Well known people ask Greta questions today.

Some brilliant questions and answers. Just a couple of examples:

I am an old man without children. Why should I care about what happens to the planet after my death?

Maybe you believe in something? Like karma, faith? Or morality? Or just because it’s the right thing to do.

How do you explain that, despite the findings of scientists and the alarming UN report, some people keep on denying or ignoring the climate crisis?

I don’t believe so much in denial. I think either you don’t fully understand or you don’t accept the facts. This is because the facts just don’t fit your idea of how things are or should be. Your ideology or religion, for example. To accept the climate emergency is to admit that we have all failed, in a major way. And this is not an easy thing to do.
