Question ANTI-GRETA German teenage climate change denier



  • 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.'
