What is public perception if not meaningless protests and 16 year kids talking as if they understand a single thing about what climate change is all about?
That is the problem. That 16 year is shaping public opinion because most people are too stupid to go educate themselves. That is why she needs to be criticized and called out for her SHEER ignorance on what is really going on.

What are they saying that lacks science? Do you even know what the message behind the climate strike is?
It’s fine to be critical of the information. Especially if providing better information. But just criticising or mocking a 16 year old girl, calling her ignorant, stupid, etc kind of just makes people look like ignorant babies themselves. Like, you could boil down her position to “you’re all not doing enough” and “just listen to the science.” That’s not really controversial. Her outcomes are extreme, but her intension is admirable at a basic level, and kudos to her for being that committed as a teenager.
You’re an adult. You do not actually need to take down a teenager.
I also find, generally speaking, that when posters like yourself or Mr.Coffee talk about how “most people are stupid” you’re not doing yourself any favours. Most people probably are stupid, but a lot of very intelligent people also disagree with you, so characterising people that way isn’t great. You could say most people who argue in favour of the oil patch are stupid, it’s probably true. You could say most people who support Trudeau are stupid, it’s probably true. You could say it about anything. It doesn’t actually mean anything.
