Greta Thunberg just spent last November dyeing Venice's Grand Canal bright green to protest a climate conference she refused to attend.
That's the movement – celebrity stunts, international flights, and children terrified into believing they have no future.
One of the people who built that machine just went on record and told the world exactly what it was.
Former Climate Activist Admits She Helped AOC Push the Green New Deal
Lucy Biggers wasn't some fringe activist posting from her bedroom.
She was a social video producer at NowThis – the left-wing media operation that packaged progressive propaganda as viral content for young Americans.
She interviewed Greta Thunberg in Stockholm.
She traveled to Standing Rock and produced footage that drove the Dakota Access Pipeline protests to 17 million views on Facebook alone.
She helped Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez get elected in 2018, amplifying the Green New Deal as the climate movement's defining demand.
She built a massive following as a sustainability influencer – and in her own words, she always knew the issues were more complicated than the way she sold them to her true-believer followers.
Then COVID happened – and the fantasy collapsed in real time.
How COVID Broke Her Faith in Climate Alarmism
When governments locked down the world, the climate cult cheered.
Carbon emissions dropped by nearly 5 percent.
Biggers looked at that number and felt something shift.
Society had been imprisoned, freedom stripped away, depression spreading across an entire generation – and the needle barely moved.
She started calculating what a full 100 percent carbon reduction would actually require.
The answer was terrifying.
Then came the masks, the plastic barriers, the mountains of single-use PPE flooding every pharmacy and grocery store in America.
Biggers had spent years at war with plastic straws.
Now plastic was everywhere – and nothing happened.
In her Free Press interview with reporter Maya Sulkin, Biggers put it simply: she'd been obsessing over plastic straws for five years, then watched society absorb more plastic in a few months than she'd seen in her entire lifetime – and the world did not end.
The climate cult's entire theory of the case had collapsed under the weight of a surgical mask.
Deprogramming From a Doomsday Cult
Biggers has described leaving the climate movement as something close to a full deprogramming.
Her identity and career had been built around the conviction that modern, wealthy civilization was destroying the planet.
When she picked up Michael Shellenberger's book Apocalypse Never in 2020, she was looking for an escape from her own anxiety – the doomsday framing had become psychologically crushing to live inside.
She now has roughly 170,000 followers across social media, and her climate realism videos have topped six million views.
She calls the climate movement a scam – not because she stopped caring about the environment, but because she realized the movement was never really about the environment.
"For years, I just lived feeling so much guilt I couldn't appreciate all the abundance around me," Biggers told Just the News.

How the Climate Cult Uses Climate Anxiety to Control Young People
Here's what the climate cult actually does to the people it recruits.
It tells young women they shouldn't have children because the planet is dying.
It tells young men their prosperity is shameful.
It manufactures what researchers now call an epidemic of climate anxiety among young people – then hands them a paper straw and tells them they're heroes.
That anxiety isn't a side effect.
It's the product.
A frightened young person donates, marches, votes, and recruits their friends – all while being too paralyzed by guilt to build a life, start a family, or appreciate what this country gives them.
The same people who staged the Standing Rock protests left 48 million pounds of garbage behind in North Dakota and handed taxpayers a cleanup bill exceeding one million dollars.
The same leaders who grounded an entire generation's hope in apocalyptic fear flew private jets to Stockholm, dyed Venetian canals green, and boycotted the very climate conferences they claimed would determine humanity's survival.
Lucy Biggers spent years helping build that machine.
Now she's spending her platform tearing it apart – one viral video at a time.
