The strange thing is that she's been all over the news for months, and yet the media seem to know nothing about who's behind her. You would have thought someone would love to land the killer blow to discredit her. Haven't they hacked her voicemail yet? Of course maybe, just maybe, there isn't anything suspicious about a passionate 16 year old voicing what millions of other kids have been saying for the last 10 years or so

Science fact is not brainwashing , she understands the risks of climate , read the IPCC report summary and weep.

And as far as the arguments against what she says, well there are plenty.
There are not plenty , research the science yourself and learn the truth about facts and reality . Ignorance is not cool, it just makes you look ignorant and speeds the death of our species lol

Fact based is not biased.
She is biased because as a life form she does not want to die , but we all have that bias....

Do keep up. Corbyn's history now. You don't have to keep on kicking him, he's already dead.

The kid on the floor was actually genuine, the Tories spun out some fake news to say it was fake.

It also appears genuine that Greta did have to sit on the floor for the first part of her journey from Basel to Göttingen after her train was cancelled, only after that she had a seat in 1st class. In fairness, I've also ended up in the gangway on Deutsche Bahn on several occasions!

People believe any old s**t nowadays if it supports what they've been told to think. Too lazy to find things out for themselves. Nanny knows best. Pathetic really.

In fact I think she is slightly crackers. She will grow up in a few nuclear, green, enviro-mental, climate change years

Everyone jumping on the climate change bandwaggon. Nuts. It is a planet that has seen worse than us veggie eating weirdos. But we think otherwise. No, you wont change a planet by choosing petrol over diesel or use less shopping bags

As true as it is. It is a beautifully portraited photograph, good angle, correct lighting, exposure etc. Whilst it’s hard to tell if photos are professionally taken in these day of smartphones and compact cameras, it does at least look semi professional...and tell me I’m overthinking this, but was it taken and used to imply an underlying message?

Photographers rarely take photos for no reason, from an artist’s point of view it’s a poignant image of a young girl on the floor of a train. Is this her ‘sacrifice’ for her cause, or is it the inadequacy of alternate land-based mass transit. (topic eco-twist...bring back air ships ).


In contrast the boy on the hospital floor was clearly an amateur photo.
