Why? Her methods might be dumb (I'd agree that they are), but the idea that climate change is a threat to take seriously is either true or it isn't and whether or not a particular self described climate activist is an idiot or a hypocrite or both doesn't have any impact on the truth of the message.

Because anyone who uses a private jet while preaching about climate change is someone who [i]isn't[/i] actually as concerned with climate change as they claim to be, which in turn suggests that they have ulterior motives which invalidate the credibility of their messaging.

You'll find hypocrites and ulterior motives on all sides of every issue. If one climate activist who flies in a private jet means their message isn't credible, what does it mean if you can find one who doesn't? Or who doesn't fly or drive at all? Do we just balance it out and the side with the fewest hypocrites wins? That doesn't even make sense because even if every climate activist in the world killed themselves to eliminate their carbon footprint tomorrow that wouldn't mean they were right, it would mean they believed they were right, which obviously isn't the same thing.

It's dumb to judge a factual issue like this. Look at the evidence, use the brain God gave you, and draw a conclusion based on that.[/quote]
