Greta Thunberg is a 20 year old woman who deserves to be taken seriously.

Everything Greta Thunberg & Climate Change

We are all different, but what is one of the things we all do have in common?
We all live on this globe and we are all part of this world.

Many people dismiss Miss Thunberg's fight to save our planet on the basis that she herself is not an academic expert. They easily dismiss her even though she do have an education. Some even dismiss her because she is young or even worse, because she is a woman.

This is not only Miss Thunberg's fight. It is actually everybody's fight.
Her main contribution to the world of today is to uphold and put more focus on climate change. She successfully reaches new demographics with her campaigning to save earth.
Even older demographic groups previously adamant, not interested in the planet itself (the very planet they live on). Many of her most enraged critics are old. But Miss Thunberg is not deterred.

Let's hear it.
Why are you opposed to Greta Thunberg or why do you support her struggle?



Are you yourself actively part of a environmental organization or do you try to help planet earth in some other way?

Below I have linked the Wikipedia page for those interested in her struggle to save earth and awaken us all.

There is still hope. Even though many have given up on our planet's future ,there is still hope and it needs to be repeated. Our planet is not doomed... yet.

There is still hope.



EDIT:
Keep it civil and stay on topic.

Greta is rich and received media attention for whatever reason. What she said and was active about wasn't anything new. In the early 90s people were already climate activistic, although most were ignored.

There is a bias, you see...
thanks to the hippy era.

If people claimed these things even if they had scientific evidence they wouldn't be taken seriously and people thought of them as animal protection activists (despite that being a different subject) or stoned on something.

What I find disgusting though is that the media selectively picked her likely, because her family is rich and because she is what people hope to be an example.

Yeah especially rich people are the same people that don't want to be even richer.What happens when years pass the same people "take off their gloves" / conflict of interest emerge in public , and you tend to follow the money/ what goes on background/ behind closed doors rather than marketing:

Sadly there is no meat to this story.
I hope she fades away and becomes forgotten(like she was before this forum thread).

I'm a simple boss.

I only pay to those who delivered. I pay my interest, my attention, my trust, my money. You promised on something and delivered. You have my respect.

The people who only tell other people to do things and delivered nothing, they are worth 0 cent to me.

Most people on earth don't really rich enough to care about the environment. I worry about my next month than the next generation of human.
And no it's not my fight. I'll be dead long before any of that disaster happen, if it happen.

Next generation must fend for themselves, just like how I have to deal with problems from the boomer era.
She can do whatever she want. I will not support or oppose her.

Worrying about the betterment of mankind is a privilege of the rich. Because they have so much time and money to actually do anything about it.

[Grendalcat]

Eh, she is free to say whatever she wants.
And I am free to ignore her.

Greta is an anagram for great. She has a great sense of humour, and is a great humanitarian. Like Apex mentioned, Greta's fight is our fight as well.

Additionally, Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim made an incredibly inspirational song from one of her speeches:

Greta is a lightening rod as well; depending on what people think of her, you can pretty much guess their viewpoints about everything else.

[EpirusWarriorμολὼνλαβέ]

Fatboyslim the epithome of London/NY and other metrocities politics and their lifestyle. Typical clown that jumped EDM not through talent but marketing, than broke on mainstream garbage MTV that was also highly political, through political messages.


If anything these should be the music when you hear her talk

I don't trust her. Simple as that.

[GhostyOsty]

Of course, and all the middle age men complain because it's not their generation saying it.

[Doomerang]

We all know nothing will get done about the environment as long as China or India does not play ball but she insists on only hammering the west to weaken it. If you are stupid enough to not see that then i feel sorry for you because obviously the problem will never get solved here. She’s only in it for profit and ruining the lives of the average person.

If you follow her you are pretty much the equivalent of a living tool and should rot in hell. No matter how much we ruin ourselves to appeal her she will never stop all the while China and India pollute the world. What else is there to say other then the fact that she is a globalist coward and her fans are even less then that

Yeah because you have to be middle aged to complain, the rest just buy the bs. But since you mention the past you know how many Gretas have been before?

How she getting around to these places to protest? Via a jet so she isn't practicing what she is preaching.

Those same middle aged men that worked their asses off so you could live your life of privilege so you can sit around and spout her nonsense directed only at one source and not even the cause of the problem. Must be nice to have such an easy life. People like Greta
And you will never target the source because you are cowards and know that they would physically hurt you. So you only go after middle to lower class people. It’s pathetic

[Sir Seanicus, Esq.]

Nah.

I mean you guys already burn fossil fuel and industrialize. Now you reap the rewards but condemn others following your path?
