For those wondering how Greta Thunberg managed to get so off the rails look no further than her climate advisors. They are among the most alarmist worldwide.
According to the online, German-language Merkur.de here, citing Swedish daily Expressen, 16-year old climate activist is advised by Professor Stefan Rahmstorf, among others, of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Germany.
Wild science claims
Professor Rahmstorf and the Potsdam Institute are well known among the climate science community for their highly alarmist projections and off-the-mark science. For example, the PIK’s former director, Prof. Hans-Joachim Schellnhuber, once preposterously claimed the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2030 and the world would explode with 9 billion people on it.
Alarmism as a business model
According to the Merkur, the PIK has “created a business model with climate change”, adding: “It advises state institutions and municipalities on how they can protect themselves against the severe climate changes predicted by PIK.”
The Merkur reports how Greta and Professor Rahmstorf “have met on several occasions” and how the 16-year old “calls the professor for advice.” Rahmstorf praises the teenager, saying “she knows a lot about climate science” and argues that politicians too should adopt Greta’s doomsday visions.

“Holy anger” and “religious exaggeration”
But now some are speaking up against the excessive alarmism.
Not only are some media questioning Rahmstorf’s alarmist climate science, though it makes for good headlines, but so are other experts, such as renowned geologist Stefan Kröpelin, or Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt, or veteran meteorologist Jörg Kachelmann.
Swiss meteorologist Kachelmann calls Rahmstorf a “climate-Ratzinger”, alluding to former Pope Benedict XVI, earlier known as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. Kachelmann, a warmist, has become turned off by the fiery Potsdam professor’s “religious exaggeration” and “holy anger” in the climate debate.
“Climate howler”
The two heavyweights recently even argued on Twitter about whether a piece of broken glass could trigger a forest fire, as Rahmstorf claims, or not. The sharp-witted, media-savvy Kachelmann recently characterized claims made by Rahmstorf as “potsdaft” – an allusion to his place of work – and labelled him a Klimaheuler, a ‘climate howler’.
Surrounded by alarmists, rational voices not welcome
Greta Thunberg’s other advisors include Swedish Professor Johan Rockström (53) and British Professor Kevin Anderson (57), both devout alarmists. Non-alarmist climate experts and rational voices are not welcome by Thunberg and her advisors. Why ruin a good business model?

Thank you for your vital work Pierre. Truth always triumphs over money … eventually.
There may finally be an answer to Greta. Some 14 year olds caught NASA concealing data, and are actually addressing the real science and data.

Climate-Ratzinger & Scoldylocks!
The reference to Benedict XVI, Cardinal Ratzinger, is grotesque. Indeed, had Professor Rahmstorf read Ratzinger with care, whether his books or, perhaps more pertinently, the Cardinal’s address delivered at the University of Regensburg in 2006, he might find a means to be constructive rather than manipulative. ‘Faith, Reason and the University’ has lost none of its importance over the past decade or more and, in the week of the canonisation of John Henry Newman, may even have increased. The infirmity of truth in our age points to a largely unexpected urgency for rereading Newman’s own “Idea of a University”.
Otherwise very keen, Kachelmann, who got into a lot of trouble himself, cites Pope Benedict?
Razinger , as far as I know, is the first Pope to resign. He wrote recently the Church has taken on too much water. That must mean Pope Francis, who could actually sink it in deep water with Laudato Si and his Synod now.
I cannot see the connection.
My advice to these “climate advisors”: Advise teenagers only.
wondered who or what group were indoctrinating this child. Thank you for providing us with that information. And, yes, they should be shamed by all for doing so!
Here is Greta advisor Kevin Anderson from 2017. This is worth watching because it adds further to the evidence that the roots of the Greta PR campaign go back to at least 2015.
