I found this old post from a few months ago. I guess we can assume that her father, who is behind her social media accounts or the Indian guy wrote this?
Everyone needs to read Greta Thunberg's responses to the rumors and lies about her
I could never pin down climate stuff especially climate change to the right or left. It has nothing to do with traditional values or "progresivism" of sorts. Even on the change/reactionary scale some of the stuff that climate change people suggest is pretty reactionary. (I guess Qatz is an example who wants to go back to pre-industrialisation and living in caves). It is just one of those issues that doesn't fall anywhere on the scale of left, right, libertarianism, authoriaterianism etc.
In a sense, depending how accurate the predictions are and how wide spread global warming will have an effect, a lot of people will suffer irrelevant of ideology. Basically if your left you might die because of this or if you are right, you might die because of this.
May be the climate laws are a bit statist but that is not the only alternative. It is not like the private business is not doing anything on its end to make money on this and the government uses classical liberal measures to support them.
I think the alt-right/right needs to find its own gig within the global warming discussion. ( Denying it is kinda not a gig, its stupid by now )
