She is sillier than I thought possible.......... Even allowing for the impressionable atge... Planes are going there anyway, so the carbon footprint lark is out of the window.... I understand climate change is unstoppable and what have you, but I think she is following someone else's agenda for chaos.
She is a manipulated puppet, nothing more nothing less,but at her age and with her psychological problems it's an easy manipulation, shame on her parents for prostituting her like this.
Sadly I think this critical message on climate change is being diluted in this instance by the pawning of Greta, I blame her parents, but also those like you suggest are using her situation and health for their agenda. What she did leading the classroom rebellions was the level she should of stayed at, it was after all making headline news. Putting her on the world stage to be in some instances ridiculed or pitied deflects away from the crucial message. IMO
Time magazine has a different viewpoint on Greta: Greta Thunberg named Time Person of the Year for 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-50740324
Shame on all those who exploit her undoubted passion. I wonder why her parents don't promote her other sibling in the same way! Oh hang on!! Time magazine, is it for those in prison?
