Greta Thunberg is freaking me out.

Greta Thunberg is really freaking me out. I agree with some of what she says like "Fossil fuels should be banned by 2030" and "Meat and dairy should be banned". But only half of what she says is directly related to global warming; the rest of it is her bullying people, calling people names like "Spastic", "Wimp" and "Weak'o" and saying stuff like "I want you to panic", "I hope your house burns down" and "You must do exactly as I say". She is basically a mean girl with heckloads of power. Millions of kind young people are supporting this nasty girl and her protests are in 2,000 cities in 120 countries. And then she says stuff like "Stop road-building" and "Destroy airports" which makes me angry. Why does it have to be her? Why couldn't it be another, nicer person? Why couldn't you just ditch her and set up your own group when you discovered she was so horrid?

  • Her view is somewhat black-and-white, certainly, especially around airports. On that matter I don't want my wings clipped, admittedly for somewhat selfish reasons, I would like the option to fly to remain. 

    We need to keep finding alternatives to fossil fuels and developing solar planes. There is so much we can do to create more sustainable world other than just being sanctimonious and perhaps that is something Thunberg or her followers, will need to do in order not to just turn new potential environmentalists off, with their preaching. 

    Who can honestly say back to this paragon that she isn't right though?

    Popularist like Trump, Boldonsro and Pompeo still back unsustainable capitalism and deny what is surely obvious to anyone who is frying right now in India (over 50 degrees and climbing currently), that ours and every other animal that did not contribute to this has a gut full of plastic while the seas are getting clogged with country-wide swills of plastic. 

    No one likes a high-minded paragon who is brutal with her words but the thing is, she's still right, isn't she. I often think, there is something deeply wrong with our lovely species, which is driving all other animals into mass extinction and don't seem to care much. We don't seem to see the consequences of our actions, we are like children in many ways. But that might be due to having grown up with the ultimate big sword over our heads, and which is still there as a lunatic has his fingers on the button - the Bomb.

    I am sure Thunsberg capitalises on the irony of that, by dressing like a 12-year-old. I wonder if she will continue to do that eighteen months hence, when she will be legally adult.
