Do the climate change sermons of Greta Thunberg fill you with anxiety and dread? If so, then that\u2019s the point. Thunberg and the modern eco-cultists all sing from the same hymn sheet, and fear is their most effective tactic.<\/p>\n

In a speech at the UN Climate Action Summit on Monday, the 16-year-old Thunberg delivered a breathless sermon, chastising the adults in the room for stealing her\u00a0\u201cdreams<\/em>\u201d and her\u00a0\u201cchildhood\u201d<\/em>\u00a0by failing to take aggressive enough action against climate change.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she thundered, voice on the edge of tears.<\/p>\n
