Not sure how to explain the lack of journalism being an issue but I would say that there's abundant information, not news. It used to be that a person can only get news from several sources, now with Internet, we find so much more sour

Her point was that politicians should listen to the science/scientists, not her. She represents the future generations and the 4 million+ recent climate strike protests.

It is not exactly jumping the shark as the global climate strike protests were planned between 20-27 September with her leading it. With millions of people turning out, the media will put it in the news too, so you'll hear more of it.

Speak to a supermarket owner/manager. You would not believe how much packaging exists for a simple apple or similar. You would see an unpackaged apple at the end of the process and be none the less aware about the plastics involved. Ma
