History proves you wrong :
Jeanne D’Arc - died 19
Blaise Pascal - mathematician at 11
William Sidis - went to Harvard at 11
Pablo Picasso - painted at 8
Bobby Fischer - chess Grand Master at 15
Mozart - died at 35, started composing as a child
There are long lists of child prodigies.
British Army you can join at 16
US Military you can join at 17
Legions and legions lied about their age to join the military in the various wars in the last 150 years.
Calvin Graham became the youngest decorated hero during WWII at the age of 12 as a Navy gunner.
Whats your problem with teenagers?

Umm all these kids actually achieved something, they found a solution to a problem, unlike Greta who runs at the mouth with zero solutions of issues she obviously has zero comprehension about. So yes, naturally people will tell her to go back to school. Also, the kids you mentioned were rare prodigies, let’s not pretend like that’s the standard and average teenagers know what they are talking about, they don’t.

Bingo...
We have a winner!
Boyan Slat started to change the World as a teenager.
But he ain't going to make any money to the media or to the minion politicians hiding behind the greed of corporations.

Fundamentally, the MSM of this world will always favor the “Gretas “
Greta is female.
She is from a socialist country
She is divisive
Her campaign promotes fear
The goal of her campaign is more government control
Boyan is male.
He is from a country that encourages capitalism
He solution unites people
His solution promotes industry
His solution offers hope.
This is so ingrained, just look at the the Title of this thread the the articles linked...
They all list Greta first...

Also top-heavy economies don't do to well.
The solution is actually better technology to take care of more folks without impacting the environment, most of that technology exists today, for example nuclear + near 100% recycling of everything. Ultimately most people would likely live and work underground with the surface in metro areas reserved for parks and leisure.
Ultra-long term, obviously need to get off the planet.

She has proposed solutions such as replanting forests, protect the existing ones, stop governments from subsidizing fossil fuels but you don't want to hear that do you?
