Having only recently 'discovered' Emma Barnett, I like her interview style. I appreciate how she doesn't intrude on Jane Goodall so that she can express her ideas with a modicum of prompts. Thank you to both for an informative discussion.

It's strange how she expresses a negative opinion about the climate activists. The activists are more desperate than capable of coming up with a plan to save the world that no one has and no one ever had. Besides, most of them are very young and super-idealistic, which doesn't have to be wrong. For me, the woman somehow has a very vain side and the part about the planes also makes me think.

I think I understand your point of view, which I don't share, however. I see public alienation toward the environmental movement resulting from an increasingly militant activism, reminiscent to me of negative public response, in the '90s to PETA, and Greenpeace before them in the '80s. I see pragmatism in Jane Goodall's choice to fly commercial, and her recognition that the more effective path to encouraging behaviour change is through story-telling (akin to Jesus's parables and Aesop's fables) rather than preachy moralizing and misapplied youthful zeal. Ms. Goodall's perspective comes with experience and age.
