Thunberg's solution has always been "listen to the experts who have been screaming at you for 50 years." You don't have to be an expert to care about things or to want to listen to people who are experts.
That would be fine provided that it's done correctly and civilized. Which is my point. Raising awarness is fine.Throwing insults loudly left and right to raise awareness is not. It only makes you seem delusional and sheds a bad light on your cause. This allows climate change deniers to take advantage of that to further their agenda.
People have tried to politely call attention to the climate crisis for decades. They were ignored. Sometimes, you have to be chaotic to get noticed. See also: Stonewall, the Black Panthers.
