No, this was not co-optation. This was and is PR.

A super short timeline.

May 2018: a teleconference led by a 350/Fossil Free rep. & Climate Reality Project (Al Gore NGO) proposes a large climate march. Greta Thunberg partakes in this call as well as others that transpire.
The idea of a strike came about. Thunberg was receptive.

May 2018: Rentzhog is in contact with Greta's mother (Malena Ernman) at a conference.

June 2018: The Thunberg social media accounts are created.
August 20 2018: Greta sits on a sidewalk. Ingmar Rentzhog, CEO of We Don't Have Time discovers "the lonely girl".

We Don't Have Time is a partner of The Climate Reality Project.
Rentzhog would later admit he was informed the week before about the strike via a mailing list from the 350/Fossil Free rep.

August 20 2018, 1st day of strike: "lonely girl" plight is shared by We Mean Business co-founder Callum Grieve (with hashtag #WeDontHaveTime).
Grieve (1st photo far right) is the co-founder and director of Counter Culture, a brand development firm specializing in behavioural change campaigns and storytelling. He also created Climate Week NYC for The Climate Group.

September 1, 2018: Greta featured is featured in The Guardian. The photo it uses is from this set. Taken by Michael Campanella, August 28, 2018, Marten Thorslund, CMO & CSO of We Don't Have Time is in the background.
Jan. 2019: Greta travels to the WEF in Davos where she & her father share accommodations with Christiana Figueres & her team.

Getting to know Christiana Figueres:

theartofannihilation.com/the-manufactur…
The World Economic Forum (WEF) (Davos billionaires club) is intent on unleashing a 4th industrial revolution - to save capitalism itself. It is now in partnership with the UN – overseeing the so-called SDGs.

An Object Lesson In Spectacle:

theartofannihilation.com/an-object-less…
The WEF & We Mean Business are at helm of this weeks UN Climate Action Summit & Climate Week NYC (created by We Mean Business co-founder Callum Grieve for The Climate Group).

theartofannihilation.com/the-manufactur…
The UN-WEF prioritized 6 portfolios & 3 key areas. The 2nd key area was identified is “Youth Engagement and Public Mobilization." The B Team, WEF, WRI, GCCA NGO (#NewDealForNature). The youth are the sacrificial lambs - to save the very system destroying the natural world.
It's not strangers we should have warned our children against. We should have warned them of - and protected them from - the corporate psychopaths that have encircled them.

The social engineering project to “change everything” is today perhaps the most successful behavioural sciences experiment in modern history.

They are succeeding in their goal: the rebooting of the global economic capitalist system - that is killing everything in its path.
Maybe if we can finally see through the spectacle, we can start to talk about how we are going to stop the fourth industrial revolution that will plunder what little remains.

This is a picture of a robot that will mine the ocean floors - killing life.

Think about it.

Apologies for not finishing thread last night-listened until I fell asleep. When those that oppress us, that allow our air, water, soil, food, bodies, to be poisoned & commodified, claim that global #health is now their top priority - be wary. Be ready.

Al Gore (#WEF trustee) et al. are SO CONCERNED about the climate, that they in the process of turning all of #nature into a new asset class – where they will OWN nature, manage/control nature, & profit from nature (via "Natural Asset Companies").

#COP27 #EmergingMarkets #30x30 Image
Of course, this has nothing to do w/ Gore's Generation Investment (#hedgefund co-founded w/ David Blood from Goldman Sachs), #BlackRock, saving capitalism, or the expansion of #privatization. Rather, it's to save the planet.

The $4,000 trillion #climate wealth opportunity.

David Blood to Mark Carney (TCFD/TNFD, #UN Special Envoy for #Climate), 2021:

"We know that #NaturalClimateSolutions are a critical part of the transition to #NetZero & we've known this for quite some time. Why is it so difficult for us in finance [] to put a value on nature?" Image

The realization that such an image is now collectively processed/understood as an impressive example of "#sustainability", amongst many who consider themselves ecologically aware, or even "left", is both terrifying & revealing at once.

#Conditioning

The erasure of nature. Image
Image from this article. Nov 8, 2022:

"Per capita figures show that Indian people actually contribute relatively very little to the problem. While the average American emits 14.7 tons of CO2 a year, an Indian person emits around 1.8."

What's worse, such "solutions" are not displacing fossil fuels. A digitized economy drives expansion of hyperscale #datacenters. "Hyperscalers" such as #Amazon gloss over their massive energy consumption by securing renewable-power purchase agreements.⬇️
