We need more like her who take the threat as a threat and act like it’s a threat.

Being “serious” or calm about it is not working, and catastrophically so.

Exactly. They’ve come here to troll and look for a fight. Don’t engage them.

Your response is a troll response. In no way do you engage in the topic or the argument

While you may think slacktivism is valuable. I don’t.

She just babbles and has no solution to the problem. She’s addicted to the media attention.

As voters we need to push politicians to make changes and in America that is through taxation and not bans.

Biden has pushed stupid legislation that won’t accomplish anything.

You want to reduce ice cars? Increase gasoline taxes and remove subsidies. Gas would double in price with would reduce the miles people drive and the size of their cars.

The problem is it’s a global problem and everyone needs to pitch it.

Hmm… seems like you should thank her.

Because she participated in that protest, she got arrested, a news source wrote about it, and you got to bring up good points about how we need to take more action.

Yeah she babbles speaks about the issues, but since she’s not (yet?) an elected official, what else would you have her do?

Personally I’d like to see her go away. She does nothing to help in my opinion and gives credit it’s a crazy conspiracy. She just comes off as an idiot.

The way you make change is vote for people that want to make real changes. Not stupid crap like carbon credits. People that have real ideas.

You talk to your friends about it. I’ve got several people to switch to teslas and solar power. It requires logic and facts.

Just babbling like an idiot turns people off and they don’t think a thing but made up conspiracy.

You’re still advocating individual car ownership as a sustainable future…buses, trams, trolleys, LRT, trains. 6000lbs (2200kilos) just to get a few groceries is over kill.

Maybe you don’t live in America but for the foreseeable future, that is the solution. The first step is a reduction in using fossil fuels. Public transportation would take decades to build out to a useable level in America.

Did you even read the article? That’s literally what they’re calling for. The removal of subsidies.

As for everyone needing to pitch in, just no. The vast majority of emissions come from sources outside public control. The “everyone needs to pitch in” and “watch your personal carbon footprint” crap is just effective marketing from BP.

Not saying cutting down personal emissions is bad, every little helps…

but it’s not a solution. We need to be holding the big emmiters accountable.

The only realistic way to doing that is through inconvenient protests like blocking roads and making sure we can’t be ignored. How else do you force governments to turn on their benefactors?

It’s been over 50 years now, and we’ve seen very little real movement on this. it’s been mostly token and empty gestures, and pandering. It’s time we stepped up our game.

Soooo she’s got the right idea imo

Addicted to the attention? I know nothing about her except her age and her stance on climate change

She doesn’t go off topic, she doesn’t do talk shows. Maybe she loves the attention deep down, but she stays on mission…She doesn’t abuse the privilege. She’s allowed to enjoy the process, I hope she does.

I challenge you to follow your convictions to that extent

She doesn’t abuse the privilege

Like when she threw the fit that the train didn’t give her first class. Yep, doesn’t abuse her privilege at all.

    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
