Greta Thunberg

She came across the pond to give us a speech on climate change. On the 20th of this month, children were given a pass to skip school and protest on this issue.                   https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/09/kids-march-climate-action/   

Here is some background info on Greta: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greta_Thunberg

 

Should a child that has as many obvious problems be spending time skipping school where she could be learning things that will help her develop into a young adult and then go onto college and get the education that could help her get the knowledge needed to actually help in correcting this climate change dilemma.  

 

Is this a real problem? I'm not a scientist so I'm not in a position to render a properly informed opinion. But I do know that programming a child to memic the views of the parent and roust support from their peer group(s) is not a good thing.   

 

Watch this video: Sky News host Chris Kenny has described it as “disturbing” that the UN allowed “hysterical teenager” Greta Thunberg to speak at its Climate Change Summit in New York. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDXKTXuM2TY    

 

Finally, I find it interesting, amusing? that the adults that are crying about climate change fly around in private jets and do other things that they espouse is the very things that are contributing to the problem. At least Greta had the courage to sail for days from her home country to the US to avoid contributing to carbon. Now here is a lesson that the adults SHOULD memic. But I'm not holding my breath and if you want to see the next hour you should not either. 

When the dust bowl from 1930 to 1936 occurred I don't think there were people running around yelling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling!                                         

But today it's ok to use kids?
