Reply to Norway: Thunberg joins Indigenous protests against turbines. The young environmental activist says green energy cannot come at the expense of human rights. A court order has deemed the turbines' location in Norway illegal, as they disrupt Sami reindeer-herding traditions by DoremusJessup
It's okay to be principled on human rights but solving climate emergency is not just about picking who wins. There are people who are going to lose and that has to be accepted.
We can't as a world say we won't do this because it will hurt this group or that group, or Mr Smith...
It's all very complicated and decisions like this just highlight the tragedy of the situation
