She is a victim of her parents and the leftist system using her youth to explain to the rest of us why we should take her seriously. She is last years news and cool item - ANTIFA and RIOTS are all the new rage now!

I thought that by now little disturbed greta would have ax-murdered her exploitive, abusive parents. It is only a matter of time. What pathetic leftist losers (all three of them).

How come only some white people are listened to especially a crybaby girl.

Mt Penatubo erupted releasing more greenhouse gases than the whole industrial revolution. The largest CO2 sink are the world oceans. Forget the facts and use emotions only.

I had forgotten all about this pathetic child. She’s desperate to be in the limelight again.

Carbon dioxide gas comprises .02% of the earths atmosphere. Big deal. And if these climate warriors want to save the planet they should all commit suicide.

OMG!

That must be the reason the lawns/yards/pastures in my area are still green -- in August -- instead of the typical dried-up brown.

And summer temps have been unseasonably lower -- in the 80s and low 90s, instead of the lower 100s.

Yet, dingbats seem to proliferate.

At this rate, we’ll all be dead by 2006.

Reducing the worlds fossil fuel consumption by 40% because of covid-19 travel restrictions was not enough?

It's a shame she's not black. She would've been a perfect Democrat nominee for Vice President.

How's that?

Oh they would have adjusted the narrative...rearranged history...whatever...

If Greta would stop whining and cease to exhale her own CO2 the world would be a better place.

Once saw a documentary on the Himalayas. The range is still uplifting, maybe an inch or two a year.

As it does, it exposes fresh material that just loves to bond with CO2.

That inch or so of material circles the base of a mountain range add up to quite an enormous area for carbon storage...

And it still doesn’t help the dingbat problem.

When it becomes 8 or 10 years, and things are still the same, will you get a dose of honesty and realize that your parents manipulated and used you as a prop? I hope you do, and finally settle down and seek happiness in this great world that God provided for you.

The mass of Earth’s atmosphere is appr. 5 x 10^15 tonnes.

80 bn tonnes is an increase of 0.000016. Not losing any sleep over this...

(But, again, it is interesting to note that these people always choose the representation that sounds most dramatic. 80 bn tonnes! Sounds like really much to most folks (0.000016, not so much). OTOH, relative numbers are used when the absolute values are wholly unimpressive. E.g., a change of 100% (gasp!) can in reality be a laughably low absolute change.)

America alone among industrialized countries has cut its emissions significantly.

Scold those lazy Yurps into doing their part Greta! Earth Mother Gaia demands it.

“But over these last two years, the world has also emitted over 80bn tonnes of CO2.”

I thought it would drop as all the mask wearers are breathing their own CO2.

Oh, I get it - Factory CO2 bad, human CO2 good.

In a just world, her parents would be hung by the neck until dead for child abuse, and she would be sent to a conservative Catholic school for de-programming. And I’m not even a Catholic.
