It's a bit amusing today to wake up and look at the top ten headlines in Germany, and there is this 'complaint' story that has been lodged with the UN....over the nation of Germany by Greta Thunberg. Yes, Greta, along with some kids....wrote up a formal complaint against Germany, France, Argentina, Brazil and Turkey. The basis of the complaint....NOT enough has been done to solve climate control and C02 issues.
What'll happen now? Behind this is some unknown and unpublished law firm. Normally, law firms don't do work for free, so I'm kinda wondering about the agenda and who exactly is paying for this work.
My guess is that some UN committee will get the formal complaint, and go spend a year investigating it. Asking Chancellor Merkel questions? No....I kinda doubt that. They will come to the Environmental Minister (SPD Party gal) and ask formal questions of her, and she will say that not enough is being done. Then what?
Some UN committee by summer of 2020 will hype up a bit of negativity over the five nations, and oddly enough....play out a political game. Remember, the next German national election is the fall of 2021, and the next French national election is the spring of 2022. Brazil? October of 2022. Argentina? Fall of 2023.
Why not include the US? Unknown.

The complaint is being filed under the auspices of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.The US didn’t ratify this, so the US isn’t bound by it.
