Youre talking to someone who actually assesses forest inventory and health for 30 counties of the state I live in. Her grandstanding has done nothing aside from making herself a martyr.

Has she actually devised an environmental strategy for climate change?
Not her fucking job. Have you devised a comprehensive solution for all the things you complain about?

Actually, please don't. I've seen the things that you complain about.

Draw attention to climate destruction and the failure of those in power to deal with it.

Everyone outside of Trumps circle knows about climate change and its effects. She hasnt made a single suggestion about how to solve it. How dare you.

It isn't a 20 year old activists job to solve it. That is for climate scientists to come up with the solution and for government officials and industry leaders to enact those solutions (preferably with a scaling penalty for refusing to do so.)

Im not asking her to solve it (it literally cant be done). Im asking her to stop grandstanding on an issue that people have been working tirelessly on.

Wholly irrelevant. (This is where you pretend my answer to this question would have changed your response)

If you think someone protesting and raising awareness is "grandstanding", that's more than a little odd.

Nope. Nobody died and made you king of all the environmentalists.

You've just got some issues with certain groups of people.

Never said they did. But Im definitely more educated on the issue than someone like you or Greta. Which groups of people are you referring to?

Realistically, what are you expecting? A 20ish year old woman to suddenly think of a magical solution no one else has thought of yet? Walk us through your logic here.

Im expecting someone who comes from wealth and is so vehemently against climate change to have at least one suggestion to mitigate the change. But she doesnt have any.

If my daily efforts to conserve nature vs some wealthy girl who has never measured a site makes you want to vomit then you have a much larger issue.

What have you done for the environment lately?

All any given individual should be expected to do is to behave in a responsible way on a day to day basis.

ensure you are properly disposing of potentially hazardous waste instead of just trash binning mindlessly, make use of second hand goods when possible to extend the time things are kept out of landfills

She is on the ground protesting the companies that are ruining the habitability of this planet for us. That's more than almost anyone will ever do...and it's important work when we have sizeable groups of people who deny that climate change is happening

What is it you do? Purely curious not as a gotcha of any kind

Shes not useful to them anymore

I honestly didnt like her when she was younger. I figured her for a spoiled limousine liberal who just jumped on a fad and went full bore once it launched her into global news.

Since then, it seems she has made serious efforts, and has been living the life (even if its on someone elses dime). She decided thats who she wants to be, an activist, and so Ive grown to like her more.

That being said, the cynic in me does often think activism is pointless. I know it has worked, historically, but it generally has a low success rate. Theres also the issue that activism tends to be a life for the privileged or the homeless, and the working class frequently is underrepresented. But thats just grumpy old mutterings.

Greta is doing what she believes in, and while her life is enviable, the choices she makes regardless speak to character I have some respect for.

No matter our origin, we are all one family, we all share one planet, and we all need to feel loved and accepted. We are more alike than different.

Israel called her antisemitic for having an octopus plushy in the background of a video she filmed in her bedroom. They said octopuses are a symbol of antisemitism.

Some people said the same last November about a contestant on a British quiz show - a hijab-wearing woman, of course - whose team had a similar toy as a mascot. They also said her clothes were in the colours of the Palestinian flag (they weren't) and claimed this was a celebration of the 7 October attack - even though the episode was recorded months earlier.

I was wondering why this topic blew up.

Then why the fuck haven't YOU solved fracking or clear cutting in the United States? I mean since you expect Greta to solve Climate Control issues.

Because fracking isnt in my wheelhouse and clear cuts are largely done on plantations that specifically grow one type of tree (typically pine, which grows very quickly). I also do prescribed, low intensity burns, but the knee jerk reaction to that isnt typically the most educated.

The effects of human activity since the Industrial Revolution to now are too huge. The only thing we can do now is mitigate the effects by heavily taxing large corporations for their carbon emissions, but plenty of selfish countries (the U.S. included) have opted out of that or havent even tried.

I assess forest health and inventory. I work with private landowners and the general public to meet conservational needs while promoting sustainable practices.
