Cameras Were Rolling From Day One Of Greta Thunberg’s ‘Viral’ Rise

Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg is to be the subject of an upcoming documentary.

The film has been made by a professional crew that just happened to have been following the Swedish sixteen year old since the early days of her school strike.

Thunberg, who started skipping school in 2018 to protest outside the Swedish parliament, has long been promoted as a special needs teen whose mission went ‘viral’ organically.

So, do you still believe that her rise to fame was just an accident?

RT reports: Thunberg, recently crowned Time magazine’s Person of the Year, can add documentary film subject to her burgeoning resumé.

The film, tentatively titled ‘Greta,’ was announced by Deadline on Monday for a 2020 Hulu premiere. Director Nathan Grossman has followed the young climate prodigy to the ends of the Earth, from her school-striking on the sidewalk in front of the Swedish Parliament, to the high seas aboard the $4mn racing yacht Malizia II.

Grossman’s only other IMDB credit to date is a Swedish film titled “Köttets lustar” (or “Lusts of the Meat”), which, while it sounds pornographic, purports to be the story of one man “looking over his life as a carnivore.”

One might ask why, if Thunberg’s meteoric rise from her lonely sidewalk protests to hectoring the rulers of the world about her stolen future was as organic as it is presented, a documentary crew was already present to film her sitting alone on the pavement?’  It’s not like her parents have been trying to make her a celebrity since she was just 12 years old, only to have their exploitative TV show idea rejected by Swedish broadcaster SVT. Never mind, all thatdid happen.

Thunberg’s parents, opera singer Malena Ernman and actor Svante Thunberg, are both famous in their own right, and it’s not difficult to see how their connections might have expedited the process through which Thunberg became the ubiquitous symbol of climate change. Her rise has been meticulously choreographed, her school strike made famous on its first day by Ingmar Rentzhog of the climate change social network ‘We Don’t Have Time.’ Rentzhog, already friends with Thunberg’s parents, has already been accused of using the girl’s image to raise millions of dollars for his company – making her a household name in the process.

A year later, her larger-than-life image graces four stories of a wall in San Francisco, cafeterias in Tel Aviv (where her disapproving gaze is supposed to shame eaters away from plastic utensils), and London’s Trafalgar Square, where an ice sculpture carved in her likeness was raised in October as a teaser for what a trio of “creatives” hope will be a permanent statue of the climate crusader. A colossus bestriding the English Channel can’t be far behind.

There are already signs all is not well in Thunberg’s world, however. Even as hundreds of thousands of people took part in a school strike in Madrid to mark her appearance at the recent climate conference and the EU finally declared a climate emergency last month, solutions lag far behind the declared scale of the problem.

Thunberg herself lamented that a year of school striking has essentially accomplished nothing, emissions-wise – that the planet is no further from certain doom than it was before she began her remarkably successful campaign to shame world leaders into caring. Indeed, as more countries are pushed to declare “climate emergencies” and “do [a never specified] something” to get emissions down to zero yesterday, with no concrete solutions presented, the less likely they are to be able to produce the desired cuts.

Instead, they fall back on magical thinking – carbon offsets, cap and trade, carbon taxes, and other schemes and scams that essentially amount to bribing the climate into staying put – or, more specifically, bribing climate authorities into looking the other way while the polluting continues. Panicking never yields wise decisions, yet global authorities are taking to heart Greta Thunberg’s advice to act as if the house was on fire. If they aren’t careful, it will be.

  2. A nasty 15 year old, who will only get nastier as she ages. I only wish I was going to be alive when Greta becomes an old, Nancy Pelosi. I’m going to miss seeing her slurring her words, garbling her speech, and rolling her tongue, trying to keep her teeth from falling out.

  3. Her entire campaign was orchestrated by the Columbia School of Journalism with active and coordinated participation by an estimated 350+ news organizations. There was an in-depth article published about this in Nov.

  5. When anyone comes from nowhere and becomes a sensation overnight, you know it’s contrived and someone is pulling the strings for a specific result they want to take place. Thunberg is neither intelligent or pleasant to listen to and really has nothing to say.

  15. Her whole existence is a pathetic joke that only the extremely stupid and gullible take notice off. There are so many oxygen thieves supporting her. Rape her and them kill em all. Its the way they operate and what they deserve.

  19. How flimsy is your argument when you must use disabled children to sell it in an attempt to keep you from rebuttal?

    The left thinks this sets us up for failure because it will make us “mean” to tell a petulant brainwashed child that they are wrong. This is a problem at the base of the left, they see the truth as mean, but in reality truth is love. It may be tough love, but it is love.

    • How low can they go? Now we know. Next they’ll push out some horribly disabled child out in a wheelchair at an NFL pre-game and report that ‘global warming’ caused the child’s difficulties. And of course, donations are welcomed.

      • I believe it.
        The NFL, NBA, Hollywood, major news media, and many more organizations are part of the Democrat Pravda. Owned and propagandised to the point that they have ruined our culture.

  21. Even conservative media has been moved. They “admit” there is an accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere, even though there is NOT an accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is still only .04% of the make up of the atmosphere. So the ratcheting of the false information is spreading in a very sneaky way. Also the measurement of the Oxygen levels should be made. when CO2 goes up, then Oxygen levels will decline. that is not happening. So there are two ways to check. Conclusion is that the Plants are easily keeping up with the cleaning out of the CO2 daily.

    • The whole carbon thing is a joke. Carbon is the most plentiful element in the universe and suddenly we have too much of it? But not to worry…millionaires buying carbon offsets will fix everything!

  25. Her parents had this all arranged from the get-go. SHe’s totally phony from the cars that ferry her around to her international flights on private jets.
