On 23 September, Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old global icon of climate activism, spoke at the United Nations Climate Summit. I can bet that 90% of people who support Thunberg and the climate strikes never bothered to check what they really stand for. Their demands involve rejecting carbon capture and storage, carbon trading, geo-engineering, biofuels, and use of any technology or market mechanisms to cut carbon emissions. In sum, Thunberg represents a movement that wants us to revert to a pre-industrial world, with no room for innovation or progress. But what about the countless adults who treat Greta Thunberg like a child-prophet?
