With so much anxiety about the future, I find that many youths are extremely concerned about their studies in high school/etc, so that they can go to a good university. For her to care more about the environment than her schooling seems rather inspirational to me. It's not like she did not go to school for just a day, she's missed months.
All I can say to that is that my own attitude towards my studies or school attendance at that age was not exactly diligent.

I think this is a fair point, but I also wonder how anyone can still be environmentally agnostic and what we can do to change their minds.
The most obvious psychological problem with climate change is that it's invisible, and people struggle to reconcile seemingly-harmless actions with their consequences in a somewhat abstract global system. If a condition of flying long haul was tipping gallons and gallons of oil into the sea in front of each passenger's eyes*, there would be a horrified reaction and much more self-analysis about how much they really needed that holiday to Thailand. But as it stands, you fly long-haul and nothing appears to change. You can't see the damage. And so the reality doesn't sink in.
Because the issue is so large, so incremental and so hard to intuitively grasp, a lot of people remain unconvinced by just how bad it really is. And I've noticed a lot of people basically think the environmental lobby is just alarmist - they're exaggerating, they're virtue signalling, they're hypocrites, and so on. There's so much bad news, pushed so relentlessly, that people become either desensitised or hopeless.
Obviously we need to keep the environment at the front of the agenda, I'm not denying that. And I've got no problem with what she's doing, or that we have this "face" of a movement. It's more the coverage around her that's annoying - how repetitive and ultimately banal most of it is. I think it's in danger of becoming just another example of the left being too histrionic and frankly too irritating to win over the unconverted. Don't keep telling us the same unconvincing over and over again. People will turn off.
*Just a visual example, not a direct comparison with what flying long haul does.

Scientists have been hitting the alarm bells since the 80s.
Mostly ignored.
40 years later, all the signs that the alarm bells were supposed to signal are here. A little girl stands on the mic.
Mostly vilified. Especially by those who profit.
I'd rather side with her and be wrong, than side with the naysayers, and take a risk to be very wrong indeed.

Conservatives were on and on how shes been propped up by the RADICAL DEMS.
Rush Limbaugh: This is child abuse, they should be ashamed of themselves for exploiting this girl with aspergers.
Caller: lHi Rush, long time listener, first time caller. I am a teacher at a local school for children with disabilities and I WAS APPALLED when I found out she was high autism ... (interrupt)
Rush Limbaugh: Yes, High Functioning Autism!
Caller: Yes, Rush.
Rush Limbaugh: Theyve been saying the same thing for forty years.
According to conservatives the climate change movement is AOCs plan to seize the means of production.

The models are based off of the Navier Stokes equations (with some tweaking of course).
We still dont know if the NS Non-Linear model of viscosity/turbulence render correctness (highbrow mathematical formalism that, um, proves the truthiness of the mathematical statement).
I dont know, our scientific models are quite primitive.
What I believe?
The defense department already uses some form of Casimir free energy,

I disagree, bitch.
Climate is a social construct developed by the reptilian overlords to distract us while they find a way to reproduce with us

If climate change seals our fate then I recommend you all upload your consciousness to TA while there's still time

climate is under non stop change. Comparing different ages of earth to this where we live is still pretty cool. CO2 is not a problem, CO2 is a bliss. When CO2 levels were high, earth was full of giant animals (dinosaurs) and plants.
Greta is a cliche of girl from nazi propaganda posters. People who use her as a tool in their dirty propaganda games should rather help her with her mental problems

The bad news for ignorant, backwards, PiS-supporting wits like you is that climate change will up your country just the same whether you try to deny it's a problem or not.

That's great news I love dinosaurs, can't wait for them to come back!

my brother too is a polish man with incomplete thoughts. you know when those c02 levels were high 02 levels were much higher than they are today????
climate has always been under change, however, the increased use of c02 has significantly altered the change. you may not see it because your inbred ass was making babies with your relatives since you were 12 and you want to pay less for heating
