An open letter to Greta

Dear Greta

Many look up to you as a heroine for your climate change activist; who knows, you might actually be sincere in your views. You may even be right about climate change.

I have trouble taking you seriously. Usually, I respect the opinions of people who know what they are talking about - meaning people who have the relevant education and work experience in a certain field and have had their theories or studies published and peer reviewed. An example would be doctors or scientists who make recommendations based on studies they did and published their works in reputable peer reviewed literature.

You, however are a high school dropout with no real work or life experience spouting out soundbites that seem to come from an experienced PR firm. With you, there is lots of whining and finger pointing, but no real solutions. Any fifth rate wannabee can complain, but a true leader provides solutions.

Greta, I wish you all the best. Really, I do. I have a feeling that the world won't be having to listen to you for much longer. You're a one trick pony. People get tired of these sort of people quickly. The people funding you will stop when people grow tired of you. You'll be dropped like a
lead weight and have a hard time adjusting to this new reality. So get out while you can.

Jack
