Climate Activist Greta Thunberg Is Nothing If Not Effective in Raising Awareness
Remarkably, conservatives disapprove of the teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, on the basis that she’s an angry child who should be in school rather than making noise about a branch of science that she doesn’t fully understand.
To me, it’s simple. She’s done more in her young life to raise awareness on climate change and other environmental sustainability issues than literally any other person on the planet. Does that do anything for you?
Her message is clear and concise: Our civilization is ignoring the pleas of our scientists, and insofar as this is true, we are dooming ourselves to the massive destruction of all living and physical systems that keep humankind alive. We are dawdling, procrastinating, creating legal loopholes, engaging in creative accounting, pointing fingers, distracting, speechifying–anything but taking the action to cut emissions sufficiently to save ourselves from catastrophe.
