We haven&#8217;t heard from Greta Thunberg, the climate alarmist from Sweden who wowed the world with her predictions that the world is ending, in a while &#8212; but she&#8217;s back.
Greta, 17, says she had what she thinks is the coronavirus (she wasn&#8217;t tested), self-isolated &#8212; and got better:
&#8220;The last two weeks I’ve stayed inside,&#8221; the teenager wrote in a post on Instagram. &#8220;When I returned from my trip around Central Europe I isolated myself (in a borrowed apartment away from my mother and sister) since the number of cases of COVID-19 (in Germany for instance) were similar to Italy in the beginning.&#8221;
&#8220;Around ten days ago I started feeling some symptoms, exactly the same time as my father &#8211; who traveled with me from Brussels. I was feeling tired, had shivers, a sore throat and coughed. My dad experienced the same symptoms, but much more intense and with a fever.
&#8220;In Sweden you can not test yourself for COVID-19 unless you’re in need of emergent medical treatment. Everyone feeling ill are told to stay at home and isolate themselves. I have therefore not been tested for COVID-19, but it’s extremely likely that I’ve had it, given the combined symptoms and circumstances.
&#8220;Now I’ve basically recovered, but &#8211; AND THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE: I almost didn’t feel ill. My last cold was much worse than this! Had it not been for someone else having the virus simultaneously I might not even have suspected anything. Then I would just have thought I was feeling unusually tired with a bit of a cough.
&#8220;And this it what makes it so much more dangerous. Many (especially young people) might not notice any symptoms at all, or very mild symptoms. Then they don’t know they have the virus and can pass it on to people in risk groups.
&#8220;We who don’t belong to a risk group have an enormous responsibility, our actions can be the difference between life and death for many others.
&#8220;Please keep that in mind, follow the advice from experts and your local authorities and #StayAtHome to slow the spread of the virus. And remember to always take care of each other and help those in need. #COVID #flattenthecurve.&#8221;
The spread of the coronavirus has been slower in Sweden than in many European countries &#8212; the Scandinavian nation has seen just 2,286 confirmed cases and 36 deaths as of Tuesday.
Schools and restaurants remain open, while public transportation has been packed during rush hour, according to <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/lockdown-wait-sweden-goes-own-way-003057482.html">Agence France-Presse</a>.
&#8220;In contrast, neighbouring Norway two weeks ago rolled out the &#8216;most intrusive measures&#8217; seen in peacetime, including banning sports and cultural events, and shutting down schools and businesses,&#8221; AFP wrote.
Thunberg garnered headlines last year when she gave an impassioned speech to the United Nations warning about the dangers of global warming.
&#8220;You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,&#8221; she told world leaders at the 2019 U.N. climate action summit in New York. &#8220;We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth &#8211; how dare you!&#8221;
She got so famous that the Church of Sweden announced last December that Thunberg is a “successor” to Jesus Christ. “Announcement! Jesus of Nazareth has now appointed one of his successors, Greta Thunberg,” the Church of Limhamn wrote on Twitter.

In one of two conversations with Russian hoaxers pretending to be teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg and her father Svante, Great Britain’s Prince Harry reportedly blasted President Trump, saying, “He has blood on his hands.”
The two hoaxers, Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, allegedly called Prince Harry twice; once on New Year&#8217;s Eve and again on January 22, according to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11144268/prince-harry-megxit-hoaxers-greta-thunberg/">The Sun</a>. They called Prince Harry on the landline at Harry&#8217;s luxury home on Vancouver Island, according to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8098067/Prince-Harry-says-Donald-Trump-blood-hands-leaked-phone-call.html">The Daily Mail</a>.
Prince Harry reportedly told the hoaxers, &#8216;I think the mere fact that Donald Trump is pushing the coal industry is so big in America, he has blood on his hands.&#8221; He allegedly added, “The effect that [Trump&#8217;s coal policy] has on the climate and the island nations far, far away, again out of sight, out of mind … But we&#8217;ve visited those places and I&#8217;m sure you have as well. People&#8217;s lives have been completely destroyed. People are dying every single month by some form of natural disaster created from this huge change in our climate.”
Prince Harry also allegedly encouraged fake Greta to continue her efforts regarding climate change, saying that she should continue to push for climate justice, stating, “The more people say no to something, the more we should knuckle down and try and make it happen because, you know, if Donald Trump can become President of the United States of America, then anything&#8217;s possible, right? … I think there are some good leaders, political leaders around the world, and at the moment it&#8217;s severely unbalanced and in favor of bad leaders. And now I&#8217;m confident within the next five to 10 years things will change, but we can&#8217;t wait five or 10 years.”
Regarding a possible meeting between Thunberg and Trump, he reportedly advised, “Trump will want to meet you to make him look better but he won&#8217;t want to have a discussion about climate change with you because you will outsmart him.”
Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle said in 2016, “I&#8217;m voting for Hillary Clinton, not because she is a woman, but because Trump has made it easy to see that you don&#8217;t really want that kind of world that he&#8217;s painting.”
Prince Harry also reportedly stated to the hoaxers:
<blockquote>As we all know, the world’s problems seem to be getting bigger and seem to be happening far quicker . . . I think the solutions are far quicker to enable as well, but there needs to be a real shift in mindset. We try and do our best. I’ve spent many, many years being criticized by the media for doing all sorts of things and trying to change the way we think, um, and I can sympathize but at the same time applaud the work that all of you are doing because it’s not an easy time and the world is a troubled place and can be very easy to give up and I think what you guys are doing is absolutely remarkable. Unfortunately, the world is being led by some very sick people, so people like yourselves and younger generation are the ones that are going to make all the difference.</blockquote>
Last November, speaking at an awards ceremony, Prince Harry <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LG1VglD0Kk">praised</a> Thunberg, asserting:
<blockquote>When Greta started her climate change protest, she was just 15 years old. One voice, just one placard, sitting alone outside the Swedish Parliament. Many people, actually I should say many adults dismissed her. Yet today, millions upon millions of young people have joined her fight. She may have just been one person in the beginning, but she had a belief, a mission, and a desire not just to do something for herself but for everyone.
And now the whole world is paying attention. Whatever you dream, every country, every community, every friendship group, every school, every family needs their own Greta. Someone who can lead the way; someone who is prepared to stand up for what they believe and show how much they care for the people in their lives and the community around them.</blockquote>

Radical climate activist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/backlash-critics-lambast-melodramatic-greta-ryan-saavedra">Greta Thunberg</a> issued a post on International Women&#8217;s Day addressing sexism and so-called &#8220;climate justice.&#8221;
&#8220;Today is [International Women&#8217;s Day] and we recognise that women are still far from equal to men in today’s societies,&#8221; she wrote via Twitter on Sunday. &#8220;We can not have climate justice without gender equity.&#8221;
&#8220;And remember; what we women want today — and every day — is equality, not congratulations or celebrations,&#8221; the teen added, along with a photo of herself.

It&#8217;s unclear which nations specifically Thunberg was referring to regarding gender inequality, or how gender equality specifically relates to so-called &#8220;climate justice,&#8221; or what exactly &#8220;climate justice&#8221; would look like.
Thunberg was quickly hit with a response from vocal conservative and award-winning actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/after-twitter-investigates-james-woods-tweet-he-fires-back-two-memorable-words">James Woods</a>, who said women are more privileged than men in the Western world and noted that men can be drafted to die for their country.
&#8220;Just for the record women on the average have more rights and government grants in America than men do,&#8221; the actor posted in his first tweet responding to Thunberg.
In a follow-up tweet, Woods added: &#8220;There is not one single right afforded to men in America that is denied to women, except the lovely privilege of being drafted and killed in war based solely on one’s sex. [#International Women&#8217;s Day].&#8221;

Thunberg, who was named Time Magazine’s 2019 Person of the Year, has been widely promoted by the media for her far-left activism, though the teen has claimed she is apolitical.
&#8220;I&#8217;m sometimes called &#8216;political,'&#8221; Thunberg posted in 2019. &#8220;But I&#8217;ve never supported any political party, politician or ideology.&#8221;
&#8220;I communicate the science and the risks of failing to act on it,&#8221; the activist added. &#8220;And the fact that the politics needed don&#8217;t exist today, neither to the right, left nor center.&#8221;

The teen has routinely scolded the United States and &#8220;rich nations&#8221; for not doing enough to slow what she claims is catastrophic man-made global warming, though Thunberg has glossed over or completely ignored major polluting nations like China.
In December, Thunberg was pressured into issuing an apology after saying world leaders should be put up &#8220;against the wall&#8221; for not acting to her liking with regard to the climate. Critics claimed the rhetoric was inflammatory and suggestive of violence.
“We have to make sure that they cannot do that,&#8221; Thunberg <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/474608-greta-thunberg-apologizes-after-saying-politicians-should-be">said</a> of world leaders supposedly skirting their duties on the climate. &#8220;We will make sure they, that we put them against the wall, and that they will have to do their job and to protect our futures.&#8221;
“Yesterday I said we must hold our leaders accountable and unfortunately said &#8216;put them against the wall&#8217;. That’s Swenglish: &#8216;att ställa någon mot väggen&#8217; (to put someone against the wall) means to hold someone accountable,” Thunberg said via Twitter, addressing the controversy.
“That’s what happens when you improvise speeches in a second language. But of course I apologise if anyone misunderstood this. I can not enough express the fact that I — as well as the entire school strike movement — are against any possible form of violence. It goes without saying but I say it anyway,&#8221; she added.

