☆ Climate activist Greta Thunberg pulls out of Edinburgh Book Festival appearance after accusing key sponsor of greenwashing

CNN —Climate activist Greta Thunberg has canceled an appearance at the Edinburgh International Book Festival after accusing one of the festival’s main sponsors of greenwashing. As a climate activist I cannot attend an event which receives sponsorship from Baillie Gifford, who invests heavily in the fossil fuel industry,” Thunberg said. “Greenwashing efforts by the fossil fuel industry, including sponsorship of cultural events, allow them to keep the social license to continue operating. Barley went on to highlight the crucial role played by organizations such as Baillie Gifford in keeping an event such as the Edinburgh International Book Festival alive. As a charitable organisation, we would not be in a position to provide that platform without the long-term support of organisations such as Baillie Gifford,” Barley said.

☆ Fact Check-Clip of Greta Thunberg calling to ‘save the banks’ omits context

A video from a 2019 Greta Thunberg interview shows the Swedish climate activist saying that bank bailouts are evidence that the world has enough money to address climate change. A clip shared out of context from this interview showing Thunberg saying, “if we can save the banks, then we can save the world,” has circulated online with the suggestion that her priorities had shifted from the planet to saving banks. “The only way to save the planet is to save the banks,” reads a Facebook post (here). “The money is there, if we can save the banks, then we can save the world… I mean, if there is something we are not lacking in this world, it’s money,” Thunberg said. A cropped clip showing Greta Thunberg saying, “if we can save the banks, then we can save the world,” was not a statement in defense of banks.

While the statement does not identify Thunberg by name, a spokesperson for the Swedish Prosecution Authority, Annika Collin, confirmed to CNN that the woman referred to is Thunberg. The charges relate to Thunberg’s participation in a protest organized by the activist group Ta Tillbaka Framtiden, which blocked oil tankers in part of Malmö harbor. “Today, for the third day in a row, young activists from @tatillbakaframtiden have blocked oil tankers in the Malmö oil harbour. Irma Kjellström, spokesperson for Ta Tillbaka Framtiden, said Thunberg was one of many young people blocking oil tankers. In January, Thunberg was detained by police during a protest in the village of Lützerath, Germany, over the expansion of a coal mine.

Around 6,000 protesters — including climate activist Greta Thunberg — marched through mud and rain to the German village of Luetzerath on Saturday, according to a police estimate, demonstrating against the expansion of an opencast lignite mine.

Sean Gallup / Getty ImagesAs the protesters neared the village, they were confronted by police in riot gear, and some used batons to push the protesters back. Earlier this week, police cleared out protesters from buildings they have occupied for almost two years in attempt to stop the nearby mine’s expansion. Earlier Economy Minister Robert Habeck told Spiegel on Friday that Lutzerath was the “wrong symbol” to protest against.
