I can't believe she is literally the first person to ever talk about climate change. Maybe the liberals can find someone besides a child to take advantage of if they want us to take their fake news agenda seriously.

This is literally the only instance Time Magazine is ever brought up each year, and it's always met with ridicule or apathy.

Talk about irrelevance.

Yeah she's been vocal about this. She's not interested in awards or stuff like this. She wants people to stop fucking around and take climate change seriously. Instead of doing that, they're like OH GRETA YOU'RE AMAZING and she's like shut up with the praise and start doing stuff you hypocrites

What has she done? Because China and India are still destroying the environment and we've been moving away from coal and onto renewable energy in the west long before her.

She's basically made herself the face of the movement and done a ton to inspire the generation that's going to have to deal with the fallout of the issues, as well as being the first truly positive face of the movement.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greta_Thunberg

Thunberg has stated four interwoven themes: that humanity is facing an existential crisis[60] due to climate change, that the current generation of adults is responsible for climate change,[61][62]

Thx alot boomers.

Tbh, how does she afford to travel everywhere like this?

Of course she is.

It shows that environmental activists like her are more interested in pushing for their special interest groups in the renewable power industry and promoting social justice on an economic scale than actually reducing carbon emissions to stop global catastrophe.

Is there any data showing her speech had any actually effect? If it actually made change happen, I guess it fits, but its dumb if she had no impact beyond making people salty.

It's had a clearly visible effect on news reporting, which is what these are based on.

The results of the 2016 election should have made it clear that gauging the effects on the people via MSM news reporting is the worst way to go about doing so.

They aren't measuring the effect on people, they're measuring the effect on the news. That's why Hitler was person of the year in 38.

Same with Obama and his Nobel Peace Prize too. He probably ordered a drone strike hours before accepting the award but he promoted the idea of peace on TV.

That makes no sense. News outlets report what they want and twist stories how they want. They set their own agenda.
