The company pointed out to the teenager that it would have been even nicer if you had also reported how friendly and competently our team served you at your seat in first class.

Doesnt invalidate the science that climate change is a serious threat which needs serious solutions.

But it does invalidate the image she and her people try so very hard to portray.

Looks like the company took it as a knock against them, which Greta didn't seem like she was trying to do.

This topic reminds me of all the times anyone has farted.

It's always bullshit with environmentalists.

David Suzuki owns 2 oil companies.
Al Gore flies by private jet and own 3 homes with multiple getting systems.
This chick hauls a fucking camera crew around with her so she can sail to the UN and then send those people home by private jet, rather than just coming herself ob a single plane seat.

It's all PR bullshit.

How does first class contribute quite alot to global warming compared to a regular train cabin @darkphoenix181

Train is way less than a coach seat.
First class is a whole lot more emissions because of the space it takes up.

Also, these facts come from a piece praising Greta when she sailed intead of flew as the prince flew and got into heat for it.

Ironically, now Greta flies and gets defended.
Hmmmmmmmm

Flights produce greenhouse gases - mainly carbon dioxide (CO2) - from burning fuel. These contribute to global warming when released into the atmosphere.
An economy-class return flight from London to New York emits an estimated 0.67 tonnes of CO2 per passenger, according to the calculator from the UN's civil aviation body, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
That's equivalent to 11% of the average annual emissions for someone in the UK or about the same as those caused by someone living in Ghana over a year.
Aviation contributes about 2% of the world's global carbon emissions, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). It predicts passenger numbers will double to 8.2 billion in 2037..

"The climate effect of non-CO2 emissions from aviation is much greater than the equivalent from other modes of transport, as these non-CO2 greenhouse gases formed at higher altitudes persist for longer than at the surface and also have a stronger warming potential," Eloise Marais, from the Atmospheric Composition Group, at the University of Leicester, told BBC News.

Train virtually always comes out better than plane, often by a lot. A journey from London to Madrid would emit 43kg (95lb) of CO2 per passenger by train, but 118kg by plane (or 265kg if the non-CO2 emissions are included), according to EcoPassenger.

@darkphoenix181 are you under the impression that this is about a first class flight?

Yes, I thought post #8 would been accurate.
So good for her.
She is better than other heroes who indeed do fly first class flights.

It's not like first class vs coach is going to cause any more pollution on either a train or a plane, so that seems pointless. Now, her taking vanity shots like the whole ordeal is so bothersome and then actually being comfy the whole time is a reason for criticism.

You know the only reason the train company whined about her not thanking for giving her first class was because Greta twittered a picture of her sitting on the floor in the train...

I'm not mad at her. It is dumb to be mad at her. She is not fucking writing this she is being used as a puppet.

Talk about rent free....

You'd have to be a fairly ignorant and stupid person to expect anyone trying to enact widescale ecological change would somehow be able to avoid using our infrastructure which is built almost entirely around greenhouse gas emitting vehicles. The entire point is that eco-friendly alternatives are literally too inconvenient and expensive to use still. They are put in this situation by the problem they are trying help fix.

It's all just terribly transparent concern trolling.

Despite being a political moderate who dislikes Republicans, I think it's absolutely fair to point out hypocrisy of environmental activists, if anything just because it's more effective to lead by example than pouting and accusing people.

Explain how a first class train compartment is environmentally worse or shut the fuck up
