I think it will dawn on people way too late that the changes the earth is going are natural and that no matter how much we destroy and how freedom we surrender to the power elites in society to dictate how we will live, the world will do what it will do.
And when we are all living a bare subsistence level existence and plug ignorant again and blaming harsh winters on Old Widow Hankins the village Witch, we'll be too stupid to realize that we've been played by the gods in their cities on the hill.

I think she relishes in it to a certain degree, also.
To her, this is her 15 minutes. She's loving it. No matter the cause, reason or intent, she's a superstar now.

Most teenagers DO relish the attention- when it's GOOD attention, but now the opposition is coming out full force against her, and they are not just attacking with facts but making PERSONAL attacks. As I mentioned teens are very emotional creatures- but they have not matured enough to HANDLE their emotions. And what happens when a hormonal and emotional teen are being consistently attacked? Mental breakdown and /or suicidal behavior, because teens don't play the LONG GAME like adults- there is only NOW in their minds. The adults that are using her are well aware of this but do not care so long as she is serving their purpose.

Tell me - what does a 16 yr old know about anything
Greta has no idea, no credibility, no life experience, no environmental training and definitely no right to be taken so seriously.
My tested IQ puts me around the 99.7% percentile of the human intelligence range, which means that only about 0.3% of people in the world would score at or above my level. When I was her age, I was already significantly more intelligent than the average adult.

Personally I find it a bit embarrassing that some people need schooled on climate change by teenagers...
