Greta Thunberg has done her science homework

I don't think that's the case at all, the "hypocrisy" is just an excuse for their opposition to her message.

We all live in this system, and she's not advocating for living outside the system, she's advocating for changing it.

Nobody is advocating for everybody stopping flying tomorrow. We're advocating for developing technology so that within a few decades we can be carbon neutral.

You should read the Green New Deal. Not tomorrow, no, but one goal is to make flying infinitesimally rare.

Have you heard about flight shaming? Some aren't just advocating for it, they are trying to enforce it.

Flight shaming is great, and we should all feel guilty when we fly, but that doesn't mean we stop tomorrow.

Sure, sure. So trying to enforce it doesn't mean you'd argue for it? Sorry, that doesn't compute. It's fine to argue for it, btw. But claiming that "nobody does that"? Come on, that's nonsense.
