STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager whose social media-savvy brand of eco-activism has inspired tens of thousands of students in Europe to skip classes and protest for faster action against climate change, said Monday that she plans to take her message to America the old-fashioned way: by boat.

The 16-year-old tweeted that she'll sail across the Atlantic aboard a high-tech racing yacht, leaving Britain next month to attend U.N. climate summits in New York in September and Santiago, Chile, in December.

Thunberg told The Associated Press ahead of her announcement that she spent months trying to figure out how to travel to the U.S. without using planes, which she has long shunned because of their high greenhouse gas emissions.

Cruise ships are also notoriously big polluters, while sailors rarely brave the Atlantic in August because of hurricane risks.

"Taking a boat to North America is basically impossible," she said in an interview during her weekly "Fridays for Future" protest outside the Swedish parliament in Stockholm. "I have had countless people helping me, trying to contact different boats."

The Sun causes global warming.

Get back to me when you figure out how to regulate it.

She needs to read some of the East Anglia University emails. That’s all you need to know about the climate change agenda.

Foreigners should be barred from civic discourse in the US, in fact they should be barred from all forms of political participation including marches and demonstrations.

What’s popular about the little grump?

Just another Scandinavian idiot lecturing the rest of the world from her insular hut in the bozo echo chamber known as Sweden.

You know, the famously moral people who sat out WWII cuz they couldn’t bring themselves to attack the people who took over the country next door to them and herded everyone they didn’t like out of the other countries nearby like Baltics.

“Young skull full of mush.”

There is no God in the world of climate changers. Mankind has no eternal destiny, and prayer can’t stop a drought...

So it took her months to figure out that if you can't cross the ocean by plane, you need to use a boat ?????????
