We can say more should be done without shaming everyone who flies on a plane. You alienate people who do not deserve it. The guy flying to Europe on business instead of taking a sail boat there doesn't need to be shamed.

Saying something that isn't true and has already been debunked makes them liars. And even beyond that it takes a special kind of person to say it's harder to buy cough medicine than a gun.
And please, folk call Trump a liar all the time over throw away comments.

Her unhinged rants are gonna get called out. It doesn't matter what your cause is if you sound unhinged.

I think part of the appeal of using her is any criticism can be deflected with "but you're going after this poor poor child!".
It's "won't someone think of the children" on steroids.
And speaking of kids I say teach them about climate change in the classroom instead of letting them take off school to protest about it. The kids can protest on the weekend if they need to protest.

And now there is talk of giving her the nobel peace prize, which will just exacerbate criticism because she just doesn't deserve it. Not for unhinged rants.

True, and that is a legitimate criticism of one of her arguments. I think planes are necessary means of transportation in the modern world, and I do not agree we should stop flying. However, rather than dismissing her completely, I think it's a good idea to aggressively look for ways to make all forms of transportation as fuel-efficient as possible, and powering them with clean renewable energy where possible.
That's fair enough. I've seen a few clips of her addressing politicians and an interview or two with media personalities. She doesn't strike me as childish, though. A bit naive and idealistic in her youth and inexperience at times, but she seems much more mature than most teenagers I knew growing up. Certainly more than the adult children calling her names.

My personal favourite is "climate change is a scam because people are making money from it"
Great logic. Is malaria a scam too because drug companies make millions from that? What about electricity? Think of the trillions different energy and tech companies have made from that.
Fact is, even if you don't think climate change is man made, climate change IS happening. And the only species on the planet capable of doing anything about it is us. So either there needs to be enormous investment in trying to slow down, stop and reverse climate change. Which means huge investment in nuclear energy and a relatively quick move away from fossil fuels as well as carbon capture and other greenhouse gas capture technology.
Or a huge investment to mitigate the effects of climate change. Which means massive coastal flood defences. Increasing building strength to cope with stronger winds. Global investment in desalination to secure fresh water supplies. Huge increases in genetic engineering of crops to grow more from less land as well as making them grow in less favourable conditions.
Either way money will need to be spent and therefore made. Why not lead the way and be the country who's citizens benefit from the R&D investment and the commercial benefits of selling the technology to the rest of the world.

Whether true or scam, breaking the grip the oil barons have on the world is a good thing.

Bingo. I've lost count of how many times the climate alarmists in the past have made doomsday predictions that by a certain year the world would end by flooding or some other nonsense that never came true.
When you bring this up though the brainwashed climate alarmists of today just ignore it or downplay it and keep repeating the same or very similar "the world is gonna end soon!" bullshit lol.
Oh leftists...
