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.

More collusion from abroad.

You GOTTA be kidding me!
Swedish ‘eh?
Let’s kill two birds with one stone and hire an all muslim sailing crew to sail you to China first sweetie and preach your wisdom.
Then, if there is anything left of you to contribute, come here and I will give you 1 minute.
so we’re taking the words of a retard as the path forward?
Perhaps a submarine or a kraken ?
Why doesn’t she take her “message” to India, China, and other real pollution monsters??? Guess it safer and comfortable to bother civilized USA.
P.S. BTW, it seems her hair did not see shower and a comb for quite some time...
Guess little Greta couldn’t get her highly Earth-caring classmates to stay an hour after school for two weeks to work of her project. But a skip day? Yay!
And the sailboat trip across the Atlantic in August...is a Darwin Award trophy ready?
Yeah. Not only were they cowards, they paid tribute to the monster.
The Chinese would just put her back on the plane as an unwanted troublemaker.
I always check with 16 year old girls when searching for information on something important.
Send her back
