I’m guessing the author has long ignored the countless hypocritical leftist celebrities and govt officials who fly privately when they could fly commercial, fly at all when they could drive, drive SUVs when the could drive Priuses, drive at all when they could walk, and live in mansions when they could live far more humbly and energy efficiently.

Send her back to the 40’s so she can protest at Peenemünde.

Lol! Another “spend the money on Earth” moocher. A worthless taker. If you were looking for a useless bread gobbler any left-wing scribbler would fully qualify.

Yeah, all they do is just come out with their platitudes about carbon footprint nonsense as they use their private jets to go to climate change conferences.

Oh but those filthy rich guys have a plan for climate change. Humanism and Mars. Meld human and machine together so that they can live on Mars. If your body breaks down fully, just upload your conscious to a robot.

“concerned about the direction the planet” does NOT equal turn everything over to German government bureaucrats and Left wing Socialist tyrants.

We don’t have many Earth-loving folks where I live.

I see one or two amigos on bicycles, a few folks on the bus, and the rest driving motorized vehicles, half of which are huge.

thermostat - off
bicycle tires - full

If stopping so called Climate Change consists of reducing Co2 Emissions, the first step in the process is Building hundreds of Nuclear Power Plants.

You cannot produce enough non Co2 emitting Energy sources any other way. Hydro Electricity, Solar Panels and Windmills all have limitations.

I have read about producing energy using Ocean Currents, but I’m sure it would be a daunting project.

The only other way to reduce Humanity’s impact on the Climate is to reduce the size of Humanity, which would be the natural progression should the Leftists get their way.

And it really devaluates our efforts to protect the climate — both morally and materially.

Maybe most "global citizens" agree with the writer.

The vast majority of people on earth do not, because it is a con game calling itself "science".

A good demonstration of how the power elites will continue to do as they want. When we peons are sweltering or shivering in our darkened homes, are restricted from using our cars and face long lines at the grocery store for basic food all because of climate change restrictions, the elites will still have their SUVs, live in lavish homes and dine on the best food… you see some animals are more equal than others.

HAHAHA. I personally don’t really care if Bezos spends his own money to go to space. He is employing hundreds, if not thousands of people, for his hobbies. But this also reminds me of the same type of idiots complaining about the space program because it didn’t benefit blacks at the time. A very non PC book to enjoy...

The elites don’t care about making us swelter or freeze. They want 7 billion of us-not-them dead. They aren’t even hiding their genocidal Agenda (21, 30, 50) anymore. They are telling us they are going to kill us off - 95% of the population by 2030 according to their own documents. I don’t know why people aren’t hearing what they are saying.
