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.
Who goes to young people for hope? That’s absurd.
Weaponized autism on display.

“People are suffering, people are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction”
Please tell me I didn’t sleep through the apocalypse again?
We’ve all seen a four year old have pouty meltdown. Usually, they grow up. I was about that age when I figured out that the world didn’t and wouldn’t revolve around me. I got over it.
What’s up with girls in blond braids and glassy eyes? Reminds me of Patty McCormick in “The Bad Seed”.
“I always listen to 16-year-olds on serious matters”
You should. Don’t you remember Jimmy Carter used to discuss nuclear proliferation with his daughter Amy? And she wasn’t even 16 yet! lol
SURPRISE! The Official Escort for 16-Year-Old Global Warming ‘Expert’ Greta Thunberg Is a Leftist Hack Funded by George Soros Org.

“Greta Thunberg had a meltdown while speaking at the United Nations “
Isn’t the U.N. in NY? How did the little whack job get there without expending carbon whatevers? Ship? Plane? Anyone ...? Anyone ...?
Sailboat...................
If the MSM had any integrity, they would call her out on flying to USA to give this speech, instead of just a video conference setup. AND she wouldn’t have had to miss school for it!
She came here on a sailboat................
On medication?
and you are still not mature enough to tell it like it is.
Spoken by a 16 year old who is going through puberty. The world leaders gathered have no maturity, but she does? Give me a break.....................
Too much White Privilege.
They need a poor African girl from Botswana..................
Obviously not enough.
There should be child abuse prosecutions.
Meanwhile, the crazy movie continues its run.
