It is nice to see this. Unlike high-school dropout Greta Thunberg, Naomi Seibt is an accelerated student and has a background in science and psychology. She received a degree in BA (Business Administration).
She went to St. Mauritz School and won first place in the youth competition research in physics. She graduated from high school at the age of 16 in 2017. She has now been engaged by The Heartland Institute to reach out to young people around the world.
She was a guest Thursday, February 27 on “The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino” on the Fox News Channel, the top-rated cable show in its time slot in the United States. She was invited on the program to talk about her work as a “climate realist” in her native Germany, where climate panic has taken hold among her generation, and the speech she will give at CPAC 2020.
Said Naomi: “I hate to see so many young people panicking about climate change” when they haven’t done their own research on the science.
“They don’t really know what they are talking about. They are so fearful about the future, and I want to give them back their hope.”

Naomi and Greta are unlikely to ever engage in public debate, as Naomi is informed articulate and capable of debate without a script.
‘Reading’ between lines of the TV reports from Bristol, today’s Grumpy Greta’s school children strike was a bit of a damp squib, washout or a wet flop whichever you prefer.
According to the BBC there were 15000 present, mainly children, although there were some university students and parents as well. She was spouting the same meaningless rhetoric. Naomi Seibt has been called the anti-Greta by the MSM.

Bristol pupil population in 2018 to 2019
– Bristol City of – state-funded mainstream secondary schools 21,907
– Bristol City of – state-funded mainstream primary schools 36,818
That makes total of 58,725 in the state schools, or about 25% took part, presumably private schools pupils had better things to do than go on strike.

As Coronavirus infection risk becomes global, global icon Greta is using her influence in a responsible way to stop the virus spreading (NOT!). Like – gathering 30,000 random children together in Bristol to moan about climate. Look how close they all are, breathing each other’s air 😀 . She has a talent to help good causes go viral – like a Coronavirus’ RNA!

Good points by RT notice Greta is using the same line again “the world is on fire” I find that insulting being in the UK we have had 2 months of relentless rain with deaths and properties and businesses flooded out.
Guardian the Grumpy Greta’s supporting paper quotes 15,000, the Russian TV might be doing their bit of a customary ‘agitprop’.
Bristol Live put it at 20,000.
The Grauniad claimed 25,000.
And the Daily Mail has it at 30,000 – maybe RT quotes them.
Don’t let Russophobia get the better of you 😁
I heard Greta using her “the world is on fire” line, via BBC Radio 4 news, as she was addressing a cold, rain-soaked audience in Bristol (I saw them later on TV), and as I was driving home in heavy rain, with an indicated temperature of 4 degrees C. (She sounded, frankly, quite unpleasant).
Of course the alarmists say that the Climate models predict warmer, wetter winters. OK, I’ll grant that this winter has been wet, but I won’t concede “warm”. Not particularly. Has often felt bloody cold to me.
And when we have a dry winter, then the alarmists say that’s also due to Climate Change, or Global Warming, or whatever they are calling it this month.
In another place another time I predicted increased Percipitatation in the winter months due to GSM
I was right
Nasty western society – we hates it! We hates it!
Has anybody been looking at The Guardian?
There is quite a smear campaign, trying to discredit Naomi Seibt.
Naomi Seibt sounds like a very effective “anti-Greta Thunberg”. She is only a few years older than Greta, so she can relate to Greta’s generation, and she herself had been a “climate alarmist”, but changed her mind after doing more research, and seems genuinely interested in true science, and increasing her own knowledge of a subject before speaking out on it. She also noted that her views were not very popular with other young people in her home town, but if she enjoys public speaking, she could be effective at changing their minds.
Although Naomi conceded that the climate is changing, she also noted that the climate has been changing for “millions of years” (implying that humans were not responsible before they appeared on earth), and that human influence on the climate was “very slight”.
It was difficult for her to discuss the subject completely in a four-minute interview. I wouldn’t blame Dana Perino for much during this interview, since she was a Press Secretary for former President George W. Bush, and a welcome change to the incompetent Scott McClellan. During her time as Press Secretary, the Supreme Court expressed its opinion that carbon dioxide could be regulated as a pollutant (the 2007 “endangerment finding”), although the EPA chose not to regulate under Bush, and only started regulating it under Obama.
If Naomi Seibt will be speaking at CPAC, she will probably be given more time than she had on Fox News, and be able to express her ideas more clearly. She may be able to give CPAC attendees (mostly Republicans) more ideas on how to reach the younger generation about the “climate change” issue, without being labeled as “science deniers”.
No one really denies that the CO2 concentration in the air is rising, and that climate can change, including due to natural causes that mankind cannot control. The real question is whether future climate changes will be disastrous (as claimed by the alarmists), or benign or even beneficial (as claimed by realists) and whether the costs of limiting human CO2 emissions outweigh the foreseeable benefits.

This comment is material for Naomi, a gifted speaker. Skiers, the powder snow is deep. The Leonardo DiCaprio’s Media Matters and Goldman energy partners are wedded to the stonewall Lobbying by Sen Timothy Wirth, CEO of Ted Turner’s $1B UN Foundation, message of Climate activists Jim Hansen, John P Holdren, Ann and Paul Ehrlich’s religious necessity we reduce world population to 1.5 Billion. Jim Hansen’s falsification of GISS data represented a triumph for Sen Wirth. Here’s an infamous revealing quote from a 1989 Discovery Magazine interview. The source is Steven Schneider, a population ecology climatologist at Stanford and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, CO. Schineder told Discovery:
“[We] are not just scientists but human beings as well. And like most people we’d like to see the world a better place?. To do that we need to get some broad-based support, to capture the public’s imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have?. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.”
I don’t understand why the MSM insists on calling he “Anti-Greta” when she’s repeatedly stated that she does not want to be called that and she does not consider herself anti-Greta in the slightest.
Lame discreditation attempt by MSM…
Yikes that Perino woman.
German girl rejects the idea that human CO2 emissions “are destroying the planet” or are bad for the planet.
Perino: “Are you saying that CO2 emissions don’t have ANY effect on climate?”
German girl, suddenly alarmed: No! No!
Perino: Okay that’s all we have time for.
Any effect on climate is bad in Perino’s mind. Does she know anything? Has she ever even thought about this subject?
She may be skeptical of the consensus/leftist view but it is clear she has never listened to anything else.
I thought Perino asked some good questions and got some good honest answers. . .
JPP
Did anyone see her CPAC talk? I couldn’t find it… I hope she didn’t get bumped (canceled) . . .
JPP
You should find it here.

It’s a symmetric answer seriously addressing histrionic pretenses. Which isn’t going to change anything because no one else sees Emperor’s clothes either, and it was already pointed out.
“I know, we need anti-Commissars who will lecture right back at them! This is going to work!”
Looks like the American conservatives are still themselves, all right.
Naomi was ambushed by Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain. He asked her if she believed that there has been dangerous warming, she responded no. Then he lit into her because she didn’t believe that there was any warming. She responded that he had asked about catastrophic warming he said that he only asked if she believed that the earth had warmed. Bait and switch slimeball journalism.
