Greta Thunberg To U.S.: 'You Have A Moral Responsibility' On Climate Change
NPR ^ | Sept. 13, 2019 | Bill Chappell

Posted on 09/13/2019 1:38:34 PM PDT by Innovative

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, 16, attends a protest outside the White House on Friday. She launched the Friday school strikes last year. Since then, her notoriety has steadily grown as she speaks in clear and powerful terms about why people — particularly young people — must pay attention to our climate.

Greta Thunberg led a protest at the White House Friday. But she wasn't looking to go inside: "I don't want to meet with people who don't accept the science," she says. The young Swedish activist joined a large crowd of protesters outside the White House Friday morning, calling for immediate action to help the environment and reverse an alarming warming trend in average global temperatures.

Her message for President Trump is the same thing she tells other politicians, Thunberg says: listen to science and take responsibility.

Someone has convinced her that she’s going to be dead in a decade if the USA does not completely stop using fossil fuels.

That is child abuse IMHO.

Sweden or hell? Is there a difference these days? How would one differentiate?

Her time would be better spent addressing the 1 in 3 women being raped by islamists there. Odds are heavily not in her favour. She best get a hijab before going back.

Anyone ask her how her boat is getting home? Or how she’s getting home?

Don’t forget India or Indonesia.

She needs to go on a Pacific tour far from the comfy confines of California.

I wonder how many years before Greta Thunberg becomes aware of how mislead she has been and how misleading she has been in misleading many, many others...I am calling her a fraud early on.

People who say they believe in man-made climate change are idiots, liars, or both.

Wisdom is the product of knowledge (gained by the education received) and experience (gained over years lived).

So Greta has not finished high school and is 16. So...not much in the way of knowledge or experience.

So why again should we be listening to someone with so little wisdom?

Greta’s parents have a moral responsibility to take this mentally, physically and emotionally damaged child out of the public eye, and get her the help she needs to become a competent human being.

But that’s not going to happen, because her parents are long time kook leftist activists, and are likely directly responsible for their children’s problems.

Few people know how really screwed up this girl and her family are:

I agree that they manipulated her royally. And she did NOT sail that boat and it was powered by solar and a generator. There was a crew.

She had cookies and milk.

It was free advertising for the maker of the boat.

Greta,
Come back when you’ve gotten a Chemical Engineering degree.
Until then concentrate on not getting pregnant and doing other stupid teen events.

...like getting a free trip to America.

Fortunately for me, I don’t accept lectures on morality from brainwashed teenage girls.


It seems obvious, that someone is pushing her forward, someone is using her, to push global warming. Someone on the left, decided that using a teenage girl as the face of global warming would be a good idea. What’s up with this? Is she supposed to melt our hearts, that she’s an adorable young lady, warning the world about the doom we face?

Are we supposed to feel sorry for her, as she and her handlers have publicly said she has Asperger’s Syndrome? Is that fact supposed to reinforce our desire to hear her speak out?

How precious she is, lecturing us like we give a ©Г@p what she thinks. When is this Thick as a Brick tour coming to an end? And is she selling GRETA'S WHIRLED TOUR t-shirts?