A new study on &#8220;climate anxiety&#8221; found that famed child activist Greta Thunberg is not the only young person who has suffered from severe stress as a result of taking dire predictions about the planet by climate alarmists to heart.
&#8220;Climate anxiety: Survey for <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/51451737">BBC Newsround</a> shows children losing sleep over climate change and the environment,&#8221; the BBC Newsround report on its survey of 2,000 eight to sixteen-year-olds declares.
&#8220;Do you feel optimistic, worried or uncertain?&#8221; the report begins. &#8220;We at Newsround know young people are passionate about the environment, so we wanted to find out more about how you feel about climate change and what&#8217;s being done to tackle it. We also wanted to know how you felt about the impact changes to the environment could have on your future.&#8221;
Following that rather anxiety-promoting intro, Newsround highlights its survey&#8217;s findings, and, unsurprisingly, they&#8217;re packed with worry, frustration, concern, and fear.
Young people, Newsround explains, &#8220;are frustrated and anxious about what&#8217;s happening.&#8221; A majority (58%) of the 2,000 children Newsround interviewed told them that they were worried about the impact of global warming on their futures, and about one out of every five of them (19%) have even had nightmares about it.
About the same percentage of the children (17%) said their sleeping and eating habits have been affected by their fears about climate change, as the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/children-climate-change-sleep-nightmares-eco-anxiety-greta-thunberg-a9371191.html">Independent</a> notes.
Meanwhile, two in five of the children said they &#8220;don&#8217;t trust adults to tackle the challenges that climate change presents and nearly two-thirds say leaders aren&#8217;t listening enough to young people&#8217;s views.&#8221;
Below are some of the study&#8217;s key findings:
<ul>
<li data-reactid=".13umrs5frpg.1.4.2.0.0.0.$9">80% said the problem of climate change was important to them, with over a third saying it was very important.</li>
<li data-reactid=".13umrs5frpg.1.4.2.0.0.0.$9">73% said they are worried about the state of the planet right now, with 22% saying they are very worried.</li>
<li data-reactid=".13umrs5frpg.1.4.2.0.0.0.$9">58% said expressed fear about the impact that climate change will have on their lives.</li>
<li data-reactid=".13umrs5frpg.1.4.2.0.0.0.$9">19% said they&#8217;ve had nightmares about global warming.</li>
<li data-reactid=".13umrs5frpg.1.4.2.0.0.0.$9">17% said it&#8217;s impacted their sleeping and eating habits.</li>
</ul>
The most high-profile climate change activist in the world now is a child, Greta Thunberg, who, along with her parents, has made a point of emphasizing in her activism how much she is plagued by fear about her future and the future of other young people.
In an excerpt of her memoir on her family published by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/feb/23/great-thunberg-malena-ernman-our-house-is-on-fire-memoir-extract">The Guardian</a> in February, Thunberg&#8217;s mother, Malena Ernman, tells the alarming story of her daughter&#8217;s descent into &#8220;some kind of darkness&#8221; – a period in which she largely refused to speak to anyone but her parents and stopped eating to the point where her family considered admitting her to emergency care.
After struggling for months emotionally and psychologically, Thunberg – who Ernman describes as being diagnosed with &#8220;Asperger’s, high-functioning autism and OCD, obsessive-compulsive disorder&#8221; – became obsessed with the state of the environment. She began to speak and eat again, but she also began to see potential causes of &#8220;climate change&#8221; everywhere.
Ernman describes the moment her daughter&#8217;s climate activism, which would quickly bring her to international fame, began:
<blockquote>In school one day, Greta’s class watches a film about how much rubbish there is in the oceans. An island of plastic, larger than Mexico, is floating around in the South Pacific. Greta cries throughout the film. Her classmates are also clearly moved. Before the lesson is over the teacher announces that on Monday there will be a substitute teaching the class, because she’s going to a wedding over the weekend, in Connecticut, right outside of New York. “Wow, lucky you,” the pupils say. Out in the corridor the trash island off the coast of Chile is already forgotten. New iPhones are taken out of fur-trimmed down jackets, and everyone who has been to New York talks about how great it is, with all those shops, and Barcelona has amazing shopping too, and in Thailand everything is so cheap, and someone is going with her mother to Vietnam over the Easter break, and Greta can’t reconcile any of this with any of what she has just seen.
She saw what the rest of us did not want to see. It was as if she could see our CO2 emissions with her naked eye. The invisible, colourless, scentless, soundless abyss that our generation has chosen to ignore. She saw all of it – not literally, of course, but nonetheless she saw the greenhouse gases streaming out of our chimneys, wafting upwards with the winds and transforming the atmosphere into a gigantic, invisible garbage dump.
She was the child, we were the emperor. And we were all naked.</blockquote>

Russian pranksters claim they tricked 2020 front runner Sen. Bernie Sanders into believing that climate activist Greta Thunberg wanted to enlist singers Kanye West and Billie Eilish to endorse him in a &#8220;cool rap&#8221; video.
The pranksters, Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, have fooled a slew of high-profile people. On Thursday, they posted a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Leh-QlpD0Yk">clip on YouTube</a> that features a man with Sanders&#8217; voice, which they claim was recorded in early December.
In the recording (below), an unnamed female pretends to be Greta, while Stolyarov plays the Swedish teenager&#8217;s father, Svante.
&#8220;Hi, this is Senator Bernie Sanders calling for Greta,&#8221; the phone call begins.
Sanders then chats with the father and Greta, praising her work. He asks &#8220;Greta&#8221; if she&#8217;d be open to making a statement in support of his candidacy and suggests that they do an event together when she is in the United States. &#8220;I would be very, very appreciative,&#8221; Sanders says.
&#8220;Greta&#8221; then proposes that she record &#8220;a cool rap&#8221; song with &#8220;singer Billie Eilish and rapper Kanye West.&#8221;
&#8220;I ask them and they would like to do a cool rap and shoot a video clip. In this way you will be able to tell young people about your progress,&#8221; &#8220;Greta&#8221; says.
&#8220;They would be willing to do something on the internet on that?&#8221; Sanders asks. &#8220;Rap music is very popular,&#8221; he adds.
Greta says yes, but adds that &#8220;If we want to make the video successful, we need to put there a lot of expensive cars, and girls. And I think you need to wear gold jewelry and chains, it will be nice,&#8221; she adds.
&#8220;OK,&#8221; Sanders says, laughing.
The call goes south quickly after &#8220;Greta&#8221; suggests that Sanders is a &#8220;sleeper agent&#8221; for Russia.
&#8220;Now it&#8217;s time to wake up and fulfill your mission, become president of the United States, build communism in the United States and work for Russia!&#8221;  she says. Sanders appears to hang up the phone as she speaks.

The pranksters, who go by the stage names Vovan and Lexus, have hit other politicians before. They posted a video in January of them talking to a woman, who identified herself as Rep. Maxine Waters in the audio. Once again, someone pretends to be Greta Thunberg, the other to be her father.
The conversation begins with the fake Greta telling Waters that she is in North Carolina at a climate summit calling for the protection of the fake “Chon-Go-Chango” islands.
&#8220;Chon-Go-Chango?” Waters asks. “That island is particularly threatened?”
“Yes,” fake Greta says.
The fake Greta then asks Waters to make some comments to the meeting, and the California Democrat does so, praising Greta.
Then the Russian playing Greta tells Waters that she had a meeting with Trump at the United Nations back in September.
“It was a really terrible meeting in the U.N. building in September with him. And I had nightmares afterwards. It’s terrible,” fake Greta told Waters. “I saw him in the hallway. He was with security and I shouted at him, ‘Sign the Paris Climate Agreement again!’ He came over, he leaned in towards me, and said softly, ‘Listen carefully to me, little girl. You will never achieve your goal, like the congressional goal, trying to accuse me.&#8217;”
“He said you will never achieve your goal? Oh my goodness,” Waters said, sounding shocked. “Did you ask him if he would rethink signing the Paris Climate Agreement? Is that your question to him?”
“Yes, yes,” one of the Russians said. “He added that … ‘You know what? I’ll tell you the truth. I really wanted to push the Ukraine president to put my competitor on trial.'&#8221;
Her fake father then joined in.
“[Trump] said to her, ‘You know, little girl, nobody believes you anyway, I will tell you the truth. I really pushed on Ukrainian president and you know that you will never achieve your goals like those congressional fools who accuse me,&#8217;” the fictional parent told Waters. “So nobody will believe you. You will be on trial like my competitor.”
“Oh, my God! He mentioned Ukrainian president?” Waters asked.
“Yes, he said that,” the Russian said. “And he added, ‘Nobody will believe you anyway.&#8217;”
The fake father said his daughter had a recording of her exchange with Trump, adding that “he pushed on the Ukrainian president. I think he didn’t expect that we have a record of that.”
That prompted Waters to ask: “Are you going to be in Washington anytime soon? I want you to come meet with me in Washington.” And she added about the recording: “Well, you bring it to me. You tell me what day you can get there and we’ll arrange to meet with you as quickly as we can. … I will make myself available whenever you get there.”

