I dont believe anyone is focusing on her medical condition? She draws attention to it herself, as do her family.

Her mother seems ambivalent about the whole thing. She has taken several lawsuits against people she deems to have exploited her daughter.

And by the way anyone bullying her or making jokes on twitter etc THAT isn't on.

I certainly don't correct. I know I wouldn't take a 16 yr old with Asperger's who only recovered from anorexia and self harm a few years ago alone with no doctor.

Your posts are pure nonsense. You have absolutely know clue or knowledge on any thread you post in.

Do you read what you type?.

None of the posters care about her health. They dislike her message. None of them have experience or knowledge of yachting across the Atlantic.

It's transparent

I don't believe any of the posters here have said they dislike her message?
She is talking about climate change, I don't need a child to tell me about climate change & I really don't see how world governments could possibly need a child to tell them something we all know.
Lots of children have opinions on lots of topics, it's just strange how this one has been pushed into the world's spotlight.

They clearly do have issues with the message. This already been relayed to you.

I love her message.

I feel protective over her though.

Not true. Most schools in Dublin have been doing them for years before all this.

Why do you lie?

It's true several schools did it mine did. It was only a half day though.

They did something in the 80s too. Not sure it was climate change but something to do with the environment.

Tell me how

Again, the same people arguing a toss with those defending her are completely ignoring the post in this thread which hoped for another Titanic.

They show faux-concern about this being a child but couldn't give a flying f*ck about a post wishing harm on said child.

She has several pr companies behind her who are now in control more than her family is.

When she turns 18 it will be a nightmare.

Blame the adults its not Greta's fault.

I am blaming the adults involved, because they are ultimately responsible for the child’s welfare. I haven’t once said the child is responsible for her actions, because I don’t believe she is. It’s her parents and the adults who are using her as the poster child for their campaign who I hold responsible. I don’t support their campaign because they’re putting the responsibility on a child to promote their beliefs.

I see nothing wrong with the child sharing their beliefs, children generally do share the beliefs of the people who are influential in their lives. The adults in this child’s life are taking advantage of the child to promote their beliefs, instead of simply saying to the child that she can cross the Atlantic and attend UN conferences when she is an adult herself, and in the meantime they will represent her views to other adults.

Don't care, if I wished cancer on a member and followed it up with 'LOL jk' I'd be banned for trolling and being abusive.

Joke or not, it's a horrible, scummy thing to say about a child.

So students of several schools in the Dublin have been holding regular weekly school strikes in front of government buildings and public places to highlight government inactivity on climate change mitigation and adaptation with particular focus on said governments refusal to listen to the scientific community?


Riiiiiight. That's not disingenuous at all.

No and they are not doing that now.

Yearly they did and have been for decades though.

There was the march 15 one here. They are not doing it every week though. they just do the yearly global ones.

As much as some might refuse to accept it, climate change is more of a fact than a "belief"

Everyone in Ireland accepts climate change is a fact. Except the healy raes. And they are nuts.

Ahh TMH come on now, of course I owned it earlier? There wouldn’t have needed to be an extended version if you had actually listened in the first place instead of berating me for not listening to a child.

Climate change is of course a scientific fact, but it’s the adult campaigners personal, social, environmental and political beliefs I was referring to.

It's creepy and odd how a little girl, regardless of who might be in the wings, sailing to highlight climate change is getting so much hate. Years ago, before all the ALT-Right and Trump folk start getting brave we would have had a few saying 'fair play to her' and the odd crank giving out, but this is just creepy IMO.

I'm not 'alt right ' or a Trump fan, in fact I think I'm a little left leaning.
I think it's creepy & odd how many people are putting stock into what a little girl says.
It's weird to me.

This is exactly the kind of shìte I’m talking about. I’m concerned about how it will play out purely for the welfare of the child involved. Campaigners are having to up the ante and every publicity stunt has to be greater than the last one.
