That's weird, Greta didn't mention this at all. I wonder if her boat being gifted to her by the Rothschilds has anything to do with it?

Greta's parents themselves are wealthy and connected. There's a reason she was able to get on talk shows and press coverage just for being a teenager opposed to climate change.

It's because she's a young white woman. White women, particularly middle aged white women, is a very competitive demographic for Republicans. The media knew exactly what they were doing through Greta up as the face of the environmental movement. Middle-aged white women either see their children in Greta or themselves, and they set it up for the right to attack and of course they did. It's a win-win for them, either Greta appeals to the middle-aged white women, or they get appalled by the right-wings attacks on her.

This is the lamest reason I've ever seen anyone give.

Life is often disappointing.

Her demographic appeal was definitely a reason she was pushed so hard. The left knew exactly how the right would react to some uppity mental tard and they played that against them.

There's a reason this chick was pushed harder than Malala, it's because middle-aged white woman can sympathize with her more.

I almost called BS but it was too specific to not duckduckgo it. It's funny in a strange way: https://www.rt.com/news/465501-greta-thunberg-hates-you/

Something that could be interpreted as a co-incidence or a conspiracy. What do you actually think?

A bit of both. I find it a bit telling that, they reach of out to and are willing to do what they did, that she accepts while presumably knowing who they are, and that everyone finds this not unusual.

Or hey it could just be lefties buddying up with lefties. I suppose I'd have to have a LOT of access to one or both parties to really be sure. :(
