Greta Thunberg is trying out the viral Barbie trend to call everyone’s attention to the Rosebank protest which highlights the problems of the new oil and gas field.
Barbie movie has been gaining a lot of attention for its Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling cast and the message it gives. Amid this, Greta Thunberg decided to use a famous dialogue from the movie to draw attention to the protest regarding the Rosebank oil and gas field. Greta’s decision to use the popular Barbie trend does not come as a surprise as she is often confused for Greta Gerwig, the director of the movie.
Greta Thunberg hops on the Barbie trend
Recently, Greta took to Stop Cambo’s Instagram to draw attention to the disadvantages of having the Rosebank oil and gas field. In the video, the climate activist can be heard saying the popular line from Barbie: “Have you ever thought about dying?”
She then proceeds to call out Rishi Sunak, Grant Shapps, and Equinor for wanting to open the oil filled. In the caption, Greta reminds everyone that the “project would produce more CO2 than the world’s 28 poorest countries do in a year.”
The video has already gone viral on social media with several people weighing in their thoughts.
What is the Rosebank oil field project about?
Rosebank is a field off the coast of the Shetland Islands in Scotland. As per reports, the area is expected to produce up to 500 million barrels of oil, but it will be at the cost of environmental damage.
As of now, this project has not been approved. Despite this, time and again Greta has used her voice to draw attention to this.
She even spoke about it in an interview with Channel 4 as she noted: “The fact that the UK Government is even considering this tells us exactly how out of touch with reality they are. All the record-breaking heat waves and the extreme weather events we’ve seen during the summer is just the beginning of a rapidly escalating existential crisis.”
