I have no real problem with Greta, other than a few criticisms. She acts like a know-it-all. However, I have still to hear anything profound coming from the prepared statements she reads with emotional vigour. I wish I had the vocabulary to adequately describe Greta. But, her words are more rhetorical blanket shaming. And I could imagine that whatever recycling, renewable usage, and environmental impact minimisations she does in her life, she probably does more environmental damage than the average person who was born years earlier.
Have you ever read or heard a quote from Greta that shows that she has identified a problem and has a solution? I cannot be satisfied that she knows what she is talking about on this climate change issue. And her soapbox style blame-shifting speeches do nothing more than to antagonise people that might well have been able to support her had it not been for Greta's scapegoating.
In 20 years time, Greta is going to look back on these days and wonder if she had wasted her breath. 8 billion people in the world, and Greta will face the fact that a third world majority will be telling her where she can sit and pontificate. She will have more things to worry about other than a concern for how hot the days get.
I'll bet, ten Bob to a trade bit, that Greta has no idea what she is actually talking about.
Does she understand carbon production?
What about the science of global warming/ cooling, does she even have a layman's understanding?
Does she understand past climate changes on a scale far beyond what we are experiencing now, and they still have no clear factual reason for these climate variations.
Greta is nothing but a stuck up little mouthpiece.
Solutions?
You have to be kidding, she can barely enunciate a simple sentence that has been prepared for her.
