The inability to make a distinction between a virus & pandemic on one hand, and CO2 & GW on the other is the expression of ignorance, confusion, actual *anti-science*, and mystical holism.

Moreover, we can see over the GW era a big reduction in deaths from infectious diseases.

She is of course, drip fed the notion of crises, which she is neither equipped nor willing to challenge.

But in contrast to any point in human history,

* there is no health crisis,

* there is no ecological crisis,

* there is no climate crisis.

Society should be challenging the weirdo mystical holism, not force feeding it to children. And institutional science should be at the front of that challenge.

Her understand is absolutely out of kilter with reality.

No evidence exists in support of her claims at all. Yet she seemingly makes a consensus statement, which almost every political leader will not at approvingly.

How did society become so irrational, that, at the moment that seemed to be approaching something like an optimum, it decided it *had* to change *everything*?

"In order to prevent the interlinked crises of infectious diseases and anthropogenic global warming, you must radically reduce your lifestyle!"

"But far fewer people die from infectious diseases and any other cause which could plausibly be linked to climate."

"DENIER!"

I wonder how we could quantify just how wrong Greta is.

I've been pointing out for a long time that a failure to develop a sense of proportion is the fundamental characteristic of any environmentalist.

She's off-the-charts wrong.
