Abstract

Greta Thunberg is a 16 years old environmentalist that internationally denunciated the effect that the global climate change could have in the humanity. Since then she has been called mental ill, puppet and a rich and catastrophic girl. In this paper we assess the truthfulness of five of her affirmations done in a world forum. Are her detractors right? or Is she saying awkward truths for some people with economic and political interests? We invite you to join us in our search for the truth.
