> Do you think she's an actor and/or wrong for trying to make a stand and make people think about reducing carbon emissions?

Clearly her scripted speeches, her constant berating to those in power is not only childish, but isn't going to change anyone's minds about cutting emissions. Everyone else is already developing practical/technological solutions to cutting down CO2 emissions like increasing the use of wind turbines, cycling, electric vehicles etc.

I favor those practical solutions that significantly challenge climate change. Her means of changing peoples minds about climate change are by having controlled photos of her on trains, deserts and crowded buses by her aides which gives me the impression of others puppeteering her message and sculpting it like a complete pantomime.

So yes, she is an 'actor' used by climate change extremists.
