When a person is praised as a "god", it may not be far from the collapse of his personality.

Crossing the Atlantic Ocean twice in three months. Such a feat comes from 16-year-old environmental girl Greta Thunberg.
is also a dramatic itinerary. In order to promote environmental protection, Greta set out from Sweden on a sailboat and floated on the water for 15 days before coming to the United States. After attending the climate summit, she planned to go to , Chile, and attend the climate change conference. Unexpectedly, the domestic unrest in Chile led to a temporary relocation of the destination in Spain. Greta was stunned and had to drift back to Europe urgently... It took another 3 weeks before she finally arrived before the conference closed.
It’s nothing to cross the Atlantic Ocean by sailing boat. Judging from Greta’s experience this year, her life is more like riding on a rocket.
start from an unknown little girl, she strikes classes, demonstrates, and calls on people to pay attention to climate change until she stands on the major podiums of the world. With her courage of "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger", she roars and accuses leaders of various countries of "stealing" her dreams and childhood. She likes to be known as the world's well-known "young leader" and "environmental princess", and some even regard her as the "successor of Jesus" and "contemporary Holy Mother".
Her fan support group is also super strong. Obama fights her against boxing, Trudeau invites her to have a discussion, Schwarzenegger rides her bike, the Prince of Monaco drives a boat for her, and even this year's Nobel Peace Prize almost entered her pocket, and she was in glory for a moment...
However, behind her high-profile and very intense behavior, some people have questioned a 16-year-old girl who can have such superb skills.
The various interests behind the climate issue are mixed. Is her initiatives of "stop fuel vehicles" and "eat all vegetarians" the naivety of "why not eat meat minced", or is it an eye-catching drama that someone manipulates behind the scenes?
Deafening roar
Back to a year and a half ago, Greta was still the most inconspicuous among the thousands of Swedish girls.
She was born in a family with a very literary atmosphere. Her father is a writer and actor, her mother is a singer in the local opera house, and her grandfather is a famous Swedish director. However, Greta does not seem to inherit the artistic cells of the family and looks introverted by nature.
Greta's parents
Compared with her peers, she is a little shy, with top grades but rarely speaks, and always sits in the back row of the classroom. Later, the family discovered that Greta had mild Esperger syndrome, a mental illness that may have communication disorders but could make people more focused.
Once, the teacher screened an environmentally friendly documentary in the class, which seemed to open a door to the small world of Greta. She could no longer stay in the ivory tower heartlessly like other classmates, but began to reflect: Why is such a problem that concerns human survival not given enough attention?
She started to start with herself, not eating meat, not buying new clothes, not taking planes. Her family members were also motivated by her, all of whom were vegetarians, growing vegetables by themselves, and riding bicycles to work. In order to fulfill Greta's "perseverance", my mother even gave up all the opportunities to perform abroad because she could not take a plane.
Greta's mother
Soon, the family unit can no longer meet little Greta's ambitions, she wants to go out and find a larger space.
September 2018, more than ten days before the Swedish election, she skipped classes every day to sit in protest at the door of the parliament. There was also a sign standing beside her that read: Strike for the climate.
The election ended, and Greta did not stop. He continued to sit still every Friday without moving, and gave her a name for her actions - "Friday for Future" (Friday for Future). After
Afterwards, in order to facilitate speeches and protests everywhere, she simply chose to take a year off for school.
Greta really became popular in December last year. She was invited to give a speech at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, and said something amazing - angrily denounced the immaturity of leaders of various countries on environmental protection issues and pointed out their hypocrisy, "While saying loves children, she stole their future... This is just for the opportunity to make a few people a lot of money."
Her frown, sonorous and powerful voice, and energy that cares about the world shocked the whole world.
Then, she became the "dear" of major forums:
In January this year, she was a guest of honor at the Davos World Forum;
2nd, she was invited to Ted in February. Talk delivered a speech; in March, she was recommended as the nominee for the "Nobel Peace Prize"; in August, she was selected as the "One Hundred Celebrities Influence the World" of Time magazine; in September, she crossed the Atlantic Ocean and attended the United Nations Climate Summit in New York; in December, she crossed the Atlantic Ocean again to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference...
Greta appeared in Time magazine and was hailed as the "leader of the next generation."
In every speech, Little Greta was full of aura and persuaded with great thought: "Humanity is about to die out, and you are still talking about economic growth."

