I don't usually response to, or even read, your posts, but I did see this one and since you ask a question, here's an answer:Piers Corbyn: “Listening to an ignorant brainwashed child is deranged. I am an actual scientist of physics Meteorology, astrophysics and climate and say @GretaThunberg is wrong and suffers mental abuse by manipulative adults.”Brendan O'Neill on Spiked: "Anyone who doubts that the green movement is morphing into a millenarian cult should take a close look at Greta Thunberg. This poor young woman increasingly looks and sounds like a cult member. The monotone voice. The look of apocalyptic dread in her eyes. The explicit talk of the coming great ‘fire’ that will punish us for our eco-sins. There is something chilling and positively pre-modern about Ms Thunberg. … Young people, Ms Thunberg isn’t your leader. She’s a patsy for scared and elitist adults. Don’t do as she says. Instead, refuse to panic, mock the blather about hellfire, and appreciate that mankind’s transformation of the planet has been a glorious thing that has expanded life expectancy, allowed billions to live in cities, and made it possible for even the less well-off to travel the globe. Sin against St Greta."Helen Dale: “Can the Beeb arrange for Andrew Neil to interview this Greta Thunberg character? Because afterwards I guarantee we’ll never hear from her again. She may even have a meltdown on national telly into the bargain.”Rod Liddle, Sunday Times, wrote last Sunday that Greta's "palpable ignorance, bless her, about climate change was listened to with glowing indulgence by Labour’s leader, Jeremy Corbyn. The lass, who is 16 and has Asperger’s syndrome, does not have the remotest clue about the enormous strides made by the UK in reducing carbon emissions, not least the fact that our dependency on coal has been almost eradicated. In short, the poor child does not know what she is talking about."
