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.
I do believe there is a seat available for her at the David Hogg self righteous table.
Oh, sorry. But then she must have missed A LOT of school!
Possessed.....................
If her parents give in to anorexic or bulimic behavior, that usually means they are enabling that behavior.
If such parents “don’t want to be the bad guy” by insisting on healthy living, there are family counselors often available, and they can play that role of establishing order.
Some families honestly may not know what to do, with the local equivalence of CPS lurking around any corner, ready to pounce on any strict parent.
I sure hope Little Miss Nazi is planning on a trip to Bejing to lecture the Chinese about this.
I’m glad you mention China, because at the rates of China’s industrial development/pollution, their emissions in China could easily cancel out everything that we could do here in America, to limit emissions.
So even if the Democrats elect a president and take over Congress, and pass draconian global warming laws, it could all be for naught, if China does nothing.
This aspect of things never seems to be discussed.
With her obvious lack of mental stability, I wouldn’t have trusted her to be so close to the train tracks ...
The wiring harness is definitely not connected to the instrument cluster.
The only extinction is the loss of your I.Q.
Why should they ‘parent’? Greta is bringing them fame and fortune.
The young female Swedish version of David Hogg
Too bad Greta will only eat rice and pancakes.
OMG!!!
as a sane parent... one sits the child down and points to everything they hold dear, their iphone, xbox, piano, and explains to them that mommy’s opera pays for all of that and your little life is because mommy thought she could afford to make you happy... so shut yer pie hole and enjoy the little time you have left. don’t worry. be happy.
Only slightly better looking..............If then.............
She reminds me of that brat, Rhoda, from “the Bad Seed”. Same eyes and demeanor..
what hatred and rage in this little girl...
She’s no more ‘autistic’ than you or I.................
OK, so after seeing this, I need coaching.
