I was 15 during the Cuban missile crisis, which in my opinion was much closer to a global threat than climate issues will ever be. But we all had to trust in Kennedy's diplomatic skills, which thankfully were wise to the situation.
If things that she's saying are simply Green propaganda, then why do I not see credible, fact based counter arguements? She's only 16, she's a brat, she should be in school, she looks angry...but nothing that seriously disputes the content of what she's saying.
Interesting point about the Cuban missile crisis though. While I agree that nuclear annihilation is certainly a threat, I'm not so sure I agree that climate change is less of a threat. We've been living with the threat of nuclear war for something like 80 years now, with no annihilation yet. In fact, one could even say there's been some positives like mutually assured destruction keeping the cold war at a simmer. On the other hand, I don't see many circumstances where in 80 years things are going to be generally OK with climate change. We are already paying the price and it's only going to get worse.
