At least

she's not saying 'don't worry be happy'...

Anti-human Copenhagen

"There is no nihilism like the nihilism of a 9-year-old."
She does have valid opinions in the article. The difference between her and the nihilists is that she looks at things optimistically, while the nihilists look at things as pessimists. And who is right?

If the things that need doing get done to deal with climate change, then the optimist could well be saying 'nyahh, nyahh' to the pessimists. However, if the world has to wait for the various levels of government bureaucracies to make change to their laws while protecting the various interest groups that vote for them, I fear that the nihilists may well be right. And that the little children should know that.
