Thunberg has become the poster child for climate change activists. REUTERS If Taiwo's revisionist and selective approach to history leaves a lot to be desired, his proposed solutions are even worse.
Talk of an "energy democracy" sounds more like communism to the informed reader.
He quotes the Black Panthers and calls for a "Black radical agitation" approach to reparations, "giving cold, hard cash" to people "deprived by the aqueducts of history," which leads to the obvious question: Who pays whom?!
Greta Thunberg has become a cult icon in the climate conversation. But as I found out in person when I spent 20 minutes talking to her in Davos, she has very little to contribute.One can only assume "expert" friends tend to provide talking points, if not a script, for her speaking engagements.
Greta's book is a testament to this: She has very little to say because she has no expertise in the area. This collection of propaganda pieces from activists is the best she has to offer.
It's troubling because so many young people around the world
look to Greta for direction, but it seems she's just as lost as the rest.Instead of fearmongering about an imaginary man-made crisis and advocating for the skipping of school, Greta would do well to remind young people of the importance of education.
If there is a climate crisis in the future, we'll need intellectuals, scientists and experts to provide solutions, not extremist activist teenagers.
