All power to Greta Thunberg and her environmental activism, but...is the elaborate virtue signalling represented by her current sea voyage to New York really a good look?
It seems to suggest that in order to save the planet, you need super-rich friends with an expensive racing yacht, plus enough time on your hands to spend sixteen days on a journey that can be done in six hours. Remember, from New York she's heading to Chile, and she won't be doing that by boat. It doesn't seem to be the kind of message that will win many converts among ordinary folk.
So, bon voyage and a safe arrival, Ms Thunberg. But if you want to take the people along with you, you're gonna need a bigger boat.
