I think the cartoon continues to express itself correctly. Sometimes it's not about finding flaws on the other side and sitting there... spitballs at the ready to exploit any weakness in "the enemy."
Sometimes it's about seeing the forest and not the trees. It's about realizing that many of the ideas championed by some of these climate carers (not all are "alarmists", "doomsayers", "terrorists", whatever), such as the bullet points on the cartoon...... are not the enemy and may just even be good ideas. Gosh.... fancy that!
I come from a technical background. I studied and prepared for a LEED exam some years ago, back when demand was high for LEED professionals. (Didn't go through with it due to some sudden, pressing family issues). But many of the principles espoused by LEED were just plain old common sense. Much of what is in those bullets was also in LEED teaching material. Are we to lump in EVERYTHING environmentalists do and say together..... and use the "alarmist" label..... and look for convenient scapegoats like Greta in order to trash the whole premise of making our world a better place to live?
God, I hope not.
We have to broaden our minds and stop becoming polarized at the drop of a hat. Issues become hot buttons..... and anything and everything that is mentioned regarding these issues is lumped into one pole or the other. WTF?!?
