You are so hung up on calling names you cant get the point. I could care less about your name calling, the concept, psychology, and lack of any real value behind the name calling thats being used to try and silence opposition is what I take issue with.
No, it's pointing out the argument many of her defenders make. When she gets pushback, the retort is often, "but she's just a sixteen year-old girl, how dare you!!"
Either she should be taken seriously, whether people agree with her or not, or she should be dismissed for being "just a sixteen-year old girl."
Otherwise she's just being used as a shield to deflect counter arguments.
Again, this is typical 'all or nothing' thinking.
You can agree with the message but dislike the messenger. You can appreciate the drama of the messenger but disagree with the message.
And so on and so forth in several different variations.
I know many people have issue with Vox, but I think they did a great job at explaining why scientists are having a hard time conveying their findings on climate change to the general public.
I nominate her as Queen of the snowflakes. Get real kid. No one came to you for anything.

Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, speaking at the United Nations General Assembly today, said she shouldn't have to be addressing the crisis.
"I should be back in school, on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope," she said. "How dare you!"
She continued: "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words — and yet, I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying."
Someone needs to explain how CO2/global warming is so dangerous....they keep putting policies in place that allow the vast majority of countries to increase their emissions..
..and then argue on the internet that it's the only fair thing to do....admitting these 3rd would crapholes can't grow their economies without burning fossil fuels
And then blame the countries that are not increasing emissions...and tell them they have to lower their emissions even more to make up for the increase in emissions from the 3rd world.
If global warming was 1/10th as dangerous as they try to make out.....no country no where..under any conditions...would be allowed to increase their CO2 emissions...and that tells me the whole thing is a scam
The UN/IPCC was formed in 1988 to lower global CO2 emissions....their policies for the past 30 years have been designed to increase CO2 emissions...their policies were successful...CO2 emissions from developing countries are now the largest contributor by far...and have increased over 500%
I know many people have issue with Vox, but I think they did a great job at explaining why scientists are having a hard time conveying their findings on climate change to the general public.
I disagree, I think it is conveyed just fine. My opinion is that this is being used/hijacked to enact other things not related to the environment, but of course the environment being the reasoning for it. Pretty much every solution, despite decades of progress to reducing pollution, is that everyone basically needs to pay more, way more, and to ban things. It all comes down to the theory which I support is that the communists fled to the environmental movement to continue their goals.
