Greta Thunberg stars in the music video for Pearl Jam’s environmental doom tune “Retrograde.” The teenage climate alarmist plays a fortune-teller warning of imminent climate destruction, the video’s director revealed.
The animated music video sees a man visit a fortune-teller who presents him with a crystal ball.
As the man gazes into it, he envisions melting glaciers and devastating floods decimating Manhattan, Paris, Seattle, and London, while wildfires sweep across Australia.
In an interview with Variety, the video’s director Josh Wakely confirmed that the physic was in fact, Thunberg. Wakely added that the band had planned to film live footage but were forced to scrap those plans as a result of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
“Something Pearl Jam has done so extraordinarily well for 30 years is to speak truth to power and fire warning shots,” he said. “Several other Gigaton songs spoke to me, but this one kept me up at night.”
Wakely explained that he chose Thunberg because her presence provided the necessary “emotion” for the video to work, describing her as “an absolute stone-cold hero” for her climate change crusade.
Because of the circumstances surrounding its productions, he used existing footage of the 17-year-old and then super-imposed her face onto an actor.
“She never had to act a frame, but she provided that emotion I was looking for,” Wakely continued. “It was a huge thrill to see an email in my inbox from her saying that she loved it.”
Pearl Jam’s habit of speaking “truth to power” has generally involved advocating left-wing and progressive causes.
In 2018, the rock group sparked condemnation after releasing a promotional poster featuring a dead President Donald Trump and an American bald eagle eating the remains of his corpse.

Yet another climate movie in the heels of michael moore? If the moore doesn’t kill this beast the greta surely will.
Liberal Celeberties are always getting into some idiotic little camapaigns wheather it be Animal Rights,Gun Control or Climate Change it don’t matter at all Liberal Celeebrties are suckers for just about everything that suits their weird tastes and they have their false god(Greta Thunberg)whom they wash her feet and kiss her rings
“Truth to power”?? What a joke. A more establishment-supportive message is hardly imaginable at this point.
“truth to power” should be “truthiness to power”.
My ‘gut-feelings’ (emotions) over-rule your empirical facts.
Al Gore tiled his last book ASSAULT ON REASON he is a total hypocrite its Al Gore is the Bore who assaults reason
Funny how the has-beens and graspers (Pearl Jam ain’t Nirvana) turn into climate activists for attention and relevance.
The whole video is fabricated and Wakely seems proud of it. Greta “sees” carbon dioxide, Greta is clairvoyant. Greta has that emotion. Actually, no. She’s gorked.
Dos’nt Pearl Jam use Violent Words in their music? or foul language as well?
Sure sounds like I’ll be heading right out to buy their latest music! Oh wait, we are all quarantined so nope, won’t be buying their crap!
For Al Gore to use the term Truth to Power is a joke when it comes to the Truth Al Gore has no leg to stand on and as for his other book EARTH IN THE BALANCE Gore has his Thumb on the scale
