I saw this meme on Facebook.
I'm suspicious of memes like this, so I looked up Judith Curry. (I didn't have to look up Greta. We know who she is and what her level of expertise is or isn't.) She doesn't say it's all a hoax, but she is a skeptic. Furthermore, she is critical of the hysteria and stomping out of dissent on the issue.
However, it is true that Curry gets virtually no media attention at all. In fact, in 20 years of following this issue, I don't think I've ever seen a skeptical scientist given a platform on the issue.
When the issue is discussed, the overwhelming majority of the time, we don't see a scientist at all. We see a politician or an activist, and that person cites to selected parts of some scientific report or just yells at us like Greta does. Usually no dissent of any kind is shown, but if it is, it comes from a politician who basically gets bullied and shouted down.
If the scientific consensus on all points is so strong, then why not let the actual scientists engage? If Dr. Curry and others like her are so wrong, then let her get discredited. It shouldn't be very hard.
