Greta Thunberg

More than three decades before Greta Thunberg was born — the Swedish environmental activist on climate change, diagnosed with Asperger’s — more than 20 million Americans participated in the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970.

The IPCC fallacy is well established and widespread, including among many scientists. It is the basis for the Paris Accord. It is moderate in its way. The Thunberg fallacy is new and nuts.

Democratic Presidential candidates are in a bidding war over how many trillions they would spend to “fight climate change.” Would it be enough, soon enough, to save the planet?

Two events filled the television-news airwaves and social media as September 2019 was coming to an end.

Since she first stood alone in front of the Swedish parliament last August protesting insufficient action in fighting climate change, 16-year-old Greta Thunberg has literally become the poster child for a worldwide student movement.
