Fact Check
What are permanent climate lockdowns?
Permanent climate lockdowns refer to the concept of implementing long-term restrictions or measures to address environmental and climate-related challenges. These measures could involve significant changes in various aspects of society, such as energy consumption, transportation, industrial practices, and more, with the goal of mitigating the effects of climate change and preserving the planet’s ecological balance. The term implies sustained and ongoing efforts to combat climate change rather than short-term or temporary solutions. Moreover, the specific details and implications of such lockdowns would vary based on the context and strategies adopted.
Did Klaus Schwab’s daughter say permanent climate lockdowns are coming?
No. There is no credible information available indicating that Klaus Schwab’s daughter Nicole Schwab has made such a statement. Many false and confusing things are being shared on social media about climate change. Some say climate change is not real, while others admit it is but share conflicting information, as seen in this fact-checking story.
Klaus Schwab is the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, known for its discussions on global issues including climate change.
We ran a quick Google reverse image search and found the original article from where the claimed picture has been taken. The article has been published on a website named The People’s Voice, which used to be called NewsPunch. This website is known for making up stories. We have previously debunked Pope Francis recommending euthanasia as claimed by another article published on The People’s Voice website.
Moreover, the article from The People’s Voice doesn’t provide any proof for the claim it makes. The article talks about a video where Nicole Schwab discusses climate change. However, in the video, Nicole Schwab doesn’t talk about lockdowns. She mainly talks about how nature is important for the economy.
