Demanding Climate Change Mitigation
It’s kind of amusing to see that some conservatives take issue with Greta Thunberg.
It’s hard to imagine how anyone can object to a young person’s demanding that her generation be given an opportunity for a life on a planet that isn’t pervaded by human suffering brought on by the collapse of the environment. I have to think that her detractors are simply embarrassed that a 16-year-old girl has shone a light on how poorly they are behaving.
Craig,
It’s neither amusing, nor “poor behaviour” to be appalled at the cynicism of leftist advocates who are exploiting the faux “celebrity” status of a precocious young child’s displays of exhibitionist conduct.
Greta Thunberg is a victim, not an oracle! Her precocious outbursts parrot the worst of the emotive narrative pursued by the political Green/left.
Instead of saying, “Aw how cute” her parents should have sent her to her room, and disciplined her for playing truant from school.
Sadly, this is just another symptom of the leftist takeover of environmental issues to disguise an old fashioned socialist agenda.
The left are incapable of rational debate. They fear any objective scrutiny as the bankruptcy of their agenda is immediately exposed.
Instead, they resort to these sorts emotive stunts to distract from any real analysis.
