Greta’s not the one who is brainwashed
Wildlife experts estimate at least 8,000 koalas have perished, almost a third of the entire population in New South Wales. Ecologists say the animals may disappear from some regions and have to be reclassified as an endangered species 🐨 pic.twitter.com/vKF7hudtCL— Sofía Villalpando (@sofiabiologista) January 5, 2020
If you read this blog you know that I am a major animal lover. The stories coming out of Australia are breaking my heart. I have to steer clear of the footage and only read about it because I just can’take it:
It makes me feel crazy (and frankly homicidal) when I hear idiots like this:
Rock musician Meat Loaf thinks Greta Thunberg has been brainwashed into thinking climate change is real.
The singer, 72, said he “feels” for the 17-year-old, whom he thinks has “been forced” into her beliefs.
“I feel for that Greta,” he told Mail Online. “She has been brainwashed into thinking that there is climate change and there isn’t.”
He continued: “She hasn’t done anything wrong, but she’s been forced into thinking that what she is saying is true.”
Meat Loaf’s comments come after global leaders and activists warned the bushfires currently ravaging Australia are an environmental emergency that must be tackled urgently.
Somebody’s been brainwashed but it isn’t Greta Thunberg.
I guess I can at least understand why politicians beholden to the fossil fuel industry pretend like climate change is a hoax. Their salaries depend on it. But why ordinary people are so eager to believe it stuns me. Do they not love their children?
