[opinion=mine]

If Greta Thunberg wasn't the Media's little darling of the month, we might never hear about her at all.

As it is, she's being over-hyped long past the general public's capacity of interest.

The Media will soon forget about her until she starts dating or shows up somewhere wearing only a bikini.

An outstanding Aspie move. Good for you, Miss Thunberg!

Makes you wonder if she'd have done the same had she been given the Nobel Peace Prize she was nominated for.

I bet she would. I love how all the people who claim they want a "straight shooter" in charge completely freak out when a real one shows up in the news.

"God" for someone who never uses any religion to support her cause? How about "Messiah"? That's what they want to say but are afraid of offending religious conservatives.

She is what she is. A spokeswomen/leader without a target on her for the opposition to aim at. Everyone knows what she says is true, just and of the highest importance.
