Why was anyone listening to Greta Thunberg in the first place?

It’s all over for us. The climate change crisis is no longer reversible, and all of humanity is doomed.
At least, that is all according to Greta Thunberg and a “top climate scientist” who said that “climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.” That was tweeted on this day five years ago, meaning today is the final day we have to stop using fossil fuels entirely. But all of this raises a question: Why was some random child propped up as the arbiter of climate change policy in the first place?
SWEETHEART HUNTER PLEA IS A GIFT TO BIDEN AND TRUMP
Thunberg deleted her doomsaying tweet, presumably so she can reset the doomsday clock and continue her climate grift. That activist grift started when she was 15 with her skipping school and protesting in front of Sweden’s Parliament. From there, her activist cause was picked up by every establishment media outlet around, including ABC News, CBS, CNN, NBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, among others.
It didn’t just stop there. Thunberg was invited to the United Nations to lecture world leaders about how she knew so much more about the climate than they did and how “you are failing us” young people and “we will never forgive you.” Her climate tantrums earned her Time’s 2019 Person of the Year.
But why? Thunberg didn’t, and still doesn’t, know anything about how oil, natural gas, and coal have sustained humanity and are both more efficient and more reliable than renewable energy sources. She also hates nuclear energy, which produces no carbon emissions and is far more efficient and reliable than wind and solar. We have already seen California follow anti-nuclear “green” policies, which led to the state firing up natural gas generators to try and keep the lights on.

Thunberg is nothing more than a whiny child turned whiny adult, and yet she was propped up as the face of liberal climate change policy. Liberal media outlets and liberal elites around the world anointed her as the world’s savior at the age of 16, and those same institutions demand that you take their warnings about climate change seriously.
Both they and Thunberg will not simply move the goal posts again. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) set the new doomsday date in 2031, so perhaps they will all coalesce around that prediction. But this should be the end of the line for their credibility. No one who promoted a random child as a climate change expert should be taken seriously on climate change or energy policy again, no matter how frantic and hysterical their doomsday predictions become.
