For climate skeptics, it’s hard to compete with the youthful appeal of global phenomenon Greta Thunberg. But one U.S. think tank hopes it’s found an answer: the anti-Greta.
Naomi Seibt is a 19-year-old German who, like Greta, is blond, eloquent and European. But Naomi denounces “climate alarmism,” calls climate consciousness “a despicably anti-human ideology,” and has even deployed Greta’s now famous “How dare you?” line to take on the mainstream German media.
“She’s a fantastic voice for free markets and for climate realism,” said James Taylor, director of the Arthur B. Robinson Center for Climate and Environmental Policy at the Heartland Institute, an influential libertarian think tank in suburban Chicago that has the ear of the Trump administration.

In December, Heartland headlined Naomi at its forum at the UN climate conference in Madrid, where Taylor described her as “the star” of the show. Last month, Heartland hired Naomi as the young face of its campaign to question the scientific consensus that human activity is causing dangerous global warming.

“Naomi Seibt vs. Greta Thunberg: whom should we trust?” asked Heartland in a digital video. Later this week, Naomi is set to make her American debut at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, a high-profile annual gathering just outside Washington of right-leaning activists.

Naomi argues that these predictions of dire consequences are exaggerated. In a video posted on Heartland’s website, she gazes into the camera and says, “I don’t want you to panic. I want you to think.”


Naomi said her political activism was sparked a few years ago when she began asking questions in school about Germany’s liberal immigration policies. She said the backlash from teachers and other students hardened her skepticism about mainstream German thinking. More recently, she said that watching young people joining weekly “Fridays For Future” protests inspired by Greta helped spur her opposition to climate change activism. “I get chills when I see those young people, especially at Fridays for Future. They are screaming and shouting and they’re generally terrified,” she said in an interview. “They don’t want the world to end.”

I'm really enjoying that smug pete campbell av
It was inevitable. Instead of considering "how can we change to help preserve the planet and its inhabitants?" The corporate response is "how can we con people into accepting us pillaging the planet to enrich ourselves?"
 
I don't really have an opinion on the anti-Greta, good luck to her, I hope this kickstarts a glittering media career for her. But what I do think is . . . even if you don't believe in climate change or you don't think it's as bad as some would have us believe, how can you watch videos of beaches covered in plastic, people and animals suffering because of our wasteful lives and not think 'okay, we've gotta do something here'?
 
So, what if Greta Thunberg is wrong, and Noami Seibt is right what damage will be done to the planet by sorting your rubbish in your dustbins.
By reducing the dependency on plastic.
By stopping using coal, petrol, oil, gas, nuclear power etc:
By creating a better life for the people on the planet what harm does it do for people and animals, well if you are against stopping the climate control, will you be causing the worlds population long term harm.
And if Noami Seibt is wrong I hope she knows how to apologise.
