She has the magical power of being able to see a colourless, odourless, trace gas and even makes the cover of Vogue alongside our Dear Leader. However, some French political leaders are not drinking the Kool-Aid.
As James Delingpole so eloquently stated in February: Her alarmist rhetoric was exactly the kind of half-baked, ill-informed, emotive, unscientific and utterly impractical tosh you’d expect to hear from a brainwashed 16-year old schoolgirl.
Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg was invited to the French parliament this week but not all were worshipping at her feet.
MPs Guillaume Larrivé and Julien Aubert of the conservative Republicans called for a boycott of the Swedish activist, labelling her a “prophetess in shorts”.
“To fight climate change intelligently, we do not need apocalyptic gurus, but scientific progress and political courage,” Mr Larrivé said.
“We are invited to a prediction of Saint Greta Thunberg, surrounded by people who see global warming as a religion,” Mr Aubert told Le Figaro and added that Thunberg had no qualifications and used only emotive arguments, saying there was no debate to be had.
Politicians from other parties were also dismissive.
Sébastien Chenu, a member of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, also slammed the invite saying: “She has no legitimacy other than media, I do not see why I would go prostrate before her.”
“She is a committed young woman, but she brings nothing to the debate, and is not enough to mask all the hypocrisy of the government. The members of the National Rally will not take part in this masquerade,” he added.
National Rally MEP Jordan Baredella, who led the party to election victory in the European Parliament elections in May, labelled Thunberg’s movement “a new form of totalitarianism”.
“This dictatorship of permanent emotion, moreover when it is based on children, is a new form of totalitarianism. It is beyond ridiculous,” he said.

Did you ever read a better description of Ardern’s leadership? “A dictatorship of permanent emotion, based on children.”
- Get some children to write a letter in felts or crayons and, boom, useful plastic bags are banned.
- Get some Rangatahi to protest and, boom, private property rights are put on hold.
- Get a rent-a-mob of youngsters in front of parliament and, boom, oil and gas killed off.
And while not based upon children the dictatorship of pure emotion was the driving reason for the ill-considered rush to control firearms.
