It's Been 5 Years Since Greta Thunberg Warned Climate Change Would 'Wipe Out All of Humanity Unless We Stop Using Fossil Fuels Over the Next 5 Years' Five years ago today, child activist Greta Thunberg promoted a so-called scientist's warning that "climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years."
Why it matters: We haven't stopped using fossil fuels in 2023. Humanity has not been (and will not be) wiped out as a result. That's a good thing!
Context: Harvard University professor James Anderson, the "top scientist" whose claims Thunberg promoted in 2018, insists his words were distorted by journalists at Grit Post, the site that published the (since deleted) article Thunberg linked to in her tweet.
• Anderson said he would "never" claim that humanity would be wiped out by 2023. He did, however, express support in 2018 for a "Marshall Plan-style endeavor in which all of the world takes extreme measures to transition off of fossil fuels completely within the next five years," according to Forbes. (Which is basically just as crazy a thing to say.) ...............
