Greta Thunberg : Named Time’s youngest Person of the Year.

Well said @Fiachna50 and others - the hatred in her eyes is not good for her, she's still a child and needs guidance. This publicity is going to ruin her life if her parents continue to encourage her.

Her eyes?!

Yes. I wonder about her schooling. She obviously thinks it's worth it.

I think many of the XR youngsters intend to do that.

I find her rather precocious. There's something about her eyes. Btw, doesn't she attend school?

Yes. I hope so.

Well hopefully she will return to her studies, maybe get a degree in environmental science/renewable energies or suchlike.

Greta could then help to come up
with a credible plan to help slow down/halt climate change.

What is the plan? Well I should hope it is to get on and get rid of all oil burning stuff. You know - invest in finding ways and means.

Very well deserved, imo. If nothing else she's got us all talking about the issues, even those of us who think we're doing our bit, but could do better. She seems very committed and genuine to me.

Personally I cannot stand her. What is the plan after all the speeches and protests are over.

There will always be those who sneer and can’t believe that everyone is as shallow as they are and think no one can be sincere in their concern for the environment.

GagaJo so does this mean she is exempt from school and studying now? I can see people viewing it as someone just wanting to jump on a bandwagon and gain celebrity status.

Yes. I saw that. It's great. Well deserved.

Love it GagaJo , top marks ?

Exactly. I looked at an article about her with my 13 year old class today. Some mocked and I pointed out what GT was achieving, v them titting around in class.
