And, if someone with the same conditions was saying things you didn’t agree with you would be saying they were kids who should keep their mouths shut until they grew up a bit.

So why doesn't she go lecture Ji Xinping, President of the largest polluting country in the world? We all know the answer to that.
Meanwhile in China they have just opened this, one of over 50 airports they have built with another 25 under discussion whilst we have been discussing building one extra runway. Of course we in the UK have to stop flying, driving cars and eating meat as otherwise we will be responsible for the extinction of the polar bears, the icecaps melting and worldwide famine whilst China and elsewhere carry on.

Wasn't Ji Xinping at the UN to hear her? I believe he was - why would you want to use the 'why should we, when they're not' argument? I find that quite pathetic, I had you as smarter than that.

You know, with everything that's wrong with the World, I find it baffling you choose a sixteen year old girl trying very hard to fight for something she clearly believes in (this planets wellbeing ffs) to have a problem with?

Can't you think of anything more worthy to gripe about? There's a massive list.

Can think of much more deserving things but the topic of this thread is climate change and her actions recently are also a big part of the thread so of course I'm going to discuss her and give opinions.

Of course, but you sound like you're really on her case. Why hers when there is so much other ****?

She wants a better future, thats all.

I'm just looking and point out both sides of the coin as I always try to do.

If she was doing the exact same thing as she has done but her message was climate change was a myth and made up then people would be absolutely slating her. Calling her all sorts and most probably putting her health issues down as a reason etc. She's also completely OTT as nobody has stolen her childhood etc

Her message isn't that climate change is a myth, so Wtf are you talking about?

As for her childhood being stolen, she means she shouldn't have to do this, but she sees it as her duty.

She's a wonderful example for today's youth.

Go girl <peacedove>

What it makes me think is that the people around her are not looking after her welfare. She has OCD and anxiety issues, had dread fear instilled into her from a very early age . Cue anxiety and OCD , she's terrified and can't shake it. Her parents have effectively pimped her out to the environment movement who are shamelessly (ab)using her for its purposes, not least of which is to shut down the debate because 'how dare you(lol) she has Asperger's and is only 16'. Add to that the virtue signalling meetings with 'leaders' which only serves to compound her situation. This is not an attack on her , but an observation on the people who are meant to look after her best interests.
