    have you seen how she travels

    Honestly no, but however it is it’s part of her brand. She’s a climate change super star, she could literally spend the rest of her life putting her name on books written by ghost writers and make 10 times the amount really achievable by the working class. Everyone does some backpacking with questionable modes of transport in their 20s. Not everyone builds a media empire out of it.

    What expertise do you need to say “stop adding carbon to the atmosphere” at this point?

    None. Sadly however there is no “stop adding carbon to the atmosphere” button, and we need to figure out how to do it. You can ride your bike to work all you like, but the kind of reduction we need is going to come from polluting industries. Technology and governance is going to solve climate change, not cycling.

    You just come across as someone who has everything to lose wanting those with nothing to lose to sit down, shut up […]

    That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying that Greta isn’t promoting meaningful change.
