Greta Thunberg speaks as she sets sail for U.S. climate summit

The teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has set sail from Plymouth on board an eco-friendly yacht, bound for UN summits on global warming in New York and Chile. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
She admits the voyage will be a 'huge challenge'. The 16-year-old will make the two-week trip across the Atlantic on a zero-carbon racing yacht, which has no kitchen and the toilet? Well, it's a bucket.

Michael18599 I am not against green activism in moderation, and I have a pretty carbon clean lifestyle myself , but the problem they majority have is that they are from the privileged classes , and most of them ( not all) lecture others and call for sacrifices from others that they don’t want to suffer themselves, they have their middle class privileges , where they can afford to travel, and they DO , despite at the same time calling for a Climate Emergency ! What kind of emergency is needed before THEY personally make real life sacrifices? Now I DO have friends that live the life they call for others to lead, and I DO have friends that lead a poor carbon lifestyle, but the latter DON’T lecture like the hypocrites do. The weakness of (the majority of ) these people - in my experience- ( as you have pointed out) is the actuality of their lifestyle does not match their deafening rhetoric . So it’s so EASY to defeat most of them with a couple of questions about THEIR lifestyle. I do recommend it , it is very satisfying to see the hypocrites melt away, with just a mild challenge (, as they know cannot defend their own position. )

I'm not saying she's that same type but many of them are, or they are being used/manipulated behind the scenes to do/say certain things.
