Ah good point. I should have been born to millionaire parents who hired a publicist for me that would tell everyone I was going to take a gap year when I was 16 and fly around the world going to climate conferences. You win this one, congrats.
Hey, wonderful! This guy over here has done less gamage to the environment than a child climate activist with money! He has single handedly averted the climate apocalypse in doing so!
See, it isn’t a fucking competition about who’s fucking the world less, it’s about all of us not fucking the world up to extinction. We don’t get there by being good little green boys while nothing is done about the affluent, the powerful, and the conglomerates. And guess what, nobody is doing anything about them, and I’m not about to get angry at a child for desperately calling that out even if she can’t do anything else about it.
IMO her argument is that we need to rework the system, providing more people with better access to public transport so everyone can reduce their damage without needing to sacrifice their day to day function, so it’s really irrelevant whether our damage is more or less in comparison to hers.

A lot of rich kids just become spoiled and rich. What Greta did was special.
Both can be true.
Yeah, I would have but I’m not rich or have the time so I couldn’t. Good thing she’s doing it.

But tell me what movement did you help to gain traction? Or who listens to what you have to say?

So everything someone says because they’re wealthier than you is invalid or what? Just stfu.

The affluent, powerful and conglomerates all support her, yet there has been negative action on climate change, I wonder why that is?

So you’re just envious that nobody is applauding for you?
Yep. People that criticize charlatans are just jealous, you figured it out.
I think if my parents were multimillionaires I would be even more busy enjoying my life than fighting a fight with uneven odds.
Of course coming from a stable background makes it easier to be an activist, but it is still far from easy to devote your life to one cause.
