It's interesting to see how some factions are now claiming that Greta is merely a puppet, following some hidden power's agenda. That's obviously nonsense. Listen to her! All she asks is that the politicians listen to the scientists.
- tobib 7y agoThat, and that governments do what they promised they would do in the Paris agreement. It should really not be that controversial.

She's a 16 year old child with no evidence of any particularly exemplary understanding of climate change or its impact on the world. She clearly has support from people with deep pockets, and the fact that they've chosen an approximately average child to deliver this message shows that they're elevating appeal to pathos over logos. You may agree with what she's advocating for, but that doesn't change the fact that this is literally propaganda, and choosing such a condescending messenger is going to turn off a lot of the people whose minds you're trying to change - and rightly so, I don't think adults should allow themselves to be shamed by children into making decisions.
- Hamuko 7y agoOh no, a 16-year-old child with a basic understanding of climate change. This must be the work of the fucking Freemasons!
- papermachete 7y agoWhy listen to a child, specifically, and not the scientists themselves? Unless it is another attempt to portrey kids as the symbol of purity and truth.
- Hamuko 7y agoAre we only able to listen to one or the other?
- papermachete 7y agoThere's nothing she can teach me about climate change over scientists.
- tpush 7y agoShe is literally saying that people should listen to the scientists. Like come on, you can't be serious.
- papermachete 7y agoBut I am serious and I consider affirmative action on children child abuse.
- RhysU 7y agoRegular or irregular?
- ryacko 7y agoIf what you're saying is true, isn't it crazier that no major media outlet is stating who her backers are?
- env123 7y agoMost of the times, the ones with the fundamental understanding are the most sensible. KISS principle - Keep it simple, stupid!
- kalado 7y ago"I don't think adults should allow themselves to be shamed by children into making decisions" She might be right but I am older so it doesn't matter. /s The truth is that you don't need any exemplary understanding or expertise to understand that if 99% of the scientific population in the whole world are screaming about climate change, backed by literally decades of research, you might just accept that, instead of living in your barricaded fragile ego because children are smarter than you. Also, support from people with deep pockets? All institutions with deep pockets lose money by reducing their emissions. That is the most illogical backwards conspiracy i've ever heard.
