Recently, during a protest in the Netherlands, Gretel Thunberg, the once beautiful "environmental girl", was twice arrested by the Dutch police.
When the "Eco Girl" joined other protesters in blocking a road to The Hague in order to oppose subsidies for fossil fuels, Thunberg was first detained by Dutch police and released after an exchange.
She then joined a small group of protesters trying to block another road to the train station, where she was arrested a second time, this time and quickly taken away in a police car.
I don't know how many times I have seen the news of the "environmental girl" being driven away, detained, and arrested, and for a while, people are in a trance, once standing on the stage of the United Nations, shouting loudly to the world: "How dare you!" (how dare you do this), once selected by Time magazine as the person of the year, once nominated for the Nobel Prize, how did the girl fall to this step.
How did she change from a "hero" to a "demon", and how did she fall from an "environmental girl" to a "problem boy"?
How did Gretel Thunberg become famous?
Greta Thunberg was born on January 3, 2003 in Stockholm, Sweden. According to the report, she has shown a keen interest in environmental issues since she was a child, and it is understandable that Thunberg was affected by this at a time when the West was reporting heavily on global warming and environmental issues.
It is said that when Thunberg was 8 years old, she was deeply moved by the impact of environmental problems on the planet. She decided to start reducing her carbon footprint and choosing green ways to travel as much as possible, and urged her family and friends to do the same to help protect the planet.
What many people don't know is that Thunberg has Asperger's syndrome, which is an autism spectrum disorder, which explains why she looks a little different and looks a little withdrawn, which can't be blamed because she really has a "disease".
But in Thunberg's view, this Asperger's syndrome is beneficial to her, because in this way, she can be more distracted, can focus more on the global environment, and will not feel the constraints and pressures attached to her by society, in Chinese words, because of this "disease", she can not care about the eyes of others.
In fact, judging from what she did later, it is also true, she rarely takes into account the eyes and feelings of others, and does whatever comes to her mind, and says whatever comes to mind.
But many times, she is selective about environmental issues, for example, when Japan discharged nuclear sewage into the sea, such a serious environmental pollution problem, she chose to ignore it, only after being appealed by many people, she came out and said a few words without saltiness, which is obviously extremely inconsistent with her own style of preaching.
Thunberg became famous in 2018, the year she went from being an ordinary student to quickly attracting the attention of the international community.
That year, when Thunberg was just 15 years old, she would hold a sign reading "Strike for Climate" outside a climate-related conference room in Sweden, an act that at first did not get much attention.
But her weekly protest behavior gradually attracted attention, especially a photo of shivering in the cold wind, so that many people began to sympathize with her and began to understand her behavior, and her practice gradually attracted more people's attention, and more children began to imitate this behavior.
It was also from this time that Thunberg won the title of Sweden's "Environmental Protection Girl" and began to be noticed by the world.
2019 is undoubtedly her brightest moment for Thunberg, on September 24 of this year, Thunberg was invited to participate in the United Nations climate summit, and it was also at this summit that she shouted the famous phrase: "How dare you!", and it was also in this year that she was selected as the Person of the Year by Time magazine, and it was also in this year that she was nominated for the Nobel Prize, almost becoming the youngest Nobel laureate in history.
From a hero to a demon, from a Western princess, to a troubled teenager
There is a saying in China that things must be reversed, and among the contemporaries of Thunberg, when Beire only came to prominence, she was already world-famous.
But she has never been clear about her position, that is, she has been designed from being famous to being on the United Nations, and she is just a "tool man" pushed out by the West
When she was 16 or 7 years old, all walks of life in the West rushed to reach out to her, from Biden to Macron, from charities to international stars, and at that moment, she was the "princess" of the entire West. She may think it's her ability, but she doesn't know that she's just a victim of being pushed to the forefront.
Maybe she found out about it later, but she has been bound by the honor of the past, and she can't get off the stage, so she can only move forward.
In fact, since 2021, due to the economic downturn in the West, for their own interests, the banner of environmental protection that was once held high by them is no longer so strong.
From this time on, in order to develop, the West began to pay less attention to environmental protection issues, and it was also from this time that the news in Tunberg in the West began to gradually decrease.
Until 2022, due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Nord Stream pipelines were bombed, resulting in an energy crisis in Europe, and it had to accept natural gas from the United States at 4 times the price, and Europe was overwhelmed by the heavy burden.
Thermal power generation, which was once vigorously criticized by the West, has gradually been put on the agenda by the West, and at this time, the West has no scruples about face, and the problems of carbon emissions, environmental protection, and global warming have all been put aside.
If we talk about environmental issues and environmental issues again at this time, won't that be a slap in the face of the West?
It was also from this time that the once environmental fighters and heroes became demons in the eyes of today's Westerners. The former princess of the West has become a troubled teenager who gathers crowds to make trouble at this time.
She was abandoned by the Western world
From the experience of the "environmental girl" Thunberg, starting from the logic of the Chinese, that is, her "cause" in the past has become her "effect" today.
As a Chinese, in the past few years, I believe that this "environmental girl" will not be too unfamiliar, she has repeatedly commented on China's environmental protection problems, and believes that Chinese use chopsticks is also causing damage to the environment.
From the moment she was pushed out by the West, she was actually burdened with "responsibilities" that did not belong to her, and it was already an open secret that the West used environmental problems and carbon emissions to suppress developing countries.
As early as 2010, Academician Ding Zhongli had already talked about this issue when he was interviewed by Chai Jing, and at that time, Academician Ding Zhongli issued a soul torture question: "Are we Chinese people?"
And a few years ago, Academician Ding Zhongli predicted this, he once said: Western countries' emission reduction is a cannon, do you think they will really reduce emissions?
It has been less than 10 years since these words were said, and sure enough, as Academician Ding predicted at the time, the West has not only failed to reduce emissions, but also increased carbon emissions, and the only one who is still making efforts for the earth's environment is China, which is still trying to reduce emissions, and is still vigorously planting vegetation in the desert and the Gobi.
It can also be seen from this that Thunberg is actually a "tool", and she is a tool to suppress developing countries and deprive them of their "right to development".
Thunberg's performative personality, which fits the requirements of the West, has made her internationally renowned in just one or two years, and she may also enjoy that feeling very much.
She would do something very confusing, spend a lot of money on a sailboat, and then hire someone to fly from Europe to the United States with a few boats, escort her all the way to the United States, and escort her ship is not a ship that emits carbon emissions.
When she arrived in the United States, she was greeted at the dock by a fleet of 17 ships, all of which she preached: zero carbon emissions.
It was something that could be done with a single ticket, but she didn't know how much "air tickets" she would have to add, and she wasted huge manpower and material resources, and she didn't know how much emissions had been added.
In addition, Thunberg's truancy in support of environmental protection has affected many children her age, creating a wave of truancy around the world.
It can be said that this is an extremely irresponsible behavior, and millions of teenagers have fled the classroom and abandoned their studies because of her behavior, and they have been calling out environmental issues that they do not understand well.
And the initiator of all this is the Western world, and Thunberg is actually the biggest victim of environmental problems in the Western world, pushing her to the fore when there is use value, and after no use value, she is mercilessly abandoned, treated as a demon, and treated as a problem teenager.
Judging from Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater, Thunberg is also selective about the earth's environmental problems, and judging from her later behavior, she may not really care about environmental issues, but what she cares about may be her "fame", because she has been bound by her former self and immersed in the past years and cannot extricate herself.
