wow, guys, may i ask why the shade?

The need to prop a literal drama teen as the leading expert on climate change is absolutely insulting to real scientists who research this subject.

I don't know how to explain that I'm not interested in fundamentally uninteresting things.

Scientists are fucking geeks who jerk it to hentai at the end of the day and the world leaders don't listen to them or respect them anyway, but SHE does and that's the entire point.

idk where dumbasses get this stupid af idea that she's an expert when whe never proclaimed herself to be. She's just an activist trying to make a difference.

I find every part of this to be a very bizarre comment, truthfully. You sound confused on the subject.
If by 'drama teen' you mean that she is acting as though the issue of climate change is more serious than it is, may I ask why you think that? In what sense are her concerns misplaced or misguided?
By whom do you claim she being touted as the 'leading expert on climate change'? I haven't heard any such claim either from her or anyone else. Quite the opposite, rather, I hear her urging people to learn the science and listen to the experts (even though, frankly, she seems more than knowledgeable enough to be entitled to speak publicly on the subject.. I would argue we all have a right to speak up about it anyway).
I listen to a lot of climate scientists and have heard multiple express admiration and appreciation for Greta, and not a single one express anything resembling offense or resentment. Have you?

Oh, interesting. Do you mean that you find the subject of climate change or Greta uninteresting, or both?

Specifically a documentary about Greta.

I literally study climate change. And just because you haven't heard people laud her as an expert doesn't mean people aren't doing just that. By "drama teen" I meant that she comes from a wealthy family that is heavily involved in theater. I don't think you've researched her as well as you think. She's consistently being put on panels alongside actual scientists when she has nothing to offer.

So here we are again, who is crediting her with a level of expertise that exceeds her actual expertise?

is any of this relevant? describing her as a 'drama teen' sounds like a way to dismiss her.. why?

she offers headlines, PR and attention for the issue as well as a young human face showing emotion about it, all of which are unfortunately badly needed, and you know that's what she offers

Goddamn she's becoming so rich from this...

has she toured a single asian or middle eastern country yet?
