“Policymakers are lining up for selfies with Greta – not vice versa”
“I freely admit that I was a little starstruck when I met her today in parliament”.”
“The british liberaldemokraten Layla Moran, and was not again in his op-ed in The Independent in the week with the title ”Greta Thunberg has changed the course of history”. “
“Along with the speaker, John Bercow, the green party leader Caroline Lucas and former Labour leader, Ed Miliband, took Moran a photo with the Swedish environmental activist, where all smiles great except Greta herself, who sees the customary laconian out.”
“When Thunberg met with party leaders in parliament, stood Theresa Mays empty chair, and the british media were not late to ask why.”
“We are witnessing, therefore, a stage where members of parliament will be ”wowed” by a Swedish 16-year-old and where prime ministers are criticized for not meeting with her. “
“Greta Thunberg, thanked for the attention that in a speech pointing out the british politikerklassen as klimathycklare and the country’s koldioxidskuld that giant.”
“It was an ordinary day in the Greta Thunberg life, one in which Barack Obama joined the ranks of the to [citation needed at Twitter. Greta is itself a child of its time and a pro at social media, but instagram-generation common side effects have obviously passed her by. Here, there is no narcissism, no behagsjuka, no ambitions to take pictures with the powers that be.”
“In February, she met Emmanuel Macron in Paris behind closed doors, something that did not prevent the pictures from the meeting at the Elysee palace to seep out. On Gretas social media synthesis no. ”I’m not here to take selfies” she wont say.”
“There is clearly not to flatter Greta Thunberg, her unwavering integrity is her super power. The world’s most powerful politicians is right now more keen to get stuck at the picture with a Swedish klimataktivist than vice versa. “
“We are so excited to have you here,” says the government.”
“– Why do you continue then to destroy my future, ask Greta.”
“the Story of Greta Thunberg is a kind of cinderella tale for the 21st century. The girl with the braids who was diagnosed with ”selective mutism” – self-imposed vow of silence – and which now makes an entire generation of voice heard.”
“– It was like following a rock star, told a French colleague who worked in the EUROPEAN parliament when Greta Thunberg was recently in Brussels.”
“As a global political symbol, Sweden has never had someone with the same impact. The international prices are raining on Greta Thunberg. And yet there is something easily held back in the Swedish media reporting compared with the international.”
“It is surprising. There is no shortage of articles that praised – and often exaggerated – the Zlatan Ibrahimovics, the brothers He, Sven-Göran Eriksson’s and Robyns success in the rest of the world. And yet: None of them have had as great an impact as Greta have right now.”
“None of them will have had nearly equal impact on society when we summarise the first few years in the 2000s (from a Swedish perspective competing possibly Zlatan yet in the strength of its klackmål against Italy in euro 2004).”
“To the fight against climate change is becoming personfixerad is a common argument, and here of course, you can stick with. But all historical eras have had their heroes. They have been called Rosa Parks, Angela Davis and Nelson Mandela. Their unwillingness to accept the state of things has resulted in samhällsomvälvningar. Greta Thunberg journey has only just begun.”
“▪ the Problem with the climate crisis is rather the name we are lacking in the collective consciousness. What is the name of Exxon’s and BP’s ceos? What do we know about the other oil companies in the world that spends two billion dollars per year on lobbying with the objective to delay, check, and block environmental policies?”
