Greta Thunberg has worn a Palestinian headdress while attending a banned anti-motorway protest in France. The Swedish climate change activist, 21, joined protestors in Saix where police had fired tear gas and made arrests the previous day. Thunberg came as part of a delegation of French, Belgian, Swedish and Spanish activists to the site near the southwestern city of Toulouse.

Wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh, Thunberg said: 'We are here to stand in solidarity with the people who are resisting...

A judge has thrown out the case against climate activist Greta Thunberg after blocking the entrance to an oil and gas industry during a protest. On Friday, Judge John Law acquitted Thunberg and her four co-defendants of a charge of resisting a police order to leave from a protest that was obstructing the entrance to a conference for the oil and gas industry in London last year. The law cited “significant deficiencies in the evidence” presented by the prosecutor and cleared them of the criminal charge of breaching the Public Order Act.

How the political elites exploited Greta’s moral immaturity to impose their punishing eco-agenda.This week Greta Thunberg turned 21. Yes, the diminutive doom-monger is a full-on grown-up now. The pint-sized predictor of End Times has passed the final threshold of adulthood. Once the world’s best-known petulant teen, never knowingly appearing in public without wearing the scowl of the self-righteous youth, Ms Thunberg has reached the full age of majority. She’s so old she could legally get pissed in America if she wants. Though that seems unlikely, given she once said she ‘would never go out drinking’: ‘I would never do anything…...

Is it time for change at the UN? A recent petition has stirred global attention, calling for Greta Thunberg’s appointment as the UN Ambassador for Climate Action. Love her or loathe her, you can’t ignore her, she’s instantly recognisable and everyone knows where she stands on environmental issues. Greta Thunberg, the 20-year-old Swedish climate activist came to prominence in 2018, when as a schoolgirl she went ‘on strike’ from school to raise awareness of the planet’s climate crisis. Since then she has become a global icon, a champion for many activists around the world, with the power to muster protests...

Greta Thunberg received a lot of heat after posting a picture with some fellow "activists" holding up signs such as "Stand with Gaza" and "Free Palestine." However it wasn't the signs that upset people the most. It was the object balanced on the knee of the girl behind Thunberg. (It was a stuffed octopus toy. I can't tell its color).

Greta Thunberg is so thoughtful.

The State of Israel responded to a social media post by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg Friday in support of Palestinians. "The world needs to speak up and call for an immediate ceasefire, justice and freedom for Palestinians and all civilians affected," the 20-year-old posted to X, formerly known as Twitter. Israel's X account, managed by the Middle Eastern country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, did not mince words as it fired back just over an hour after Thunberg's second version of the tweet. ".@GretaThunberg, Hamas doesn’t use sustainable materials for their rockets which have BUTCHERED innocent Israelis. The victims of...

Veteran climate worrier Greta Thunberg announced Friday she has shifted her attention away from the world’s weather to focus on Israel’s fate as it fights Hamas and its associated terrorist organizations. Thunberg took to social media and posted on X – formerly known as Twitter – to call a strike “in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza. The world needs to speak up and call for an immediate ceasefire, justice and freedom for Palestinians and all civilians affected.” She also wants an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Week 270. Today we strike in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza. The world...

‘Oscars of oil’: What is the Energy Intelligence Forum and why are activists trying to shut it down?Greta Thunberg has been arrested while disrupting a major oil industry conference in London today. The Swedish activist was detained by police after she joined hundreds of other protesters outside the Energy Intelligence Forum, which is taking place at the InterContinental London Park Lane hotel in Mayfair. Executives of the world’s biggest oil and gas companies are taking part in the three-day conference which runs from 17-19 October, alongside financiers and UK ministers.

Yelling that the future and their lives depend on ending fossil fuels, tens of thousands of protesters on Sunday kicked off a week where leaders will try once again to curb climate change primarily caused by coal, oil and natural gas. But protesters say it's not going to be enough. And they aimed their wrath directly at President Biden, urging him to stop approving new oil and gas projects, phase out current ones and declare a climate emergency with larger executive powers. “We hold the power of the people, the power you need to win this election,” 17-year-old Emma Buretta...

Greta Thunberg will no longer appear at a large Scottish book festival this week, saying she does not want to be "associated with events" connected to the fossil fuel industry. The climate activist was set to appear at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, starting August 12, for an event called "Greta Thunberg: It's Not Too Late to Change the World," but said Friday she would no longer attend, accusing the main sponsor, Baillie Gifford, an investment management firm based in the UK, of "greenwashing." Greenwashing refers to a phenomenon of companies or firms that outwardly market themselves as environmentally conscious...

On June 6, Ukraine suffered an environmental catastrophe. The collapse of the Kakhovka dam in the south of the country sent water thundering downstream, killing more than 100 people according to Ukrainian officials. It wiped out villages, flooded farmland and nature reserves, and swept up pollutants like oil and agricultural chemicals as it made its destructive path towards the Black Sea. The causes of the collapse have yet to be established – whether it was targeted as part of Russia’s war in Ukraine, or whether it was a structural failure – but what is certain is that it is one...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met Thursday with Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg and prominent European figures who are forming a working group to address ecological damage from the 16-month-old Russian invasion.

Greta Thunberg, June 21, 2018: "A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years."

Five years ago, almost to the day, Greta Thunberg made an apocalyptic claim about the fate of the world, and now we know whether or not it has come true. On June 21, 2018, the then-15-year-old Swedish climate activist sent out an alarming tweet that seemed to imply that due to climate change caused by fossil fuels, we only had five years left before the end of the world. “A top scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years,” the tweet read. Thunberg obviously realized...
