A lightening rod in a building does only one thing. It attracts and focuses a potential danger that might otherwise destroy everything. The very fact that she attracts so much criticism says what a great job she is doing.

@whowasthatmaskedman She certainly attracts attention, no denying that, but divides opinion.

@Nimbus Yes, the anti-science and denial crowds were totally on board with the consensus on climate change before she showed up.

@Nimbus And the opinion needs to be divided and argued over. Its too important NOT you fight over it. at least to the billion or so most vulnerable
Nimbus · M
@whowasthatmaskedman Yes, it should be talked about at great length until a definitive answer and solution can be found but not by someone so young.
Let it be by experts.

@Nimbus And there we are back at the lightening rod.She is not claiming to be the authoruty. Just a kid with real skin in the game. That IS her purpose.
Nimbus · M
@whowasthatmaskedman A kids purpose is to be a kid and enjoy that brief moment in time doing kid's stuff surely?

@Nimbus Kids today will define their own purposes when they are ready.. I have no doubt this girl is a pain in the neck nine ways from Christmas. I also expect she picked up motivations from her family. That does not make her wrong..
Nimbus · M
@whowasthatmaskedman And neither does it make her right.

Only scientists and so called experts can.
Definitive proof is still needed to remove any doubt.

@Nimbus Thats a different question.We can debate that if you wish.
