I know they're just trying to sound clever but what a dumb framing. "Oh ho ho Greta Thunberg, you want immediate change, let's nuke the North Pole! Not so into immediate change now, are you?"

Obviously people don't want a thing that vaguely aligns with a phrase they use but which is 100% antithetical to their interests.
