In the brewing Green Civil War, Ms. Thunberg has decided to jump in and fight.
Here is Greta’s Facebook post
Background from RealClear Energy
Like many contemporary social movements—#metoo, Black Lives Matter, the Women’s March—the environmental lobby has tended to create an atmosphere of unanimity. In its struggle to win public and elite opinion, it has frequently evoked “science” as something settled and immutable, warning that those who dissent are either self-serving or seriously deranged.
Yet in recent months, there has been growing criticism about the current green orthodoxy, including from people long associated with environmental causes. This has been most widely seen in the strange case of the Michael Moore–produced Planet of Humans, which exposes the rapacious profit-seeking and gratuitous environmental damage caused by the renewable energy industry.

And subsequently the conflict has increased with Shellenberger and more. .
I mean, who could have guessed Ms. Thunberg would jump in?
On every issue, today’s Progressives insist there is nothing to discuss.
Their screaming mob has no ears.
It’s funny how the hateful left turns on their own a little bit more than usual these days. (You can call it a symptom of the unusually higher unemployment rate) The “Portland mayor useful idiot” got devoured by the monster it nourished, and I thought it was pretty hilarious.
Good job on your post above, it was a really great read.
Meh… I shoulda written “he nourished” but technically, a tool can be described as “it”, so… Not a big deal.
Once again, in the interest of media accuracy, the headline should read
“Greta’s Dad Takes a Side”
I think you are wildly underestimating her. She is a force to be reckoned with.
Yeah sure Greta who here 15 minutes has ended.
Greta has not just now taken a side in the green civil war. She has defined that side since September, if not before. https://www.cfact.org/2019/09/28/is-climate-alarmism-tearing-itself-apart/
Like it or not she is a major leader. Sneering does not change that.
Mind you the green civil war is not about blips like Shellenberger. It is a raging war between the moderates in power who want to slowly approach net zero by 2050 and the “action now” radicals like Greta and AOC. Note that the latter appear to have captured Biden and all the candidates before him.
Methinks she is just jealous of the violent riots (‘rowdy, mostly peaceful protests’) going on around the world that are NOT about global warming.
Where are all the greenies showing up at federal buildings with baseball bats, power tools, and fireworks, to have a ‘conversation’ about climate?
Deniers aren’t the problem, the problem is that they now see how guano-crazy people can get over one incoherent perceived grievance, but not about their grievance of choice.
They realize they have been left behind, and their pet cause is no longer fashionable, which is the death knell for any pseudo-scientific religious movement.
I must have read thousands of pages over the years about global warming, climate change, call it what you will, but not one has mentioned where it all started. UN Agenda 21. It is not a conspiracy theory, it is very, very, real and much of humanity are falling into its evil web without realising. CO2 is a major building block for 99% of all living beings. It is not a poison. The real poison comes from the mouths of those with little understanding of real scientific theory. I have lived long enough not to have my education sabotaged by misinformed idealists. Lord Christopher Monckton would, I’m sure, agree with me common sense should have told folk they are being hoodwinked.

Can’t wait to see Naomi Seibt’s next Climate Video. I understand that Lord Monckton has been under the weather/ill.
(Have you all subscribed to Naomi’s channel ? – I did – it’s refreshing, compared to Greta)
