If you don’t have an economics degree like Greta, they’ll mock you for not having one.

If you DO have one, as I do, they’ll claim it’s illegitimate.

Over 4,000 of the top economists have signed a statement supporting Greta's position that ending fossil fuel subsidies is a wise approach so there's a lot more support for her position than there is for the fossil fools policy of business-as-usual. https://t.co/yCF4AXNVgA
