    Greta Thunberg

    When the spokespersons of your movement are a mentally defective OCD child and an ex-barmaid, there is a massive disconnect with reality in your firmament.

    ...The 16-year-old, whose name is Greta Thunberg, suffers from Asperger Syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum. One wouldn’t normally expect someone with Asperger’s to be chosen as the spokesperson for a global movement, given that sufferers from that condition are characteristically lacking in nonverbal communication, struggle with empathy, are typically very uncomfortable around large crowds, obsess pathologically about subjects not under their control, and often engage in long rants without consideration for how they will be received. Thunberg appears to be a more serious case, suffering from depression so severe she once went two months without eating and had to be pulled out of school.

    And yet that’s precisely what the global warming cultists did, plucking this highly susceptible child, juicing her up with all of the bleak Malthusian auguries of an apocalypse less than two decades in the offing, and then featuring her at protest events across Europe before taking the Angry Cassandra Revue transatlantic. Congress was subjected to Thunberg’s scowling, then she addressed the idiotic Climate Strike demonstration late last week before Monday’s tour de gripe...

    Interesting I immediately I had the feeling that something was wrong with this little girl. That was before all the news came out about her condition.

    I read it as an attack on the UN. My shame is directed at them. This developmentally disabled child is a sideshow.

    I saw the name in the news headlines, but didn't read about her because I never heard of her...Is this another one of those Kardashian people who I'm supposed to know all about even though I never heard of her?......Ben

    Well the good news is we all have at least 12 more years. Let's make the best of it.

    That's the way it is with me too, Ben. My go-to fix is simply to ask my wife whom it is. If she does not know, it doesn't matter.

    Joe---please educate me---what are the "conditions" this young lady has which render her and her opinions somehow completely dismissible?

    I don't know much about her but her handlers (and parents) are very smart. They are even mentioning a Noble Peace Prize, she is going to be a very wealthy young lady. The wacko climate lefties are drooling over her. I did see her speech and she reminded me of a petulant child.

    I just read some of your link Joe----that is a shameless hit job if ever there was one. If they disagree with her position fine---but an attack like that is disgraceful.

    It is disgraceful to point out the centerpiece of a scientific argument suffers from autism and has 16 years of experience? I disagree. The girl’s essential pitch is “believe me just because.” I think Lefties consider significant disabilities as a some kind of advantage and mark of veracity. “How can you criticize a young person and one with a disability on top of that? You must be evil to do that.” I think the measure of her zealotry is based in her disease. It is characteristic of it.

    I have compassion for one with that disease. I have colleagues that have children who are affected. Who I don't have compassion for is the mongrels who marched this poor child out there to forward their cause and as Joe said they did it knowing it would be difficult to criticize her. In today's world you could actually make a case she is being abused by these zealot wackos.
