Laugh away...

Thunberg's rise to world fame made her an ad hoc leader in the climate activist community. She faced heavy criticism, especially due to her age. Thunberg's influence on the world stage has been described by The Guardian and other media as the "Greta effect". She has received honours and awards, including in Time's 100 most influential people, named the youngest Time Person of the Year in 2019, inclusion in the Forbes list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women (2019), and nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize.

I don't think there was anything funny about Greta. She accomplished a lot to counter the disinformation champaign funded by the oil companies.

That said, I found it amazing how eager some people were to dismiss the scientific community of climate scientist, even though @ 99% agreed with the basic findings. That high of a percentage of agreement itself is rare. But people didn't rally around the facts, they chose to rally around a teenager. Her words carried more weight.

I found that strange.
