I dreamt I was in a celebrity style death match with her.
She used the the turn buckle throw on me when I mimed putting my foot down in my ford Capri.
I woke before there was a winner. Shame we were just getting to know each other.
She needs her childhood and leave to Green Peace.
Is she from Whoville? Just wondering.

I think it's great to see a young woman so passionate and motivated to make a difference.
I also think it's sad that she's barely an adult and so much hatred has previously been directed at a child. |

Take a deep look at her personal finances for such a young girl she seems to have a very healthy bank balance and no doubt helped by travelling around the world in polluting Jet aeroplanes.
Talk about double standards |

Are you her accountant? How can you take a deep look at her personal finances? |

Didn't she sail over to New York in a boat once for a climate change thingy. Trying to reduce her footprint a little. But I see you didn't mention that. |

"I listened to an interesting programme on her on radio 4. She's a quiet, reserved young woman who I warmed to. I think she's brave and future generations will probably admire her."
Contemporary generations definitely admire her...and with good reason. |

It’s difficult isn’t it? On the one hand we have this young person, wearing their heart on their sleeve and saying “enough” and there is a lot to admire in that, regardless of the message. To stand up when others sit down is a strength in and of itself and history has proven that such people can and do make positive changes in the world.
On the other hand there is a naturally cynical population and media saying “but why?” When you poke your head above the parapet, people take aim.
Do any of us really know Greta’s “truth”? Probably not and we are highly unlikely too.
Is she a puppet, a pawn in the often lauded “great reset”, is she being manipulated by big corporations who have invested heavily in the green agenda and need to secure the next generations complicity in their vision of the world to recoup and profit from that investment?
Or is she representative of how impotent young people feel, when it comes to watching the potential destruction of their home, our planet?
Right now I am still on the fence, because I think she is being used but that ultimately that could turn out to be a positive thing, just not necessarily for her but for wider society. What I would say is that we, as people, should wrestle back some control over this agenda and not leave it solely in the hands of corporations that “know best” |

I don't agree with extinction rebellion, which she has links to.
Well not so much the movement or concept, but the way they carry out their protests etc.
Crippling business trading and costing people jobs, coming between someone saying goodbye to a loved one and lots of other scenarios that will have happened when you block travel ain't fucking fair.
It won't get people on your side, it will get people angry at the group instead. |

She appears to be thinking about the long term effects of what we all do.
I applaud that and she is inspiring her generation who are running with the idea.

I think she's now 18, but she's also on the autistic spectrum (Asperger's I believe) and some of the criticism she gets is very much related to her neurodiversity  |

I find her so inspiring and motivating. She's so powerful for one so young, passionate, articulate and committed. I feel so bad for our children that they feel driven to take this lead on climate change. I find the hateful trolling of her so disturbing, at the same time, she is managing to get us to keep talking about and hopefully acting to save our environment. It's a pity people look to find ways to dismiss her arguments because of who she is, child, Asperger's, wealthy, etc, none of which changes the facts she presents us with and challenges us on. |

She has achieved more than most people in only a few years. Its awful to see the nasty, spiteful comments about her.

Can she encourage her generation not to make such a mess at parks or mass meetings. And tell them not to discard Red Bull cans and McDonald’s at the roadside, as well as those little gas cartridges that you see everywhere these days. |

Do you not think it's a valid point though? Yes, adults do similar, but they can be fined by the law whereas children cannot, so no consequences to them. Surely working to solve a part of the problem is of use? She has an excellent platform to do so. |

Shes probably doing a lot more rhan you. Instead of moaning about her for apparently not campaigning for your particular cause..... why don't you go out and campaign to educate these litter louts - regardless of their age? Or this something some one else should do.
David Attenborough has campaigned about climate change for years - are you going to write to him and tell him he's not doing enough?

Yes she did, using a diesel generator to power the electrics I believe.
They then had to fly the entire crew home and fly a totally new crew over to sail it back.
So the crews air miles meant it became purely a publicity stunt.
Hope that helps. |

I saw them regularly marching round London, shouting "Fuck the police", causing massive tailbacks( causing more pollution), leaving their placards and rubbish (causing more pollution) then jumping on the trains home, havmissed a day at school.
So to be honest I would rather my children didn't follow that lead. |

Greta has consistently said she's highlighting the science, which tells us we're not doing enough. She's not proposing solutions as she isn't a scientist or policy maker. She emphasises the most up to date environmental science to those who can do something about it - those in power. It is they who continue to take minimal action, if any. That is where she directs all her fabulous energy and passion. |

It's a shame she doesn't direct her "fabulous energy and passion" at China or India though, two of the highest polluting countries in the world. Why is that do you think? |

