The facts appear to be significantly less dire than the blunders.
You mean not as immediate? True, But as any rational, logical person can read, no less dire.

I'd correct that by saying "and people who are using her are ensuring that she'll end up with a mental breakdown or worse". Again, I have sympathy for this poor soul.
Using a mentally handicapped child to promote a political agenda is the most reprehensible, disgusting tactic I've ever seen. This overshadows that Blasey-Ford slut fiasco in an attempt to destroy an honorable man's life and family. At least they were all adults.
It really really tells you how desperate climate alarmists are, and the despicable lengths they'll go to enable their agenda.

How 16-year-old Greta Thunberg’s rise could backfire on environmentalists
Just how inspiring or even persuasive you find Greta’s speeches and overall activism likely depends on where you stand on the political spectrum. There are plenty of politicians and regular voters claiming to be inspired by her words and passion. There are also lots of observers expressing general alarm at what they see as an indoctrinated child being coerced by adults to make their political arguments with her youth as a shield from any criticism.
Her story signals a clear change in environmental movement tactics, and just how much more divisive and ineffective that change is likely to be.
Greta, and the adults guiding her, are seeking to shift almost all the focus from personal responsibility to governments and big corporations to enact environmental reform.
The funny thing about all of this is the free market is already doing these things based on the same capitalist incentives Greta and so many other activists are blaming for environmental disaster.
Previous generations of environmental activists knew this. By focusing on what people could do in their own personal lives to cut down on pollution, they presided over an environmental movement that used to be much more bipartisan in America.

Should they all just drop out like Greta did? Just enjoy the time they have left?
Greta and her growing multitudes have an inarguable point.
She's not "fine"...
How odd for anyone to applaud and encourage a child who most likely has lived a life of being mocked and shamed to literally use mocking and shaming as her platform to "change the world"....
The reason Climate Deniers never post a body of reputable peer reviewed scientific literature that debunks the human impact on climate is because - they can't. That body of peer reviewed literature does not exist.
That is why they are always reduced to making unsubstantiated claims, posting opinion articles, or relying on obscure blogs no one has ever heard of.
Howdy Cypress,
Nailed it.
Laid 'em out.
Shut 'em DOWN.
You have to take into consideration her special needs. Including the "message"....Are you understanding where her thoughts are coming from? Once again...She's not "fine"...Hi TOP,
I think you are focusing too much on criticizing her as a person and not listening to her message.
It's not who she is.
It's what she's saying AS who she is.
I've done my homework several times over the yrs. I couldn't find anything. Now it's your turn. I'll wait. I'm very patient.
Greta and her growing multitudes have an inarguable point.
So what are your suggested preparations for everyone? Most people do their part as individuals....just like they buy insurance...Hello anonymoose,
What kind of wisdom says assume no danger, make no preparations?
That's dumb.
What are the odds that your home will be destroyed by fire?
Pretty low, right?
Almost nonexistent.
But still you buy insurance.
Preparing for climate change is like buying insurance for our home on Earth.
