When I see how angry this young woman is at everyone who doesn't agree with her it makes me sad. It also reminds me of when I read a book called the Animal Farm. If you gave her or anyone else any power at all they would be tyrants, forcing others to bend to their will. I pray we never ever get someone in a position of high power who has this religious zeal and absolute self assurance that she is right. It would not end well.
'She should be getting treatment': Leading Australian psychologist says he's worried about the mental well-being of 'entitled' autistic climate change poster girl Greta Thunberg @ Daily Mail in the UK
Also thinks she can burn out like many child actors that have drink/drug problems etc. very early.

"‘You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words’ is perhaps the whitest thing anyone has ever said at the UN. What is the correct answer? Is it (a) Go to your room? Or is it (b) Forgive me, to make it up you, Daddy and I are going to set the entire course of human civilization on a new track?
The correct answer — if you want to see your name in the Times or get a slot on CNN, and if you want to avoid getting mobbed by climate cultists — is of course, to apologize, mortify the flesh, shove tofu plugs into your every orifice, hail Greta Thunberg as the most radical and relevant UN debutante since Yasser Arafat, and then praise the pigtailed prophet of planetary paranoia for ‘staring down’ the dark emperor of pollution, Donald Trump.
The emissions you can smell aren’t carbon, but methane. If you watch the footage, Greta leans forward excitedly at Trump’s approach. It’s almost as if she’s expecting he’ll do the same as every other leader, and seek her blessing, like the British parliamentarians who declared a ‘climate emergency’ for her, or Jean-Claude Juncker, the habitual drunk who is the unelected president of the EU, and who, in the manner of habitual drunks, made a show of kissing her hand when she came to pour brimstone on Brussels. But Trump keeps going, completely oblivious, and obviously with more important things to do than to kiss her ring. How can you stare down someone who doesn’t even know you’re there? Magical powers. The acclamation of Greta Thunberg is as profoundly irrational as the millenarian cult of purgation and redemption that she advocates — puritan in its authoritarian demands, lascivious in its sensitivity to pain. The intrusion of this kind of sub-religious foolishness into politics is always a bad sign. It shows that we are in an environmental crisis, and that the world is coming to an end. But which environment, and which world?
The environment that is dying is the liberal democratic order in which we live. The world that is coming to an end is political: the post-1945 order, led by the United States. The form of Great Thunberg’s protest is familiar to any student of medieval Europe, the civilization that produced the Children’s Crusade and Joan of Arc. The content of her protest is a deliquescence of Protestantism into narcissistic terror.
‘We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth,’ says Greta. She was five years old when the wheels came off the European economy in 2008, and stole the dreams of a generation. The Swedes, like most other Europeans, have given up on procreation. Their demography is sustained by massive immigration which, their leaders tell them, is necessary in order to maintain the tax base and the welfare system.
Environmentalism is for rich white people, and so is life without religion. ‘The eyes of all future generations are upon you,’ Greta threatens. ‘And if you choose to fail us, I say we will never forgive you.’ This is prophetic, and pathetic too, in its faithless Lutheranism and reverse predestination.
The visionary child speaks on behalf of every unborn generation. She knows what the future will say, and who will be saved and who will be damned in memory. If only she could apply it to something useful, like prognosticating the result of the Kentucky Derby and using the proceeds to build a vast geodetic dome so that the elect could survive in a benign microclimate while the sinners wheel their recycling bins to the lip of the burning pit, then climb in and tip themselves into the flames.
‘You come to us young people for hope? How dare you!’ Greta says, as if she’s been reading Nietzsche on her boat trip cross the Atlantic. This anger is as close as she gets to the morbid heart of the environmental sub-religion. But the people she cites are explicit that economic growth must be stopped, and population growth too. No air-conditioners for the Indians, no children for the Africans. Hence Bernie Sanders’ semi-senile admission that the ‘saving’ of the planet on terms amenable to wealthy white lefties will require population control — in effect, a global program for the sterilization of non-white women. Greta, of course, doesn’t talk about the dirty stuff.
An earlier angry Euroteen, Fred Nietzsche, noticed that there is always something filthy and furtive about a prophet. ‘Whenever on earth the religious neurosis has appeared,’ Nietzsche wrote in Beyond Good and Evil (1886), ‘we find it tied to three dangerous dietary demands: solitude, fasting and sexual abstinence’. Greta came to New York in the ostentatious solitude of a racing yacht. In her auto-hagiography, she describes how she stunted her growth and deferred her physical development by starving herself. She is a child bride, betrothed to the earth as in some tedious Nordic saga.
‘What was eccentric and sick in his nature,’ Nietzsche wrote of his prophet, ‘with its fusion of spiritual poverty, faulty knowledge, spoilt health and overexcited nerves remained concealed from his own eyes and from the eyes of those who looked at him. He was not an especially good person, even less an especially wise person, but he signified something that exceeded all human measure of goodness and wisdom.’
A culture without purpose seizes on a false prophet because she signifies a faith that it has lost. This is why the cult of St Greta attracts converts in the affluent classes of western Europe and North America. American pollution and carbon emissions have been falling for decades, and the majority of the world’s pollution and carbon emissions come from India, China and Africa, but the stations of her martyrdom are in Stockholm, London and New York. Not just because the Chinese police would make short work of her and her PR handlers if they tried any nonsense near the Great Hall of the People, but because this daft circus only means something in the decaying West.
As with all apocalyptic visions, the sure way to turn them from warnings to realities is to follow their prescriptions. If Western governments commit themselves to zero-growth economies and demographic wastage, they’ll quickly collapse beneath the twin challenges of Asian economies and mass migration. Our environments will be ruined and our world ended — just like Greta said. It would take a heart of unmelted ice not to laugh."

