It's all programmed and she is a tool for other people like Green Peace etc. in an attempt to make the world see their story.
I'm quite sure she doesn't mind, ( which kid wouldn't like all the attention ), but she is after all only 16 yrs old and there is a huge lifetime of responsibility being placed on her shoulders.
she does annoy me a bit, and I suppose she'll be telling all the yachtsmen and women how to 'splice the mainbrace' now !

Once again Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies emerges and once again it's validity is confirmed.
It always crawls out when someone has lost an argument and can't think of any other way to regain at least some semblance of credibility.
It always fails to succeed as is the case here.

Re: Greta Thunberg
She's also of the generation that will be faced with the hugely damaged environment that we and our kids are responsible for creating. Not just atmospheric polution that is a critical factor in global warming but also marine polution and that's not just plastic waste, it's chemical polution that is poisoning the marine environment.We and our kids were faced with the awful polution created by the industrial revolution and raised to the nth. power by the Victorians and have had little success in dealing with it in spite of the huge costs in trying to do so.
HER generation and beyond are facing with the crap that we've not dealt with on top of which is the awful polution WE have produced.
She's tried to raise awareness of what is taking place and that is either being ignored or not even believed by so many people.
Rather than being criticized or even worse ridiculed her achievements should be applauded and used to continue the protesting and education of people who still deny the blatantly obvious usually because they don't WANT to believe what is taking place.
