This woman has the earmarks of yet another Monarch mindslave like her sister "revolutionary" Malala Yousafzai. If there was anything truly "revolutionary" about her, the Establishment would shun her, not give her airtime. (Witness how all US and UK corporate media has turned its back on Assange). Her devotees no doubt think they are helping the environment by parroting her rhetoric.
On 9 October 2012, while on a bus in the Swat District, after taking an exam, Yousafzai and two other girls were shot by a Tehrik-i Taliban Pakistan gunman in an assassination attempt in retaliation for her activism; the gunman fled the scene. Yousafzai was hit in the head with a bullet and remained unconscious and in critical condition at the Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology, but her condition later improved enough for her to be transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, UK.[8] The attempt on her life sparked an international outpouring of support for her. Deutsche Welle reported in January 2013 that she may have become "the most famous teenager in the world".[9] Weeks after the attempted murder, a group of 50 leading Muslim clerics in Pakistan issued a fatwΔ against those who tried to kill her.[10] Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan were internationally denounced by governments, human rights organizations and feminist groups. Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan officials responded to condemnation by further denouncing Yousafzai, indicating plans for a possible second assassination attempt, which they felt was justified as a religious obligation. Their statements resulted in further international condemnation.[11]

I'm sorry. I must have hit a nerve. Both Thunberg and Yousafzai are used for PR purposes by bourgeois governments. For instance, recently during the Fall of Afghanistan, Yousafzai wrote an op-ed piece warning about the rise of the Taliban again. "Freeing women", letting them vote in elections, and giving them an education were some of the pretexts used to justify the invasion of Afghanistan even in 2001 even though Afghanistan had no direct involvement with 9/11. Yousafzai has nothing at all to say about the trillions of dollars that have been wasted in Afghaniatan for 20 years, and all the imperialistic savagery that has left hundreds of thousands dead, and another estimated 1 million Iraqis dead.
You are so sorry that you don't seem to even realize your complain seems to lie with what you moronically call "bourgeois governments" ... which is a meaningless stupid term.
You are just a hodgepodge of ignorance confusion, disinformation and hate.

Sorry you don't like hearing the truth. There is something fishy about the girl, you have to admit. You try to mock my eloquent words and fall back on tired cliches like "you live in your mother's basement because you know in your heart of hearts that I am correct. I do not worship golden idols.
This is the stupid person's stupid way to try to make the stupidest claim to authority by claiming the other person doesn't like hearing the truth. The rest of your comment goes far beyond stupid and into maliciousness.
climate change is progressing , nobody really doubts that now , except the kind of morons who wont even believe black and white facts like Trump losing the election , purely because "they dont like it"
Imagine that - your brain actually deciding what is fact and fiction based on what you like and dont like , rather than any sort of logical reasoning.
Also fossil fuels are choking our children
plastic is filling the seas and killing the fish
Fossil fuels are running out and we've done next to nothing to sort a replacement
oh , and the population is ballooning like a cancer
except the kind of morons who wont even believe black and white facts like Hillary losing the election , purely because "they dont like it"
fixed
anyways, my point is that people sit back and complain when in fact they are doing nothing, NYC just hosted the latest UN conference, over 100 Countries flew in to discuss climate change, how ridiculous is that?
what are the dems and hippies doing to solve it? what is Greta's plan? how are you going to get 7.5 billion people to care? a few people recycling is not going to make a difference.
no one is going to give up their luxurious life style for climate change, that includes democrats...
The sprawling estate came with a 3,314 square foot structure built in 1958, and in 2006, records show that a 2,400 square foot, 2-story structure was added. Inside the original structure, there are said to be 6 generously sized rooms that include 2 bedrooms. There are also two fireplaces and a pool in the backyard for entertaining guests.
She has served as a U.S. representative from California since 1987.
interesting, that California has fires every year, what has she done to stop it? oh nothing but blame Trump for not stopping climate change, really, its like these people are from a different universe.
but anyways, good luck stopping that climate change...
I agree with pretty much all you said ,
sumarised with
" how are you going to get 7.5 billion people to care?"
No ones claiming to have the answer to that , just that we must try to
a) work out what to do
b) get people to want to do it, or to realise they need to do it.
both are huuuge problems, i suspect B is the bigger one , but A is still one of the biggest challenges humanity has ever faced, our current lifestlye is entirerly funded by coal & Oil and renewables are no where near ready to pick up the slack
but i feel we have to try ...
maybe it'll extend our doomed civilisation by a generation or two if we make even a little effort.
nothing wrong with trying, but humans are causing our own problems, I wouldnt be surprised if we ended up causing our own demise and then a billion years later another human race evolved. we will stay on our current path until something really bad happens and then it will be a wake up call and too late by then.
nuclear is always an option, but unfortunately we haven't figure out a way to dispose of the waste and if something goes wrong then you have another Chernobyl.
honestly, I dont know what the answer is, maybe someday there will be someone to figure it out...

"she has a simple message we should all listen to"
Kids with limited life experience who throw temper tantrums often have a very simple message, and Greta is no different in having herself as the main focus. Her dire warnings about the end of human civilization are completely without scientific basis, even given the global warming. If the people clamoring about climate change the most loudly can't even be bothered to live what they preach, then they have no credibility and you shouldn't be surprised that they're not taken seriously by people with brains. China is far and away the biggest polluter on the planet, yet they aren't held to the same standards expected of the US and Europe in climate accords. That right there shows you the extent to which politics pollutes an issue that's supposedly grounded in science. If science and the drive to save humanity were the main forces at work here, then China would be shown no mercy in these negotiations. Hell, your dear leaders won't even hold China's feet to the fire for (possibly) unleashing covid on the world. If governments of Europe, the US, Russia, Japan, etc., don't even have the courage to tackle the origins of covid, whatever the political ramifications, then why would you trust that these governments have the best interests of the masses in mind regarding global warming? Greta Thunberg is a tool of specific political factions across the globe. Get woke.
He is right, you know. You do not get this type of media exposure unless the corporations/government want you to. Look at the worldwide censorship right now - every country has been turned into USSR and people don't know any better. The ministry of truth has captivated the world.
Now we have yet another nut who thinks all "the corporations" are monolithic and conspiring against us. That line of thinking is wrong, useless, insane and irrelevant. And, no he's not right you know. The ministry of noisy BS run by the Right-wing Republicans is what has plagued the world.
"Now we have yet another nut who thinks all "the corporations" are monolithic and conspiring against us."
You seem unable to read or listen to anything you don't want to hear. Corporations like Amazon, Nike, etc. jumped on the BLM, global warming, etc. bandwagons for the lone reason that they thought such a pose would be profitable in the long run. Nobody said anything about some collective corporate consciousness purposefully conspiring against "us."
? OK, you know what kind of rocks are in your head, so what? Geology is a soft degree that obviously did not prepare you for actual thoughtful scientific analysis or the ability to read and understand complex research and mathematics - or the nose in front of your face.
My dear friend, you overestimate them, when it comes to turds like TheArgentinian and Kendricks ..... getting cock will always be the most important thing for them. They are willing to die to get some more π π
My all time favorite is her pretentious "You have stolen my childhood and my dreams", while she grew up in among rich parents in one of the safest countries in the world never knowing any hardship whatsoever.
Never had to work a day in her life.
Never had to worry about a thing.
Never felt hunger or thirst.
Never felt fear because she has no roof over her head.
Lives in a home of elitist-parents with design-furniture costing 10.000 dollar a piece.
Yeah, Greta, sure these evil white men stole your childhood and your dreams...