VIDEO: Russian Pranksters Posing As Greta Thunberg Claim They Tricked Bernie In Phony Phone Call

Bernie Sanders

The BBC announced Monday that they&#8217;re making a &#8220;documentary series&#8221; about the life of teenaged climate activist Greta Thunberg, and British taxpayers, who fund the BBC, are definitely not happy that their tax dollars are going to pay for &#8220;climate propaganda.&#8221;
BBC Studios announced the project at the BBC Showcase trade show, <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/greta-thunberg-tv-series-bbc-studios/">according to The Wrap. </a>Details of the show are still scarce &#8212; it&#8217;s not clear yet what the format is, how many episode there will be, or when it will premiere &#8212; but the BBC did note that the show will come from the network&#8217;s &#8220;science unit.&#8221;
&#8220;The series will follow Greta’s international crusade, which takes her to the front line of climate change in some of the most extraordinary places on earth, as she explores what actions could be taken to limit climate change and the damage it causes,&#8221; the BBC said in a statement released to reporters.
&#8220;As she travels Greta meets not only leading scientists but political leaders and business heavyweights, exploring the scientific evidence with them and challenging them to change,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;The films will also charts her own journey into adulthood as she continues to be confronted by the real world consequences of inaction; and will share some of the quiet moments as she writes the impactful speeches that are now broadcast and analysed around the world, as she lives a teenage life like no other.”
In other words, the show will be a platform for Thunberg to rail against climate change, speaking directly to BBC viewers the way she frequently speaks to world leaders at high-profile climate change conferences and United Nations meetings, and pressuring them to change their ways in order to head off catastrophic environmental change.
Given how private Thunberg is about her family life, though, the show will likely shy away from showcasing where and how Thunberg gets her information. Thunberg&#8217;s team has been notoriously silent about who is coaching her on &#8220;climate science&#8221; and whether she pens her own speeches and social media missives, insisting that Thunberg is investigating the issue for herself and that, while she may have assistance, she is ultimately responsible for her own material and branding.
What seems to concern BBC viewers more than Thunberg&#8217;s mysterious &#8220;team,&#8221; though, is her science. Thunberg is adamant that the world is &#8220;on fire,&#8221; and that, if global governments don&#8217;t abandon industrialization, modern agriculture, and even capitalism as a whole, that humanity will be extinct in just over a decade (if not sooner). Those predictions don&#8217;t necessarily track with climate scientists&#8217; and BBC viewers took to Twitter to caution the network about airing &#8220;climate propaganda&#8221; on the taxpayers&#8217; dime.
&#8220;One user wrote, &#8216;More reason to ditch the TV tax!!&#8221; according to the UK&#8217;s Express magazine. Another demanded, “What are her qualifications to be interviewed for anything at all? Zero.&#8221;
“This is yet more BBC propaganda and misinformation being presented as if it was factual,&#8221; added another viewer. “Another reason (if one was needed) to axe the TV tax.&#8221;
Several even tried to predict the series&#8217; bottom line: &#8220;Let me guess: ‘we only have 10 years to save the universe.'&#8221;
At least one thing is clear: the BBC documentary will have to compete with other Thunberg-centric projects. Hulu is set to air a &#8220;documentary series&#8221;<a href="https://www.thewrap.com/greta-thunberg-documentary-set-at-hulu/"> on the globe-trotting teen</a> later this year, and there is reportedly a Greta Thunberg biopic in the works.

‘We’re NOT Paying!’ BBC Gives Greta Thunberg Her Own Series And Viewers Are Furious

An 8-year-old activist from India took to social media last week to voice a complaint against the news media. She is not &#8220;Greta of India,&#8221; as they&#8217;ve repeatedly described her, Licypriya Kangujam declared in a statement on Twitter — and calling her that is &#8220;deleting&#8221; her story. The truth is, Kangujam pointed out, she started her climate change activism a month ahead of the media-privileged Thunberg, despite the Swedish activist being twice her age.
Shortly after Kangujam posted the complaint, the platform suspended her account, prompting accusations of censorship for dissing Thunberg and claims of white privilege. But Twitter has since offered an explanation for its actions, saying that the brief suspension was a response to her age not her &#8220;Greta of India&#8221; complaint.
&#8220;Dear Media, Stop calling me &#8216;Greta of India&#8217;,&#8221; the 8-year-old activist wrote early last week along with a video of her holding a climate change sign that has amassed nearly 2 million views. &#8220;I am not doing my activism to looks like Greta Thunberg. Yes, she is one of our Inspiration &amp; great influencer. We have common goal but I have my own identity, story. I began my movement since July 2018 even before Greta was started.&#8221;
&#8220;I first raised my voice to world leaders in Mongolia in an UN event in July 4, 2018,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Since then I started my movement called &#8216;Child Movement&#8217;. In Hindi, we called it &#8216;Bachpan Andolan&#8217; to call our world leaders to take immediate climate action. As I felt my work is more important than the organisation, I have less publicity and media coverage. Only media came to notice me when I spend a week in front of the Parliament House of India on July 21, 2019. Before that also, I began my Parliament Movement since Feb. 2, 2019.&#8221;
&#8220;I even dropped out my school since February 2019 (before Grade 1 final exam) when I was just 7 years old due to my protests every week in front of the Parliament House of India,&#8221; she noted, an action similar to that of Thunberg. &#8220;I sacrificed so much of my life in this tender age is not to called me &#8216;Greta of India&#8217;.&#8221;
&#8220;If you call me &#8216;Greta of India&#8217;, you are not covering my story. You are deleting a story,&#8221; she concluded.

Within a few days of &#8220;calling out the media,&#8221; the 8-year-old found that her account was suspended.
&#8220;It’s a matter of great pain that [Twitter] has suspended my twitter account [Licypriya Kangujam] after writing a posts on media not to call me &#8216;Greta of India&#8217; on 27 January, 2020,&#8221; Kangujam <a href="https://twitter.com/movement_child/status/1222860239122268160">announced</a> Thursday through her &#8220;The Child Movement&#8221; account.
Her supporters quickly let the world know about the &#8220;painful&#8221; suspension, some alleging that it was a result of Western censorship and white supremacy. Amid what she described as &#8220;global pressure&#8221; to get her back online, her account was reinstated by Twitter within hours — with a brand new blue check next to her name.
In a message addressed to Twitter after she was reinstated, Kangujam declared herself and her movement &#8220;UNSTOPPABLE.&#8221;
&#8220;Dear [Twitter], WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE,&#8221; she tweeted Friday. &#8220;Finally my account has been restored after global pressure. Thanks everyone who supported me. This is possible because of all your love. Special thanks to all my Climate Activist friends across the globe. No words to express my feelings.&#8221;

&#8220;No one can judge people on age.

Twitter shouldn’t attempt to silence the voice of young climate activist in any part of the world in future.&#8221;
Twitter, however, says that her temporary suspension had nothing to do with her comments about Greta but, rather, their policies on the age of users.
&#8220;Licypriya&#8217;s parents said that an email from Twitter suggested they needed to update the account to &#8216;explicitly state&#8217; they are the ones running the account,&#8221; <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/ikrd/8-year-old-climate-activist-suspended-twitter?bftwnews&amp;utm_term=4ldqpgc#4ldqpgc">BuzzFeed News</a> reports. &#8220;According to Twitter&#8217;s rules, you have to be at least 13 years old to set up and manage your own account if you have parental consent.&#8221;
&#8220;They will restore the account but &#8216;the bio needs to be updated to explicitly state that the account is run by the parents? This is to further prevent suspensions in the future as manage by Team Licy is a bit vague and doesn&#8217;t necessarily imply that a parent or legal guardian is the curator,'&#8221; the outlet reports.
The child activist has also posted a statement of solidarity with Thunberg and took another swipe at the media, accusing them of trying to &#8220;play with the young souls.&#8221;
&#8220;GretaThunberg says she &amp; other young #climate activists are &#8216;fighting for the exact same cause&#8217;: We are all on the same side and support each other, even though the media portrays us differently #FridaysForFuture,&#8221; said Megan Rowling in a post highlighted by Kangujam.
&#8220;Exactly!&#8221; Licypriya replied. &#8220;Media are playing with the young souls!!! No doubt. We support each other and we are on same side! Not only leaders, media also need to change their mindset.&#8221;

