Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist who said that meeting Donald Trump during her upcoming visit to America would be a “waste,” is not quite as pure as she thinks.
Much has been made of the fact that Thunberg will be traveling to the U.S. via a “zero-carbon” high-tech racing yacht instead of flying. The teen, who has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize(!), is heading to New York for a U.N. summit on the climate.
When asked if she would meet with the president, she answered, “Why should I waste time talking to him when he, of course, is not going to listen to me?” Apart from the fact no invitation to a meeting with the White House was tendered, she sounds like the sort of smug teen whose face the Left would like to slap.
As for her vaunted boat trip, it, too, has been sullied by the revelation that, once the ship reaches port, two crew members will need to be flown across the Atlantic to bring the boat back. According to Firstpost:

A spokeswoman for Team Malizia said it’ll be necessary to fly the crew to the U.S. because the high-profile trip with the 16-year-old Swedish campaigner that left Plymouth on Wednesday was arranged at very short notice.
Holly Cova [the team’s manager] told The Associated Press by email Friday that “we only have one boat, so they cannot easily sail over to meet them.”
Kinda takes the starch out of Thunberg’s sails, no?
Cova said the team recognises it’s “an imperfect solution” but believes offsetting the emissions by funding carbon-reducing projects elsewhere “is better than doing nothing.”

If they ever remake “The Bad Seed” they should cast her as Rhoda.
Is this the new Samantha Smith?
Shouldn’t she be in school, rather than lecturing the world about global warming?
I smell George Soros.
We had to burn down the village to save the village.
So how is she getting back to Sweden? Her boat will be gone.
Greenies never are. Sacrifice is for other people, not them.
Is this teenage automaton who simply regurgitates spoon-fed misinformation among the “97% of scientists” who claim that the planet is warming due to human activity? What her ‘credentials’ exactly?
Feed her to some Musloids.
Waitin’ on a crossfire hurricane. Yup. Making a composite/carbon fiber sailboat probably didn’t create anything unfriendly to the eco wankers dreams. Right?
What, the zero-carbon boat isn’t for real? Gee, I thought it ran on rainbows and love.
Yes she is the new Samantha Smith. She will be feted and honored as some icon and visionary on the cause of global warming.
Eventually she will be featured in a future book on women’s empowerment to be written by Hillary and Chelsea.
She'll use the transporter...
Where does her black & grey water go on this long trip across the ocean?

Meh.
Ever since Obozo was given one as a Participation Prize, those things have no value or meaning whatsoever.
Treat it like a Chinese Shipping container.
No economic sense to send it back empty? Sell, it as a Hi Tech house to some tree hugging lefty.
Or Auction it on EBay to save the baby-fill-in-blank. (except baby humans, those you can just vacuum up to get rid of)
” Why should I waste time talking to him when he, of course, is not going to listen to me ?”
said the 16 year old re the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES
Serieslee- think of the gallons of fiberglass / composite resins and Toulene that went great not that hi tech boat. Electric Power to the sanders and tools. I could go on and on because I’ve built stuff before -
They’ll just hold it until they get to the states.
