Poor Greta - like millions of other postmodern youth — has swallowed whole the enviro-woke theory that the end is near. She is as glassy-eyed and nihilistic as the Bronze Age peasants who feared that every thunderclap and crop failure came from the hand of an vengeful God.

Can her generation recover before they destroy us all?

Hello. Greta is 16. I expect any 16-year-olds to be able to take responsibilities for and accept the consequences of their own actions. For that reason, I don't see her as a complete victim of post-modernism. I believe that her passion and beliefs are genuine, but I would assume that there are some things in her head which she has not thought through. It is not healthy, in my opinion, that she is given a microphone and make emotional speeches without being challenged. It does not lead to a discourse. She is entitled to her opinions and she is entitled to free speech, so are other teens who disagree with her. She and opposing teens should be given opportunities to debate on climate change. After all, climate change needs to be discussed among young people (I'm a skeptic, but not a denier). Greta should be listened to (what she really thinks, not the rhetoric she learned to speak) but not necessarily to be agreed with all the time. Her views need to be challenged by others in the same generation, not being bashed, ridiculed, or patronised, let alone being manipulated by adults.

"I believe that her passion and beliefs are genuine, but I would assume that there are some things in her head which she has not thought through. "

This pretty much defines the mind of a child. In the case of little Greta she is also stricken with some form of autism/Asperger syndrome. Also she was born into a family that imposed their Marxist dogma upon their own helpless daughter.
Greta is to be pitied - not chided. She is NOT to blame for the things that come from her lips. If those things can be characterized as "ideas" in the first place they certainly are NOT ideas arrived at of her own reasoning. Greta has been victimized by her parents and others. Now she is being victimized by 100s of thousands of people who both love the things she says and those who do not.
The right thing to do with Greta would be to gently pat her on the head and tell her she did a good job as trained and instructed and then to send her back to her sheltered little world and to pray that somehow, some day little Greta will be able to reason for herself.

Hello iThink. "The right thing to do with Greta would be to gently pat her on the head..." That's patronising! Lol
Do you remember when you were child, how frustrating it was to have your ideas, thoughts or feelings brushed off by your teachers, parents or any grownups? Get told not to be silly - conversation over? I do. Grownups forget that once they were children themselves. Children have their own thoughts and their own feelings; no matter how childish, naive, immature, etc., they are still thoughts and they are still feelings. Children need to be listened to and made aware that there are some things that they haven't thought through (like "sell your car or you are going to die in the next 12 years" which doesn't make sense, right?) so that they will be wiser. Listen to them and guide them by all means, but don't just dismiss their views. That would be my approach if I had children. Unfortunately, Greta is wrapped up in her passion and beliefs so much that she fails to understand how her actions are impacting on young minds. No one with a sane mind would tell children that they are going to die in a matter of years. There are so many children and young people already suffering depression. Why tell them such a thing? It's cruel. Someone has to talk to her face-to-face and unpick her thoughts. That would be the right thing to do for her IMO.
