She's only written one, I believe.

I don't expect it to tell me anything I don't know...likely aimed at readers her age.

I'm sure if she'd accepted the award and said she'd donate it then she'd be getting even more shit for it.

I think she's mature enough to decide for herself what she wants to do.

She's 16, hardly mature enough for many things.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg getting mural in San Francisco

Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg is staring down at pedestrians in the heart of San Francisco where an artist is painting a mural of the Nobel Peace Prize nominee.

Greta Thunberg ... just in-case you missed her-11689998-3x2-940x627-jpg

Key points:

The artist who is painting the giant mural is doing it for free
It is to be one of a series of artworks commissioned to honour climate change activists
Ms Thunberg is currently travelling around North America to raise awareness of climate change

Argentine muralist Andres Iglesias, who signs his art with the pseudonym Cobre, is set to finish the artwork of the Swedish 16-year-old in the city's Union Square by next week.

Cobre told news site SFGate that he was donating his time to complete the work and that he hoped the mural would help people realise "we have to take care of the world".

Cobre said he was searching for a building for a new mural when environmental not for profit One Atmosphere approached him about the project.

Executive director Paul Scott said he believed Cobre was the perfect choice to create the first of what the organisation hopes will be a series of works honouring climate change activists.
The voice of a generation?
The voice of a generation?
Greta Thunberg inspired a global movement for climate action, but some haven't welcomed her message.

Ms Thunberg herself had spent the day at a climate change rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, and shut down a heckler who tried to disrupt her speech.

"I think if you want to speak with me personally, maybe you can do it later," Ms Thunberg said before the crowd erupted, chanting her first name.

she looks a bit like Vladimir Putin in that mural

Putin?

1984?

Or ISIS Executioner?

Fridays for Horsepower

The German Motorists Who Oppose Greta Thunberg

Snips:

"Apparently I struck a nerve," Grau says on the phone. The response has been overwhelming. The closed Facebook group already boasts more than 540,000 members."

"For many people, the climate debate has long since snowballed into all-encompassing questions: How am I allowed to live? How should I live? And who has the right to tell me what to do? Germans might be more amicable to living more sustainably if they didn't associate this with increasing government interference in people's daily lives -- a touchy subject. Plus, it's no secret that Germans love their cars. Many still view them as a symbol of freedom. Indeed, most people here treat their vehicles as more than just basic utilitarian machines. It's unlikely that a threat to, say, oil furnaces would stoke people's emotions quite as strongly.

But that's precisely what's happening with Fridays for Hubraum. More than half a million people have banded together on Facebook in reaction to Fridays for Future, though the two movements are not entirely comparable. Fridays for Horsepower is just a Facebook group, not a series of mass protests on the streets. It only takes a few mouse clicks to join a group like this. Even if every one of the group's 540,000 members were active and took their cause seriously -- and didn't just join the group for the heck of it -- their number would still pale in comparison to the 1.4 million people who took to the streets in Germany for the Fridays for Future protests on Sept. 20. And that was just one day."

"But the horsepower aficionados are mostly adults, and unlike many of the Friday demonstrators, they are also eligible to vote. This is why they are taken so seriously."

"Yellow Vests in Germany?

Could that happen here, in the land of the car? The German government coalition hasn't forgotten the protests against the proposed ban on diesel vehicles in Stuttgart because of fine particle emissions. Could this possibly lead to a yellow vest movement in Germany? It's not a pretty thought. The German government caved to pressure from the streets -- or at least from people who drive a car there."

Stupid squareheads.

Let's all hope there's a really good psychologist as part of the kid's entourage.

Jeez, putting a kid with her mental/emotional issues, suffered depression at age 11, up on the World stage. Shame on everyone who supported that.

She would have been a feared foot-soldier in the Stasi.

Locked in room 101 with Greta in knee high leather jackboots cracking a riding crop on the table and doing her 'How dare you?' routine would be enough to reduce the most hardened seditionary to tears.

An instance of open revolt against civil authority, may lead to "exciting" a person in many ways.

Fluid being dripped from ones orifices is for some the end result.

"Tears" are just one example of "excitement".

Greta Thunberg catches lift to UN COP25 climate summit in Madrid with Australian sailing couple

Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg will make the COP25 UN climate summit after hitching a ride back across the Atlantic with an Australian couple travelling the world.

Key points:

Greta Thunberg is one of the world's highest profile environmental activists
She was stranded in the US after travelling there to attend a UN climate summit
She will travel to the new summit location in Spain with an Australian couple

The 16-year-old had travelled from her native Sweden to California by boat, train and electric car and was planning to continue on to the next round of climate negotiations, originally scheduled to be held in Santiago, Chile in December.

The Santiago summit was cancelled by Chile's government because of political unrest in the South American country and moved to the Spanish capital of Madrid.

Ms Thunberg refuses to fly because of the carbon emissions involved and had been searching for an environmentally-friendly way to travel back to Europe to attend the summit.

Are the yacht's "builders" equally pollution free?

How much pollution did the building and the annual charges to maintain the boat and crew cost?

Depends if you define warm fuzzies and potential further exposure and support as "payment" I suppose.

But again, relevance?

And if it does so what.

Did you know that the guy / people / woman who invented and developed solar panels and energy efficient light bulbs did so at least partly making use of standard lights and energy sources?

You make use of the technology available at the time. Big deal. Trying to discredit anyone on that basis is dumb.
