CORRECTION, June 22 2023: Greta Thunberg’s 2018 tweet quoted a scientist as predicting humanity would end “unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.” She did not predict the world would end in five years. An earlier version of this article and its headline mischaracterized her post.
Five years ago, almost to the day, Greta Thunberg made an apocalyptic claim about the fate of the world, and now we know whether or not it has come true.
On June 21, 2018, the then-15-year-old Swedish climate activist sent out an alarming tweet that seemed to imply that due to climate change caused by fossil fuels, we had only five years left to act to prevent the end of the world.
“A top scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years,” the tweet read.
Now, it is nearly the five-year anniversary of Thunberg’s dire warning, and to the surprise of almost no one, except perhaps Thunberg, the world has survived and appears to be going nowhere for the time being.
Thunberg obviously realized a while back that her prediction would come to nothing and she would be humiliated, as she deleted the tweet in order to save face. But people have the screenshots, and they are not letting her forget it.

People are using the occasion to lambast Thunberg for this prediction, which is just the latest in a long line of failed predictions from people like Al Gore about the impact of climate change.
“Humanity survived — in large part- due to fossil fuels usage — not in spite of it,” one user chastised Thunberg.
Happy soon-to-be Anniversary to this (now-deleted) tweet. Remember, the internet lives forever and not everything is doom and gloom.

Others reacted by mocking Thunberg, pretending to panic about the possible end of the world, and sarcastically telling people to prepare for the inevitable.
Everyone stop what you are doing!!!! ?

This reaction to Thunberg’s tweet is quite clear. As mentioned earlier, Thunberg is merely the latest doomsday prophet whose warnings about climate change have come to absolutely nothing.
She and the rest of the elites need to keep repeating apocalyptic predictions in order to push the green agenda. In order for it to work, they need people to believe that the world is about to end.
This is the rationale behind Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, which is grounded on the premise that the world only has about 12 years left to battle climate change.
How many of these doomsday scenarios have to be disproven before we finally stop listening to these people?
Thunberg has become the face of a movement that is constantly being discredited by anyone with common sense, and it is time we just ignored her and moved on with our lives.
