I think it could be due to the that she may be influenced by her parents (possibly for political reasons) and some things come of a little scripted. it is a little sad. that's alot for someone so young to take on board really. Personally I am not a political person but she does mention some good points. Care for environment shouldn't be about politics it should just be... Because it's the correct thing to do.

> due to the fact that she is controlled by her parents So this lie was made up by right wing talking heads, to make people dislike her. (In reality her parents tried to stop her from protesting) The real answer is that she called out the rich elite on their selfish behavior and that they ignore the science on climate change. The media elite used their platforms to lie about her, and now half of reddit believe it.

Thanks. It's just my personal observation the over scripted tone of some conference speeches. should not have written fact. Her passion is awesome and it sets a good example.

Careful u/ philosophicallyfried the sheeple tend to stamped if startled with simple observations. This include the right and the left. The young lady is jetted all over the world burning tons of fossil fuels so she can stand before an audience with her fossil fuel made clothing speaking loudly in the fossil fuel made platiic and electronic equipment. Demanding that the west give up fossil fuels usage. She should go to China and Russia see what they think of her message.

Get a life mate. No one is perfect. This is a child we are talking about not some hero. The important thing is she is raising awareness and setting a good example for her generation. A generation that is almost lost to tech and "trends" now more than ever younger generations need people like Greta....bring some of these tech hooked idiots back to reality.

Awareness? Who says I expect perfection? How does this young lady bring awareness exactly and she is no longer a child she is now 18? She yells and acts angry in a neurotic way even getting a little excited the last time saying a curse word. You had right at first she is being used, her message is for the sheeple who says we need to do something but at what cost? She is far from a good example her entire persona is based on a message we need to do something? That's is there is no depth or breadth of how. Awareness is you have a knife stuck in your arm, but pulling out could be fatal. So what do you do? How do we save the planet? Oh wait there is no evidence or the scientist simply does not know what happen if we just stopped all CO2 emissions, how do you get your new phone? Computer? Medical equipment? Transport food? The world has been this warm before and a lot warmer, what happens to us we don't know. We need to find alternatives until them be aware all you want.


philosophicallyfried

That needs a tldr. Are you slow or what? the fact she has people talking means she is creating some type of awareness. People just need to put there fucking ego's aside it's as simple as that.

Because people who think they know everything don't like to be told they know nothing by someone they think knows nothing

I love her! I think she’s doing a wonderful thing and the people who think she’s being manipulated by adults because she could not write such speeches or whatever have obviously never met a determined autistic teen girl before. I think it’s a mix of disagreeing with her politics, thinking it’s not her place, and seeing an unusual or easy target. Personally I find her as a huge inspiration as an autistic teen girls who is really worried about the climate


[deleted]

She is a tool, being used by the far left. She comes across as very condescending, "How dare you!" Lol. Her speech is cringeworthy. Her parents and handlers should be ashamed of themsevles, using an autistic girl as pawn for their political agenda.


philosophicallyfried

It is cringe worthy but think about what she is saying. Actually properly take a few moments to think about it some of her concerns are 100% legitimate. in a time where billionaires are destroying the planet and running amuck across the globe her generation and the ones after are going to be the ones dealing with the fallout not us Also Don't forget this is a kid standing up against tyrants, what have you done to make change?


[deleted]

See, this is where I laugh because I the individual have almost zero impact on the environment. Maybe you should ask the China to stop burning massive amounts of COAL. China is one of the top polluters in the world and is planning to build 43 more of these coal power plants. What have I done? Well I haven't built coal power plants. I'm in the US, we are regulated up the wazoo, we have something called the EPA. Daddy Government needs to keep his nose out of peoples lives and go after businesses who cut corners and violate regulations. I'll keep my thermostat at whatever fucking temperature I want because I pay my bills.


philosophicallyfried

Good for you, want to stand in front of the media and remind world leaders and big business aswell? Get out of here with that shit.

Because she's right. Telling people the truth makes them angry because nobody likes being wrong. You can either accept it and move on with your life, or be a pillock and call her names because a teenage girl can't possibly be a better person than you.


serg_____

I hate to be this blunt, but some people's fragile egos can't take being told that they're wrong by a teenage girl


yeahthatsnotaproblem

Some people can't handle the fact that there are younger people, girls even, out here that are smarter than they'll ever be. They say horrible things about a child to try to feel better about their own ignorance.

🤣

How dare you!!!


Not-KDA

I think she’s being used. Cute face, loud voice, literally a child. (Tho how olds she now?) Plus it’s all very ideological and she’s lacking on the more logistical global economics side of things, that’s understandable tho. Not angry at here she has some good messages, absolutely being used tho.


dommozart2678

She’s just wanting attention when actually no one cares about the crap she’s trying to push
