Greta Thunberg on the climate for the Ides of March

[neonvincent]

I celebrated today's dreadful day at Crazy Eddie's Motie News by posting Youth Climate Strike on the Ides of March. One name kept coming up, Greta Thunberg. Here she is giving a TED talk.

"School strike for climate - save the world by changing the rules | Greta Thunberg | TEDxStockholm" (Watch on YouTube)

Greta Thunberg realized at a young age the lapse in what several climate experts were saying and in the actions that were being taken in society. The difference was so drastic in her opinion that she decided to take matters into her own hands. Greta is a 15-year-old Stockholm native who lives at home with her parents and sister Beata. She’s a 9th grader in Stockholm who enjoys spending her spare time riding Icelandic horses, spending time with her families two dogs, Moses and Roxy. She love animals and has a passion for books and science. At a young age, she became interested in the environment and convinced her family to adopt a sustainable lifestyle. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

I have to say, that Greta person just pisses me off. Not as much as the attention she is getting, no; but still.

My response to her is to compare her to Pippi Longstocking, which is an easy one because of her nationality and twin pigtails. I don't suppose that kind of gentle mocking would be sufficient for you.

It's a start.
