Finally, we have a dating trend amidst us that's in no way infuriating or negative to begin with. It is in fact quite educational and matches a great empathy based wavelength between two people! What am I talking about which seems so profound for the daters out there?

Research-wise, on OKCupid, the dating website says that as well as seeing a 240% increase in mentions of climate change and other environmental terms on dating profiles in the last two years, in 2019 there was a whopping 800% increase in mentions of Greta Thunberg specifically. 

Figures from the dating site survey also reveals that 51% of respondents in 2019 ranked climate change as the most important issue to them, up from 34% of respondents in 2009 and 2014.
