I’m not sure what to think about her. She has caused a much needed discussion about climate change, but there’s a lot of not so climate friendly marketing tricks involved. Like when she went to NYC on a boat to avoid taking a plane. Of course it was a one way trip, so her and her dad, 2 sailors, and 2 other people, who BTW took a flight to NYC just to organize getting the boat back to Europe, are flying back.

And that’s what miss from her and her supporters: Reasonableness, and living in the “real world”.

The sailing was about more than just saving CO2, it was mainly a symbol (highlighting that air-traffic is not yet climate friendly and that something needs to be done about it, since feasible alternatives don't exist). I really don't get why people are so annoyed about this.

Well, she didn’t save CO2 in the end. And the world already knows that flying isn’t climate friendly.

She demands that people fly less, and people don’t like hypocrisy, so they’re annoyed.
