I suppose it would be preferable to the people who don't think young people have anything worthwhile to say if Greta had talked about the potential merits of knee length or floor length dresses for the homecoming dance.
Is she a degreed expert on climate? No, but that doesn't mean what she says doesn't have merit. If nothing else, she let the world know that there are young people thinking about these things and they are the ones who are going to have to figure out how to deal with it after the crochety old grumps are long gone.
The 'get off my lawn' mentality says a hell of a lot more about the 'adults' doing the screeching than it does about Greta and other young people who speak up.
This is equivalent to 'children should be seen and not heard'.
