Sorry, Greta, even your fellow Swedes aren't buying the climate change claptrap anymore
American Thinker ^ | 09/20/2019 | Monica Showalter

Greta Thunberg, the Swedish child activist who doesn't know much, but is very certain of what she's saying, is having her heyday in the U.S., fiercely putting on her 'I won't eat those peas' face for the camers, telling the U.S. Congress they're not trying hard enough, leading a giant global protest today, and getting hailed as the child savior of the earth.

Just one glitch here. Her home nation of Sweden, yes, you read right, Sweden, isn't buying the global warming claptrap anymore. Mark Morano over at Climate Depot has found a damning survey.

An international opinion poll published today reveals that half of the UK population and most European citizens are sceptical about the conventional climate alarm.

Despite blanket coverage of the antics of Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion on the BBC and elsewhere in the media, just 51% of Britons think that mankind is the main cause of climate change.
And as the poll reveals, a majority of Europeans, including two thirds of Scandinavians, are dissenters from the climate “consensus”.

According to GWPF director, Dr Benny Peiser, the general public is hard to fool:
“The public can tell when they are on the receiving end of a hard sell. The more climate alarmists scream about emergencies, the more the mainstream media shut down any dissent, the less convinced the man in street will be.”

So let's break down the chart here

Thirty-six percent of Swedes think climate change is man-caused. Forty-eight percent think the climate is changing and humans only partly responsible. Eight percent say the climate is changing and it's not people doing it. Two percent say it's not changing at all.

Greta's a proud member of the Swedish 36%. The other Swedes are in varying degrees, skeptical, some very skeptical indeed.

We’re having a fine day here in Florida. Windy, cooler, with no humidity. It feels like early November right now!

Wow. What is shocking about those numbers is how few people believe the climate is NOT changing. The Left has succeeded into convincing billions that such a thing as "climate change" actually exists.

Fact: the climate is not changing.

It’s not changing.

Whatever measurements they do aren’t accurate enough to make the claims they make. It’s pseudoscience.

Our current Congress is an embarrassment to United States. Specially, the House of Representative Democrats. They are an insult to everything good and decent.

The climate has been changing for billions of years. It will continue to change for the next billions of years. We can’t do anything about it.

That ugly little gnome, that nasty little Swedish meatball, won't take her message to the little brown and black people who are actually polluting this world. She has to scold white people. Because, you know, white privilige.

Combine global warming crazies with celebrity worshipers and behold. Enter Greta delivered by a big left blowing wind. However note well. The creature did not come forth from a cultural, social or political vacuum. The world has far too many destructive global warming crazies and vapid celebrity worshipers.

Not sure what you mean. The climate is changing and will always be changing.
