My question is, what do the universities gain from this practice ?
We all know they aren't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.
What is the quid pro quo ?
It smells when looked at from that angle -- not just GT, but ALL of the honorary degrees.
Cheers
If her busy schedule allows, the busy activist will not be able to graduate from high school until the summer of this year. The acceptance speech for receiving the honorary doctorate at the Theological Faculty of the University of Helsinki must now be interposed.
The climate activist will be attending high school in her hometown of Stockholm in Sweden until the summer of 2023, so she has not yet had a valid school leaving certificate in her much-decorated existence. In the summer of 2018, Thunberg began to protest in front of the Swedish parliament in Stockholm and attracted international attention with a targeted accompanying media campaign. In the same year she started her so-called “school strike for the climate”, only to meet the youth delegate for the German Society for the United Nations, Luisa Neubauer, purely by chance in December 2018 at the at the world climate summit in Katowice, Poland.
In 2019, Thunberg received the Alternative Nobel Prize and the German Sustainability Prize. Furthermore, the honorary award of the “About You Awards 2019” in the category “Empowerment” for her commitment as the initiator of the “Fridays for Future” movement. In October of the same year she was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Belgian University of Mons. In December, the Amnesty honorary title “Ambassador of Conscience” followed, as well as the German “Golden Camera” and the award “Woman of the Year” in Sweden.
For a short time, the young, busy businesswoman was also considered a hot candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, which was pushed by the media, but to the great disappointment of her worldwide fan base, this did not happen

Just more proof that the climate change movement is a cult.

What's the difference to Oprah?
Or other political, other social, cultural activists? The most hd has Daisaku Ikeda,
His accomplishments are honored internationally; in Japan he has been described as a "controversial figure" over several decades through the 1990s in relation to the political party Kōmeitō, which he founded, and has been the subject of libelous accusations in Japanese media.

I feel it just shows you don't understand the system.
It's not a recent Greta specific development. It's been that way since the 15th century.
I doesn't bestow her with immortality or the deed to your life.

Honorary degree, aka fake degree with no meaning.

Not a hypocrite at all.
Why do you say this?
Well if she drives or takes a plane, that would of course be spewing deadly CO2 into the atmosphere, contributing to man-made climate change.

Knowing the retards on the left, they'll expect her to do surgeries now, like Dr. Jill Biden does.
