Eloquently dressed down the establishment.

We need more like her to speak out against hypocrisy.

As she grows into adulthood and finally gets to the point where she is listened to by the people in power.
Hers is a voice of immense power and can't be ignored; refuses to be ignored; will not be ignored.
Time will put her even more on the center stage of world politics.
Bravo Greta!

Did you catch that with the air quotes?

I guess she's not impressed with our current President, is she.

She speaks the truth.

The main point of her presentation revolves around the fact that all of the powerful politicians are making noises about doing something about climate change but they are all empty words. She wants to see action.

She called out all of the political leaders (of wealthy nations in particular). I just caught that one reference.

It's a powerful thing. If you can watch it later, I recommend it.

Better delivery than Cruz or TFG who are I suppose speaking in their native tongues.

Agree with her 100%. It is mostly all smoke and mirrors then get paid.

She doesn't hold back. Her generation can't afford to. They'll inherit the complete mess we've created and done nothing to mitigate.
