I was reading, on F.B., dozens of spiteful comments (mostly made by my peers and/or older individuals) against the movement represented by Greta, including a rant written by a supposed Australian university professor (I was about to write australopithecus, and perhaps I wasn't wrong). Essentially, they accuse her and her peers of being responsible for today's mess, as if those under thirty had governed the planet...
