How fragile you all must be to be triggered by Greta.

She does have a point. All we hear are words from our politicians.

Why aren't we doing things like transitioning to glass containers instead of plastic ? Recycled paper for bags and other things instead of plastic ? Start manufacturing things in our own countries so we can decrease the number of ships polluting our air and oceans ?

I read that there were 60 plus containerships off the coast of CA the other day. Now, I don't buy into the claim that one of these ships pollutes as much as 50 million cars, what if it's 10% of that ? Even if it's 1% it's bad.

For glass containers they're a no go. All the raw materials (sand, soda ash, limestone, syenite and salt cake) have to be mined. Think of the fainting that would ensue.

As teeth grinding and looking for an exit annoying as I find her I agree. I certainly won't say I Hate her as I reserve that word for only the most extreme of cases. Hate is a strong and dangerous word. I use it for people that I could likely happily shoot in the face and sleep like a baby that night. Pedophiles, human traffickers, and sworn mortal enemies of which I thankfully don't have any. Greta don't fit that niche. She's just a kid being used like you said. Her parents I hold in contempt as they are just sitting back raking in cash on their child. Contemptable indeed.

This is the first I've seen of the kid in a spell. I thought she had burned out and faded away. Sadly she is just another poor kid who's folks should have taken her fishing more. Taught her about REAL conservation efforts that (gasp) hunters fishers and other outdoors types promote. Got her into anti poaching and such.

(sigh) instead they threw her on the altar fire of "climate change activism." What a waste.

Be honest, if she had just mocked Biden you would be celebrating her.

Children deserve a voice. Not global influence or power. But give it them and THIS is the end result.

She is what my grandparents used to call a "snot-nosed puke." That was the name used just before the belt came off and the hide got tanned. If she'd gotten some of that in her younger years, she wouldn't be such a nauseating jerkoff today.
