How dare you! Climate-sensitive snail named after Greta Thunberg
Autistic climate activist Greta Thunberg has received a new accolade from the scientific community, and people are saying it’s something.
To mark all of her achievements, a team of researchers has decided to endow her with arguably the greatest honor of all: … named a snail after her.
The ‘Craspedotropis gretathunbergae’ is a new species of temperature-sensitive land snail discovered by Taxon expeditions in the forests of Borneo.
“The newly described snail belongs to the so-called caenogastropods, a group of land snails known to be sensitive to drought, temperature extremes and forest degradation,” said snail expert Menno Schilthuizen, co-founder of Taxon.
Now personally I can see she is manipulated into positions she has no real concepts of and loses control when her emotions and space is overwhelmed, but her parents have pushed her into these places for their own left wing agendas and greed.
But is this latest stunt of naming a snail after her really a thinly veiled joke at her mental condition? Associating her with a slow and perceived brainless snail is insulting to everyone who suffers from autism, her greedy child exploiting parents will be delighted as the millions continue to roll in but for others around the world, this is a massive slur on the illness.
