"Greta Thunberg is the face of a coming radical youth movement aimed at stopping global climate disaster. The attacks on her, and the attempts to undermine her, should be seen in that light. And hardly had she finished lambasting the UN delegates, than those attacks began.... "More dangerous was the meeting she had with Barack Obama just a few days before her UN address. In that meeting, he said to her “You and me, we’re a team”, to which she can be heard to reply “yeah”. "In this regard, Trump is especially useful for Obama and his ilk. Take the case of the Paris climate accord, signed in December of 2015 – by Obama among others. Much has been made of Trump’s withdrawal from that accord. All it means is that he will stop the pretense that that accord represents! Oaklandsocialist analyzed that accord here. We explained that it was lauded by the Chinese government, which got 60% of its energy from burning coal, and by the Brazilian government which was allowing deforestation of the Amazon even back then. We explained that there was not a single reference to “military” in the accord. (A recent article in the Intercept reports that “The U.S. Department of Defense has a larger annual carbon footprint than most countries on earth. With a sprawling network of bases and logistics networks, the U.S. military is the single biggest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world aside from whole nation-states themselves.”) https://oaklandsocialist.com/2019/09/27/which-way-for-greta-thunberg-which-way-for-the-coming-movement/ -- *“In politics, abstract terms conceal treachery.” *from "The Black Jacobins" by C.
