Why is it so hard to get a good Role-model for climate change activism.

I used to be fairky active about climate change but now that Greta came along I had to distance myself from most organizations as many seem to praise or support her. It is such a shame we cant have role models in climate change we can look up to.

I think it's pretty simple. Whatever science there is to support man made climate change, the movement has been weaponized for political purposes and power resulting in an infestation of grifters and authoritarians hoping to use it to give themselves moral superiority and shut up any opposition.

@AtlasFreeman I mean there is little doubt climate change is real and very serious. To deny that would be on par with being a flat earther cnsidering how obvious this reality is.

With that said there is no doubt it is weaponized when it should be an unquestionable reality at this point.

@freemo

I don't think planetary scale events can be an obvious reality for everyone. For majority of people such knowledge will need to be based entirely on trust and belief in others, and moving things from the field of science into politics makes it that much more confusing. It is actually a sign that the scientist have failed(so far) to do their job here, at least the social part of it.
