It is not her job to go all over the world for your pleasure. It is everyone's responsibility to be mindful of the environment. So be sensible.
its not about pleasure. But if she's so into the cause, why doesnt she go where its truly most dire? Of course its everybody's, but its like going to Beverly Hills, Califoonia and lecturing/scolding/yelling about innner city crime in Detroit. Just go straight to the jugular and go to Detroit.
She went to the Americas to attend the International climate summits in New York and Chile etc. I would use your favourite word
'disingenuous' but I am not about to waste my time calling out fucking middle aged men attacking a 16yr old for fighting for something she believes in . It is an insane inversion of reality in which the same men ( as in YOU Brock) who would bemoan the younger generation not doing anything but look at their phones and games are now getting on their high horse about a 16 yr old who has already sailed across the Atlantic and got boots in their millions on the ground.
You do not even have to agree with her, or believe in climate change, but if she is what you all consider to be an acceptable target to launch your fucking feeble entitled bile towards, you must be pretty lame in real life.
There are Saddos and there are absolute fucking rotters. I would much rather be a Saddo.
Adult professionals, many of whom have a genuine concern for the environment, were at those summits. Having a 16-year old Swedish girl from a well-to-do background scolding them like so many naughty children is, IMHO, not the best look nor strategy to resolve the world's environmental crisis.
Contrary to what you and many others may think, some of us still feel this was a calculated, sensationalist stunt pulled off by adults behind the scenes. Whether the effect was positive or not remains to be seen, I guess. But suffice it to say that those who do not believe there is anything wrong with the environment or the climate change, are not about to be swayed to the other side by a yelling, grimacing teenaged girl.
It is also a verifiable fact that most of the world's pollution and climate damaging man-made activities are occurring, and have been occurring for many years, in the very nations being mentioned here on this thread. To ignore that fact and continue driving the nail into the more progressive nations is a bit of foolish selective targeting, if you ask me. I'd rather see efforts to encourage/coerce offending nations to step in line, or risk economic and diplomatic sanctions.
