Greta is supportive of the Green New Deal - and you and others are constantly pretending there are no solutions that can achieve Greta's stated goal of net zero emissions in 10 years etc..So, in my opinion, it's perfectly on topic - especially given Greta's support of it.Lets hear you put arguments in your own words, if you still think the GND is not an operable plan - as I've already gone through and rebutted those articles.

Just like how the US government put men on the moon by the end of the coming decade - and now 50 years later Musk still hasn't achieved manned flight, despite his business being around almost 2 decades, with the full benefit of the fruits of all of NASA's previous tech R&D.

No it's for R&D on developing the needed technology as rapidly as possible - it doesn't advocate waiting for that tech first.

To be fair most people finish their secondary education and graduate before going trotting off around S. America and similar. I presume money is not a problem having wealthy parents who seem to give in every whim. Yet another spoilt rich kid? ...
