Michael Bernstein: We don’t all have to stop flying, swear off meat or close down our heavy industry to address climate change. Instead, we already have a better solution—an economy-wide carbon tax.
Sometimes, it takes a child to say out loud what we all know to be true in our hearts. And when it comes to climate change, and the need to do more about it, there isn’t a kid on earth who’s been saying it more loudly than Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish teenager whose decision to take time off school to protests against climate change triggered a wave of climate strikes at schools around the world.
“You say you love your children above all else, and yet you’re stealing their future before their very eyes”
And while the teenager’s message about climate change is powerful, it’s the unusually blunt way in which she communicates it, which has made her an international sensation. “You say you love your children above all else, and yet you’re stealing their future before their very eyes,” she said at the U.N.’s Climate Change Conference, in December of 2018.
