This is what Greta Thunberg has said since day one. Again and again. So to suggest that she is trying to replace "adult professionals" is simply not true. Also to pretend that the jury is still out on whether her actions have had any effect is again a bit daft when literally millions of people all over the world joined her in her 'klimate strike'.

And no I am not accusing you of being a climate change denier Titofan or of "having no respect for adult professionals", but there are many here who do not, and worse still, wear it as a badge of honour. And they are the most vocal, the dominant voices in the room.

The fact is the USA is the all time biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in the history of this planet. No other nation comes anywhere near it. FACT.

So the thread opener suggesting that somehow it is the responsibility of a 16yr old to ignore that fact and travel to India to satisfy his own virtue signalling faux French bullshit outrage is stupid.

Tear her down (not you), slag her off, mock her, whatever, but for Le Blockbuster to pretend that she needs to travel to India (because that is more edgy) to impress him is pathetic.

There has long been a movement here to pretend that the brave thing to do is to attack anyone or anything that is unusual, unconventional, non traditional, foreign, etc and that is not something to mistake as a positive.

This board sits on a server thanks to a Brit living in Germany and yet it has until very recently had to put up with someone who once threatened to sue it, pretending that Brits should still be hostile toward Germans as though that was a patriotic attribute.

Common sense has been hijacked by the Jack asses like your President and his council of fools. If it had not been maybe kids would not find themselves thousands of miles from home grimacing in genuine distress at how useless many of the responsible adults are.
Personal attack.
