>I do not understand the hate she consistently gets specifically in the anglosphere. I'm not sure about the hate. She is a young girl who is passionate about the climate. Great! But because she is a young person, she is being used by activists as cover and a mouthpiece for their views, because you can't criticize a 16 year old for the reason you demonstrated - you get called out for being mean to a young person. Also, 16 year olds are not a good resource for setting complicated geo-political policies. They just aren't. They have a very shallow and superficial understanding of the issues because they have no life, professional or academic experience .. which is why they make a good vessels for dishonest activists. For example, if carbon emissions are as terrible as IPCC report makes them out to be, nuclear energy HAS to be on the table as the primary driver for decommissioning coal and natural gas plants. But she's against it because older dishonest activists are against it and she's parroting their views that we can cut emissions without nuclear. >She's got this highly logical, consequential way of thinking that I've only seen in much older, highly successful people before. She's 16. Don't project things you want to be true. >What's so terrible about that? Nothing. But she's also not saying anything new. Everyone sees the IPCC numbers.
