Greta Thunberg is out protesting wind farms now. So much for saving the planet.

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!

She should be protesting the 43 million tonnes of blade waste by 2050 instead of a few frickin' reindeer.

She is such a little spoiled brat. She needed a whole lot more disapline along the way....too bad she didn’t get it. Or maybe it was the parents that needed it as well.

Not but 30 minutes ago I was treated to the oddest sight.

Driving west on I-30, a few miles west of Abilene, Texas, I look over to my left and there’s wind farms as far as I can see. Massive, unsightly windmills pretending to provide electricity.

Over to my right, oil derricks pumping away. Real energy.

The default position of leftist women is ugly. If not on the outside for certain on the inside. Greta has said she wants to destroy capitalism so she ticks off the inner box.

If you look at her picture.. Post #22 in this thread, she suspiciously looks like a BOY masquerading as a GIRL.

WHY? It's her THICK masculine neck that sends that signal to me.