8-Year-Old Girl’s Complaint About Media Comparing Her To Greta Thunberg Goes Viral; Twitter Suspends Her Account, Explains

Twitter

Greta Thunberg, the 17-year-old teenage climate activist who has garnered international attention for making apocalyptic predictions about the fate of the environment, has been nominated for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize by two Swedish legislators.
Jens Holm and Hakan Svenneling, members of Sweden’s Left Party, said Thunberg “has worked hard to make politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis,” citing her efforts at “reducing our emissions and complying with the Paris Agreement is therefore also an act of making peace,” according to <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/02/03/greta-thunberg-nominated-for-nobel-peace-prize/">The New York Post</a>.
The Nobel nomination follows Thunberg gracing the cover of Time Magazine as its 2019 <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/12/11/greta-thunberg-is-times-2019-person-of-the-year/">“Person of the Year,”</a> as Time stated:
<blockquote>She has succeeded in creating a global attitudinal shift, transforming millions of vague, middle-of-the-night anxieties into a worldwide movement calling for urgent change. She has offered a moral clarion call to those who are willing to act, and hurled shame on those who are not … She has focused the world’s attention on environmental injustices that young indigenous activists have been protesting for years. Because of her, hundreds of thousands of teenage “Gretas,” from Lebanon to Liberia, have skipped school to lead their peers in climate strikes around the world.</blockquote>
Time also preached, “Where others speak the language of hope, Thunberg repeats the unassailable science: Oceans will rise. Cities will flood. Millions of people will suffer.”
Thunberg was nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize by three members of Norway’s parliament. They <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/03/14/16-year-old-environmental-activist-nominated-for-nobel-peace-prize/">stated</a> that “the massive movement Greta has set in motion is a very important peace contribution.”
A national legislator from any country is permitted to nominate someone for the Peace Prize.
In mid-January, Michael D. Shellenberger, President of Environmental Progress, sent a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/climate-expert-shreds-claims-made-by-ocasio-cortez-thunberg-in-congressional-testimony">shot across the bow</a> at the extreme rhetoric purveyed by Thunberg and others embracing her position, as The Daily Wire reported. Thunberg had spoken in September before the United Nations and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/greta-snaps-we-are-beginning-mass-extinction-how-ryan-saavedra">castigated adults</a>, saying:
<blockquote>My message is that we’ll be watching you. This is all wrong, I shouldn’t be up here, I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet, you all come to us young people for hope, how dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words and yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth.</blockquote>
Shellenberger told the House Committee On Science, Space, and Technology:
<blockquote>I believe that scientists, journalists, and advocates have an obligation to represent climate science accurately, even if doing so reduces the saliency of our concerns. No credible scientific body has claimed climate change threatens the collapse of civilization much less the extinction of the human species. And yet some activists, scientists, and journalists make such apocalyptic assertions, which I believe contribute to rising levels of anxiety, including among adolescents, and worsening political polarization.</blockquote>
He added, “My colleagues and I have carefully reviewed the science, interviewed the individuals who make such claims, and written a series of articles debunking them. In response, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change invited me to review its next Assessment Report, and Harper Collins will publish our research findings this June.”

Closing Day Of The World Economic Forum (WEF) 2020

Greta Thunberg Nominated For 2020 Nobel Peace Prize

Famous people like to tell everyone else how to live, and all the things they&#8217;re doing wrong – but the limousine liberals don&#8217;t actually have to follow the rules they set out for everyone else.
Take Prince Charles. He&#8217;s spent decades bleating about climate change, but last week, he flew 16,000 miles on three private jets and a helicopter just to meet up with climate alarmist Greta Thunberg in Davos, Switzerland.
An empty jet was dispatched from Vienna to Wales to pick up the prince, who is first heir to the British throne. That plane dumped 10,000 tons of carbon into the atmosphere on its roughly 1,000-mile flight, The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7929735/Prince-Charles-flew-16-000-miles-just-11-days-proudly-posing-Greta-Thunberg-Davos.html">Daily Mail</a> reported. He then flew to Muscat, the capital of Oman, to &#8220;pay his respect to the new sultan of Oman.&#8221; That 3,800-mile flight dumped 34 tons of carbon. That plane then flew back empty to Vienna, dumping another 26 tons of carbon on its 2,800-mile flight.
A different plane left England to pick up the prince in Oman, dumping another 33 tons of carbon on its 3,600-mile flight. A round-trip got him back to Buckingham Palace to talk about the most pressing issue in the world: The decision by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to leave their senior roles in the royal family.
The 71-year-old prince had to take a chopper to meet the Queen (130 miles, 2 tons of carbon), then after the meeting he jumped into another chopper for a 200-mile flight to Scotland, dumping another 2 tons of carbon. The helicopter flew 250 miles back to its base, dumping another 4 tons of carbon.
But Charles didn&#8217;t hang around long. He jumped into another private jet to fly 750 miles to Davos, dumping another 18 tons of carbon.
With the five &#8220;empty-leg&#8221; flights, his transport vehicles flew more than 16,000 miles in less than two weeks at an estimated cost to taxpayers of $330,000. And his jets and choppers emitted more than 162 metric tons of carbon – 18 times an average Briton’s annual total, the Mail reported.
After numerous questions about his travel, a Clarence House spokesman said: &#8220;Global travel is an inescapable part of the Prince’s role as a senior member of the Royal Family representing the UK overseas. When he travels he does so at the request of the British Government. He does not choose the destinations any more than he chooses the means by which the journeys are undertaken.&#8221;
Of course, members of the royal families have royal duties. And while one will occasionally jump on a commercial plane, often they are under time constraints to get to the next site for those royal duties.
But its the hypocrisy of the prince – and all those Hollywood celebrities jetsetting around the world and hanging on gas-guzzling mega-yachts – spouting off about global warming when he is simultaneously dumping so much carbon into the atmosphere.
At Davos, Charles said: “We are in the midst of a crisis that is now, I hope, well understood &#8230; Global warming, climate change, and the devastating loss of biodiversity are the greatest threats humanity has ever faced – and one largely of our own creation.”
Well, not the average Briton, but his, anyway.
&#8220;In order to secure our future and to prosper, we need to evolve our economic model,” he stated.
Like, maybe not flying 16,000 miles in a couple weeks and dumping 162 tons of carbon.

After Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin offered some free advice to teenage environmentalist Greta Thunberg, advising her to study economics in college so she understands more completely the catastrophic economic effect her chosen policies would engender, CNN anchor Christopher Cuomo, displaying not the slightest ounce of self-reflection, went on the attack, tweeting, “Why do these trumpers think it is ok to go at a kid?”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Cuomo’s network is the same network that bitterly attacked 16-year old Nicholas Sandmann after the March for Life in 2019; so bitterly, in fact, that the network had to reach a settlement after Sandmann sued them.
As <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/01/23/us-treasury-secretary-mnuchin-says-climate-activist-greta-thunberg-should-go-study-economics/?utm_campaign=wp_main&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">The Washington Post</a> reported, the exchange with Mnuchin that prompted Cuomo’s comments went like this:
<blockquote>Reporter: “Greta Thunberg has called for public and private sector divestment from fossil fuel companies. Does that pose a threat to this U.S. economic growth that you guys are talking about?”
Mnuchin: “Is she the chief economist or who is she? I’m confused.”
Reporter: “Greta Thunberg.”
Mnuchin: “It’s a joke! After she goes and studies economics in college she can go back and explain that to us.”</blockquote>
Fox 19 <a href="https://www.fox19.com/2020/01/07/cnn-settles-lawsuit-with-nick-sandmann/">reported</a> on January 7, &#8220;CNN agreed Tuesday to settle a lawsuit with Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann. The amount of the settlement was not made public during a hearing at the federal courthouse in Covington.&#8221;
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-covington-catholic-student-nick-sandmann-gets-settlement-from-cnn-after-275-million-lawsuit">The Daily Wire</a> reported, one of Sandmann&#8217;s attorneys, Lin Wood, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-cnn-be-sued-250-million-over-vicious-ryan-saavedra">told</a> Fox News’ Mark Levin last year:
<blockquote>CNN was probably more vicious in its direct attacks on Nicholas than The Washington Post. And CNN goes into millions of individuals’ homes. CNN couldn’t resist the idea that here’s a guy with a young boy, with that Make America Great Again cap on. So they go after him … They really went after Nicholas with the idea that he was part of a mob that was attacking the Black Hebrew Israelites, yelling racist slurs at the Black Hebrew Israelites. Totally false. Now you say you’ve seen the tape; if you took the time to look at the full context of what happened that day, Nicholas Sandmann did absolutely nothing wrong. He was, as I’ve said to others, he was the only adult in the room.</blockquote>
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-cnn-be-sued-250-million-over-vicious-ryan-saavedra">reported</a> in March 2019:
<blockquote>Sandmann was falsely accused of being disrespectful to a Native American man who stood in front of him and beat a drum in his face on January 18 while attending The March for Life in Washington, D.C. A short video clip, which took the exchange <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42416/heres-what-you-need-know-about-confrontation-emily-zanotti">out of context</a>, went viral on social media and led to multiple false attacks being launched against the students from lawmakers, media organizations, media figures, and celebrities.</blockquote>
Wood stated, &#8220;The CNN folks were online on Twitter at 7 a.m retweeting the little one-minute propaganda piece that had been put out. They&#8217;re out there right away going after this young boy. And they maintain it for at least two days. Why didn&#8217;t they stop and just take an hour and look through the Internet and find the truth and then report it? Maybe do that before you report the lies.&#8221;
Reaction on social media to Cuomo’s remark came fast and furious:

Chris Cuomo Snaps That Greta Thunberg Off-Limits Because She’s A Teen. Social Media Reminds Him Of A Certain Kentucky Teenager.

