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.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...peak-CPAC.html |
