Australia’s most high-profile child psychologist says he fears for Greta Thunberg.

The 16-year-old girl has rapidly become the world’s most high-profile climate change activist, with her impassioned speech at the United Nations climate conference making headlines worldwide.

“Can I make it clear I’m not a climate changer denier, I actually think we do need to be doing more about saving the plant.