Chris Cuomo

Nick Sandmann

President Donald Trump responded Wednesday to a radical speech from teen climate alarmist Greta Thunberg, suggesting the activist &#8220;focus&#8221; on nations with rising emissions instead of spending her time bashing the United States.
Trump said at a presser on Wednesday that he did not watch Thunberg&#8217;s speech, though he would have &#8220;loved to,&#8221; while challenging the teen to focus on entire continents and countries producing dramatically rising emissions.
&#8220;Some people put it at a level that is unrealistic, to a point that you can&#8217;t live your lives,&#8221; Trump explained. &#8220;We want to have the cleanest water on earth, we wanna have the cleanest air on earth. Our numbers, as you saw, we had record numbers come out very recently. Our [environmental] numbers are very, very good.&#8221;
&#8220;We have to do something about other continents, we have to do something about other countries,&#8221; POTUS continued. &#8220;When we&#8217;re clean and beautiful and everything is good, but you have another continent where the fumes are rising at levels that you can&#8217;t believe. I think Greta oughta focus on those places.&#8221;
&#8220;We are doing better right now than we&#8217;ve ever done in terms of cleanliness, in terms of numbers,&#8221; Trump emphasized.
&#8220;We have a beautiful ocean called the Pacific Ocean with thousands and thousands of tons of garbage flowing toward us, and that&#8217;s put there by other countries. And I think Greta has to focus on those other countries,&#8221; the president concluded.
As noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/greta-attacks-u-s-admonishes-world-leaders-i-said-i-wanted-you-to-panic">The Daily Wire</a> on Tuesday, Thunberg ripped President Trump&#8217;s decision to leave the Paris Climate Accord, despite the United States leading the world in CO2 emissions reductions, during her speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“One year ago I came to Davos and told you that our house is on fire,” Thunberg started her radical address. “I said I wanted you to panic. I’ve been warned that telling people to panic about the climate crisis is a very dangerous thing to do. But don’t worry. It’s fine. Trust me, I’ve done this before, and I can assure you it doesn’t lead to anything.&#8221;
“The fact that the U.S.A. is leaving the Paris accord seems to outrage and worry everyone, and it should,” the teen continued. “But the fact that we’re all about to fail the commitments you signed up for in the Paris Agreement doesn’t seem to bother the people in power even the least.”
As noted by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/dec/06/greta-thunberg-says-school-strikes-have-achieved-nothing?CMP=twt_a-environment_b-gdneco">The Guardian</a>, “greenhouse gas emissions have risen by 4%” since the Paris Accords were signed, while the U.S.&#8217;s emissions have dropped.
Thunberg typically avoids mentioning China when offering her screeds against world leaders on climate change, despite the nation leading in carbon emissions. Notably, the activist has also yet to visit China to give one of her lectures.
“With the world’s largest population and for decades one of the fastest growing economies, China is far and away the world’s top CO2 emitter,” <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/07/14/china-us-countries-that-produce-the-most-co-2-emissions/39548763/">USA Today</a> reported this summer, using data collecting in 2017. “Close to 10,000 million metric tons of CO2 from burning fossil fuel were emitted by the superpower in 2017. On a per capita basis, China’s CO2 emissions of 7.1 metric tons per person trail that of most countries on this list but still rank in the top 50 worldwide.”
“Driving China’s CO2 emissions is the nation’s massive coal production,” the reported added. “China’s generation of electricity from coal has dropped slightly from 75% in 1992 to 70% in 2015. Still, overall coal production has tripled since 2000 to nearly 4,000 million metric tons – approximately half of all global coal production.”

The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, is set to begin Tuesday, with a special focus on saving the Earth from the ravages of &#8220;climate change.&#8221; The conference, titled &#8220;Stakeholders for a Cohesive and Sustainable World&#8221; and attended by some of the world&#8217;s most powerful people, will even feature a keynote address by teenaged climate activist Greta Thunberg.
&#8220;How to Save the Planet&#8221; is one of the &#8220;key themes&#8221; of the event.
And this year, Davos organizers are begging the global elite, who travel to the gathering almost exclusively by private jet, to use &#8220;green fuel&#8221; as a way of offsetting their incredible, unparalleled, contributions to global warming. They&#8217;re even providing the &#8220;sustainable aviation fuel&#8221; to private jet owners who use the Zurich airport.
The average American contributes about 20 metric tonnes of CO2 to the Earth&#8217;s atmosphere per year, according to Science Daily. The global average, accounting for developing nations and farming communities, is about 4 metric tonnes of Co2 per person per year.
The Davos conference is expected to release an incredible 18,090 metric tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.
That&#8217;s largely because most attendees use private planes to get to the remote resort where the conference is held. And instead of enduring a 2-hour-long car drive to the center from the airport in Zurich, many charter helicopters.
The conference itself claims to be &#8220;carbon neutral&#8221; and organizers claim that the event uses &#8220;locally-sourced food suppliers, introducing alternative sources of protein to reduce meat consumption, sourcing 100% renewable electricity, and reducing or eliminating the use of materials that cannot easily be recycled or re-used, such as carpets and introducing more electric vehicles,&#8221; <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/davos-guests-private-jets-climate-crisis-2020-1">according to Business Insider</a>.
<a href="https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/qjdkp5/brave-airport-near-davos-is-offering-green-fuel-for-rich-peoples-private-jets">According to Vice News</a>, Davos is also taking efforts to curb the emissions from private jets, which are among the worst polluters. The rich and famous Davos attendees will have the option to do the &#8220;bare minimum,&#8221; Vice claims, by electing to fill their private jets&#8217; fuel tanks with &#8220;sustainable aviation fuel,&#8221; which reduces their carbon emissions by a paltry 18%.
&#8220;The World Economic Forum has actually become obsessed with fighting back against flight shaming using this idea that SAF can make flying more sustainable,&#8221; Vice reports. &#8220;We should, of course, move toward more sustainable fuels, but WEF seems to want to &#8216;cultivate demand&#8217; for SAF by making the ultra-rich feel slightly better about their awful habits. WEF is promising to help the aviation industry reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.&#8221;
Those who don&#8217;t agree to use the &#8220;green&#8221; fuel, conference coordinators say, can purchase &#8220;carbon credits&#8221; &#8212; a sort of &#8220;carbon indulgence&#8221; that pays for tree planting or other Earth-saving efforts so that the elite can maintain their expensive transportation &#8212; and the can get a special incentive to travel by train.
Greta Thunberg, who opened the conference, gave a variation of her &#8220;world on fire&#8221; speech from the United Nations, calling out aviation and air travel, specifically, as a contributor to climate change, and berating the Davos attendees for &#8216;talking&#8221; and &#8220;doing nothing&#8221; to combat what she calls a &#8220;crisis.&#8221;
Despite her allegations, Davos attendees say they&#8217;re not so sure she&#8217;s done her homework on their contributions to global environmental stewardship. “It’s not just talk,&#8221; <a href="https://nationalpost.com/news/world/thunberg-tells-davos-youve-done-nothing-on-climate-change?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NPWorld+%28National+Post+-+World%29">one told the National Post</a>, &#8220;it’s translating into billions of dollars in investments in the energy transition.”

