Greta Thunberg Is the Climate Heroine We Need (Barf Alert w/info)

ROME–When Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg was 11 years old, her body had started to shut down due to severe self-starvation tied to debilitating depression. She spoke to almost no one but her immediate family. She was afraid of crowds. She was lost in her own world, and the world very nearly lost her.

But thanks to the formal diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome coupled with high-functioning autism and obsessive compulsive disorder, the now-16-year-old Swede has become quite literally the poster child for the generation that will have to deal with the destruction of our planet. Once she started receiving multifaceted treatment, Thunberg was able to channel her anxiety into something we should all be concerned about: the health of the planet and the science behind apocalyptic warnings of its demise.

“You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear, you’ve got to be taught from year to year, it’s got to be drummed in your dear little ears, you’ve got to be carefully taught” and that’s what Greta’s puppet masters did. Those ghoulish scumbags must be so proud of the little monster they created.

Once again, the Left wants it both ways. She’s old and “with it” enough to be a heroine, but don’t you dare criticize her, because doing so would just be picking on a young, disabled girl. BS. At least Trump doesn’t hold back.

Next up, she will be encouraging children to turn in parents who set their thermostats a degree above or below the regulated amounts. Childestapo.

Catholic Missionaries Compare Greta Thunberg to Virgin Mary

The Maryknoll missionaries have thrown their support behind 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg, comparing her to the Virgin Mary.

“Christians getting their knickers all in a twist over the passionate, articulate & knowledgeable witness of Greta Thunberg because of her age seem to overlook the age of the Virgin Mary at the time of the Annunciation,” the group wrote on Twitter.

“Young women can & have changed the world,” they concluded.

She appears to have Asperger’s and/or high functioning autism.

But neither is a mental illness, and they don’t mean a low IQ or emotional problems either.

If she was reciting emotional speeches for a high school stage play no one would be in an uproar about child abuse or claiming that she is being exploited. They’d see her for what she is, a teenage girl on the ASD spectrum who has good acting chops.

She just happens to be a teenage actress who belongs to the current favorite religion of the Left, the global warming religion.

Mentally fit children don't starve themselves to near death.

Greta “Hogg” Thornberg is being used by Leftist adults and using the adults to get out of school.

She is nutty.

More amazing leftist hypocrisy

The people who shout “believe the science!” and “science is real!”

want to push forward an autistic child to be lodestone for highly complex climate science, and planning and reorganization of the $$$ Trillions energy sector.

GROSS POLLUTER CHINA is okay with Greta, and not included in her lawsuit of climate violator countries presented to the UN?

That pretty much tells us WHO Grumpy Greta's PUPPET MASTER is, eh?

“Mentally fit children don’t starve themselves to near death.”

And you know that happened how, exactly?

Because Team Greta told you. Congratulations on swallowing their propaganda.
