University of Helsinki gives Greta Thunberg a Doctorate of Theology
2023-03-21
[Hot Air] Climate Change is a religion. We all know that.

The University of Helsinki has decided to make that official by giving Greta Thunberg an honorary Doctorate of Theology at the ripe old age of 20.

Pretty sure she hasn’t graduated from High School, but maybe I am wrong. I thought she dropped out to become a climate change activist. Now that she is Dr. Thunberg she can glue herself to Volkswagens or something. Isn’t that what activists with Ph. D.s do these days?

#11  Is it a doctorate of cult propaganda?

#10  "Doctorate of Theology"

Because we all know it is their religion.

#7  Further proving that the Univ of Helsinki is no longer an institution of higher learning and that it has become a woke propaganda machine that has not real value in society.

#6  So they're finally admitting that the whole climate thing is a religion?

And can we now get it out of our schools and public policy because, you know, separation of church and state?

#5  I expect that she will be demanding to be called Dr Greta. Maybe Fred can issue some honorary degrees in Snark to keep us competitive in today’s marketplace of ideas.

#1  1 of 30 Honorary Doctorates awarded by University of Helsinki went to an autistic, mentally challenged child with Asperger syndrome.

NOTE: In Sweden, upper secondary schooling (11 years plus) is considered to be optional, and would have consisted of grades 10 through 12.

According WiKi, Greta only finished the 10 years of compulsory secondary schooling. With no upper secondary schooling.


In short, Greta is now a 20-year-old, 9th grader, with a Doctorate degree.
