There was a young Greta from Sweden

Who wanted a global Garden of Eden.

When asked with demur,

Why we should listen to her,

She replied €œI can think of no reason€�.

--
€œPeople believe certain stories because everyone important tells them,
and people tell those stories because everyone important believes them.
Indeed, when a conventional wisdom is at its fullest strength, ones
agreement with that conventional wisdom becomes almost a litmus test of
ones suitability to be taken seriously.€�

That is simply awful verse. It doesn't scan, and it doesn't rhyme. It
expresses no worthwhile sentiment.

And, apart from that lack of any literary merit whatsoever, global
warming is a really serious issue, but some people seem to think it will
go away if they attack the messenger. Cheap.

Attacking a 16 year-old girl is just nasty bullying.

If you choose to bury your head in the sand that's up to you. By why do
you try to spread your idiocy around? Somebody might even be taken in.

Greta and her supporters, like all the rent a mob protesters, are the
bullies. If you need proof, look at the events in the US where people in
the US were attacked for refusing to raise their fists to support the BLM
rioters.

Radio Man is a mass murderer. If you want proof, look at someone else
doing something different somewhere else.

That is the reason the public & press are not more derisive of her message. Take away the age thing & she wouldn't get far. She has exploited a niche more than delivered useful content.

'Using' one may be considered more underhanded? Although, I have heard
she gets no support? Has no external influences?

Not for you certainly, I guess your years on this planets are numbered
and you simply don't care or have a very closed mind.

The younger generation think differently.

Only, it's not going away, other than random fluctuations during this
glacial period. And, indeed, the earth is without any ice for far longer
periods than an ice age.
