No-one with genuine human compassion could watch the tearful, hysterical performance of Greta Thunberg at the United Nations Climate Change conference without deep feelings of unease for her well-being and disgust at those exploiting her as a propaganda tool.
Miss Thunberg has Asperger’s, which Autism.org.uk describes as a syndrome on the autism spectrum. Sufferers from this unfortunate mental condition are particularly at risk of depression especially during adolescence. They need regular routines, certainty in their lives and often benefit from a diet including plenty of Omega-3, typically found in oily fish. They certainly do not need to be on vegan diets, shipped thousands of miles and paraded on the world stage parroting learned lines
One part of Greta’s speech does ring all too true in this regard: “I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to me for hope? How dare you!”
But then she gave a hit of the mental and psychological turmoil into which she has been hurled by her coached belief in the Climate Apocalypse cult:
“You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing.
“We are in the beginning of a mass extinction. And all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!”
“For more than 30 years the science has been crystal clear. How dare you continue to look away and come here saying that you are doing enough, when the politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight.
Speaking to The Atlantic, she acknowledged that: “It’s hard to be the centre of attention; I don’t like that. I have to tell myself it’s for a good cause.”
The truly tragic thing, of course, is that it is not. The repeated missed deadlines of climate and environmental catastrophe from 1970 onwards (a new Ice Age, mass famine, ozone hole disaster, runaway warming by 2000, an end to snow in Britain and the USA, etc, etc) should alert us to the fact that this is not about ‘settled science’ but a God-free Doomsday cult.
Such cults all too often end in the suicide of their most committed followers. Looking at Greta’s face and listening to her voice at this sordid summit of carbon profiteers and would-be socialist Global Government dictators, we can only condemn her parents for taking part in this grotesque exploitation, and for clearly putting their daughter at such risk. “How dare you?”
