Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg, 16, is testifying before Congress next week at the invitation of House Democrats.
Thunberg will appear Sept. 18 before a joint hearing of a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee and the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.
She is among a group of young climate activists Democrats invited to testify at the hearing, entitled "Voices Leading the Next Generation on the Global Climate Crisis."
Thunberg is best known for founding an international movement called Fridays for Future, in which students skip school on Fridays to participate in demonstrations demanding action to combat climate change.
Last month she traveled across the Atlantic Ocean in an emissions-free solar-powered boat, instead of flying, to New York City ahead of her speech on Sept. 23 at the United Nations Climate Action Summit.
Were at the point where an entire generation has grown up in the climate crisis, said Democratic Rep. Kathy Castor of Florida, chairwoman of the Select Climate Crisis Committee. They know the science, they know the stakes and they know how to rise to the challenge. We need to rise with them."
... because she has such gravitas?
What the hell does she know?
Future lesbo
Doesnt this girl have some kind of developmental issues or autism or something? The left are exploiting this kid.
She knows how to get before the Rats in Congress
Who also know nothing.
Swedish child abuse.
Followed by "what do you think the population of the earth should be?"
I heard that Greta has Asperger’s syndrome, and some other problems. This accounts for her odd appearance and mannerisms.
I am.NOT trying to criticize anyone with problems such as her. I AM saying that someone is using her, someone is using an ignorant 16 year old to push global warming.
I can see it now. Any tough questions which may come to her in that hearing, and the liberals will go nuts, saying how can you beat up.on a little girl who is scared for her future, etc.
So she will get to grandstand, to the delight of her handlers. She will be called brave and an icon by the obsequious liberals on that committee.
The media have decided that she is global warming royalty, so she will get the most favorable treatment possible on her American tour.
Yes. And..yes they are. It’s what they do.
Florida Woman, how ignorant can you be ? Somebody, anybody, put this woman out of a job.
I’d love to see a Republican stand up and say, ‘See? This is what fetal alcohol syndrome produces!’
Kick this nitwit out of the country. Arrest her enanlers and abusers.
Did the little twit us the solar powered boat for the RETURN trip home last trip? How about this next visit? Solar powered boat again? To really help the planet out with your global warming fraud/hoax/scam, next time...SWIM you beyotch!
So who decided that putting a 16 year old girl with developmental problems on a boat with a bunch of men to sail across the ocean was a good idea ?
16??? 16???? 16????? The Dems are DUMBER than I even thought they were!!
Good Lord. I would never trust a teenager with anything.
Wow. A movement to skip school on Friday!
Where does the line start...
