Greta Thunberg is a media confection.
Like most sixteen-year-olds, Greta knows not much about anything. But, also like most sixteen-year-olds, certainly myself at that age, she is supremely confident in the belief that she brings searing insights to whatever topic is at hand.
I think it's reasonable to conclude that Greta's insights are not her own, but rather, reflect the agenda of the grown-ups and the PR professionals around her.
If and when she unequivocally states that we cannot go forward under the current economic system, and we need a total society-wide rethink of capitalism, maybe I'll start paying attention.
Until that happens, she's just another side-show.
