If your enemies are mad at you, you're doing something right.

It's Sweden. They're going to fine her while telling her that they're on her side but "rules are rules", and meanwhile keep on consuming exactly like before without having reflected for a second on anything at all.

Let's not forget the real villains: "Cutting oil and gas production would be "dangerous and irresponsible", the head of energy company Shell told BBC News."

Go her. She’s doing very inspirational actions. Hopefully the courts see that.

Police exist to protect capital from even the most basic inconvenience.

ACAB.

Greta is a true treasure and I'm always happy to see her in the news.

How dare they.

Imagine worrying about climate change and not world hunger. The combines need gas dang it

Climate change is the biggest thread to food production. Food and water scarcity will be (and to some extend already are) among the very first noticable catastrophic effects of climate change.

Climate change has the real possibility of affecting rich people.

Poor people having stable access to food would negatively affect the wealthy. Who else would, say, desperately mine our cobalt?
