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.
Ooooookay nutball. Somebody get the little tard a bag to breath into.
Geez. Someone needs a nap
“Her mother sang opera internationally, until the teen convinced her to give it up due to greenhouse gas emissions from flying.”
What??!!
It takes time, skill and inner passion just to learn how to sing opera, let alone to develop a career. Mom gave all that up just to make a gloomy teenager happy? Maybe if I was a parent, I would understand that. Right now, I do not.
This girl likes to control people, quite a lot.
I just said she was insane.
Just look at her eyes. There is no doubt.
I sure hope Little Miss Nazi is planning on a trip to Bejing to lecture the Chinese about this.
Programmed.
So she favors nuclear I presume? Why don’t conservatives exert more pressure on progressives to go Nuclear?
I used to play hockey with a dude who looked like her.
Gretl von Weather is wishing us to the cornfield.
Young lady, are you proposing war with China and India to force them to comply with climate change fascism?
And the first ones she kills will be her parents.
Liberals have created these neurotic little tarts! This little sh*t is going to have a coronary by 18!
She does kinda have that look.
She is a LEFTIST Fascist.
Liberal is a fuzzy nice word.
Leftist exposes their angry fists.
“we need to listen to the scientists and convert our Western Democracies into totalitarian states”
The 1st tyrant in charge will off said scientists. Stalin style.
Lets take all modern conveniences away from Greta that are destroying the planet or made by people she believes are destroying the planet, and see how she lives up to her own words.
Sweden is on the verge of extinction, not by a changing climate but by allowing all the Mohammadmen rapists and murderers into their country.
Mass extinction at the hands of the death cult called Islam which continues to grow like rabbits.
Mom wanted an excuse to stop working in her career.
So when 2030 rolls around and we’re all OK, we don’t have to listen to these idjits ever again after they get it completely wrong one more time, right?
