They say she is using ‘the climate movement to throw her support behind the Palestinians’. Well, good on her.

“Silence is complicity,” Thunberg added. “You cannot be neutral in a genocide.” She is right.

I’m not sure this really applies here. She puts a lot of hard work and effort into spreading her message.

When the state media of one of the biggest fossil fuel exporter in the world is cheering for you, you might want to reconsider what you are doing as a climate activist.

They can cheer for whomever they wish. What you do mean much more than what people think of you.

This article is mostly ‘cheering’ for Greta’s stance on Palestine rather than climate. Besides, it’s written by a Canadian journalist.

LOL, that’s like saying any positive article from PBS or CBC is bad given the US & Canada are even bigger oil producers

So what you want is that all a fossil fuel company needs to do to sabotage a climate movement is to endorse someone in it?

Greta did the climate movement a massive favor. Their words would have sounded very hollow if they decoupled other important issues. It would signal we only care about humanitarian catastrophes when they affect us.

Her words are like Sophie Scholls, but I really wish a bit more consequential in the present time.

The machines working against her are just so vast.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
