She is as intelligent and mentally sound as she is beautiful.

Sixteen-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg is rejecting the criticism she's receiving from "grown-ups" who she says should instead spend their time "acting on the science" that shows the environment is in serious danger.
Thunberg, a Swedish native, addressed the flak while visiting Canada on Friday as part of her multination tour to draw attention to the climate crisis.
“That we should take as compliment that we are having so much impact that people want to silence us,” Thunberg said at a Montreal rally, as reported by The Associated Press. “We’ve become too loud for people to handle, so people want to silence us.”
Following her appearance at the United Nations General Assembly earlier in the week, Thunberg was the subject of aggressive criticism online and in conservative media, with Fox News personalities comparing her to the "Children of the Corn" and calling her "mentally ill."
President Trump poked fun at her on Twitter on Tuesday, posting a video of one of her more dire warnings with the message "She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!"
Thunberg replied Friday, saying that she didn't get "why grown-ups would choose to mock children and teenagers for just communicating and acting on the science when they could do something good instead.”
In addition to the Canadian event Thunberg attended Friday, countless other climate rallies were held around the world. These rallies come a week after the Global Climate Strike that saw more than 4 million people around the world protest.
As part of her trip to Montreal, Thunberg sat down with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was also present at the city's demonstration.
“She is the voice of a generation, of young people who are calling on their leaders to do more and do better,” Trudeau said. “And I am listening.”
As with other world leaders with whom she has met, Thunberg said Trudeau isn't going far enough to address the rapidly warming planet.
“He is of course obviously not doing enough, but this is just a huge problem, this is a system that is wrong,” Thunberg said. “My message to all the politicians is the same: Just listen and act on the science.”
We can’t act on fairy tales ..
“He is of course obviously not doing enough, but this is just a huge problem, this is a system that is wrong,” Thunberg said. “My message to all the politicians is the same: Just listen and act on the science.”
She’s saying this about Justin Trudeau, who is on her side? He’s on her side, and her dismissive one liner that “obviously he’s not doing enough” , is her way of winning friends and influencing people to her cause?
Please Greta, as a child actor, you can explain the actual theories to me right?
She is as intelligent and mentally sound as she is beautiful.
She’ll carry these delusions until the day they completey overwhelm her and she hangs herself in the closet
I am impressed she swam all the way back to Sweden in just a few days, since she refuses to fly in a plane.
Greta Thunberg: I don't understand why 'grown-ups' mock 'BAD acting on the science'
She is a cross between Veruca Salt and Lavrenty Beria.
want her to shut up?
why?
when I am having such a good time making fun of her stupidity !
ROFL
“choose to mock children”
Children should be seen and not heard.
Well, a few back I heard on the radio a young activist from the Girl Scouts who claimed that using gasoline lawn mowers for one grass-cutting season puts out as much carbon emissions as all the cars running for a whole year. She presented that as science too, but I have a hard time believing that.
“Quit the cult girl and go back to being a little girl in school.”
Someone get her a t-shirt that reads “Everything I need to know about climate science, I learned in kindergarten!”
You don’t understand, no school for Greta, her childhood has been stolen!
We could fill the universe with what SHE doesn’t understand!!
And I thought those kids rambling on about guns were attention hogs.
Does she fly in an airplane? Those things use combustion, you know!
When she came to America, she and her minions made a big deal of how she traveled in an allegedly carbon neutral yacht/sailboat vehicle.
Of course that’s just a publicity stunt, but she supposedly refuses to fly on a plane because of her enviro nazi beliefs.
She has traveled around Europe by train. A train uses evil fossil fuels, so not sure how she can justify that.
Key word being “acting.”
