Can’t her parents control her?

[hoagy62]

Perhaps we can have a fire mission for a Los Angeles or virginia-class hunter killer...

[rktman]

No doubt made from all natural materials right? No? WTH? 🏊🐎💩🚤

[Pearls Before Swine]

Can’t her parents control her?

Maybe they're proud of her. Maybe the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. Perhaps they view her activities as therapeutic. Certainly, her intense virtue signalling--she's a virual virtue beacon--will be a positive factor for her college admission.

Who knows?

“Is that the start of the hurricane season?”

No. It’s the peak of Hurricane season in the Atlantic. No competent sailor would set out to cross the Atlantic in Aug/Sep.

[Hot Tabasco]

After actually reading the article, it appears that she's merely the pet hamster being taken along for the ride...........

And she's now headline news? Give me a break!

[A Navy Vet]

"I guess that means no paper products on the boat? No TP, paper towels, nothing made of wood. Don’t want to kill a tree."

Is she going to fish for food or take processed foods with her?

[KosmicKitty]

She’d better watch out for the hurricanes. They’ll be watching her.

[Da Coyote]

So...
1: She’s going to show how to change climate doing this? No
2: She’s going to demonstrate her concern for the climate by doing this? No
3: Constructing and sailing her craft, allowing for all the support (especially by the energy wasting journalists) will cause us to generate less CO2 than would have been generated had she just had a few beers with someone stupid enough to waste? No.

So what exactly, will this little third grade stunt actually do? Get her name in the paper and help her pretend that she could actually knows anything at all about real climate physics? Heck YES.

Oh well,she’ll be believed by all those eddikashun majors currently pretending to impart nol-edge to our chilluns.

Try to imagine the amount of carbon fuels burned and the lives at risk if her craft has a mishap along the way or if it loses radio communication. Why not tele conference and dispense her wisdom and rant on a big screen like the Leader in 1984. Sure the people at the UN will give her rapt attention.

The inside of the ship looks like a high tech marvel:

[rktman]

I get the reference. You are SO bad! 😂 Perhaps with Rachael corey pancake breakfast at the end of the 🍮trip?

[yesthatjallen]

No. It’s the peak of Hurricane season in the Atlantic. No competent sailor would set out to cross the Atlantic in Aug/Sep.

Their first climate martyr. Saint Greta Thunberg.

[RoosterRedux]

It doesn't matter the size of the yacht or the support craft in attendance, this little self-righteous know-it-all will get sick as a dog when the seas get rough.

She'll come out the other side wanting to nuke mother nature.;-)

[sparklite2]

Now, that’s flat funny.

[Magnum44]

You are BAD too my FRiend. LoL.

[Cowboy Bob]

Maybe she will follow in the footsteps of Samantha Smith.

I wonder how much this inflatable cost? Daddy's money?

The cost for construction of a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade costs $200,000.

Greta is being used as a major marketing tool for the Climate Change Industry.
