Teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg plans to take her message to the United States - but instead of flying, she's going to set sail across the Atlantic after shunning planes.
The Swedish teenager, who inspired tens of thousands of school students across the world to skip class for a day to protest for faster action against climate change, said she spent months trying to figure out how to travel to the US without flying on a plane. She said she has ruled out using them due to their high greenhouse gas emissions.
The 16-year-old tweeted that she plans to leave Britain in August aboard the Malizia II to attend the United Nations climate summits in New York in September and Santiago, Chile, in December.

Can’t her parents control her?
Perhaps we can have a fire mission for a Los Angeles or virginia-class hunter killer...
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.
And she's now headline news? Give me a break!
Is she going to fish for food or take processed foods with her?
She’d better watch out for the hurricanes. They’ll be watching her.
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.
Their first climate martyr. Saint Greta Thunberg.
She'll come out the other side wanting to nuke mother nature.;-)
Now, that’s flat funny.
You are BAD too my FRiend. LoL.
Maybe she will follow in the footsteps of Samantha Smith.
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.