Greta is setting off a wave of "children's saving the world".
In March this year, she launched the "European Youth Strike" campaign. According to incomplete statistics, more than 1.4 million students from more than 120 countries and regions responded to her call and joined the class strike demonstration.
September, when she arrived in New York on a sailboat, the children greeted her as a hero.
As soon as he got off the ship, Greta's complaint - "New York is full of the smell of burning coal" - ignited everyone's emotions. Hundreds of children launched a demonstration outside the UN headquarters in New York, , shouting slogans such as "Stop denying that the earth is dying" and "It's too hot". The youngest protester was only 6 years old.
Not only did Greta win a group of equally "hot-blooded" teenagers, but even many bigwigs publicly called her.
Schwarzenegger called her "the hero in my mind", and asked her to ride a bicycle, and introduced her daughter to her cognition↓↓

Trudeau sat in front of her, looking like he was reporting on his work↓↓
Greta accused Trudeau of "not doing enough" in environmental protection, and Trudeau agreed one by one: "fully agree with her point of view, we need to do more."
She was named "Writer of the Year" by the UK for her new book "No one is small enough to make a difference" because of the "inspiring power" of her works.
In November this year, Greta was specially left for Greta in the latest published textbooks for middle school students in Sweden.
In the course on religious knowledge and philosophy, Greta's chapter is called "Climate". The book describes her as an "alarm clock", an "alarm clock" that "allows us to discuss and reflect on what is happening in our world."
At the same time, Greta's image is constantly appearing around the world.
In Israel, her photos were placed next to the plastic tableware in major restaurants. When people go to pick up plastic knife and fork or dinner plate, they will get her contempt look, reminding people to use less disposable tableware ↓↓
In San Francisco , a giant mural of Greta will be officially unveiled next week near Union Square in the city center ↓↓
In Italy, her doll was a The right-wing organization was hung on a bridge in Rome, and the doll also read in English: "Greta is your God" ↓↓
Swedish Archbishop Antia Jacken compared Greta to a prophet in the Bible, and there was even a Swedish church who directly declared her as "the heir of Jesus"...
Walked down from the altar?
When a person is praised as a "god", it may not be far from the collapse of his personality.
Greta's legend is incredible. Her social activities of "strike for the climate" and sailing to the United States are deeply questioned about "exploiting", "showing", "drama heroes" and "using by adults", and people have begun to crazily explore the possible conspiracy theories behind this.
Someone has revealed that her parents had negotiated with local TV stations a few years ago and wanted to shoot environmentally friendly TV promotional videos for their daughter. Although the film was not made in the end, Greta is now famous overseas as she wishes, and the saying that a family of drama masters has begun to become popular.

Someone has begun to study Greta's infectious speech strategy:
She has clear logic and meticulous thinking in every speech. Her tearful tone and wide-eyed expression have to be said to have extreme expressiveness and infectiousness;
She can skillfully quote the couplet. The scientific report of the United Nations Panel on Climate Change, even every number she said, is verified, which is not something a 16-year-old can do;
In her TED speech, she gave a stunning metaphor - "If your house is on fire, will you sit at the table and talk about how it will be rebuilt in the future?" This method is said to be imitating the technique of climate activist Margaret Klein Saramon. Margaret is good at using it to incite human fear of extinction to bring the public into a state of emergency and ultimately achieve the goal of solving the problem.
Not only does conservatives who disagree with climate warming criticize her, but also some experts and scholars who agree with qsgt.
For example, she called for a general strike for young people in Europe, hoping that governments around the world will achieve zero emissions within 10 years, ban fuel vehicles and aircraft, and also called on all mankind to eat vegetarian food. These are pointed out to be very unrealistic ideas.
For example, her behavior across the Atlantic Ocean by sailing seems to be a practice for environmental protection, but it was pointed out that the subsequent organizer needs to send someone to fly the boat back to the departure point again, and the loss is much greater than that of her flying alone.
Compared with those big-name fans who support Greta, more politicians have begun to laugh at her overestimating her ability.
Putin first saw through Greta's problem and pointed out that "if someone exploits her, that person should be condemned." He asked a reversal question: "The modern world is complex and different. People living in Africa and many Asian countries want to live at the same level of wealth as Sweden, so what should they do?"
Trump As the initiator of the United States' withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, it is naturally Greta's biggest "enemy". When he commented on price Reta on Twitter , he used the same ironic tone as ever - "She looks like a happy little girl who yearns for a bright and beautiful future, which looks really good."
Greta once "gazes death" at Trump.
Macron became even more straightforward. He pointed to the key point: Young people, if you have the time to do something practical, don’t just talk nonsense and make trouble everywhere...
In the face of environmental protection issues, politicians rarely stand in a team.
We don’t know whether there is a “conspiracy” behind Greta. Perhaps the little Greta has not yet figured out the complex relationship between development and environmental protection, but if she is really just a child with a lofty vision and attempts to spread her ideas with her strong execution, courage and language expression skills, then this courage is undoubtedly worthy of admiration.
just wanted to remind Xiao Greta that the action is appropriate and the initiative is practical so that the world can not be pushed to another false "utopia".
