    I shudder to think that Greta is attributed to Conservation in the same breath as Steve Irwin!

    Greta should be at home and in school and preparing to live her life as an adult. If she as an adult became a climate activist and held the Top-7 or Top-10 or Top-20 corporations accountable, sure that would be commendable.

    Nothing gets done blaming others and while taking no action against the wrongdoers. yourself

      She’s 21. she’s been an adult for a few years now. She is still a climate activist and is still holding corporations accountable and she is still commendable.

      Nothing gets done blaming others and taking no action yourself.

      You’re literally complaining that she decided to take action too soon for your taste.

        Silly me for pointing out that sensationalism and performance-activism hasnt done anything worth a dime or nickel to reign in the perpetrators of the climate catastrophe.

        If Greta or similar persons could get a climate science degree and perhaps a political or law education and work to take down the system from within, perhaps we could stand a chance.

        Spray-painting Van Gogh or the Stone Henge isnt solving anything. Neither is sailing around on a yatch around the world helping.
