Greta Thunberg mocks Biden's 'Build Back Better' climate plan

Speaking at a climate rally in Berlin on Friday, Greta Thunberg mocked President Biden’s attempt to address climate change through his “Build Back Better” agenda.

“As we move out of the pandemic, many are talking about using this as an opportunity for a green sustainable recovery, whatever that means,” the 18-year-old Swedish activist said. “And world leaders are talking about ‘building back better,’ promising green investments and setting vague and distant climate targets in order to say that they are taking climate action.”

In his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, Biden announced that the United States would double its financial contributions to help developing nations combat and adapt to climate change.

In his speech, Biden touted his “Build Back Better” agenda, which includes an array of domestic initiatives designed to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and said it could be expanded to include “sustainable investment in projects” abroad.

“That’s the idea behind the Build Back Better World,” Biden said.

Thunberg was unmoved.

“The fact that we are in a crisis that we cannot build, buy or invest or way out of seems to create some kind of collective mental short-circuit among the people in power,” Thunberg said. “And the longer they pretend that we can solve the climate crisis within today’s system, the more invaluable time we will lose.”

Wow, Biden gets the Dr Greta thumbs down. He really is on a losing streak.

The liberal media created her, and continues to feed her all the free publicity an activist could dream of.

I predict she’ll be the unfortunate victim of a missile accidentally deployed from a drone at the time and location of Biden’s choice.

Maybe we can finally get these frauds to agree on when “the point of no return” is so that we can run out the clock until then and put this imaginary issue to bed.

I actually feel sorry for her… this is a very troubled girl who suffers from psychotic phobias and needs long, extensive psychotherapy. But instead of getting the help their daughter desperately needs, her “parents” decided to leverage her psychosis for $$$$. Shame on them… sadly, someday we’re going to read about her suicide.

She is messed up for sure. Her views on “abortion” go even further than abortion but into “nine your effing business” antisocial behavior. Everything is fundamentally socially negativist with her, and ,yes psychotic in that she uses morality she cares not about to make her point, and psychopathic because she seems to clearly enjoy torturing people with moralizing them.

Truly the modern day poster child of heinousness.
