"Perhaps a better question is this: What kind of parents, editors, producers or U.N. officials would thrust a vulnerable child, with Asperger syndrome, no less, into a complex and contentious debate?"

Irresponsible and short-sighted

Her parents should be locked up for child abuse.

Good article. It really all comes down to bad parenting.

Shouldn’t this teenager (like MOST teenage girls) be worried about what to wear to the prom?

In a just world, she would be in school with her friends and teachers.

The real story here is that Time Magazine has long been a worthless rag as unimportant and laughable as the NYT and every other propaganda outlet of the lefty universe, and their “major award” is as uesless as the Pulitzer Prize, the Nobel Prize, and every other sticker the left doles out, like acting and music awards of all kinds. It is literally true that everything the left touches turns to schitt.

Greta is merely repeating “unassailable science,” Time claims. “Oceans will rise. Cities will flood. “

NONE of the hard and sure alarmist predictions these people have made over four decades has come to pass. None. Not one. Ever. How the hell is it possible that anyone listens to them?

Remember when you were a kid and were terrified of the monster in the basement or the attic or the closet? See, these climate predictions are exactly that, not something you can put your arms around or even feel but something that in you adolescent mind is there nonetheless. We have a world of people now who are mature physically but have not developed mental maturity, that which allows them to rationalize what is real and what is not. Climate change, yeah right, it has been going on since the planet was born. Obvious to anyone who can rationalize, there were glaciers thousands of feet deep in the upper mid west 20000 years ago, they are gone now. They came on during a climate cooling and left with a climate warming. Now ask these dimwits this: was it better to have lived 20000 years ago or now? Or better phrased, how many would be sustained on this planet were it an ice ball?? The day I listen to a 16yo fantasy like this current day Joan of Arc, will be, well, never.

She doesn’t even realize she was being used. I wonder how many orders the “no footprint” sailboat got out of this since that was certainly the object of their “generosity”.

The ADHD generation is to blame for the mass hysteria and no amount of pharmaceuticals will solve their issues.

Or as I like to say, if she's the answer then the question was stupid.

The LEFT is ever willing to go to the extremes (and YES, Time Magazine is LEFT and has its founder, Henry Luce, spinning at many thousands of RPMs in his grave!) Just like the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize to a unproven Obama, this ‘award’ to a mid-teen child serves more to push the LEFT than to serve the facts.