Davos Conference, Focused On Climate Change, Begs Attendees To Use ‘Green’ Fuel For Their Private Jets

Actor John Cusack is a big fan of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders&#8217; particular brand of socialism. In fact, as the &#8217;80s actor made alarmingly clear at a Bernie rally in Exeter, NH on Saturday, he believes if we don&#8217;t stop &#8220;predatory capitalism&#8221; in the next &#8220;ten or twelve years,&#8221; we&#8217;re all toast.
&#8220;[T]he billionaires are getting nervous and all the corporate media is — they hate us, they don’t hate us, they&#8217;re confused. And it seems like every conceivable power structure on earth is trying to kill or derail our movement, but we’re still here,&#8221; declared Cusack, in remarks reported by <a href="https://news.grabien.com/story-john-cusack-we-have-10-12-years-save-planet-climate-capitali">Grabien</a>.
&#8220;We know this form of capitalism takes and takes; it takes whatever, whenever, however it wants,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It’ll take our lives, it’ll take our labor, our spirit, our air and water, even our earth.&#8221;
Cusack then echoed an alarmist line often repeated by global warming activist Greta Thunberg, but specifically tying the sentiment to Sanders&#8217; policies.
&#8220;Bernie respects us enough to tell the truth, the hard truth: We have a ten to twelve year window to radically transform our energy systems, or climate change, predatory capitalism, and endless war economies will rob us of the right to any future at all,&#8221; said the actor. &#8220;And as we can see literally every day, the house is on fire.&#8221;
Bernie, suggested Cusack, is our only hope in these desperate times.
&#8220;But as Bernie tells us, this is no time for despair, it&#8217;s no time for anything but action,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Because if we stand together, with him, the future is still indeed unwritten. And there’s nothing more powerful than a movement whose time has come.&#8221;
Cusack then invoked a vaguely defined &#8220;movement,&#8221; by which he appears to mean democratic socialism, which he says is now finally &#8220;close&#8221; to power.
&#8220;We have never had a movement candidate this close to power with a revolutionary movement he’s led and built, ready-to-go, all the way to change the country and help heal the world,&#8221; he said. &#8220;With people of every race, creed, gender, everybody stands together in solidarity when all of us whose labor powers this economy, stop the profiteering and tell the billionaires and the  corporate tyrannies that it&#8217;s time to start treating all human beings with respect and dignity.&#8221;
Video of Cusack&#8217;s remarks below (via <a href="https://news.grabien.com/story-john-cusack-we-have-10-12-years-save-planet-climate-capitali">Grabien</a>):

Other celebrities who&#8217;ve made millions from Hollywood&#8217;s &#8220;predatory capitalism&#8221; have resorted to Thunbergian rhetoric about climate change in recent months, including &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; (which blew up at the box office) star Jason Momoa, who told the United Nations in September that humanity is &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-aquaman-jason-momoa-says-we-are-a-disease-infecting-our-planet-rips-trump-at-u-n">a disease that is infecting our planet.</a>&#8221;
&#8220;From the atmosphere to the abyssal zone, we are polluted,&#8221; said the &#8220;Game of Thrones&#8221; star. &#8220;It is a known fact that the great garbage patch floating in the Pacific is larger than the country of France. Even at the depths of the Mariana Trench we are discovering nano plastics. And shockingly, there are more particles of plastic in the ocean than there are stars in the Milky Way. It is shameful.&#8221;
&#8220;Yet, the greatest threat to small island developing states is that entire islands are drowning into the sea due to the enormous volume of emissions generated by the first world countries,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Island nations contribute the least to this disaster but are made to suffer the weight of its consequences.&#8221;
Similar to Cusack, Momoa laid the blame at the feet of capitalism and failure of the government to intervene enough.
&#8220;Our governments and corporate entities have known for decades that immediate change is needed, yet change still has not come,&#8221; said the actor. &#8220;And when the front line is gone, we are doomed. There is no undoing. If you continue to watch unsympathetic to the issues of island nations, this realization will soon come — that you stood by and witnessed the world cross the critical tipping point, ushering in the death of our planet.&#8221;

On Thursday, a Facebook glitch revealed who&#8217;s posting on climate change alarmist Greta Thunberg&#8217;s Facebook page: her father Svantes Thunberg and &#8220;Climate Crisis activist&#8221; Adarsh Prathap.
&#8220;[A] bug that was live from Thursday evening until Friday morning allowed anyone to easily reveal the accounts running a Page, essentially doxing anyone who posted to one,&#8221; <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/facebook-bug-page-admins-edit-history-doxxing/">Wired</a> reported Friday.
&#8220;We quickly fixed an issue where someone could see who edited or published a post on behalf of a Page when looking at its edit history,&#8221; Facebook responded to the controversy in a statement. &#8220;We are grateful to the security researcher who alerted us to this issue.&#8221;
&#8220;Still, despite the Friday morning fix,&#8221; Wired explained, &#8220;screenshots circulated on 4chan, Imgur, and social media appearing to show the accounts behind the official Facebook Pages of the pseudonymous artist Banksy, Russian president Vladimir Putin, former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, the hacking collective Anonymous, climate activist Greta Thunberg, and rapper Snoop Dogg, among others.&#8221;
Screenshot circulating online show Svantes and Prathap behind the teen climate activist&#8217;s Facebook page.

Seemingly confirming the screenshots, Thunberg addressed the issue on Saturday.
&#8220;Some people have been asking who manages this page. First of all, since last spring I only use Facebook to repost what I write on my Twitter and Instagram accounts,&#8221; wrote the teen.
&#8220;Since I have chosen not to be on Facebook personally ( I tried early on but decided it wasn’t for me) I use my father Svantes account to repost content, because you need an account to moderate a Facebook page,&#8221; explained Thunberg.
Prathap, Thunberg explained, founded the official Greta Thunberg Facebook page &#8220;long before&#8221; she knew it existed. Since folks already thought it was her real page, she said, she decided to co-manage the page.
&#8220;The rest that is shared on Facebook is reposted from Twitter and Instagram by the guy who founded the Greta Thunberg Facebook page long before I knew it existed,&#8221; wrote Thunberg. &#8220;His name is <a class="profileLink" title="Adarsh Prathap" href="https://www.facebook.com/adarsh.prathap?__tn__=K-R&amp;eid=ARBgb2ffBiAKOEkdGLrIbzbwHqidP9d6_2CVf2ragIlXVo85GXnlYCWK5S19t80UVLV4_sAMByqx4V08&amp;fref=mentions&amp;__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARD-WyACegA-8xa3IYEA-u5laJLlSwtYJ7YbGNQPo8d5Ua8OMKI0v4HY62BYc2kuyywugcSEKQjvTlKdxwHnPVqYGnqOsC1aqUZ17IoNzqK-E6eamelRGdGoSJHC_UWoYiYgk0Ub5KyozBSZUeT8wAmdFbdtsf3CSH103Tyb3imlImEH-Q2g-hN2S8AgcBraP4EWro5axnKtwPIPybpFVcXQdSkP-fXUBzwzcwITrH4NWeVpsuvR1TwLNleR0WJVCKCWa_R3r-IvMNmwWsRqUONf5Z6v7jpBLy_foWss-bnYMCH5XmPhjqAbZc3MTVeU4BSv09xv18G0XL4-rgNS_g" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=100001563536174&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22__tn__%22%3A%22%2CdK-R-R%22%2C%22eid%22%3A%22ARBgb2ffBiAKOEkdGLrIbzbwHqidP9d6_2CVf2ragIlXVo85GXnlYCWK5S19t80UVLV4_sAMByqx4V08%22%2C%22fref%22%3A%22mentions%22%7D" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1">Adarsh Prathap</a> and he lives in India.

&#8220;Thank you for clarifying, Greta,&#8221; responded Prathap. &#8220;It&#8217;s my pleasure to help you out as much I can.&#8221;
&#8220;And a word to people who are running behind Greta and now me to attack on twitter and facebook,&#8221; he added, &#8220;Let’s talk about climate breakdown and solutions. Let’s support each other to overcome this crisis together!&#8221;
Earlier this month, Svantes revealed that he initially thought his daughter&#8217;s far-left &#8220;activism was a &#8216;bad idea&#8217; and that he and his wife were &#8216;not&#8217; supportive of it,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gretas-dad-climate-change-a-question-her-activism-a-bad-idea">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
“She decided to do this. We said quite clearly that we would not support it,” Svante told the media. “Well, obviously we thought it was a bad idea, putting yourself out there with all the hate on social media and the idea of your own daughter sort of putting herself on the very front line of such a huge question like climate change.”

Greta Thunberg And Svante Thunberg

Facebook Glitch Reveals Father, Activist Behind Greta Thunberg’s Facebook Page. Greta Responds.

Far-left climate extremist Greta Thunberg demanded in a new op-ed that world leaders cave to her anti-capitalist agenda &#8220;right now&#8221; as they prepare to meet in Davos for the 50th anniversary of the World Economic Forum.
&#8220;We demand that at this year’s forum, participants from all companies, banks, institutions and governments immediately halt all investments in fossil fuel exploration and extraction, immediately end all fossil fuel subsidies and immediately and completely divest from fossil fuels,&#8221; Thunberg <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/10/greta-thunberg-davos-tycoons-fossil-fuels-dismantle-climate-crisis">wrote</a> in an op-ed in The Guardian. &#8220;We don’t want these things done by 2050, 2030 or even 2021, we want this done now – as in right now.&#8221;
&#8220;To some it may seem like we are asking for a lot,&#8221; Thunberg continued. &#8220;But this is just the very minimum of effort needed to start the rapid sustainable transition. The fact that this still – in 2020 – hasn’t been done already is, quite frankly, a disgrace.&#8221;
&#8220;Anything less than immediately ceasing these investments in the fossil fuel industry would be a betrayal of life itself,&#8221; Thunberg claimed. &#8220;Today’s business as usual is turning into a crime against humanity.&#8221;
In November, Thunberg <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/greta-snaps-change-everything-climate-crisis-about-colonial-racist-and-patriarchal-systems-of-oppression-fossil-fuel-literally">wrote</a> an op-ed in which she attacked capitalism, claiming that “politicians let the profiteers continue to exploit our planet’s resources and destroy its ecosystems in a quest for quick cash that threatens our very existence.”
&#8220;That action must be powerful and wide-ranging. After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment,&#8221; Thunberg admitted. &#8220;It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities.&#8221;
Thunberg also went off on capitalism during a speech at the United Nations last year where she made numerous salacious claims.

