'How dare you': Greta Thunberg tears into world leaders over inaction at U.N. climate summit
Yahoo News ^ | 23 Sep 2019 | Daniel Stableford

In an angry and emotional speech at the United Nations climate summit on Monday, Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg tore into world leaders for failing to act.

"This is all wrong," Thunberg said, reading from a piece of paper. "I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean, yet you come to us young people for hope. How dare you."

"People are suffering," the 16-year-old continued through tears. "People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are at the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you."

"How dare you continue to look away and come here saying you are doing enough," Thunberg added. "You say you hear us and 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."

She’s 16. She deserves some hormones and some other interests.

The only “extinction” that would occur is the “extinction” of so-called “climate deniers”. The eco-freaks would kill us if they could.

If her Minder told her to start turning on the faucet and have a good cry, that may be a sign of desperation.
Perhaps it is dawning on some of her backers, that Eco-extremists are not being taken seriously.

Greta Thunberg is a victim of political pedophilia.

Why does the UN invite a mentally deranged 16 year-old girl to speak there?

It's a favourite tactic of the left... always push somebody forward who is essentially untouchable in terms of someone who could be debated. They do it over and over and over...

The brain in this person is not right. We should not be subjected to her rantings. Go home, Greta. Shoo!

“Sixteen? She does look more like eleven or twelve.”

Yes. First time I saw her a few months ago or whenever I thought she was 12-13 at the most. I also thought it looked like she had a Downs-syndrome type genetic issue. Not as extreme as DS, but something along those lines.

Starvation and malnutrition can do this. And indeed, her bio describes she has gone though it.

Anorexic girls do not go through puberty correctly due to the malnutrition or they will lose their menses if they have hit puberty. And indeed, her bio describes this.

She should have eaten more meat.

And they'll think nothing of "martyring" her if it's good for the cause.

No,study her background and you find it's autism that stole her dreams. I have a niece and a nephew with "high functioning" autism. They're both in their 30s. Smart as can be...both have been extensively studied at Harvard Medical School.

Smart...but *utterly* unaware of what the world is about.You could even say "the lights are on but nobody's home".

Autism is a genetic disorder. It's a *crippling* disorder.

And autism renders this girls words...her ideas...utterly worthless.
