  • In her Christmas speech, Queen Elizabeth II ennobled Greta for her services.
  • Now a comedian is causing an outcry.

Update from January 7, 2020:

Greta Thunberg: Comedian causes criticism with unbelievable statement - fans horrified - "disgusting"

Update from January 2, 2020: Greta Thunberg is undoubtedly one of the most polarizing people of the past year. Even before the new year started, the 16-year-old, who turns 17 on January 3, made the headlines again. But this time completely uninvolved. Because the British comedian Rosie Jones chatted about the environmental activist in the New Year's edition of the show "The Last Leg". What Jones said about the 16-year-old on the live show caused a shit storm in the UK and beyond.

The comedian probably just wanted to be funny, but her advice to Thunberg backfired that night. Jones advised the 16-year-old to prefer to participate in activities that are common in old age. "I think Greta is great and what she's doing is brilliant, but please don't do it now," Jones explains at first. "She has to live a bit," the comedian babbled on cheerfully. But her advice shortly afterwards prompted an outcry.

For some, the opinion that national coach Jogi Löw represents against Greta Thunberg should also be surprising. The critical words of CDU politician Friedrich Merz are meanwhile hard, but this opinion was probably to be expected.

Greta Thunberg under fire - comedians with questionable statements

"She is only 16. She should do two things. Drink Lambrini and be fingered. ”Rosie Jones should not have expected the echo in the social media world. Shortly afterwards, horrified comments gathered on Twitter. "I am disgusted by the comment", "The joke was disgusting" and "completely inappropriate", viewers of the TV show are outraged.

@ Channel4 the greta thunberg joke on the last leg was disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing that behavior

- just insults daily (@insulting_daily) December 31, 2019

Annoyed comments were also found on the comedian's Instagram profile. "I usually love your comedy, but your comment about Greta was too much," can be read there, among other things. In the meantime, Greta Thunberg apparently is concerned with the forest fires in Australia - and she makes a strict demand before the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Update from December 31, 2019: How are things going in 2020 and beyond with Greta Thunberg and the climate movement? Are the goals achieved? A futurologist has now spoken about the future of Greta Thunberg and the climate movement and predicts decisive changes.

Update from December 30: Since Greta Thunberg is not yet of legal age, haters often call the climate activist for her parents - in a nutshell: can they not even intervene? Are they just making money with their daughter? Now her father Svante Thunberg has spoken. Greta Thunberg was co-host of the Today's radio on BBC 4 this Monday - and her father told the station at the same time that she had been "much happier" since her commitment to the climate.

The 16-year-old, who suffers from Asperger's syndrome , had previously had depression , did not speak and even refused to eat at times. That was the "absolute nightmare". Initially, he and his wife thought Greta's commitment was an "obviously bad idea" because she "exposed herself to all the hatred on social media." But he found that she was "incredibly good", he continued.

Greta Thunberg takes over BBC broadcast - but there were concerns about the flight - "strange feeling"

December 29 update: The British BBC sent a host on a plane to Sweden to interview climate activist Greta Thunberg. But that was exactly what “felt strange”, as Sarah Sands said The Sunday Times . The reason: the means of transportation. There were discussions about whether one should send a moderator and team by plane to the climate activist in Sweden. Sands is an editor for the program "Today" on BBC Radio 4. Thunberg will work on the program on Monday (see update below). Ultimately, the decision was made to go with the plane, because there was no time for trains or a boat trip, Sands added.

The WDR caused a scandal with a climatic song: The song text of the WDR children's choir and the video can be found here.

Exceptional campaign after Queen praise: Greta Thunberg takes over BBC broadcast - "lost grip"?

Update from December 27th: On December 30th, Greta Thunberg is set to moderate live a well-known radio news program . BBC Radio 4's Today show features early morning news and current events. The British broadcaster tweeted a clip with Thunberg in which the 16-year-old announced that she would treat the extent of climate change - and talk to the famous animal filmmaker David Attenborough .

"Today" runs from Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. The reactions about Greta as a guest editor are divided. "Great! I definitely listen to that, ”says a happy reader. "The BBC has lost grip," says a reader.

