      It’s rather silly. She broke the law and was found guilty of doing so. Big deal.

      Look, I think she’s doing great things, but that doesn’t give her immunity to the law. If anything, this conviction keeps her name in the news, so it may be a positive after all.

        Oh it definitely feels like publicity stunt to me, I only know her name, don’t really buy into either side deifying her or hating her. From what I’ve seen, she’s someone who may not be qualified, but has a platform and is using it for something she believes in.

          deifying her

          Yeah man, before we start a climate protest, we first pray to our savior goddess Greta Thunberg. We post up a ginormous picture of her and bow, sometimes even prostrate to it. We repeat her mantra “How dare you!” a hundred times before starting anything else, because this all is about creating a personality cult, not actually protesting our meagerness when fighting climate change.

            There are plenty of other scientists to get behind, but you guys chose a teenager without any real qualifications.

            Sounds like she was your ‘chosen’ one.
