- a doubling in the number of children's books being published which address the climate crisis was reported, with a similar increase in the sales of such books—all aimed at empowering young people to save the planet. Publishers attribute this to the "Greta Thunberg effect"
- Inspired by Thunberg, wealthy philanthropists and investors from the United States have donated almost half a million pounds to support Extinction Rebellion and school strike groups to establish the Climate Emergency Fund.Trevor Neilson, one of the philanthropists, said the three founders would be contacting friends among the global mega-rich to donate "a hundred times" more in the weeks and months ahead.

- She's already a hero & inspiration to many young people as well as older people as you can see above.
This all before the age of 18
What is she saying that hasn't been said?? That Al Gore didn't say when he was the golden boy of global warming?
Not sure how wealthy philanthropists and investors donating money is going to do to solve the issue? It's somewhat like throwing money into a fire. A lot of promises and ideas are thrown about but nothing rarely gets done.
We know the issues but we are just dancing around them hoping that a miracle solution appears so we DON'T have to change our way of life.
Imagine if we were to tell the The Wonderful Company LLC, "You need to shut down Fiji Water. It's not environmentally sustainable. Transporting water from Fiji in plastic bottles just doesn't make sense. Instead invest in local water filtrating systems."
Flash back to the 70s when I was little kid. The doomsayers had my first grade class trembling the we would be a giant Ice ball in the year 2000. They should be ashamed of themselves
I should start making memes. That one after your "Btw" was exactly what I thought when I first saw that photo of her with all that food. "Sure, Greta, you're living the hard life."
I love that someone did that - it's hilarious.

Is that number the same as the one the left needed when they lost their ish over the Covington kid for wearing a MAGA hat, and, horror of horrors, smirking? You remember those kids, right? The ones who went to a March for Life march trying to save babies from being slaughtered?

All of those in that list cost nothing. Stop buying crap. Stop wasting crap. Stop spawning so many kids. Cost: $0.00
But that isn't what "man made 'You've ruined my life' climate" hoax is all about.
That green in the meme should be money flowing down.

Truly...they stole your dreams and your childhood.
Something we must note is that this young lady is an Asperger's patient, and one of the more notable symptoms of that disorder is the tendency to irrationally obsess over issues over which the patient has little or no control. It's surprising how many on this board have deceived themselves into thinking that, in Ms. Thunberg's case, this bizarre obsession represents some upwelling of inspired moral courage regarding the planet and our environment, when in truth and in fact, it is merely an uncontrollable mental tic altogether too characteristic of Asperger's, as well as other disorders on the autism spectrum. An uncontrollable mental tic, we must note, that is being exploited by her Antifa parents for their own financial ends.
Edit: Greta Thunberg is now in the internet meme hall of fame with some others memes like Willy Wonka, Big Lebowski, Aids Skrillex, Trigglypuff, etc...
