If you've ever wondered if Greta Thunberg is an environmentalist or a Marxist, I think her most recent stunt will give you your answers.
The infamous climate warrior is in the news once again, but not for fighting fossil fuels this time.
Nope, this time she's protesting green energy, particularly against the use of wind turbines in Norway.
She and a group of 10 people were removed from government grounds in Oslo for protesting for the removal of a wind farm.
The wind turbines in question were built on the reindeer grazing lands of the Sámi people, the only indigenous group recognized by the European Union, and the wind turbines are bothering the herders (not so much the reindeer).
"Indigenous rights, human rights, must go hand-in-hand with climate protection and climate action. That can't happen at the expense of some people," Thunberg said.
One activist called the wind turbines an example of "green colonization."
I'm going to start using that one every time I see a wind farm.
Steve Trent, CEO and Founder of the Environmental Justice Foundation said,
"The Sámi did not cause the climate crisis, and their traditional ways of life - which they have practiced for millennia - should not be jeopardized by efforts to resolve it.
"Our efforts to roll back global heating must be equitable and fair," he added.
Confused yet?
The short answer is that none of the climate hysteria is about saving the planet at any cost.
If it were, we'd be building green energy wherever we could and going to war to end fossil fuel use.
The world is ending, people! We got to do what we got to do!
Clearly, the green movement is all about equalizing the world through the reduction of reliable energy in industrial nations. Everyone going backward together is progress for the commies.
If a person in rural Kyrgyzstan doesn't have heat in the winter, no one else in the world ought to either!
I hope she glues her hands to a wind turbine blade ...
wooosh, woosh, woosh, How dare you?
woosh, woosh,,woosh...
Hence the word “Watermelon”. Green on the outside, red on the inside.
It's very simple. She's for the latest thing.
What harm does she think will come to the Sami as a result of the windmill farms. She doesn’t think those are FLYING reindeer, does she?
Ok... Live and learn!!
So she’s got plenty of her own money to drive around her jobless black boyfriend!!
:P
Wind farms are bad things regardless of whether Greta protests them or not.
Principles Before Personalities.
Windmills are a blight and a joke.
I haven’t checked recently but when I did maybe 5 year back, the cost to build and install a windmill was greater than the expected income from the energy generation it would provide over its life expectancy.
Entire industry exists because the government subsidizes it, and everyone in the energy sector knows it.
T. Boone Pickens...............
Well heck...I agree with the little moron on something.
Stopped clock.................
Interesting...NEWB.
Wind farms have a negative environmental impact just like every source of power does. Not producing any power at all would have an even greater impact though as desperate people burn whatever they can for fuel. There simply is no way to avoid negative impact altogether. The best options involve trade offs and is likely nuclear power in well designed plants.
There... fixed it for you.
She’s an actress, like her parents, who changes roles like she changes her underwear.
The correct title is St. Greta of Thunberg.
“NEWB”
Seriously?! What are you, like 5 years old? Why not revert to calling me a “poopy face”?
Goodness gracious me. What a maroon.
Well, I’ll agree with Greta on that one. They are worthless, kill birds by the millions, and they will sooner than later become serious contributors of trash.
She had anoxia so bad growing up it stunted her puberty and damaged her heart.
