The one being used as a spokesperson by the Heartland Institute?
I read somewhere she made racist and anti-Semitic remarks, and had a Holocaust denier as a mentor.

This is the worst sort of grifting. Create a mirror copycat because you don't have any original ideas.

Naomi Seibt, a 19-year-old German YouTuber whom conservatives have dubbed the anti-Greta, expressed support Friday for a Canadian alt-right commentator at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Speaking to reporters at a panel sponsored by the Heartland Institute, a right-leaning think tank based outside Chicago, Seibt argued that climate activists amounted to climate alarmists. She said Stefan Molyneuxs comments had been misconstrued by his critics.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups, has called Molyneux a skilled propagandist who amplifies scientific racism, eugenics and white supremacism. Molyneux, who has hundreds of thousands of YouTube followers, has encouraged thousands of people to adopt his belief in biological determinism, social Darwinism and non-white racial inferiority, the group says in an online profile.
At the conference outside Washington, a reporter from Business Insider asked Seibt if she still considered Molyneux an inspiration for her work in light of the following remark of his: Ive always been skeptical of the ideas of white nationalism, of identitarianism and white identity. However, I am an empiricist, and I could not help but notice that I could have peaceful, free, easy, civilized, and safe discussions in what is essentially an all-white country.
I am still a fan, absolutely, she replied.
