It's a shame Greta Thunberg's advisors, assistants, helpers, etc all fly around getting supplies & setting up meetings. Instead of, you know, the more carbon-efficient method of traveling the ocean via maritime ships.
Great Thunberg's coterie of helpers have a larger carbon footprint than the majority of us.
But hey ... at least it's not as bad as Prince Harry, who said every action matters (when telling the plebeians to stop their commercial air travel habit), and then took 4 private flights over the next two weeks.
Gotta love Gulfstream environmentalists.

- andrepd 7y agoShe sailed across the Atlantic in an 18m carbon-neutral boat, but that still isn't enough for some people. Sheesh.
- vogre 7y agoShe would be very surprised if she see water cost of her hi-tech carbon-free yacht.
- mamon 7y agoAnd to prepare her trip 5 professional sailors needed to take trans-atlantic flights to US, in order to bring her boat back to Europe (boat belongs to Monaco monarchs) - so her "carbon-neutral" trip actually generates 5 times more CO2 than if she simply bought a plane ticket.

- atoav 7y agoYeah. Bloody environmentalists! Even if they'd kill themself to safe the environment there'd be people like you, complaining that you'd done it in a much more environmental friendly way. Say a tiny bit more about you than it says about the topic at hand. Grow up.
