  • On April 22, 2021, which is Earth Day, the conspiratorial website Gateway Pundit posted a headline positing that 18-year-old Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg had threatened Congress. The Gateway Pundit headline read, 'My Advice For You is to Choose Wisely' – Greta Thunberg Threatens Congress on Earth Day (VIDEO). The story was something of a bait-and-switch because, while the headline advertised a threat, the story reports that Thunberg actually just warned U.S. lawmakers how their legacies will be viewed by future generations: Thunberg on Thursday warned politicians that today’s youth will decided how those in power 'will be remembered' so tread lightly and take action to fight climate change now. Thunberg's comments can be heard in full in the following C-SPAN video: Thunberg was among various stakeholders invited to speak virtually to a U.S. House of Representatives panel during a hearing held on Earth Day, a day on which U.S. President Joe Biden pledged to slash U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030.
