#7: Fear & Loathing in China (Wild Story!), Why Greta Thunberg & Environmentalists Are Wrong? - Mikhail Tretyak

Curated Advice on Better Living

Mikhail Tretyak is a Ukrainian-American working in one of the giant energy corporations. His career began at Universal Oil Products (UOP), traveling to different sites worldwide to investigate and troubleshoot technical issues. Our conversation starts with Mikhail’s experiences in China in the 90’s one of them being a gut-wrenching story of him helping a group of Russian women sold into human trafficking. Things take a turn when an unlikely encounter with Mike Chinoy, CNN’s Bureau Chief in Beijing, leads Mikhail to help arrange an interview with one of the girls in his hotel room. When the story aired on CNN, the Chinese authorities discovered Mikhail’s role, leading to a series of unfortunate events. We then move on to the climate debate, where Mikhail debunks many environmentalist talking points while criticizing the use of Greta Thunberg as a symbol for the movement.
