Sure climate change is severe, but by making a publicity stunt like this and undermining the lives of millions who have their actual human rights offended, it’s hard to think you are not a drama queen.
I even suspect that she said this so she could make Hong Kong protestors less significant, and allowing her to win the person of the year. Afterall the results are published just a few days after the human rights day. Look at how beautifully planned her publicity stunt is! Her singer actor mom must be proud

I don’t like her because she’s a hypocrite. You don’t go around and scold at people while ignoring the largest contributors to problem.
And do you really think she is there to actually promote environmentalism?
Consider this, she is fine with China polluting while condemning Sweden for being the leader of carbon reduction? What is that?
That's you lying is what that is.Chokoku wrote:Right wing conspiracy, lol wat
Apparently she undermining people being killed is a conspiracy. Apparently her playing games with fancy photos is being a true warrior of the environment, apparently driving a boat across the Atlantic while having 4 other people to retrieve it for her, through air travel, is what you do to protect the environment.
We need actual regulations on carbon emission, not fancy speeches in the UN where countries have to play games with you and pretend to actually care even tho they don’t.

Agreed. There is little to no correlation between human rights and climate change (Hong Kong is protesting because of China not the environment). It's a strange correlation to make, especially since it is so outlandish, but then again, here ways of being eco-friendly are unrealistic for most

She could’ve gone to parks to help plant trees, or she could’ve wrote an article to encourage people to do that with her,
but nope, she gotta have publicity stunts by meeting with politicians (who are also having their publicity stunts, so they aren’t cruelly wanting to help the environment), or of course she could go to her fancy Tesla while calling out people for ‘ruining her childhood’
REAL environmentalists don’t do these stunts

I'll bet that the damn UN will take up any leftist cause someone yells towards it. Thank God it doesn't actually have any power.

Well, let's see how the yelling can make China, the biggest polluter in the world , make changes in its climate policies.
