Greta Thunberg is just an ordinary 16-year-old Swedish schoolgirl whose fiery visions have
convinced the parliaments of Britain and Ireland to declare a “climate emergency”. Greta’s
parents, actor Svante Thunberg and opera singer Malena Ernman, are just an ordinary pair
of parent-managers who want to save the planet. Query their motives, and you risk being
accused of “climate denial”, or of bullying a vulnerable child with Asperger’s. But the Greta
phenomenon has also involved green lobbyists, PR hustlers, eco-academics, and a think-tank
founded by a wealthy ex-minister in Sweden’s Social Democratic government with links to the
country’s energy companies. These companies are preparing for the biggest bonanza of
government contracts in history:
the greening of the Western economies. Greta, whether she
and her parents know it or not, is the face of their political strategy.________________________

Whatever Greta or her parents know or think, her eco-mob increases the likelihood of legislation
and investment that will make colossal profits for people like Global Challenge, We Don’t Have
Time and Sustainable Energy Angels. For Sweden’s energy titans, saving the planet means government
contracts to print the green stuff.
Green energy lobbyists use populist scare tactics and a children’s
crusade to bypass elected representatives, but their goal is technocracy not democracy, profit not
redistribution. Greta, a child of woke capitalism, is being used to ease the transition to green corporatism.
