As a woman, this angers me. As a human being, this disgusts me. The fact that a representative of a company is okay with the idea of promoting sexual assault on anyone and sees that it is totally fine just shows how sickening some of those in power truly are. Greta’s response was pure class. She didn’t take it personally. Instead, she used it to remind people of what she truly stands for.
They are starting to get more and more desperate…

Global Commons, Domestic Decisions: The Comparative Politics of Climate Change
by Kathryn Harrison et al
Comparative case studies and analyses of the influence of domestic politics on countries' climate change policies and Kyoto ratification decisions.
