    As with some young child film stars and musicians thrusted in the spot light, I wouldn't be surprised if she has a mental break down of some kind in a few years.
    Hope that's not the case of course.

    Clearly her parents are pushing her in to this, by how much we won't know till later on.
    Let's just hope it's not for their own attempts at fame.


    Can't disagree with what Greta is saying though, we can certainly do a lot more - I know that I dont.

    Personally I don't think anything we do as a collective is going to change much, the planet goes through these cycles, we just haven't managed to live through a recorded one yet.
    Industrial revolution was log after the likes of the ice age, it also didn't effect the planet when the river Thames froze over, what did we all blame that on if not nature?

    No doubt we could do more to make things easier and cleaner for each other, but for me as far as global warming/climate change, it's gonna happen regardless.


    Finally, the amount of supposed adults taking some weird offence to a 16 year-old lass with Asperger's with a climate speech is * up.
    Calling the girl a boot - what the *?
    Seen plenty on twitter the last few months as well, from supposed public figures who have called her a lot worse as well. Fully grown adults bullying a 16 year old lass with Asperger's...well done everyone.

    Don’t think anyone disagrees with the message she’s putting across. If they do they’re fur the watching.

    I’d personally rather hear it from someone like David Attenborough who’s spent a lifetime in the natural world as opposed to a young autistic girl who should be left to live her teenage years like a teenager.

    Attenborough's already saying it and has for years. He's made award-winning documentaries about it that have went massive all round the world. Some people are listening but Industry isn't; as change is bad for businesses. Infact they're pushing on with things like fracking instead of looking at alternatives.

    For me the message doesn't have to come from one individual. She's right in what she's saying but big industry will get their media & political lackeys to go after her to discredit her. She's rattled them that much that even the US President is attacking the 16 year old messenger; rather than the message (because they know it's a dead duck)

    My point is, this kid is only saying what we know already and she,s only getting the attention because of what she is and not what she is saying,its old news.

    Again no real harm but imo if a person is going to listen to anyone regarding climate change id suggest they listen to the scientists/professors who have studied the problem over time.

    So what?

    No matter who it is, if the issues are being highlighted then it's a good thing. She's making headlines everywhere.

    But has been pointed out time-and-time again - very few folks are actually taking action because of what the experts have been saying (for decades!!!).

    If it takes a young lass from Sweden to get folk to take note (particularly young folk), then well done her. I just hope the process doesn't buckle her mentally.

    Mon the Greta!

    Exactly. Not everyone has the desire, capacity, or will, to be an activist.

    The world is discussing her and as a result more and more people are forced to think about their own impact on the environment.
