^^ This is precisely why the powers behind her use a child.... because children can't be criticized. As others have said, it's akin to using a human shield. Beyond low.
Actually...what this is showing is not that a child can not be criticized, but that there are those who are incapable of criticizing her ideas and instead resort to attacks on her appearance, disability, and intelligence.
Why?
What ideas has she promoted?
The world is going to end? It isn't.
That we have stolen her dreams and her childhood? We haven't.
That people are suffering and dying? Since the world began, but not because of climate change.. All ADULTS know and understand this.
Entire ecosystems are collapsing? They aren't.
That we are in the middle of a 'mass extinction?', we aren't.
If, and this is huge if, we are in the midsts of all that, then it will take money (Much more than is currently on hand today if we confiscated all money), and a sustainable means of generating the money to keep her from losing her childhood. Yet she claims that we can do all this without money or 'eternal economic growth'.
These statements are taken from her. Do you see any ideas? What data has she provided to back up her outburst?
She wishes to cut our output by more than half because SHE is afraid.
What will she be willing to do to achieve this?
No heat in winter.
No cooling in summer.
Walk to school and work.
Cook food with ONLY the wood she can gather from her immediate location, or better yet, eat everything raw.
Will she abandon her computer, her iPads/tablets, and her phone?
Did she walk back home from the UN?
Has she apologized for the clothing she is wearing?
Ideas?
She rudely spouted talking points given to her by someone else.
All of what I just typed is NOT an attack on her, but an acknowledgment that she hasn't made an argument to refute.
Emotional accusations are not arguments.
