I have been asking subscribers for examples of an error by Greta Thunberg for over five years. Now I think I've found one. But it was buried under a pile of fabrications and even worse errors by her critics. A definite own goal.
ERRORS SUGGESTED BY POSTERS:
Following my request for more Thunberg errors, here are a couple of posts I received:
1) @lemdixon01wrote: "'We only have 5 years left' tweet in 2016 deleted" -- I could find no record of this tweet, so I asked the poster where he got this from. He wrote back: "I don't care about exactly what the tweet said." This kind of emphasises the point I made in the video, that a lot of Thunberg 'quotes' are just people making stuff up.
2) @ShuffleboardJerk writes that he "100% support[s] Greta" but he did find an error: “About 100 companies emits [sic] approximately 71% of our total emissions of CO2.” - Greta Thunberg, 2019
I checked, and this is indeed a quote, and Thunberg was incorrect in saying it. The figure comes from a study that identified 100 companies that produce fossil fuels, mostly oil companies and coal mining companies. But they are not burning their own product, simply supplying it, and therefore are not 'emitting' CO2, as Thunberg claims. Not only that, one of the 'companies' was listed as China, the other Russia. These are not companies, they are countries. So the figure is wrong and misleading.
It is interesting that none of Thunberg's critics could find an error, they simply made up quotes or passed on a myth they read. It took an admirer of Thunberg to have the intelligence to find something, check its veracity, quote it correctly, and then have the honesty and objectiveness to post it publicly. That says a lot.
