When the United Nations General Assembly convened in New York in September, climate-watchers may have noticed a pesky, pigtailed vacuum. Greta Thunberg, who spent the summer of 2019 stalking the East Coast after taking a prince of Monaco’s yacht across the Atlantic, reached her zenith that September — the last time this body met in person — at the Climate Action Summit where she delivered her creepy, memed-into-oblivion “how dare you” speech.
But the chilling little entity straight out of Kubrick was notably absent at this year’s assembly, at a time when the Biden administration is pushing climate hysteria more fervently than ever. In a room full of Jeffrey Epstein’s favorite people, perhaps she’s aged out of relevance — she turned nineteen this year — or maybe it’s her message that’s no longer in vogue. The same month her own nation, Sweden, elected what the papers call a “far-right” government (a catch-all label slapped on any group suspected of not taking money from George Soros). During the Swedish election, the left focused on green energy and global warming; conservatives zeroed in on immigration and crime. 2022 was set to become the worst year on record for gang violence in Sweden and reports of street crime flared up in Swedish headlines just ahead of the election.
The right also had the upper hand on energy, with Swedish voters drawn away from their leftist parties, especially the Greens, over Europe’s soaring energy prices. Two weeks later, Italy followed suit when it elected Giorgia Meloni prime minister. The Atlantic marked the election of Italy’s first female prime minister by declaring “the return of fascism in Italy.” CNN called Meloni “Italy’s most far-right prime minister since Mussolini.” Ahead of the September 25 election, desperate climate activists staged a sit-in at frontrunner Meloni’s Rome office. Their hissy-fit fell on deaf ears; democracy was inconveniently on the march across the continent as voters expressed their waning interest in climate gospel when faced with more pressing daily issues.
