What else was he supposed to say ? "shut the XXXX up kid " ? Like him or not, in his position there are many more things to attend to then getting scolded by this kid. He answered awkwardly to an awkward situation.
Personally, he should just stay off twitter all together, but that is subject for another thread.
i thought his response was perfect, not awkward at all. calling the little doom-&-gloomer a 'a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future'
We all know polluting is bad...no need for the lectures. And I've been all for the highlighted since I was aware of offshoring and going "global". This is where we need to focus. Shipping is one of the worst polluters ...yet not a peep about it from Greta and her peers. This is why many of us aren't paying attention to her.
We know where the issues are but they aren't being addressed with viable solutions. Ones that won't kill economies across the globe.
Evidently there is plenty of need for lectures, because nothing is changing. Can't eat or drink economies when it all gets bad enough.

Mentally ill and emotionally unstable children should not be making speaches at the UN.
Don't listen to her if you don't like what she has to say. Many aren't ever going to listen. But many millions more are and will. Although, sadly it's too late, but I admire her tenacity.
The young lady is not stating anything new. She is just the IT girl of the moment for the cause. Remember Al Gore; he was gallivanting around via private jets stating the same thing, made his millions in speaking events and is retired from the being the face of the "cause". Are humans negatively impacting the Earth??? Yes. The four points i listed above are just some of the ways that we are doing just that.
As others have stated, she should be back in school and attending counseling for her issues. Her parents should definitely be investigated.
I agree with your list. However, people are too self absorbed to ever allow any of that to go away.
I don't think people on this forum are concerned one iota about poor Greta and her need to be in school. They just want her to ****.
