Anyone looking to Greta Thunberg for a warm and fuzzy seal of approval is looking in the wrong place.

The European Commission got a firsthand taste of the Swedish climate campaigner’s propensity for icy blasts Wednesday when she poured scorn on Brussels’ much-touted Climate Law, calling it a “surrender.”

Her condemnation came despite EU policymakers pulling out all the stops for the 17-year-old activist — even letting her into the European Parliament despite a coronavirus-inspired ban on access to the building.

After spending Wednesday morning with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and her commissioners to share her thoughts on the law, Thunberg later also spoke at an extraordinary meeting of the European Parliament’s environment committee.

“This week the European Parliament is actually closed off to visitors … but today opened to Greta,” shouted Italian MEP Silvia Sardone of the right-wing Identity and Democracy group. “It seems that maybe the environmentalists can’t contract the virus.”

Thunberg used that access to dump cold water over the Climate Law — which aims for the bloc to become climate neutral by 2050, but dodges some political minefields by not spelling out the level of additional greenhouse gas reductions needed by 2030.

“We need action today, not by 2030 or by 2050. This is an existential threat to humanity and not enough is being done,” she said.

“We will not allow you to surrender on our future,” she told the packed meeting of MEPs, adding that the EU is just “pretending that a law that no one has to follow is a law.”

That’s become something of a standard act for Thunberg, who has addressed audiences from global climate summits to the world’s business and political elite at Davos — raking them over the coals for not doing enough to combat climate change. Those accusations are usually met by cheers from those being chastised.

Thunberg’s speech Wednesday was followed by applause and some standing ovations.

Despite the traditional denunciation for inaction, Thunberg’s presence has become mandatory for big climate events.

“It’s very nice to use you as a symbol of climate activism … it makes our work easier,” said Finnish Left Alliance MEP Silvia Modig.

Sardone was less complementary, saying: “It’s becoming ever more clear that Greta is being exploited even by the European Commission.”

Thunberg’s scathing review of the Climate Law underlined the deep divisions within the EU over the initiative. Many green campaigners and politicians fear it doesn’t go far enough to rein in global warming, while others worry it will hobble the Continent’s economy.

“I agree with you that the Climate Law presented by the Commission today is not in line with science,” said Jytte Guteland, a Swedish MEP with the Socialists & Democrats.

Peter Liese, an MEP with the European People’s Party, thanked Thunberg for her performance, but rejected her take: “I disagree with you because I think this new law is ambitious and shows that we in Europe are doing more than anywhere else in tackling the climate emergency.”
