I'm sorry but if it wasn't for her, climate change would still be way down the agenda. She has mobilised the youth of this planet and we now have a fighting chance of saving the planet.

You may think she is shouting, but it's the only way that politicians might listen; they certainly weren't before.

I don't know much about her really. But I know she has the best interests of the world at heart.

It’s because she speaks up that people listen. She’s not “aggressive” but assertive which is a good and necessary thing.
Girls and women should be applauded for this, not criticised and stifled.

She’s ok, and at least she’s trying to save the planet 👍

She's bringing something to public attention that we all know we should have done better with by now.

And that's never pleasant to hear because it highlights just how useless we are at doing it; how corruptable our elected Politicians have been in taking business money to ensure they're not legislating to stop it and the fact that we're not as mad about it as we should be.

She is fine and doing effective important work right now. She isn't doing anything wrong and she is educating us as to the catrastophe facing us if we continue to be inert on the issue of climate change.

prime example of manipulated and borderline abused child.

"Just a kid" who has done more for climate change than any (so called) adult. Would rather have other kids looking up to her than say Hannah Montana, what a great roll model Miley Cyrus turned out to be, not!.

Most kids want to be admired for being cute and irresponsible and she's different, she actually has something to tell us. Not too endearing.

she is a paid puppet

Young people always want to grow up as quickly as possible (I did). Her interests and OPINIONS got her into a game that was well above her level. Her thoughts would have played out more appropriately as a school essay. She had her moments of fame and I wish her well but I did not agree with her platform or her delivery.

On one hand I think she's an abused child, on the other she's effing obnoxious.
Also she's 17 but I bet her carbon footprint is a shitload higher than mine with all the travelling she does.

Many people have been figuratively or literally "shouting" about how human action has been ...is negatively impacting the earth's ecosystems, for a very long time.

That slow, steady mutual cooperation has made a positive difference for a while, at times. Yet, the same sort of things are still going on every day...all around the world. Anyone wanting to get "aggressive" about the wrongness of that fact seems quite reasonable, to me. Even more so, when they are very young.

Okay let me get clear myself on one thing ,I dont think anything she is saying or questioning is wrong ,the over exploitation of earth is a fact ,the breakdown of ecological system at the hands of humans is true .I just dont like her agressiveness .
But I think it was also something that brought attention to her questions.because this topic of protecting earth is treated so irresponsibly by all nations in their race to urbanization and industrialization.