Update from December 26, 2019, 10.15 p.m .: Greta Thunberg received a lot of encouragement over the Christmas holidays - right down to the Queen (see below). It is clear that the activist does not treat herself to a political break between the years. On the second Christmas day, Thunberg tweeted - and once again targeted air travelers. Now an AfD man shot heartily against Greta Thunberg, although he actually wanted to meet someone else with his criticism.

Greta Thunberg: Queen surprises with a clear opinion about climate activist

Update of December 26, 2019, 1:12 p.m .: Queen Elizabeth II , unlike many other heads of state, has only praising words for Greta Thunberg and her supporters. In her Christmas address, the British Queen Elizabeth expressed her respect for the commitment of young environmental activists.

"The challenges many people face today may be different from the challenges my generation once faced," said the 93-year-old who was a teenager during World War II on Wednesday. "But I'm impressed by it how new generations have developed a similar sense for topics such as protecting our environment and our climate. "

It is not so common that the Queen expresses herself politically. With Greta she obviously has a clear stance.

Now the WDR afforded a faux pas: the text for the WDR children's choir, redesigned for climate protection, gave the station a real shitstorm.

"Apocalyptic": Bishop warns Greta and "Fridays for Future" movement

Update of December 26, 2019, 11.30 a.m .: The Christmas sermons of the German bishops are overwhelmingly in the same horn. In their speeches, the clergy sometimes become very political and the majority speak out for an environmentally friendly lifestyle . The focus summarized the speeches from Limburg, Essen and Baden-Württemberg.

One particularly stood out. Ruhr Bishop Josef Overbeck from Essen . "Peace on earth", says the diocesan message, can only be achieved if the creation is respected. The 55-year-old therefore supports the “Fridays for Future” movement and sees it as a clear sign of the goals and values ​​of the young generation.

Nevertheless Overbeck also issues a clear warning . Some, according to the bishop, would wonder why the youth movement would so " apocalyptically intonate" their issues. He warns that an end-time mood should not be created.

Greta Thunberg: After desperate mail before Christmas - allusion to an embarrassing photo

Update from December 25, 2019: Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg celebrates Christmas at home. "Happy Holidays! Take care of yourself and this beautiful planet we live on, ”she writes to a post of her own on Instagram . In the picture you can see her with a Santa hat and her two dogs.

Thunberg looks relaxed - it has hardly been perceived in the past few weeks. After all, the 16-year-old had an exciting year. In addition to her post, a new acquaintance reports to the climate activist . Elayna Carausu is part of the influencer couple that Thunberg sailed on the La Vagabonde sailing ship from the USA to Europe.

Greta Thunberg: Unusual insights into the life of the climate activist

The Australian addresses a previously unknown picture that she wanted to give Thunberg's father: "I was going to get your dad the special picture of him printed on some pillows" - "I wanted to send your father the special photo of him - on some Cushions printed ... “Afterwards Carausu sends several smiley tears that smile, which suggests a rather embarrassing picture. Greta fans will probably never see this explosive picture.

For this, the YouTuber on Instagram has posted some unprecedented insights into the life of Greta Thunberg in recent weeks .

One of many surprise 46knot gusts we experienced on our North Atlantic crossing .. On this occasion we had a full main and jib out. 16 to 46 knots of wind in less than 40 seconds. We were warned about these crazy weather systems, and it was so good for us to see how our boat handled (and how we handled) in a moment of intense stress. Like a freaking boss! @_nikkihenderson at the helm, @ riley.whitelum trying to pull down the main and myself assisting with a camera in my mouth pulling lines, just finished making lunch, clearly unprepared. Hahaha. We were pumped with adrenaline for a very long time after this event. We can't wait to share the videos with you. We're expecting to have the first video edited and released to you before Christmas! #sailinglavagabonde #gretathunberg Song by Jimmy Pinch

Greta Thunberg with desperate mail shortly before Christmas: "How is that possible?"

Update from December 24, 2019: The Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is considered the light figure of a youth movement for climate and environmental protection . On all sides, she is praised as the one who managed to draw society's attention to climate change worldwide - and ultimately forced politics to put the issue on the political agenda. But she herself does not seem so convinced of the effect of her movement. A topic that will probably concern her shortly before Christmas .

