I saw the news tonight and was really impressed by this young woman. Whether you believe in what she says or not, she came across as a passionate, caring, confident and someone who believes in her cause.
More power to her.
It would appear that Trump is not a believer in climate change and is walking away from the Paris agreement, yet, ironically goes to chair a meeting on religious persecution.
Watch Greta below.

I thought it was just me 
She reminds me of Malala Yousafzai
We all know what we should be doing
Tell us how to do it then I will be impressed
Being a dyed in the wool cynic, I'm wondering which vested interest is pulling her strings and financing all this world travel, but she does annoy my socks off too
Where's her mandate?
Who says she speaks on behalf of âĶ anyone?
Is what she says just her view, or prompted by others? If 'others' âĶ who are they?
What she's trying to do is admirable but using increasingly hysterical and emotive language doesn't help.
There are no sudden solutions - what does she really expect to happen?

What's anyone's mandate? Most of those corps and federations who lobby Trump only mandate is money and the interest of getting more money.
Should anyone have a view? Or should organised money just be listened to?
Is it emotive? Give her a break, she's a youngster passionate about her cause.
She wants a revision of the system that's halved global genetic diversity in little over her short lifetime. I expect she's rightfully cynical about global capitalism.
Could agree more ^^^^^
I've earned the right to act like a child
She aint earned the right to act like an adult

She's a media construct, everything she says or does is choreographed by adults who are using her. These adults includes Al Gore and business types who stand to make a mint if she gets many people believing in her. It's all a conjob and they are using a little child, with a mental illness, to get their BS message across...and demonising those who challenge her. It's rather scandalous.
