  • Naomi Seibt, a 19-year-old German YouTube 'influencer' claims to promote 'climate realism' over 'climate alarmism' on YouTube
  • She will be speaking at CPAC in Washington D.C. and join a libertarian think tank and lobbying group that promotes climate change skepticism
  • Seibt joined the Heartland Institute's Center on Climate and Environmental Policy in February in order to spread her message
  • The Heartland Institute is one of the most notorious climate change denial groups in the United States
  • She has been described as a climate-skeptic answer to Greta Thunberg, 17, the environmental activist from Sweden who inspired international climate protests
  • Thunberg was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year and has become the face for youth climate action

A teenager who has been dubbed the 'anti-Greta' is to speak at a Republican
convention is Washington D.C. later this week.


German citizen and climate change skeptic, Naomi Seibt, 19, will appear at the
Conservative Political Action Conference known as CPAC in the biggest
annual Republican convention of its type running from Wednesday until
Saturday of this week.

The event will feature Republican lawmakers, officials from the White House
and Trump's re-election campaign, members of the conservative media and
even a speech from the President himself.



Seibt has been dubbed as the 'anti-Greta' because of her views on climate change

are the polar opposite to those of Swedish environmental campaigner 17-year-old Greta Thunberg.

Seibt's influence is likely to be significantly smaller given that she only has 5,000 Twitter followers
compared to Thunberg's 4 million, however being given the seal of approval by CPAC will surely
help to bolster her prospects.

A YouTube video created by the Heartland Institute, a think tank which firmly rejects climate
change, pitches Seibt against Thunberg.

'I have good news for you. The world is not ending because of climate change,' Seibt says in
the video for the lobbying group.

Seibt doesn't totally rule out mankind's influence in the planet's climate but
believes that it has been overstated.

'Are man-made CO2 emissions having that much impact on the climate? I think
that's ridiculous to believe,' she said in the Washington Post.

The Heartland Institute said that Seibt was a 'fantastic voice for free markets
and for climate realism.'

'It is important that we keep questioning the narrative that's out there
instead of promoting it,' Seibt said. 'These days, climate change science
really isn't a science at all.'

yes as part of evolution that has been going on all earths history. more than 99
% of all species, amounting to over five billion species, that ever lived on Earth
are estimated to have died out.

i think like its 100-200 plant animal insects become extinct every day


The rate is the issue

Cherie 25-02-2020 09:29 AM

She sounds so much like Greta, it's eerie

user104658 25-02-2020 10:03 AM

"Do not leave this event with a profound rage against Greta or the protesters or the media. It's about time that we put an end to this depressing Anti Attitude. Rage and panic belong to our opponents."

Wow with this level of double-think she'd fit right in on here :joker:.

user104658 25-02-2020 10:05 AM

Oh FFS she has her PayPal and BANK DETAILS in the video description "if you want to support her". Subtle :facepalm:

Heres the thing, there is empirical evidence of ice caps melting and an increase in temperature. What people seem to be missing is that even if it is a natural phenomena we are still ****ed unless we take action to alleviate it, and the only way we can do that is by reducing the emissions that we all know that we create.

Mollycoddling just got it's new poster child

Kizzy 25-02-2020 12:35 PM

'Perhaps global warming isn't that detrimental'. ... where is the science to back that up?

Climate change science isn't really science? What is it then?
This girl has been groomed to be the poster child for the free markets that's obvious

Maybe we can throw a shade over the Sun?

This girl and Greta are two ends of the same scale.

Tom4784 25-02-2020 12:49 PM

It's hysterical how she's utterly rinsing gullible right wingers who fear reality and only want to be told what they want to hear.

Her paypal is right there, hilarious.

Tom4784 25-02-2020 12:50 PM

Also people who deny climate change are as crazy as anti-vaxxers or flat earthers.

I mean it's pretty tempting... I'm not saying I *would* use my daughters as right wing YouTube shills but... you know... they're not really contributing much to the pot at the moment...

That's a great idea TS. How soon can I start Asher do you think...? Maybe wait for his first birthday...

Oliver_W 25-02-2020 02:45 PM

There's room for a middle-ground. I'm a tree hugger but Greta's comical doomsday screeching isn't the way to go. Outright denialism is also ridiculous.

I agree with LT in that they're the two ends of the same scale. Imagine them debating :joker:

As soon as he says his first word, you can pretend his first word was something hashtaggable and it'll go viral. Baby wisdom...

Chimney sweeping out of fashion?

Just as well. Those boys used to get scrotal cancers.

You tube is far safer especially if they go far right. Liberals are not as violent.

Be good if they could fight

I told Liv to shave her tash.

Now look, getting mistaken for Trumpet.

Crimson Dynamo 25-02-2020 05:49 PM

sadly both girls exploited for political tribalism

Having the platform to tell idiots everything they want to hear isn’t a new idea, but it still works.
