I liked Severn Cullis-Suzuki the Canadian environmental activist more, she wasn’t as scathing when she said the same thing back in 1992

Exactly who is this nasty little person?

Imagine putting a child obviously influenced by adults and obviously with autism issues on the stage . A very cruel way for a child to live through their childhood

Kerri O’brian argues that the CC science is in. What’s in is the fact that GHG emissions have increased and will continue to do so without world intervention. What’s not in is the magnitude of the effects. Australia would be stupid to blindly shut down our engines of growth now.

I hope the horse and cart she rides home makes it all the way. You wonder why so many young commit suicide,the sky is falling the sky is falling,take a break kid it will be around long after you and I are gone.

getting aggressive automatically says ' your wrong and stupid'

Nobody WENT TO HER as she claims. She has no answers .....

Excellent Speech from the Young Lady

Ghastly child

Why doesn't she go to China, India and Africa and. Spread her message

After her ageist attack on me, this coward then blocks and runs

Wonder if she understands people have been dying all my life, and well before, from human activity, from drought, from starvation? Or that the rates have FALLEN over my lifetime? DESPITE what she says! Thunberg drama lessons. Wake up to illusion!

poor kid needs help. those adults should be locked up.

Who cares what she thinks

This little girl is getting paid behind the scenes from all these so called activists...managed by her parents...I think its time for her to go and play with her toys and barbie doll...

The sheer amount of people that sneer at this girl is disgusting like clean air and water is such an objectionable thing for a young person to want.

Echo ... ‘my way is the only way !! Never forgive - how sad to put that signature on one’s soul. Childish behaviour at best. Who is really manipulating this puppet ?

Someone should call child services. This is getting out of hand

The extremely sad thing is that the same sentiment was expressed in 1992. And almost no action has been done.

Would she sail back home or catch a private jet?

She’s farked 🤦🏻‍♀️

I saw US FoxNews say she is only listen 2 because she sells fear! Wow! A 16 year old girl without connections has United the world in trying to help the existence of every one on the planet and those yet to come sells fear! What is it that “they” are scared of? That she is right!

I'm OK with her not forgiving me. I just wonder if she will be able to forgive those who are using her for their own political endeavours. Once she becomes self aware.

Greta is a loony

I think this spoilt brat had her childhood taken away by her parents long ago....

Go to bed Jessica

Climate Hoax

😂

Seriously disturbed child . Perfect for the climate alarmists to hide behind .

Where are her parents

She has issues, why is she being lauded?

What’s funny is that little brat kids say those dumb comments all the time. What’s funnier, is that adults script her speeches.....

The real danger is that this type of inflamed, unsubtle rhetoric will drive an even wider wedge between generations. Moreover, it may even come to violence.
