As irritating as she is, I also place a lot of the blame on her parents. I've worked with autistic students before, her age and younger. Autistic children, especially very intelligent ones, tend to fixate on things. She's obviously been force-fed a lifetime of propaganda; she's fixated on it, and now she's consumed by it. Her parents (and political opportunists) are using her in a disgusting way.
definitely . my son is on the autism spectrum . he knows everything about everything. it is like having a 14 yr old ben shapiro in my house .it would be very easy for someone to exploit someone like this by promoting a biased agenda . i am lucky and my kid is a super trumper . greta parents fed her a line of sensationalized bullshit and are using her to further their own agenda. when my kid gets all wound up in to something i use it as an opportunity to sit down and actually talk about what really going on and try to defuse the kid a bit .what i see going on with greta is wrong on so many levels. i do not expect her to grow up in to a well adjusted adult
My school district didn't replace their Environmental Science books fast enough. So when I went to school, the books claimed that the polar ice caps would be melted by 2020 and the sea levels will have risen to cover all of America's coastal cities... Almost all of Florida would be gone. NYC would look like Venice.
The teacher had to explain that the newer edition had "updated science" that explained the effects of global warming are hard to predict and may manifest themselves differently, but would should still that around 2035-2045.
Damn it's gone full circle. It's been a while and it was in California so we were on the cutting edge of BULL SHIT but I remember my teacher reading to us about the Coming Ice Age. Mile thick ice sheets were going to cover the plains states and cause global famine unless we stopped using cars and air conditioning. A decade later they just the flipped the script with no other changes. All Scientists Agree, The Science Is Settled. After a couple decades of zero warming, at all, in fact we had several cold AF winters so they just took a flu virus and it's like The Walking Dead with much better writing.
In 2020 they realized that the global warming scare wasn't working anymore
they jumped the shark with greta
HOW DARE YOU. She sees carbon dioxide with her bare eyes you bigot.
