What makes her qualified to comment on global warming? Is she somehow more educated on it that the average layman?
And why isn't she in India or China where pollution seems to be much more of a problem?
I admit I don't keep up with yelling children but it all seems pretty hokey to me. She seems to be a pawn for some kind of political nonsense.
She was “yelling” at the United Nations, so she was talking to India and China. The US and Europe also do a lot of shopping their trash to Asia for processing there, which they can’t handle. China manufactures tons of shit, but the West buys tons of shit. We need legislation.

Scientists tell y’all the earth is dying, you don’t believe them
A young person tells you the earth is dying, you tell them they’re not scientists so they shouldn’t be listened to
Just admit you don’t want to make an effort for a cleaner future lol
He literally didn't say he doesn't believe in global warming? Which, fyi, isn't even the term they use anymore - it's climate change now. He technically didn't even say she SHOULDN'T be listened to. He asked what qualifications she has. Why should anyone listen to her over any of the other people who have put in probably more time, more effort, and have better understanding of the subject at hand?

I'll note that neither of the responses here, while giving a lot of opinion, actually ever answered that specific question.

Given I have no idea who the hell she is, and that it's very unusual for anyone that young to ever warrant a spot on the world stage, I'd certainly like to know why the leaders of our world are being asked to devote time to listen to her over literally any of the other millions of people wanting the same attention.

Being angry about climate change isn't really a unique feature so I assume there must be more going on.
It just seems wrong somehow to put a child into a political/scientific melee. I was wondering if anyone had insight as to why she would be tapped as the voice of climate change outrage...but please, don't let me stop you from jumping to conclusions.
Thank you @xvarnah for a rational post.
The problem with Greta is her nativity. She will fall for trick solutions, such as carbon tax. These solutions will do more harm in the long run. With enough of a following, her decisions become a group decision. That decision may not be in true favor of improving how companies interact with the environment. It’s not always that people don’t like her because she’s a kid yelling about climate change, it’s because she could ultimately make an ill-informed decision by manipulative conglomerates. People will follow her. That kind of innocence with something world-altering is absolutely dangerous. That’s why she shouldn’t be a leader for change, but rather, an inspiration for a cohesive movement by many respected and trusted peoples out to make the world a better place for us all. It’s unwise to follow a child into battle.
