    Perhaps doing things within our sphere of influence, not putting her on a pedestal. I am not naive enough to believe politicians or powerful people actually care enough to change things around. Good for Greta for doing what she can in her life, but again this is real life and not fantasy. No single person is a hero. Collective action and activism requires participation and positive results.

    We are already past the point of return. All that is left is reducing the climate catastrophe length and duration.

    I predict,

    -2025 ---- we are going to see the first few degrees of sharp temperature rise.

    2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 ---- fighting the weather anomalies with no effect.

    -2030 ----- we might realise that nothing is working into reversing global climate fluctuations.

    2031 — 2040 ---- if politicians act globally ( work from home, ban on individual international travel, shipping fully electric + wind-powered )

    2041 ---- 2050 ---- Either previous decade effect is felt or chaos continues to buildup. Political will dies here. Dictatorships on the rise.

    2051 ---- 2060 ---- Either 2 decades effect is felt or chaos slows down. Do normal people even exist ? Millionaires + peasants.

    2061 ---- 2070 ---- Final 3 decades effect might start showing else chaos causes more issues. No one cares, everyone is infighting.

    2081 ---- ---- ---- ---- Human civilization either survives or wiped out. Earth climate settles into a new normal. Cockaroaches are the new emergent species.
