Does she have a list of of demands? A manifesto? Any kind of spec? Up to now all she seems to do is give the world a rollicking! has she ever heard of the carrot and stick approach?

All she seems to do is rant and rave, as in this clip, like an over-emotional pouty teenager having a hissy-fit overly-dramatic tantrum with mummy.

too much CO2 and other emissions like vitriol and Nitrous oxides being spent on this, not withstanding the particulates.

[bodeker]

I just felt very uncomfortable watching her, feel the poor girl is heading for a breakdown at some point in the future. She has had too much put on her shoulders for her age.

[cashier]

She put it on her shoulders.

[Gromit]

She just wants us to adhere to the targets (on greenhouse gas emissions) that we have already agreed to, but are failing miserably to stick to.

Seems fair enough.

If we say we will do something, and then don’t, we not only look foolish, we are foolish.

[Spicerack]

'She' wants stupid people to fill the coffers of her sponsors.
Like the escaped lunatics in Brighton today who promised to spend over a £1,000 billion on climate emergency measures.
After a standing ovation for the heroes of....... Extinction Rebellion.
How thick would somebody have to be to vote for those cretins?

[ToraToraTora]

plenty on here spicey!

[Gromit]

Spicey,
Labour hasn’t commit to spending £1000 Billion (is that a £Trillion?). It has committed to emitting Zero Emissions, which is something the Conservatives have already agreed to also.

Bodeker, I tend to agree with your comment at 2029; that clip, to me, is showing a very emotionally distraught individual, and I would like to know who is behind this exercise...Who is pushing her? The stress must be unbearable.

[bednobs]

why 'she' in inverted commas? Is there some doubt?

[gulliver1]

When I First saw her ranting and raving, I thought it was a recruiting advert for the young Consevatives.

[cassa333]

And as an Aspie she has seriously thought about this and her opinion is right and unless we all agree with her we are wrong and the problem. Lol

TBH I think (and I don’t usually care Who poster girls or boys or even non binaries are) in this case the climate change lobby are using a young girl who although very articulate is still young and on the autistic spectrum.

I appreciate everyone is different but my own 15yr old Aspie has the emotional stability of a demented two year old monkey on crack. Very highly intelligent and analytical but ......

I applaud her and at her age her ability to engage with the world around her. She has found something to obsess over (which is a trait of Aspies). But at the back of my mind is still the thought that she is being taken advantage of.

[Spicerack]

Maybe I dreamt it, gromit.

[Atheist]

I think that old men who insult a young woman with ideals are rather pathetic. Were you ever young? Were you ever happy? Did you ever have thoughts and dreams and ideals about the world you were growing up in?

[agchristie]

//has she ever heard of the carrot and stick approach?//

Sort of. She gives plenty of stick but no carrot. She's a swede.

[sanmac]

I'm starting to think that, because of her mental condition, this pushing her to do what she is doing is some form of child-abuse...I feel sorry for her.

[shoota]

Lol Ag :-)

[ToraToraTora]

so what are her parents doing to protect her from all this?

[sanmac]

Perhaps they are the ring-masters of the entire show.

[shoota]

Hitching a ride on the gravy train...
