Why is it agree with her or hate her? Why can’t she just be inexperienced, and shouldn’t be influencing millions of voters in a way that’s clearly being manipulated by corporations that are offering false solutions to shut people up? She certainly should be an inspiration, but there are far better, more experienced people that should be leading and influencing voters. False solutions such as carbon tax aren’t the answer. I can criticize Greta without being against planetary improvement. It is possible, or can people just think one of two ways? I apologize, it’s just incredibly infuriating to only see two sides cutting each others’ throats when there are other perspectives.
Clearly there's only two options: either you support this random girl or you don't believe in climate change and hate all young people and think they should have their lips sewn shut (or something).

In seriousness, I'm not sure why you're apologizing. You gave a polite, concise opinion. And it's technically a middle-ground opinion rather than on any particular side. If someone gets offended after THAT, I doubt you should be the one apologizing.
As long as you stand your ground (middle or otherwise) it's a lot harder for them to take it from you. You gave your reasons.

Someone screaming "I'm offended" at you doesn't make you wrong or mean you owe them anything - including an apology. And this is coming from a Canadian -- you KNOW how much joy we take in apologizing for everything.
There ARE experienced adults with solutions, she’s just the one that receives the attention. Also, we aren’t laughing at her. Idk where you saw that (unless, you are referring to the general reaction, and not our responses).
I agree we need change , but the placing blame on the individual and wishing for their death is not the way to go about it.Global warming is largely caused by big business, what can a homeless person or someone living paycheck to paycheck really do to stop that. She has no right to wish death on anyone it makes her comes off as ill informed and childish.
China and india are the biggest polluters on the planet by a huge margin. All of these "climate change" people only ever bitch about white countries. They want white countries to neuter their own economic output, but dont even seem to think about other countries. And that's assuming that it isn't bullshit to begin with, which I'm inclined to believe since they change their story every decade or so.
Right, and then the individual is blamed, while 90%+ of total pollution is from corporations. Lobbyists get together to pay actors to protest for trivial recycling habits of the individual that aren’t equative to even .01% of total pollution. Then, the media outlets are paid to report on these protests over actual activism against corporations. This is why there are trivial pursuits such as straw bans (which isn’t inherently bad) over new anti-pollution laws. The system is rigged to fuck us over.
i understand her message, but not the way she delivered it. Overly emotional, came yacht, not much to do except learn her speech, yet she didn't do that. To me, there's something off about her, not genuine.
I keep repeating this but again, she has Asperger's she is not going to totally behave like the rest of us and when they invest in something they do it literally 100% of course she would seem overly emotional
came by yacht, not plane, because it was greener, though alot that came with her returned by plane anyway, so the carbon footprint is the same or worse.
