Funny meme and all, but I kind of hate how people dog on Greta for caring about the world. Like talk about how “ineffective” she is all you want, but she’s doing more than 99% of people, at least she tries.
I think some of it is the activism vs practice question. Who does more to curb climate change: someone protesting about it a lot, or someone who sits down and does the hard work of getting, say, a renewable energy engineering degree and designs next gen wind turbines? There's a decent argument for the latter - which is also a quiet, behind the scenes role that doesn't have the benefit of making you famous at the same time. There's a certain "Look at me" energy to all activists that can be pretty offputting. Just some thoughts.