The 16-year-old seems to be gradually despairing that there is a lot of talk at political level , but nothing or too little is being done. She said that not only in a television interview after her arrival in Madrid on the sidelines of the climate conference . Her speech at the UN conference itself made it clear. The message is: “You are not acting. You just don't do anything. ”Specifically, she says:“ The facts are still being ignored ”. A few days before Christmas, she gives way to her frustration on Twitter: “Not even disasters like this seem to lead to political action. How is that possible? ”Greta speaks of the bush fires that have raged in Australia for months.

For Thunberg, a year that is certainly very extreme is slowly coming to an end. She spent months at sea, traveled the United States and Europe and was and is celebrated by young and old in the western world - or abused . Hardly anyone is neutral about Thunberg and its content. But the post seems to make it clear that after all the hustle and bustle, it does not necessarily weigh in the Christmas spirit: "Because we fail to make the connection between the climate crisis and increased extreme weather conditions and natural disasters," Thunberg wrote in a post on Twitter to the Australian bushfires.

Not even catastrophes like these seem to bring any political action. How is this possible?
Because we still fail to make the connection between the climate crisis and increased extreme weather events and nature disasters like the #AustraliaFires
That's what has to change.
Now. https://t.co/DQcZViKJQz

The connection between global warming and massive and increased fire disasters has been scientifically proven. Nevertheless, the conservative Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is against "ruthless climate goals that destroy jobs". Meanwhile, the fires still threaten the metropolis of Sydney. More than a million hectares of land have already been burned - an area roughly a quarter the size of Switzerland.

In Germany there could soon be numerous Greta Thunbergs who stir up politics. This is suspected by a judge who has been dealing with human rights for years.

"I can not understand at all ...": ARD moderator interferes in the Greta debate

Declaration of origin from December 23, 2019: Munich - Has Greta Thunberg started a new movement with "Fridays for Future"? Not all see it that way. EKD Council Chairman Heinrich Bedford-Strohm has now claimed that the Christian churches have been pioneers of the climate protection movement . "The climate protection movement expresses something that the Christian churches have repeatedly brought to the public for decades," said the President of the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany to the "Passauer Neue Presse".

The church's commitment to the preservation of creation "probably also helped to prepare the ground for this topic to finally come to the fore by young people from 'Fridays for Future'," said the bishop.

Cologne's Archbishop Rainer Maria Cardinal Woelki made a similar statement . The preservation of creation had been a topic of the Christian churches long before Greta Thunberg, said the Catholic churchman of the "Bild" newspaper. In the debate about climate protection, Woelki recognizes "religious traits": "For some, climate protection has adopted certain religious traits," he said in the interview.

ARD moderator intervenes in Greta debate

Dieter Nuhr nags at her, and even Donald Trump is derogatory. The displeasure about the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg seems great - and the TV presenter Jörg Pilawa (54) does not understand it. "I can not understand at all how you can get upset about someone like Greta," he told the editorial network Germany (RND). "I think the excitement comes only because we all know it's right."

He has not been flying within Germany for years, but is taking the train . In addition, he has been driving an electric car for five years and also uses the bicycle, said Pilawa, who lives in Hamburg. He also expects his children to act in an environmentally conscious manner: "They cannot go to the demo on Fridays, but then want to be driven somewhere by car instead of taking the bike on Saturdays."

Jörg Pilawa (ARD) praises Greta Thunberg - she continues to demonstrate

The 16-year-old climate activist demonstrated together with other Fridays for Future supporters in front of the Swedish parliament on Friday. Her climate strike had started there more than a year ago.

Accompanied by the "Time" magazine, which was recently declared Personality of the Year in 2019 , Thunberg was accompanied by several security guards . Thunberg last traveled in a sailboat across the Atlantic to the UN climate summit in New York (here is her speech on Merkur.de) and then back to the climate conference in Madrid .

ARD presenter Pilawa on Greta Thunberg - award for the "Time" magazine

Thunberg told the Swedish news agency TT that it hopes that the "Time" magazine award "will raise awareness of the campaign and motivate others to participate". The 16-year-old has not yet announced her plans for the next few months.

Pilawa, however, is happy about the time off at the end of the year. “For the first time in years, I don't have to work around Christmas and New Year and can be with my family and spend this time with them,” he told dpa. In previous years Pilawa, who lives in Hamburg, was in front of the camera on ARD on New Year's Eve as the moderator of the "New Year's Show with Jörg Pilawa". The show was recorded for the first time this year and, unlike before, is no longer live.
