Cont: Greta Thunberg - brave campaigner or deeply disturbed - part 3

It's really not a big mystery. No question about which came first.

Someone started a thread about Greta, so this is where we discuss Greta.

Search for " Trump ", and see how many hits you get compared to " Greta ".

Talk about obsession and focus .. No comparison. This may be one of the few discussions where Trump is never mentioned, well, up until now.
 
Honestly, you can't really call yourself a proper environmentalist unless you've been arrested for protesting. :D I noticed that Bob Brown (founder of the Australian Greens party) was arrested - again - the other day.
 
I think Thunberg has had the experience all over the world.

Germany w/ 40 sec. video: Klimataktivisten Greta Thunberg bortförd av tysk polis (SVT.se, Jan 15, 2023)
Germany (other occasion) w/ 24 sec. video: Här bärs Greta bort av tyska poliser igen (SVT.se, Mar 16, 2023)
Sweden w/ 30 sec. video: Timmar efter domen – Greta Thunberg genomför ny klimataktion i Malmö (SVT.se, July 24, 2023)

The Swedish version is a bit more peaceful in comparison to the first video from Germany, but in the second German video she seems to be getting the celebrity treatment.
 
In the second video, somebody says, "Now you'll get famous," to the guy who's not in uniform, apparently, and I think that 'for being filmed with Greta Thunberg' is implied.
 
Greta Thunberg pulls out of Edinburgh Book Festival over 'greenwashing'

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has pulled out of an appearance at the Edinburgh International Book Festival over its links to the fossil fuel industry.

She had been due to attend an event at the annual festival on 13 August.

But she said she would now not do so because the festival receives sponsorship from the Baillie Gifford investment firm.

She claimed Baillie Gifford "invests heavily in the fossil fuel industry".

This is one of the very good guys:
"In recent years, he [James Hansen] has become a climate activist to mitigate the effects of global warming, on a few occasions leading to his arrest." (Wikipedia)
When he gave up on persuading politicians to put an end to CO2 emission.