Your mental fragility is irrelevant to me. I give 15% of my annual salary to charities, some of which are environmental concerns ie, direct and affirmative action. She has the opportunity and the platform to address young people on the matter of littering that they could potentially relate to, but she doesn't. Why? Here's a simple question for you. What was the percentage of CO2 in the planet's atmosphere before she started campaigning, what is it now and what percentage of the change is she directly responsible for? My point in asking this question is that she has no quantifiable results to show. Merely "believing" that she is doing good is no different to those who believe in a god. She is little more than a self-styled prophet. |

"I always find it very interesting that in general women mainly support her, and mainly men are negative about her.
Why is this, do you think?"
Because they (men) find her confidence and willingness to put her head above the parapet unnerving? History says women should be meek and mild and compliant, not outspoken and willing to share their views in a forthright manner? Just a guess.
I was about to make the same comment about the gender split between admiration and criticism.
I'd imagine it's much the same reason why women in positions of authority are more often discussed for their appearance, rather than what they do or say. Theresa May's shoes and fashion choices seemed to be discussed with far greater veracity than any male PM, for example. |

But as she gets older she will be better exposed to how the world works, how economics affects everything and how Earth Science is a fairly new discipline with very complex interactions, which we are only just scratching the surface of.
She may mean well, but her doom goblin chastisement 'will' wind up many and turn them off from doing something positive about the climate.

Well considering plate tectonics is about 100 years old and we only have fairly low resolution models for climate/earth interactions, it is fairly new in the scientific field. I know the ancient greeks did all sorts, but they didn't understand about carbon output of volcanism or albedo effects of ice caps did they? |

You could say the same about biology though! We only deduced the structure of DNA in 1953 and sequenced the human genome in 2003 (having started in 1990), so by your reckoning, biology is a recent science  |

You're right, (and I didn't mean my last post to sound rude) but I was talking about science in relation to climate change, as that was the original topic. Plate tectonics only dates back to 1960ish and it is a major factor in Earth/climate interactions. Our understanding of albedo effects only became measurable with the advent of satellite technology. I'm not selling the Ancient greeks short, but they lacked a lot of the technology that has made these advances possible |

Sorry, it's 10 in Wales, England and Northern Ireland. I think it's 12 in Scotland?
"
Apologies, 10 then. Still, to suggest young people cannot be held criminally responsible is somewhat off the mark... |

Check my post. I didn't say that young people cannot be held criminally responsible, I said "Yes, adults do similar, but they can be fined by the law whereas children cannot..."
UK law states "If the child is under 16, the youth court is compelled to order that parents or guardians pay the fine". So I was correct.

We've put 10 year olds in prison before now (granted for extremely serious offences), so although unusual, children under 16 can be and are prosecuted in their own right and ARE punished by supervision orders, detention in youth offender institutions or secure children's homes. Financial penalties are a different thing because where would children get money from? |

The post was about littering and the whole point was that it would be the parents who took the financial hit for that and the child would learn nothing in that respect for contributing to destroying the planet. This is very tiring to explain. |

Not sure why parents should be held responsible for what their children do? If I was a parent and had a 16 year Old daughter out causing mischief then she should answer the courts and not me. If the courts fined a parent then surely they could sue the child for financial loss |

"Take a deep look at her personal finances for such a young girl she seems to have a very healthy bank balance and no doubt helped by travelling around the world in polluting Jet aeroplanes.
Talk about double standards "
Or possibly she's using her privilege to make a difference as unfortunately the poor often can't afford to be environmentally conscious and often are far more preoccupied with just getting by. |

"She's a fuckin' boss."
I watched that film about her(I am greta) utterly awe inspiring.How many 16 year olds have changed the world?
She is so humble and has a great knack of winding up middle aged,middle class white men. |

Bit strange how people have access to her bank account. |

As a middle aged white man I should dislike her intensely, with her message about climate control and especially as she’s a young woman, the temerity to lecture me on the way we are destroying the planet !!
Or that’s what Politicians and certain newspapers are telling me how to think and feel about her.
She had me with that hard stare at Donald Trump (even more when she trolls him on Twitter)
Also her message seems to be one we all benefit from |

I watched a speech by her once telling politicians that they had stolen her childhood and scowled at them looking miserable.. poor girl.. she should be in school playing hopscotch and reading Enid Blyton and being happy.. I fear for her mental health.. it could destroy her |

On the contrary, her parents strongly believe this has saved her. But they are just her parents so what do they know? |

I mean little girls should just be pretty and be more like the ‘Famous Five’ know their place within the gender structure of that particular bunch of stories, by Enid Blyton. Perfectly parodied by The Comic Strip.  |

They wouldn't be the first parents to exploit their child.
I'm not saying they have but it's a possibility. |

"Well in Victorian times they used small children as chimney sweeps and pickpockets and burglars.. "
And in modern times Adults can still be arseholes without any one to blame for their behaviour. |

I can read a lot of frustration on that forums
Don't be mad at her because she figured out what she wanted to do with her life at 15 or so when you are still figuring it out at 50 |
