We are introduced to the phenomenon of Greta Thunberg, the face of the youth climate change movement. Her "climate change is real" message is reframed for public consumption and deployed internationally, using her platform to "sound the alarm" on climate change. This emergency is likened to a "house on fire," urging the public to be serious, patriotic, empathetic, and nonviolent. Notably, the strategy ignores the devastating impact of militarism on climate change. The New Climate Economy, promoted by groups like Extinction Rebellion, repackages oppression into emergency mode. This urgency compels governments, NGOs, and corporations to direct immediate funding towards unlocking trillions needed to save capitalism, furthering a new green imperialism. Today's youth are shaped into market solutions that insulate a global elite. Celebrity-sponsored activism aims to create a new industry where NGOs, media, and corporate powers collude to garner support for the very industries we should dismantle. Behind these "youth-led" movements for climate change lie the planet's most powerful capitalists, who manufacture consent for the "fourth industrial revolution," attempting to quell resistance to industrial civilization.
