The quantum Greta Thunberg
As it’s intended to last for short, then it is being so intense. The debate around Greta Thunberg’s fight and persona became a vibrating trending topic these days in all social media.
From classical, trumpist, global warming deniers to fiery degrowth activists, almost anyone took a position after Thunberg’s bold remarks at the United Nations climate summit.
Is she right, is she wrong? Is she overacting? Are her claims exaggerated? Are all we really doomed in the near future, or there are more urgent problems to solve in the short term?
Well —probably no surprise here— this is a complex subject and therefore we may embrace some special tools to address it. Mass media filters messages to keep only those being the more simplistic and naive. That’s why the internet is boiling once again in dichotomies, fake news and rants. Few voices, if any at all, are raising in the middle of this crossfire to put things clear. They use to be ignored, of course.
So, again the question is: Is Greta Thunberg right about the content and shape of her message to the world? Well, may be the right answer is the quantum one: Yes *and* Not.
For those of you thinking about humanity having far more serious, pressing problems to face rather than climate change/global warming, there’s good news: you’re right.
