"Name recognition" does not equate to trust, confidence, etc. Just because a name is recognized does not mean it's respected. Irregardless of who we are talking about, I do believe that. So.... if the name that is being recognized no longer suits the person using it, then stop using it.

(I hope that makes sense)

Greta has outlived her usefulness to the theater masters. 

 

They're replacing a girl that no one took seriously, with someone people might actually listen to.

I don't believe that Greta was ever a spokesperson for the U.N.  Just an advisor... and Sophia will be the same.

Feel free to correct me, if I'm mistaken.

It's getting old having pre-teen & teenagers telling me what is wrong with the world. We know that & come up with a solution. Work with brainiacs that can think up solutions.

How is their face on TV going to help greenhouse gases?

I never understood how a 19-year old could be a climate change advisor ANYWAY.

I mean what on earth can a 19-year old ADVISE on a topic that SHOULD require post-graduate scientific degrees - not politicians' law or POLI-SCI degrees!

I don't believe that Greta had any serious credibility. No big loss. I saw her as a "gimmick" to get some attention. Frankly, I found her annoying. Listening to her made me want to shut my ears to anything about climate issues and I know I'm not unique in this regard. As Kat Palmiotti said, name recognition does not equate to trust, confidence, respect.

We recently replaced a "name recognition" and it was a very good thing because not all names, recognized or not, are good names nor do they represent the good of the people.

HEY Fred Griffin Florida Real Estate I would assume that they would dump Gretta because she is such an angry person and comes across as a real shrew. If they can find another youth that can say what Gretta says but melts hearts with her good looks I'd kick Gretta to the curb as well.

Just because she had some fire in her didn't mean that she was the right person in the long run to be their spokesperson. 

On a real estate related note- The United Nations has a credit union division, one of the best places to help foreign nationals obtain financing and they are also pretty good with financing untraditional properties- i.e. they might be unwarrantable properties.

Interesting topic Fred.

 

I always like Colonel Sanders for Kentucky Fried Chicken.

 

Mr. Rogers for family and goodness.

 

Also liked  Walt Disney himself (not corporation) back in the day as the spokesman for kids, fun and the Wonderful World of Color

 

Smokey the Bear for Forest Fire prevention

 

Today, I guess Greta is evidently the "green lady"

 

Spokespeople are still with us for sure.
