You will probably of heard of the young climate change activist Greta Thunberg (especially her meme-worthy "how dare you" speech), and her sudden rise to stardom for bunking off of school to protest for awareness of global warming.

It may seem to some that she was a 'nobody' who became a 'somebody' overnight, however, that is not the case: Her parents are known public figures and she has ties to a historical climate change figure.

In today's video, we discuss an article that documents the ancestry of Greta Thunberg and her ties to Svante Arrhenius: The first scientist to describe the 'Arrhenius Effect', who also has links to the Swedish Society for Racial Hygiene, which promoted eugenics.
