No, Bill Stefaniak, it is not okay to dismiss Greta Thunberg as ‘troubled’ (CW 11 November 2021, p8). Anger is a rational response to the unfolding disaster of climate change. The courageous and eloquent Ms Thunberg has articulated the concerns of millions, carefully heeding the science.

What is troubling, indeed unconscionable, is the inadequate responses by governments across the world. By also opposing proportionate action on climate change, Mr Stefaniak is implicitly denying scientific projections as to the catastrophic consequences of our current path. Mr Stefaniak should make clear his denial of the science, rather than continue his dissembling.
