I completely agree with you Tony. She's done amazing work in bringing the subject to the foreground. She did say things like she didn't want to stop people flying, as one example, but wouldn't commit to what we *should* do. I don't expect her to solve it, obviously. But I'd be interested in what she would like to see - perhaps the book covers that. I was just frustrated.

I've written other stories that give a sense of modest living being a better way forward, like the one below. I'm glad Greta is raising awareness, but this idea that we can magic up a make-believe aeroplane that has no emissions so we can carry on as usual, is frustrating.

People argue that my position of not consuming is wrong, because you need governments to force the issue, not ask people to change their individual lifestyles.

They're right to some extent because people are stubborn and won't change. If governments force it, people will vote them out. But she's still saying she doesn't want to stop people flying or consuming.

So what you're saying about us all changing isn't coming through. I'd like to see what the book says about adopting a different model to capitalism. It was played down. But she did say we need to stop depending on fossil fuels. 100% agree! Obviously. :-)

Thank you for adding something constructive to the discussion.
