Subhead is great: "While we banned plastic straws, Russia drilled and doubled nuclear energy production."

It is just like the media fawning over a 14 year old child out of, where, Denmark, about climate change. Taking lessons from children is such a trope of the stupid. You hear it all the time, "listen to the children". Children are, generally, idiots about matters of substance. This is true whether the child is ordinary or on the spectrum. Thunberg became insulated to criticism because she was identified as being on the autism spectrum. Then she shouted at adults, castigated them, screamed, and the MSM lapped it up and anyone who criticized was ostracized. They are great when it comes to unwavering love - given and sought. But they know no science, no policy, nothing about human existence on a global scale. Shame on anyone who fell for this.

The drinking straw thing is another example of this stupidity. A child in California (of course) made some calculations about how many straws are produced and then extrapolated to how many end up in the nostrils of sea turtles. And the Media and the Green Religionists went wild for him. Starbuck changed their business for it.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
