Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old climate activist who inspired school walkouts across the world, has stopped flying because of the carbon jets emit.
Instead, she's sailing to the U.S. from the U.K on a zero-emissions vessel.

Let the child be a child. It’s great that she’s stepping up or being guided to step up. But not every thing she does is news worthy. Sailing is this case seems more drama than value. Celebrityhood is not healthy.

She's a 16 year old SAILING accross the ocean to fight for something she believes in. This is absolutely newsworthy.

It's called Morals, something our $ system doesn't care about it, in fact, at present, $ is amoral, it can be used for good or bad, but often bad is more profitable

I note that people aren't talking about the movement she helped create; it's all Culture of Celebrity shit about her, personally.

To clarify, since a lot of climate change deniers are liking this, my concern is that celebrity culture is being used to distract from the core issue, since fawning over a telegenic personality doesn't threaten corporate bottom lines like meaningful climate action would.