Transcript of Thunberg’s speech at the U.N.:
My message is that we’ll be watching you. This is all wrong, I shouldn’t be up here, I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet, you all come to us young people for hope, how dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words and yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you.
For more than 30 years the science has been crystal-clear. How dare you continue to look away and come here saying that you’re doing enough when the politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight. You say you hear us and that you understand the urgency but no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act then you would be evil and that I refuse to believe.
The popular idea of cutting our emissions in half in 10 years only gives us a 50% chance of staying below 1.5 degrees and the risk of setting of irreversible chain reactions beyond human control. 50% may be acceptable to you but those numbers do not include tipping points, most feedback loops, additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution, or the aspects of equity and climate justice, they also rely on my generation sucking hundreds of billions of tons of your CO2 out of the air with technologies that barely exist. So, a 50% risk is simply not acceptable to us, we who have to live with the consequences.
How dare you pretend that this can be sold with just business as usual and some technical solutions with today’s emissions levels that remaining CO2 budgets will be entirely gone within less than 8 and a half years. There will not be any solutions or plans presented in line with these figures here today because these numbers are too uncomfortable and you are still not mature enough to tell it like it is. You are failing us but the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you and if you choose to fail us I say we will never forgive you. We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now, is where we draw the line the world is waking up and change is coming whether you like it or not.

Greta Snaps Over Demands: ‘We Want This Done Now – As In Right Now’

Remember rock music icon Meat Loaf? He’s 72 now, and he has some thoughts on climate change and teen activist Greta Thunberg.
Specifically, the best-selling musician says the 16-year-old activist has been “brainwashed” into believing climate change is real, something he himself says is not happening. The “Bat Out Of Hell” singer <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7836977/Self-confessed-sex-god-Meat-Loaf-72-threesomes-losing-70lb-climate-change.html">told</a> The Daily mail that he does not believe the world’s climate is changing and that he feels sorry for Thunberg.
“I feel for that Greta. She has been brainwashed into thinking that there is climate change and there isn&#8217;t,” said Meat Loaf, whose real name is Marvin Lee Aday. “She hasn&#8217;t done anything wrong but she&#8217;s been forced into thinking that what she is saying is true.”
Meat Loaf previously appeared on President Donald Trump’s NBC show “The Apprentice” in 2010, and said in the same interview that he hopes Netflix would hire him for a role.
Thunberg rose to national prominence in 2019 by claiming world leaders had stolen her childhood by not responding adequately enough to climate change. She has not put forth a plan that would actually stop climate change without destroying much of the world’s economy, however.
Just last week, her father, Svante, told the BBC Radio 4 Today that he felt his daughter’s activism was a “bad idea” and that neither he nor his wife supported it.
“She decided to do this. We said quite clearly that we would not support it,” Thunberg said during the interview, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gretas-dad-climate-change-a-question-her-activism-a-bad-idea">reported</a>. “Well, obviously we thought it was a bad idea, putting yourself out there with all the hate on social media and the idea of your own daughter sort of putting herself on the very front line of such a huge question like climate change.”
Svante was then asked if there was “ever a moment when you think, I would just like us to go back to being an ordinary family before all of this began?”
Svante responded:
I can see Greta is very happy from doing this and I saw where she was before, I mean she didn’t speak to a single person, she could only eat in her own home, and when she went on the school strike, I think day 3, someone came along and gave her like Pad Thai vegan and she ate it and that was like, I can not explain how much, what a change that meant to her and to us and it was just like she changed and she could do things that she could never have done before and now she’s just like any other. You think she’s not ordinary now because she’s special and she’s very famous and all these things but to me she’s now an ordinary child. She can do all the things like other people can and she’s happy. She dances around, she laughs a lot, we have a lot of fun and she’s in a very good place.
Thunberg was named TIME Magazine’s 2019 person of the year for her activism and angry rants about how her generation was being robbed by climate change.

Meat Loaf Says Greta Thunberg Has Been ‘Brainwashed’ Into Believing Climate Change Is Real

Meat Loaf

President Donald Trump mocks Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) as a &#8220;low IQ person.&#8221;
Maybe he&#8217;s got a point.
The 81-year-old career politician &#8212; who has been calling for Trump&#8217;s impeachment since the day he took office &#8212; appears to have been tricked by Russian pranksters into thinking she was talking to Greta Thunberg, who reportedly claimed she had dirt on Trump.
The pranksters, Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, who go by the stage names Vovan and Lexus, recently posted a video of them talking to a woman, who identified herself as Maxine Waters in the audio. One pretends to be Greta, the other to be her father.
The conversation begins with the fake Greta telling Waters that she is in North Carolina at a climate summit calling for the protection of the fake &#8220;Chon-Go-Chango&#8221; islands.
&#8220;Chon-Go-Chango?&#8221; Waters asks. &#8220;That island is particularly threatened?&#8221;
&#8220;Yes,&#8221; fake Greta says.
The fake Greta then asks Waters to make some comments to the meeting, and the California Democrat does so, praising Greta.
Then the Russian playing Greta tells Waters that she had a meeting with Trump at the United Nations back in September.
&#8220;It was a really terrible meeting in the U.N. building in September with him. And I had nightmares afterwards. It&#8217;s terrible,&#8221; fake Greta told Waters. &#8220;I saw him in the hallway. He was with security and I shouted at him, &#8216;Sign the Paris Climate Agreement again!&#8217; He came over, he leaned in towards me, and said softly, &#8216;Listen carefully to me, little girl. You will never achieve your goal, like the congressional goal, trying to accuse me.'&#8221;
&#8220;He said you will never achieve your goal? Oh my goodness.&#8221; Waters said, sounding shocked. &#8220;Did you ask him if he would rethink signing the Paris Climate Agreement? Is that your question to him?&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, yes,&#8221; one of the Russians said.  &#8220;He added that &#8230; &#8216;You know what? I&#8217;ll tell you the truth. I really wanted to push the Ukraine president to put my competitor on trial.'&#8221;
Her fake father then joined in.
&#8220;[Trump] said to her, &#8216;You know, little girl, nobody believes you anyway, I will tell you the truth. I really pushed on Ukrainian president and you know that you will never achieve your goals like those congressional fools who accuse me,” the fictional parent told Waters. &#8220;So nobody will believe you. You will be on trial like my competitor.&#8221;
&#8220;Oh, my God! He mentioned Ukrainian president?&#8221; Waters asked.
&#8220;Yes, he said that,&#8221; the Russian said. &#8220;And he added, &#8216;Nobody will believe you anyway.'&#8221;

The fake father said his daughter had a recording of her exchange with Trump, adding that &#8220;he pushed on the Ukrainian president. I think he didn&#8217;t expect that we have a record of that.&#8221;
That prompted Waters to ask: &#8220;Are you going to be in Washington anytime soon? I want you to come meet with me in Washington.&#8221; And she added about the recording: &#8220;Well, you bring it to me. You tell me what day you can get there and we&#8217;ll arrange to meet with you as quickly as we can. &#8230; I will make myself available whenever you get there.&#8221;
It wasn&#8217;t the first time the Russian pranksters tricked a lawmaker. The radio hosts once told Rep. Adam Schiff  (D-CA) that the Kremlin had naked photos of Trump, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-rep-digs-up-audio-of-schiff-saying-he-would-accept-dirt-on-trump-from-ukrainian-politician-in-prank-call">Fox News</a> reported.  They also told the California Democrat that former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn “had met with another Russian to talk about how to prevent the photos from going public.”
“So, you have recordings of both [Russian journalist Ksenia] Sobchak and [Russian model and singer Olga] Buzova where they’re discussing the compromising material on Mr. Trump?” Schiff asked the callers, who were pretending to be Andriy Parubiy, the former speaker of Ukraine’s parliament.
“Absolutely,” one of the pranksters says.

