    She’s gotten the issue of climate change to be a major issue with young voters

    It’s really not her fault that the people in power have a vested interest in ignoring climate change.

    Also she got Andrew Tate arrested so there’s that.

      How to you figure the people in power have a vested interest in ignoring climate change? Seems like everyone has a vested interest in acknowledging any risk to our civilization.
