DISINFO: Using Greta Thunberg is a PR stunt and political paedophilia
SUMMARY
Greta Thunberg performs in Davos. At the same time, the girl does not go to school, but she knows the words “fossils” and “investments”. First the UN, then Davos. This is already becoming a PR stunt, it has nothing to do with realities. This is some kind of paedophilia, political paedophilia, when they look at Thunberg and say – yes, yes, say more.
RESPONSE
This claim is a conspiracy presented without any evidence. It is recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about climate change and international youth climate protests started by the Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.
In August 2018, the Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg staged a "School Strike for Climate" in front of the Swedish parliament. Later, her strikes inspired youth from all over the world to join a global #FridaysForFuture campaign. The first international school strike was held on Friday, 15 March 2019. Ever since Greta Thunberg has been the target of derogatory commentary from pro-Kremlin media. Read our analysis here.
Climate change is a scientific fact. Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and Earth's temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down rain-forests and farming livestock. This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming. Preventing dangerous consequences of climate change is a key priority for the EU.
