She is being manipulated by the unscrupulous Rich it’s blatantly obvious. I say let’s leave the other countries get to where we are with emissions, before we do more.

26s in and the author links the Chilean protests to green energy taxation?  ???

The protests in Santiago started as a result of fare hikes on the subway, to pay for network expansion into wealthy areas of the city. They are continuing despite the fare hike reversal as protestors oppose what they (rightly) see as growing income inequality in the country.

Car usage in the country has boomed in the last decade, but cars and the fuel to run them are well out of reach of the people who were/are protesting. Given that the video couldn't manage 30s before applying spin worthy of the Daily Fail, I didn't bother with the rest.

I rather like Greta, she upsets exactly the sort of people who should be upset more often.   ;D
