Still don't get why this sixteen year old girl appears to be so hated? I read charges of hypocrisy against her, but is that enough to explain her vilification by some?
I certainly don't hate her. I've never met her.
Some people can see that a child is being exploited in this campaign. I'm not sure it's a good idea putting a young girl through this crossing.
It has become a media circus now.
I will certainly admit one thing... She is a very clever and beautifully spoken young girl and I imagine she will have a lifetime career in politics. Her command of English leaves many British children of her age adrift.
She's become (partly by being in the right place at the right time as another poster said ) the face of a movement of growing awareness and urgency, and has taken to that role impressively and eloquently.
She's not rude, arrogant or insulting in any way. Her crimes apparently are being young, autistic and a girl. Why those are considered negatives says a lot about the people attacking her and nothing about her. It's as simple as that really.
Why does that matter? Surely if she’s given someone a kick up the arse that’s a good thing.
Also her point isn’t just focussed on individuals doing their bit is it? It’s on governments making changes so the huge companies who are causing the majority of climate change are limited in what they can do.
A young confident woman who has a message that continues to be proved right.
They are absolutely pants-wetting terrified of the generation she represents and it's hilarious to see the procession of old white men falling over themselves to show it on an almost weekly basis.
Basically alwaysaway flies to every cardiff game and feels like it’s a direct go at him. When it isn’t at all but he reacts angrily about it because of perceived guilt.
I'm still waiting to hear more about the decorative Turkish Fender Jazz.
Timmy Mallett was enthusiastic in a bonkers way. She's not.
Nah, I'm not provoked. But it looks like the OP in this thread was

If your sassy take on Greta Thunberg is that she’s unlikable, wait till you find out what everyone thinks about you.

One other thing to consider is that it looks increasingly likely that we are close to the end of the climate change denial game. Just like with big tobacco there is a limited period where the 'evidence is inconclusive, it's a myth, our own studies show etc.' excuses work. With tobacco it was when people saw their own families dying of cancer that they abandoned that line . With climate we are actually seeing the changes now (Australia in permanent drought, artic melting, weird summers etc) and public tolerance of denial seems to be shifting with things like Extinction Rebellion and this topic.
To borrow a phrase that Warnock could have written himself: what do you do when you aren't good enough to play the ball? You try to play the player instead.
