sure! We'll all be dead and buried. But what a shit legacy to leave future generations. "Let THEM clear up OUR shit!" Such a selfish attitude, but then, Trump shows the way that is by pulling out of the Paris Accord.
Same with plastic pollution. Sod future generations. They can sort it out! What an attitude!
@juicyjessie legacy? what kind of crap is that! Who cares? Sound like the type of people who need to give birth to leave a legacy. Maybe your the selfish one for wanting the impossible. And who to say that the world won’t just explode for no reason. It’s already happen. There is so much plastic n trash that the last generation that people don’t know what to do with it.

I agree completely. It's terrible how her parents are using her for fame and fortune.

Greta Thurnberg and climate change are not the same thing. The question was specifically about Greta.
Watching her berate those politicians was so cringe inducing

It might be worth taking a moment to stop the people pumping kerosene instead of water onto your house...
I just explained why a collapsing nation can't manage green reform due to economics. Fuck man, use your head.
It wouldn't damage your economy, it would be a massive boost to it, adding well-paid jobs for installation, for example, not to mention protecting struggling communities from natural disasters.

Even if she's a tool it don't change the fact that it's her future that gets fucked up, and not these white 80 year olds controlling things.
I doubt the whites are the worst polluters my friend...

She was the worst actress. Poor kid is brain washed as fuck.
Whether she be political tool or not, her message is about a serious issue---one that needs to be addressed urgently.
I dunno.. its not realistic for her to shoot to such audiences in no time... many people have been voicing on the subject... we'll have to wait n find out
She is an abused child who doesn't know what she is doing. She is missing school, she should be getting an education instead of listening to the poison her handlers are pouring down her ears.
I think she is getting more of an education speaking before the U. N. than she would get in a classroom today.
@tara987 What an outrageous statement. Doctors and engineers, surgeons and scientists dont learn to do what they do by speaking to a conference room filled with old people.
She's not an engineer or a surgeon or a scientist (although all three go to conferences to hear new ideas and discuss topics with colleagues and experts - and sometimes make speeches to old people).

@tara987 Nothing substitutes and actual education.
She’s just a political tool. They’re using a child to tap into peoples compassion.
Yeah that whole not fucking up the Earth to the poont we can't fix it lobby must be stopped. /s
@xkforcesc2 I never said that.
I disagree with her. She really needs to lighten up. The only reason she ranted and raved the other night was because her flight home was with Thomas Cook, and she found out they'd collapsed and was worried she wouldn't get home.
Simples...
I couldn’t care less what a little child says
How would you feel, then, if an adult said the same thing? Are you in denial that global warming exists?
@juicyjessie honey, I could care less if an ape told me that the world was going to ends literally, don’t care. Let alone a child.
Good luck when Armageddon happens! You seen to be very apathetic about it. Couldn't give a damn.
@juicyjessie Even if it did happen, it wouldn't be in our lifetime so alarmism isn't going to change anyone's mind. It just shreds your credibility and allows people to disregard any valid data you do have on principle. You have to do better than shame tactics or doom and gloom.
@juicyjessie the lol I’ll be dead by then if it even happens I won’t be alive.
Sure! We'll all be dead and buried. But what a shit legacy to leave future generations. "Let THEM clear up OUR shit!" Such a selfish attitude, but then, Trump shows the way that is by pulling out of the Paris Accord.
