Is that all it takes to get what you want? Well then I'm 'making a call' to end poverty. Specifically my own. Please send me money now.

[oneofthesionmains]

Remember that she's 1000x more known then a boy who started A REAL ocean cleanup project to do REAL good.

I've been hearing we are going to die in 10 years for my entire life

[BG_WENGH]

All this ranting and raving about saving the environment when they'll probably blow like 10, 000 pounds of fuel on their private jet planes/cars.

“...planting trees isn’t good enough...”
Mr.Beast did more in a year for the environment then she’ll do in her entire life at this rate, show some respect.

She has half a high school education, why is she an expert?

[ottojr]

This is like the Twilight Zone episode where everyone fears the kid

[undeny]

Im just amazed they left the comments and ratings enabled lol

Been there heard this: 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000-2019, and now 2020.

She was given a script to read it's obvious, she's being used by her parents.

[justinsharp]

Funny, I remember people telling me this almost exact thing in 1990. We were all going to be under water by 2000. Now I guess we’re all going to catch fire. Maybe it’s special climate fire that burns under water. Go planet!!

[arnoldscully]

It is a shame they have pawned this child in such a fashion. They have stripped her of her childhood and forced her into a puppet roll. Sad.

[CRTKaL]

Anybody see the video of her where she didn't have a script to read from? She was absolutely lost when asked basic questions about climate change and sent the questions to a different panel member.

[orangemanbad]

I'm curious to know what she thinks of Leo's life style of carbon emissions being 100 times the average person?

[yousircantknow]

I'm not a scientist but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

[RocketMan]

this sounds just like her father talking...

[Columbus]

Veruca Salt: "I want it now!" Greta probably hasn't been told that the major oil companies spend billions of dollars per year on alternative energy. So, cut investment and you'll cut research and prolong the problem.

it's easy to stand up and say "this is your problem, you need to stop" it's a lot harder to say " this is how you fix it". Don't bring problems, bring solutions.

[mobilerevolution]

Anyone remember 'Children of the Corn'? She gives me that kind of vibe. This is just weird.
