    And you think it "not right" that they did so, think I should 'yell at the parents' and think they are 'actually liable' for what's occurred, not Greta. Is that right?

    It's not semantics. It's law.

    Minors can't make such decisions because they do not have the capacity to do so.

    That's why it's the law.

    Particularly when the minor has aspergers, ocd, depression, and apparently other types of mental illnesses.

    If you think it's abuse, yes, that's who you should be yelling at. If not, well, argue against the points made, otherwise you are just ad homing.
    You mean calling a spade a mentally ill spade even when the mentally ill part has nothing to do with the substance of anything said. Yep, that is an ad hom.

    I asked what you thought bud, given your statements it appears you agree that it is abuse. Is that correct, yes or no?

    I'm not sure, but either way I'm not going to ad hom a child.

    Ahhh, nope. Do it yourself. I know enough to refer anyone to any of the major universities, climate research institutions, NASA, the AAAS, our military and any major corporation on what the particulars of AGW. Your Sources ? None.

    This is a great idea.

    We need a 12 year old Russian NRA spokesperson.

    Nope. I have no intent getting into any discussion of your ridiculous assumptions. It’s a waste of time.

    What would be the motivation to deny AGW? How does that help the person arguing against it?

    And I don’t intend to. As long as you avoid researching yourself, you’re an empty vessel.
    I’m not the one who pretends he’s smarter then everyone at the aaas. That’s being a smart ass.

    Why should I waste my time ? No one changes or becomes an informed supporter of anything till they put the work in themselves.

    Its not ad homing, its a refutation of the claim of qualification by disorder.
    She herself, her parents, and her handlers, push her series of disorders and the particular triggers of them as giving her a special insight. They claim they make her qualified to discuss this topic and make demands that we switch to command economics and cut emissions more than 70% (do you have ANY idea what that would LOOK like?) and talk a whole lot of **** about how we're all thieves who stole from her. I'm simply pointing out that her own descriptions list that she is in a panic all day every day, and that is again BY HER OWN ADMISSION an artifact of her disorders that first manifested itself when her parents FREAKED HER OUT so they could write a ****ing book. Pointing out her admissions is not ad hom. Pointing out the disorders she touts as qualifications for insight, paired with her admissions, provides compelling and to date unrefuted evidence that her disorders are the root of her panic not any rationally based fear, is likewise not ad hom.

    According to the predictions of the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, 2000's or the 2010's?

    You can't really say she claimed to be qualified by disorder though. She literally said listen to the experts, not me. She said her condition allows her to see the world differently, not that it made her more qualified, which is true. I agree the book part and the fame the parents got feels a little bit like exploitation, but even if true, if the girl is actually happy and content with everything good on her. And she still deserves respect for her charisma and putting herself out there in front of the entire world. Most adults couldn't do that. Also, mind you she never mentioned the US, as the US was not part of the cooperation who made any promises, whether or not this is good or bad doesn't matter. I'm just being as fair as possible to the content.

    You have no intention on proving you know what you're talking about?
    No ****. Never would have guessed