WATCH: Russian Pranksters Dupe Maxine Waters By Calling As Greta Thunberg Claiming To Have Dirt On Trump

Maxine Waters

It is not easy to understand what the Left — as opposed to liberals — stands for. If you ask a Christian what to read to learn the basics of Christianity, you will be told the Bible. If you ask a (religious) Jew, you will be told the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud. If you ask a Mormon, you will be told the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Ask a Muslim, and you will be told the Quran.
But if you ask a leftist what one or two books you should read to understand leftism, every leftist will give you a different answer — or need some time to think it over. Few, if any, will suggest Marx&#8217;s &#8220;Das Kapital&#8221; because almost no leftists have read it and because you will either not finish the book or reject it as incoherent.
So, then, how is one to understand what leftism stands for?
The truth is it is almost impossible. What leftist in history would have ever imagined that to be a leftist, one would have to believe that men give birth or men have periods, or that it is fair to women to have to compete in sports with biological males who identify as females?
There are two primary reasons it is so difficult, if not impossible, to define leftism. One is that it ultimately stands for chaos:
— Open borders.
— &#8220;Nonbinary&#8221; genders.
— Nonsensical and scatological &#8220;art.&#8221;
— &#8220;Music&#8221; without tonality, melody or harmony.
— Drag Queen Story Hour for 5-year-olds.
— Rejection of the concept of better or worse civilizations.
— Rejection of the concept of better or worse art.
— Removal of Shakespeare&#8217;s picture from a university English department because he was a white male.
— The end of all use of fossil fuels — even in transportation (as per the recent recommendation by the head of the U.N. World Meteorological Organization).
— The dismantling of capitalism, the economic engine that has lifted billions of people out of abject poverty.
And much more.
The other major reason it is impossible to define leftism is that it is emotion-based. Leftism consists of causes that give those who otherwise lack meaning something to cling to for meaning.
Two things about Greta Thunberg, Time Magazine&#8217;s 2019 person of the year, embody these explanations.
With regard to chaos, here is what Greta Thunberg wrote at the beginning of the month: &#8220;The climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice and of political will. Colonial, racist and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fuelled it. We need to dismantle them all.&#8221;
Greta Thunberg, like all leftists, seeks to dismantle just about everything. As former President Barack Obama said five days before the 2008 election, &#8220;We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.&#8221;
As regards emotion and meaning, the Guardian reports, this is what Thunberg&#8217;s father just told the BBC: &#8220;Greta Thunberg&#8217;s father has opened up about how activism helped his daughter out of depression &#8230; how activism had changed the outlook of the teenager, who suffered from depression for &#8216;three or four years&#8217; before she began her school strike protest outside the Swedish parliament. She was now &#8216;very happy&#8217;, he said &#8230; &#8216;She stopped talking &#8230; she stopped going to school,&#8217; he said of her illness.&#8221;
The post-Judeo-Christian world the Left has created has left a vast number of the West&#8217;s citizens, especially more and more young people, with no meaning. This Grand-Canyon-sized hole is filled by leftist causes.
The fact is life is better, safer and more affluent, and offers more opportunities for more people, than ever before in history. Just about all emotionally stable, mature people should be walking around the West almost delirious at their good fortune. Americans in particular should feel this way. But leftists (again, as opposed to many liberals) are not usually emotionally stable and are certainly not mature. That is why depression among young Americans (and perhaps Swedes) is at the highest levels ever recorded. So, like Greta, they look to left-wing causes to find meaning and emotional fulfillment. Until she embraced climate crisis activism — a chance, as she sees it, to literally save the world — Greta Thunberg was so depressed &#8220;she stopped talking.&#8221; But thanks to climate activism and other left-wing activism, she is now &#8220;very happy&#8221; (an assessment I suspect many observers find hard to believe).
Feminism and &#8220;fighting patriarchy&#8221; (in an age when American women have more opportunities than ever before and more opportunities than women almost anywhere else in the world), fighting racism (in the least racist multiracial society in history), fighting white supremacy (which has almost disappeared from American life) and fighting on behalf of myriad other leftist causes — in other words, fundamentally transforming society — gives meaning to people with no meaning.
None of that is morally or rationally coherent. But it is very emotionally satisfying. Just ask Greta Thunberg&#8217;s dad.

PRAGER: Greta Thunberg: A Living Explanation Of The Left

Leftism

Svante Thunberg, Greta Thunberg&#8217;s father, revealed during a recent media interview that he initially thought what she was doing with her far-left activism was a &#8220;bad idea&#8221; and that he and his wife were &#8220;not&#8221; supportive of it.
In the interview with BBC Radio 4 Today released Sunday, Thunberg also notably referenced climate change as a &#8220;question,&#8221; suggesting he is not as bought in on his daughter&#8217;s cause as she is.
&#8220;She decided to do this. We said quite clearly that we would not support it,&#8221; Thunberg said. &#8220;Well, obviously we thought it was a bad idea, putting yourself out there with all the hate on social media and the idea of your own daughter sort of putting herself on the very front line of such a huge question like climate change.&#8221;
The BBC asked, &#8220;So, it’s not that you have pushed her to do this? Because that question often gets asked of young people in the public eye … you haven’t pushed her to do this?&#8221;
&#8220;No, on the contrary, we said if you are going to do it then you’re going to have to do it by yourself, you’re going to have to be incredibly well prepared, you have to have all the answers to all the questions and she says ‘OK’,&#8221; Thunberg responded. &#8220;So she made this leaflet of like 35 facts and with all the sources to all the facts, to all the reports and stuff and she had those leaflets on the ground and whenever the journalists came along she would answer all their questions and that was the surprising thing because she didn’t speak to anyone at the time. She only spoke to me, my wife, her sister, and one of the teachers.&#8221;
Thunberg also opened up about the depression that his daughter has struggled with and how crippling it was to her life.
&#8220;Like 3 or 4 years before she went on the school strike she fell ill and she stopped talking, she stopped eating, and all these things,&#8221; Thunberg said. &#8220;She stopped going to school, she was basically home for a year and she didn’t eat for 3 months or 2.5 months, which of course was the ultimate nightmare as a parent. You have food and you need food to survive, and your child can’t eat it.&#8221;
&#8220;Is there ever a moment when you think, I would just like us to go back to being an ordinary family before all of this began?&#8221; the BBC asked. &#8220;Or do you have the same sense of purpose that she does?&#8221;
&#8220;I can see Greta is very happy from doing this and I saw where she was before, I mean she didn’t speak to a single person, she could only eat in her own home, and when she went on the school strike, I think day 3, someone came along and gave her like Pad Thai vegan and she ate it and that was like, I can not explain how much, what a change that meant to her and to us and it was just like she changed and she could do things that she could never have done before and now she’s just like any other,&#8221; Thunberg responded. &#8220;You think she’s not ordinary now because she’s special and she’s very famous and all these things but to me she’s now an ordinary child. She can do all the things like other people can and she’s happy. She dances around, she laughs a lot, we have a lot of fun and she’s in a very good place.&#8221;

Greta’s Dad: Climate Change A ‘Question,’ Her Activism A ‘Bad Idea’

Americans have ranked former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump equally in an annual “most admired man in the world” poll, according to a survey conducted by <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/273125/obama-trump-tie-admired-man-2019.aspx">Gallup</a> earlier this month. 
The survey, which asked Americans “What man that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most,” showed that respondents named both Obama and Trump as the most admired man 18% of the time. Respondents also had a similar answer for the most admired woman, with 10% naming former First Lady Michelle Obama and 5% naming First Lady Melania Trump. 
“Trump&#8217;s popularity grew enough this year to allow him to tie Barack Obama as the most admired man, but not to end Obama&#8217;s streak of 12 first-place finishes,” reads the report. “The results reflect the significant party divide in the U.S., with Republicans overwhelmingly naming Trump and Democrats Obama, and few other men garnering significant mention.”
“Meanwhile, Obama&#8217;s wife Michelle has been named as the most admired woman the past two years after 25 years that saw Hillary Clinton finish first 22 times,” the report continues. “In fact, Obama has had stronger finishes in the past two years than during her eight years as first lady, when no more than 8% of Americans named her.”
The report also features a new, but perhaps unsurprising arrival on the list: Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg. Although the activist is not even old enough to be surveyed, she tied with media mogul Oprah Winfrey and former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for the most influential woman in the world, with each person receiving 3% support from respondents. Thunberg also out-ranked other popular choices, including Queen Elizabeth II, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who each received 2% support. 
Thunberg, who made headlines after traveling to the U.S. via boat to speak at the U.N. about climate, has become an odd fixation for left-wing pundits and voters alike. In fact, according to The Hill, people on the online dating website OKCupid have started mentioning Thunberg as a way to find and weed out potential partners. 
“One of the issues we’re hearing people care about is climate change,” Melissa Hobley, the chief marketing officer for OKCupid, told <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/476213-okcupid-2019-was-the-year-greta-thunberg-helped-people-get">The Hill</a>. “They’re talking about Greta on their profiles. &#8230; I think people feel that supporting her or not shows how you feel about the issue and its impact.”
Time Magazine also awarded Thunberg its &#8220;Person of the Year&#8221; award, writing in an article that “her moral clarity” serves to inspire “other young people around the world.” President Trump, who was also a contender for the title, issued the following response to the announcement, drawing attention to Thunberg’s propensity to scold others for not doing enough. 
“So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!”
