For reasons it’s difficult to fathom, there are still a lot of people who choose to listen to the other three per cent – and when they air these views, there’s always someone ready to take them down.

As amazing as all these takedowns are, it takes real guts to do it to their faces, like this 16-year-old activist who went to Davos and told the rich and powerful that they were responsible for letting climate change continue.
