Flying is a large source of CO2 emissions and we need to lower CO2 emissions. We have a myriad of experts telling us what to do in light of the climate changing fundamentally but no one listens.

Greta Thunberg is only here to remind every grown up to be better than how they currently are. The experts are here for the solutions. Like putting a price on CO2 emissions. Greta is only filling the spot that politicians don't want to fill. Because it is unpopular to tell everyone to consume less.

Fly less or not at al is a good thing to say because one flight takes up a lot of the budget everyone on this planet has for consumption.

The iPhone is not as impactful in its CO2 footprint as flying so telling people to take care with flying is perfectly ok.

Making laws to increase repairability is also a good measure, so demanding that isn't bad either.
