LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton chairman Bernard Arnault made headlines last month when he addressed one specific breed of climate activism. Speaking at the Paris-based conglomerate’s sustainability event in September, Arnault criticized 16-year old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg’s “catastrophism”-centric approach to fighting climate change, calling her views “demoralizing for young people,” and arguing that she is not “proposing anything, aside from criticism.” Arnault said he “prefer[s] positive solutions that allow us to get towards a more optimistic position.”
