Teen Crisis Actor. F*** You Greta
The Sun causes global warming.
Get back to me when you figure out how to regulate it.
More propaganda for the gullible.
When I really want to know what is going on, I ask AP and the latest teenager they are backing. /NOT
Young skull full of mush.
She is also on the cover of the Vogue Magazine “Women who have shaped the world” designed by Meghan Markel.
Wow, she convinced students to skip school. What a leader.
It would be great if she meets a hurricane along the way.
Where’s her PhD from?
Toolbag trying to infect others-—GO AWAY!!!
I suggest she come by bicycle.
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...
.. sail across the Atlantic aboard a high-tech racing yacht..
Now that is something I would love to do..How exciting that would be...
So it took her months to figure out that if you can't cross the ocean by plane, you need to use a boat ?????????
So I wonder who is paying for the COMING TO AMERICA trip??
[[So it took her months to figure out that if you can’t cross the ocean by plane, you need to use a boat ?????????]]
LOL- and she’s gonna lecture us about the climate? I think not!
Who gives a damn what some European kid raised on Gaia Worshipping propaganda thinks? Were OT about to cripple our economy for this dumbassery.
Maybe she should sail to China? Bigger bang for her time.
