Yeah, when I heard an excerpt where she had made her own little solar boat to sail across the ocean, it took me about .13 seconds to think: bullshit.
And then to later hear that she was addressing the US Congress, I knew that it was.
Nothing but political theater. Not even very interesting theater at that.
Hey little girl, my town has been digging and selling fossil fuel since before your great grandparents were born. More than 100 years.
Scientific calculations say there are a little over 200 years of production left. So, they'll still be digging and selling coal long after your great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren are born.
Listening to her talk is almost unbearable, but it's very clear and obvious that she has not had enough discipline throughout her childhood. Sadly, many parents with children that have problems overlook much more than they should. I'm certain that this is no different judging by her scripted anger and demeanor, not unlike any other child trying to throw a temper tantrum to get their way. I blame her parents for that.
Instead of crossing their legs and clapping their hands, they should be putting her over their knee and smacking her bottom side with them. Just my 2 cents.