This one is a bit more comedic, but it lines up with what much of the world is thinking about this little puppet. (Folks here should already know that she is an actress. Do not believe me? Do a bit of homework on your own Beliebers.)
Michael Moore and Greta Thunberg interviewed. So riveting.
And yes, I do watch, listen, and learn. I find it difficult though when a man approaching 70 cannot speak fluent English. Seriously, stop the stupidity.

It isn't like the Nazi's haven't used kids before. Im sure the carbon footprint just to get her to her media appointments , is larger than most peoples . and surely more than a single cow. wonder how much money the vegans, gave this child to fear monger
I read the other day that The Church of Sweden has proclaimed that Greta Thunberg is the successor to Jesus Christ. As a Christian, I apologize for the posting, it lacked sensitivity and understanding on our part and I hope Greta will hear my confession before it is too late. Others, repent while you still can!

Well you know, it could very well be the truth. When I first saw her speech, I felt compelled to exclaim out loud, "Oh, Jesus Christ!"
I expect that she is sufficiently sheltered from the harsh realities of life and so enticed by her newfound celebrity, that she will not experience such an epiphany until such time as her handlers deem that she is no longer useful.
Kids say the darnedest things. After all, they're kids.
It’s easy to be idealistic when you have zero responsibilities. She’s no different than the hippies of the 60’s.
She will find out soon enough that the view is a lot different from inside the machine. In here we all float...
So, true.BUT She fits a narrative the media (owners) want pushed. and the agenda of the NWO. or complete control. She also will be looked up on by other kids. And I don't know how the school systems are in the rest of the world, but here, the kids are taught the liberal narrative from k-college. Only when they get out of college with that genders studies and can't get a job do they understand they've been lied too. But then blame the 1%ers .
Every couple of years another child is rolled out.
I have been following this intently. A child actor, by an opera singer/actor mom, and actor dad, a grand father that owns a production company, and a George Soros/ONE connection walk into a bar...
These Climate Change leftists are much like the Quakers/Puritans of yesteryears. They are all seeking the New Jerusalem and everyone must abide by their manifesto.
The world is messy, yet these leftist (same that banned alcohol in prohibition period) desire a perfect world, so everyone must conform to their standards and behaviors of the New Jerusalem , because without it, the world will never be perfect. The problem is that the world will never be perfect and you will never get everyone on the same page on anything, even if you force them to be exactly like what you want.
It is best if we are all reasonable stewards and work on solving issues incrementally and not with fear, prejudices and force compliance.

Climate Change is indeed a "religion" with the left.
Having cast God aside, the left embraces "science" as their religion and "scientists" as their priests.
They even call their climate dogma "settled science", as the final, immutable, word of their "God" as revealed to them by their "scientist" priests and they call those that don't agree with their climate dogma: "deniers" in the same way other religions label heretics and blasphemers.
The oddest and most incongruent part of this "religion of science" is that the same adherents also claim that a man can be a woman and a woman can be a man........"it's settled science"
