What is your opinion of Greta Thunberg?

The story of Greta’s outrageous,
How an unschooled child can retrain us,
But the girl has been taught,
Or better said bought,
To seek logic deep up her anus.

 

She has the mark of a zealot on her. I find it sad that at such an early age, her zeal for preaching the word of the global warming church to be quite disturbing. And in much the same way as I find folks from the Jonesboro Baptist Church kind of spit slinging indignation, Greta evokes that image. An intolerant, indoctrinated zealot the world doesn't need. She's now at least an adult, so criticizing her is actually appropriate. When she wasn't an adult, I certainly criticized her parents for parading her around. She looks like she's 13... I expect that using her image, and her equally child like simplicity and zeal was the package that the tyrants of climate change were looking for though. And that's sad.

 

Yes, I think you are right there.

 

She is a person that promotes an idea that some people disagree with......now let that soak in......and she is marked as evil. It is a sorry excuse for a human that claims to be in favor of free speech. Someone needs to take the high brow politicians task. She is apparently claiming all that is being done to combat climate change is lip service. She is most likely right. For this she should be nailed to a tree? I like her.

 

No. She should be administered choice #5 in the OP: "Firmly spanked".

 

I like her.

 

she seems like she would do really well with a little time spent in the military.

 

I think she is one of those rare children that come along every now and then and reshapes the world. I think she is fantastic. If you feel threatened by her message then you might want to think long and hard why you seem to be in denial of one singular reality:

This planet is our only home, take care of it.

 

I'm going to give this a like for the quality of the limerick not for its message.

 

Our so-called leaders can't even balance a budget. And they're gonna save the planet?

 

50%. I'll take it.

 

Nah, I'll give you 75% since you are rhyming in a second language.

 

75%! I'm over the moon. I gave a lot of thought to making it rhyme and convey what I wanted to say.

 

She's having a great time. Made a lot of friends along the way.

Jealous?

 

Polly want a Greta?

 

In rhyming you clearly have skill
but your thinking is sadly not brill'
with resources finite
our responses are sh*te
and the youngsters will pick up the bill.

 

No, she's not "having a great time". She's floating on a cloud she mistakenly believes was created by her own merits but there isn't a single thought that hasn't been fed her and when the phoney levitation drops her back on earth she's going to be manically depressed. We'll be reading about her mental deterioration within the next 5 years and her camp will be blaming her condition on "us" for not supporting her when the penny drops to confirm that she's just a storm in a teacup.

 

She's well past that phrase.

There are many people 'doing', just not to her liking or her level.

Her parent's have prostituted her for personal gain. While she present's a 'fresh face' to environmental problems, she is arrogant and lacks understanding of what the average person thinks and deals with.

 

I recall all the claims Armageddon,
On the eve as child much to bet on,
But I’ve seen quite enough,
She’s not up to snuff,
And her rant we’ll all soon forget ‘em.

 

Passionate about Climate change and how her generation is going to be affected by it.

 

I can't think of much to add to that. That's the kit and caboodle.

 

My name is Greta Thunberg and I’m not here to make deals. You see, I don’t belong to any financial interest or political party. So I can’t bargain or negotiate. I am only here to once again remind you of the emergency we’re in. The crisis that you and your predecessors have created and inflicted upon us. The crisis that you continue to ignore.

I am here to remind you of the promises that you have made to your children and grandchildren. And to tell you that we are not willing to compromise on the very minimum safety levels that still remain.

You can read about her message at the link above.

 

Shall I link Hitler's and Göbbels' rehearsed speeches as well? I'm not sure if those two men wrote their own speeches but I can guarantee you that Greta Thunberg does not.

 

While Greta may not be a sage,
she's clearly the voice of her age,
old men talk the talk,
but they won't walk the walk,
so I forgive her for all of her rage.

 

Sure thing, old man
