Far-left climate extremist Greta Thunberg had a meltdown while speaking at the United Nations on Monday about climate change, claiming that the state of the world is on the verge of collapse.
The Washington Examiner noted that Thunberg "has stage-parents, literally. Her mother sang opera internationally until the teenager convinced her to quit due to greenhouse gas emissions from flying, and her father and grandfather both gained fame through acting and directing."
Thunberg repeatedly condemned adults by dramatically saying, "how dare you!" as she warned of a future that she suggested may not even exist due to climate change.
"My message is that we'll be watching you. This is all wrong, I shouldn't be up here, I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean," Thunberg began. "Yet, you all come to us young people for hope, how dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words and yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth."
Thunberg's speech, which was widely criticized online as bordering on child abuse, also included statements that could be perceived as threatening, including the statement: "If you choose to fail us I say we will never forgive you. We will not let you get away with this."

Transcript of Thunberg's speech:
My message is that we'll be watching you. This is all wrong, I shouldn't be up here, I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet, you all come to us young people for hope, how dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words and yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you.
For more than 30 years the science has been crystal-clear. How dare you continue to look away and come here saying that you're doing enough when the politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight. You say you hear us and that you understand the urgency but no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act then you would be evil and that I refuse to believe.
The popular idea of cutting our emissions in half in 10 years only gives us a 50% chance of staying below 1.5 degrees and the risk of setting of irreversible chain reactions beyond human control. 50% may be acceptable to you but those numbers do not include tipping points, most feedback loops, additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution, or the aspects of equity and climate justice, they also rely on my generation sucking hundreds of billions of tons of your CO2 out of the air with technologies that barely exist. So, a 50% risk is simply not acceptable to us, we who have to live with the consequences.
How dare you pretend that this can be sold with just business as usual and some technical solutions with today's emissions levels that remaining CO2 budgets will be entirely gone within less than 8 and a half years. There will not be any solutions or plans presented in line with these figures here today because these numbers are too uncomfortable and you are still not mature enough to tell it like it is. You are failing us but the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you and if you choose to fail us I say we will never forgive you. We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now, is where we draw the line the world is waking up and change is coming whether you like it or not.
Greta makes the chick from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo look like a fun time.
Liberal Fascism clearly on display.
Oh the emotion, oh we need to listen to the scientists and convert our Western Democracies into totalitarian states run by Climate Scientists whose data is more than just highly suspect , It is WRONG.
If you want the real lowdown:
Joe Bastardi: “Climate change agenda is being driven by hysteria, not facts.”
**************************************************
Throughout my 40 year career as a meteorologist, I have tried to live up to the responsibility I inherited from my predecessors. I was taught to strive for objective truth, irrespective of where the data would lead. Science is not a belief system based on feelings or subjective motives. It is about facts, evidence, theories and experimentation in search of a conclusion.
The impassioned speech by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., to Congress last week revealed volumes about the intent and commitment of those pushing the Green New Deal. I can’t help but question if their positions are based on facts.
Ocasio-Cortez’s statements about adverse climate effects and policy proposals reflect a lack of knowledge about energy policy and the geopolitical and financial impacts of abandoning fossil fuels in a quick and reckless manner. “The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change,” she said earlier this year – a statement clearly designed to elicit panic but hardly based on fact.
NICOLAS LORIS: THE GREEN NEW DEAL WOULD COST TRILLIONS AND MAKE NOT A DIME’S WORTH OF DIFFERENCE
In this age of political hysteria, we must all educate ourselves on the facts – the actual science. Unfortunately, there seems to be a total lack of awareness about important issues that scientists like myself – who aren’t paid by research grants – are concerned about.
Instead, climate science is being used as a political weapon, and the voices of scientists like me are being ignored or even vilified. I was under the impression that in the United States, all voices and arguments should be heard. Climate science is not settled science. If it was, why would there be a continuous flow of money to research it?
For example, is AOC aware that in the fossil fuel era, in spite of a four-fold increase in population, deaths have plummeted?

If everyone who believes that CO2 is a dangerous pollutant would just stop exhaling, we could solve this problem overnight.
What a shame to waste a little girls life like this.
What a nut. Her parents must be getting lots of money to pimp their daughter like that.
Oh, she snapped alright. Gross child abuse.
Another example of the mentally unstable being indoctrinated by the Left to bring down our country.
I always listen to 16-year-olds on serious matters, because I remember how much wiser, mature and better informed I was at that age.
This little monster is going to grow up to be a mass murderer if given the chance.
The people behind this dog and pony show should be investigated for child abuse.
Where are this poor child’s parents?
Red flag her before it’s too late.
If they ever get power it will make pol pot look like a piker.

That was the worst political acting ever - multiples more scripted and pathetic than even Christine Blasey-Ford’s display.
The new Hitler Youth....Climate Youth. I really do feel sorry for this kid. She has been brainwashed.
She is beyond delusional, she is insane.
Needs to be put into a nice padded room, where she can hold speeches for the ghosts.
