Per my understanding, climate-science is not yet settled, with varying and wide-ranging opinions among scientists. I certainly do not want politicians to take "urgent" actions based on incomplete data and evidence, since any such action is bound to have long-term problematic consqeuences to my wallet.

Greta is a smart kid, no denying that. However, I still believe she parrots a lot of information that she may not understand fully and is being used as a lobbying-tool to enact legislation. That, I have a problem with!

I can agree that what she says is used by others to promote their campaigns. Not her fault IMHO, though. I think she says reasonable things that are well researched, she doesn't talk about unsure thing; she mostly talks about the factual state of the world and demands answers and doesn't dictate solutions or what kind of action should be taken.
