A UN panel says it can’t rule on a climate case brought by Greta Thunberg. She and others argue that France, Turkey, Brazil, Germany and Argentina had known about the risk of climate change for decades but failed to curb their carbon emissions

Climate activist Greta Thunberg speaks as she joins students holding a Fridays for Future climate strike while environment ministers meet ahead of Glasgow's COP26 meeting, in Milan, Italy, on Oct. 1.A UN panel said on Monday it could not immediately rule on a complaint by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg and others that state inaction on climate change violates children’s rights, adding they should have sought redress in national courts first.

The committee, made up of 18 independent human rights experts, concluded that a “sufficient causal link” had been established between the significant harm allegedly suffered by the children and the acts or omissions of the five states. “We hope that you will be empowered by the positive aspects of this decision, and that you will continue to act in your own countries and regions and internationally to fight for justice on climate change,” it said.

She is absolutely right; All the world's authorities of all kind just talk, make promises and neve do anything meaningful. Blah, blah, blah... yada, yada, yada... bs, bs, bs, lies, lies lies.... you make us sick.

Is she still a thing?

Good as there are proper procedures to follow and just because one is a cute kid it is not really a proper procedure and should never be. It may be time to grow up, learn a few things and get experience and later complain about lost childhood due to adult exploitation.
