OSLO (Reuters) -Environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg and dozens of other activists on Monday blocked entrances to Norway's energy ministry, protesting against wind turbines built on land traditionally used by indigenous Sami reindeer herders.
Thunberg, a vocal advocate for the ending the world's reliance on carbon-based power, said the transition to green energy could not come at the expense of indigenous rights.
"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. Then it is not climate justice," Thunberg told Reuters while sitting outside the ministry's main entrance with other demonstrators.
Norway's supreme court in 2021 ruled that two wind farms built in central Norway violated Sami rights under international conventions, but the turbines remain in operation more than 16 months later.
Reindeer herders in the Nordic country say the sight and sound of the giant wind power machinery frighten their animals and disrupt age-old traditions.
"We are here to demand that the turbines must be torn down and that legal rights must be respected," said Sami singer-songwriter, actress and activist Ella Marie Haetta Isaksen.

Greta “I’m against everything” Thunberg Protest again..... This is not news 🤣
Hee hee hee. The little Swedish Meatball is going after the big money envirolunatics.
Hold on I though the greenies wanted wind turbines ???
Intersectionality at its finest. :-)
The mind of the liberal.
The world will end unless the human race fixes Climate Change, except those places with indigenous people who are everywhere.
YOU CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, GRETA
Where exactly are white people considered to be the indigenous race?
These people have no idea what they are fighting for.
Eek!!! 😨😱😳🙀
NIMBY hits fake climate change
Hey weirdo’s, did you hear about the train crash in east Ohio
OK, the Sami are indigenous, but aren’t everyone else?
She’s being perfectly consistent here... the goal was never to build alternatives to oil and gas. The goal has been to use wind/solar to eliminate oil and gas, then remove the wind/solar. She’s pro-Sami because their lifestyle is pre-industrial, which is what Thunberg and the rest seek to impose on everyone else.
Don’t tell me she’s not benefitting financially from this little sideshow.
“Hold on I though the greenies wanted wind turbines ???”
If it takes DEMANDING wind turbines one day, and then protesting particular wind turbines the next day, staying quiet while the US blows up their pipelines - it’s all good and fine for the agenda of her handlers, which is to turn Europe into an S-hole bunch of countries.
The universe is self balancing.
greenies = NIMBYs
Same here. She went off script. She will be disappeared/silence by the left. Just watch
Can’t use what works(oil & gas), can’t build anything new, according to leftists.
