You just created fake news. You took the context, the facial expression and the exact wording out of that quote and ignored it. When I listened to EXACTLY what he said and watched EXACTLY how he said, it doesn't look like he's suggesting we shouldn't listen to the science, it doesn't look like he doesn't know why we should listen to the science.

The nuance of the way he said what he said is important. The guy could still be a complete idiot, I don't know him, but you seem to have not been too honest with your quote.

He's asking the girl to expand upon why it is SO important to listen to the science, it almost sounds like an exploratory question rather than him trying to say we should not listen to the science.

I ask questions at work that test basic assumptions all the time because when someone says something, they may not mean it the way you think they mean it.

My point is not that the guy was an idiot for asking the question or if he was helping Greta in her argument. My point is that such question should not even need to be asked in 2019.

Looks like I misunderstood your point - thanks for clearing it up.

No worries, my writing wasn't great to being with :P
