Does Greta need better fake credentials?
Recently some government functionary told angry teen Greta that before she scolds Americans on what she believes we should be doing to "fix" AGCC (climate change), she needs to go study economics.
Well, sure... that might be helpful... unless she studies economics at a college or university where she'll be cheated out of learning economics, but will instead be trained in Keynesian "economics"; fake economics.
Fake credentials-- like degrees in Keynesian "economics" and "political science" [sic]-- are a big problem which seems to be getting bigger with time. It wouldn't be such a problem if people weren't trained to see credentials as automatically valid and "authoritative", even when they are in phony courses.

And the experts in things that are wrong detest Austrian economics because it cannot be twisted to justify their political aims.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the justification for teaching Greta basic economics the fear that environmentalism leads to socialism? Much as I believe environmental solutions should be implemented by private entities as much as possible, and government should never be given an excuse to create more controls, I don't think socialism is what anyone needs to worry about in this situation. This is just misdirection, because Greta's entire cause is based on the false premise that the countries she's complaining about are the problem. She shouldn't study economics, her handlers need to look at an air quality map.
