She needed to keep herself in the public eye, so shes now an expert in virology.

\\Thunberg said in a statement that “like the climate crisis, the coronavirus pandemic is a child-rights crisis” that will affect youngsters now and in the long-term, especially the most vulnerable.//

Childs rights ?, its affecting everyone.

//She's not wrong about climate change,...// She's wrong insofar as her criticism should be directed towards those who are exacerbating the problem to the greatest degree. That is China (30% of global emissions) the USA (14%) and India (7%). That's half of all global emissions. The UK is responsible for just over 1%. It could reduce its share to nothing...

Absolutely nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone's stance on an issue but for goodness sake some decorum and joined up sentences would be a blessed relief from some.
If that was in any way directed at me Webbo, gullible I am not.

I don't agree with everything Greta or indeed other campaigners do or say, however I don't need to say so in such crude and cruel personal a fashion.
If you want to know why banks and power companies are sponsoring Greta, you could do worse than watch the video I posted earlier.
They are conning the gullible amongst you.

Have a look at "Four Twenty Seven" Webbo....another set up to promote the scam and pay big dividends with enough "investors". This is their mission statement.
‘Four Twenty Seven is the leading publisher and provider of market intelligence on the economic risk of climate change. Our mission is to catalyze climate adaptation and resilience investments by enabling the integration of climate science into business and policy decisions' ...........No Shh Sherlock. By the way 24 7 is owned by....tada Moody's Corporation, a ratings agency. Talk about square the circle. We now have rating agencies "investing" in the scams and then no doubt manipulating the "facts" to increase the earnings on the investment.
This is why I stopped visiting this site a while back. It's becoming an echo chamber for conspiracy theory loons and dimwits.
Togo, kick backs, while making youth paranoid, what a receipe.
everyone else shrugs there shoulders.. girls just a pawn.
oh well..the frutcake has managed to derail the post, been proven as unable to understand the written word...but still keeps banging on.

Wasnt expecting an answer as to your inabilty to understand NJ's post stating her mother listed her "illnesses" that you claim he as good as came up with himself....what a pointless little mug you are..end of
The basic two sides in the Greta argument seem to be less about the veracity of her arguments, than her ability to make them believably.

I am firmly on the side of Naomi and those who believe that this is a disturbed and manipulated child who is being utilised to publicise and agenda, the scientific complexities of which she is simply unable to comprehend because she has not lived long enough to have read and understood them properly.

If you are going to put yourself on the world stage - or to be accurate, have yourself to be put on the world stage by adults around you who should be protecting and raising you, not putting you on show like a circus elephant - then hostility goes with the territory, the higher your profile and subject, the greater hostility you will get.

So although I think Ms Thunberg's prophesies of doom are both unsustainable and incorrectly targeted, my main concerns would be that she is being manipulated and damaged by her parents for their own self-aggrandisement by proxy.

Well said Andy.
andy-hughes, i agree absolutely, she should as i said, using an island
as an example, to learn eaxpeience what its really like, but its just a very very small learning example, i could say rainforrests, antartica ice studies.. she needs to finish school and take that further in her quest for knowledge in her desire to save the earth, again she's a pawn.
reminds me of Joseph Merrick aka the elephant man, manipulated
mental rather than physical.
Fender - as I see it, for some utterly unfathomable reason, a group of people seem to believe a climate change 'message' more fervently, simply because it is delivered to them by the novelty a damaged vulnerable teenager, rather than some crusty (but deeply knowledgeable) academic.

It smacks to me of Joan Of Arc - who convinced people that because she says her message is from God talking to her, she must be talking sense.

History shows that taking messages from novelty figures does not usually end well - and the most severe cost is paid by the novelty figure - the manipulators simply move on.
fender - we cross-posted, but I think you see my position from the same viewpoint - novelty and veracity are not necessarily the same thing.
Well at least we have the full spectrum of Greta hate being represented now from the straightforward name calling through to the faux concern for a 'disturbed and manipulated child'.
Not forgetting the brief stop off in tin foil hat land of course.
If it's a choice I'll take it instead of her front.

You don't know me from Adam, so you have no idea if my concern is 'faux' or not, so you cannot comment on its veracity.

If you can't distinguish between 'hate' and 'concern', then you need to buy a dictionary, or better still, try accepting what is written at face value, instead of trying to twist it to fit your own perception of the situation.
douglas - // If it's a choice I'll take it instead of her front. //

Sorry, I don't understand - care to elaborate?
tomus42, no one hates anyone, but despise manipulation by adults, who absolutely should know better... for christs sake, if you cannot see that then you are blind m8, no hate...follow the money, ie the adults.
// You don't know me from Adam, //

But I do. I've read many posts that you've made on this site, on lots of different issues. So unless they're all completely fictitious in the sense that you're fabricating a character and opinions that aren't your own then I think I know you a little bit.
