Hrrm, here's a thought. Because a person fervently believes in supporting a cause, in this case a very good and important cause, does that mean that they have to always do things that are in line with the essentials of that cause?

Re: Greta Thunberg

We should never forget that Emma Thompson is an actress. Emma Thompson has also been an avid supporter of many activist groups, and Emma Thompson has a new movie coming out this year.

One also wonders if Emma Thompson (and others) are asked to appear at such protests. I suspect they are, in position of Ambassadors.

There are times that the benefits from people doing what others say than they seem to do outweigh what they do.

I believe she is a 'plant' sent by the large oil companies to sabotage the cause and make all the protesters look like laughing stocks...How can you possibly take her seriously....

Re: Greta Thunberg

Hi

A personal view.

She has a point, we are not doing well for our Kids and Grandkids.

We could do better and we should.

She has been hijacked by the nutters.

We cannot change things overnight.
