It's her arrogance that's irritating ... and a refusal to accept that she herself is as hypocritical as the adults she's trying to belittle.
And so much anger with it too!
She's from a wealthy family ... apparently her mum represented Sweden in the 2009 Eurovision song contest.
You are not supposed to like her, but you must admit she is an extraordinary creature, who's achieved a lot.

Too much information extracted from individuals these days.

Greta is the new darling and her followers are kids with big ideas. The unfortunate point is as written in the Guardian yesterday ....

"The rising demand for flat-screen televisions could have a greater impact on global warming than the world's largest coal-fired power stations, a leading environmental scientist warned yesterday. "

So maybe she should begin by telling everyone to turn their flat screens off ?
Yes, I see what you mean. I didn't realise that saving the planet was age related, or even just commenting on a website. I noticed that a lot of comments had been removed and went to the rules section and it seem the whole website is just one big snowflake.

Flat screen televisions use much much less electricity than the old CRT horrors.

Plasma flat screens use a little more but not a great deal.

A typical 32 inch colour TV uses around 400 Watts and was often a fire hazard and a source of "soft" x-rays.


Fact.
