Such hate for a young woman whose major burden is idealism. And the ideal is the reduction of pollution to leave some sort of decent world for the generations to come.

Young Greta's burden is psychological brainwashing by her parents and teachers, she's an emotional train wreck.
Crying and whining constantly over something that is a complete scam.

The only thing that will leave "some sort of decent world for the generations to come" is Love.

Jackie DeShannon sang about that back in 65.
"What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
it's the only thing there's too little of . . . . ."

Truth is the most powerful weapon in the world,
and Love is the supreme Ethic.

Absent your first paragraph I would agree with the rest of your post.
Some feel that love for this fragile blue marble we all live on is valid and existential.
Dumping on young people for harmlessly lobbying for a better world for all of us seems mean spirited and pointlessly vindictive. But I guess you were never young much less idealistic.

You are no position to pass judgement on me.

I'm not dumping anything on Greta, but somebody sure did, and they created another totally distraught and thoroughly misguided teenager. The world certainly has an abundance of very troubled young people.
One need only consider that suicide is the second leading cause of death for children, adolescents, and young adults age 15-to-24-year-olds. Suicide among the young really took a jump during the Covid lockdowns. The psychological and emotional impact this had on our children and teens was enormous, and truly unforgivable.

The love of which I speak has nothing to do with loving the planet.

AGW alarmism is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the human race.

Even Christiana Figueres, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change admitted this isn't about climate change, but about the destruction of capitalism and redistribution of wealth, and she wasn't alone, other leaders of the UN panel said the same thing.

This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation.

I have never thought much of her...
Spoiled brat seeking attention via victimhood and finger pointing...

Cheers for those who actually engage in the war against pollution🥃🥃

The picture of her is an excellent example of her mind. I've seen only one picture of her smiling and the snarl on her is frightening but that is what the Left is all about; hatred, anger & contempt. And at such a young age, it is very sad.

Are you speaking as a Counsellor or psychologist of some kind? Looking at the tone of your bluster that is a dubious proposition. If you were such a person you would have to have interviewed or performed some kind of psych evaluation of Greta in person.
People get bent out of shape over critics of Trump denouncing him as deranged and psychotic etc. which in my view is an overreach for the same reason.

Harmlessly? If these neo-Luddites have their way, we'll be traveling by horse & buggy, but they might try to outlaw them too because of the horses' flatus.
