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 we set Greta up to sail back to Europe with David “Camera” Hogg before that torpedo is deployed?
Perfect for the rachel corrie pancake effect.
The movement wins either way

Yeeeaaahh! I’m not gonna listen to a foreign snot nosed climate borg anymore than I listen to our American climate change borgs. They’re all lying all the time.
Btw....there’s bumper stickers showing up in Germany that say F Greta. THAT says lots!!
Notice to lefties: nobody give a Baltimore rats arse about a kid crying about “climate change”. Quit using the kids to push your communist ideals. We’re woke, educated and extremely pissed. You’re lies don’t work anymore.
Who is financing this? That’s more important than the other stuff.
This is not being done under her own initiative.
Y’all might take a gander at the specs for the Malizia II. Probably took a full nuke plant to produce the carbon fiber in her.
The girl is going to be muy sea sick.

Butt, butt, butt no fossils were used to produce the bits and pieces right? And no contaminants were produced making the solar panels. Suppose there’s a motor or generator back up? Or will they rely on the gaggle of lame stream boats tagging along. One doesn’t usually see hurricanes in a positive light.........
“The ship she plans to hop on is the Malizia II, a four-year-old racing sailboat pimped out with solar panels and underwater turbines to power the ship “
uh, NOT carbon-free: it took LOTS of carbon based materials and energy to make this contraption. Figure the number of people-miles/hour this thing is capable of and divide that into total cost and then compare that to the same metric for planes, trains, automobiles, or ships.
Why doesn’t she row across the Atlantic in a wooden boat like the Vikings did?
Someone needs to tell these Euroweenies that the days of colonialism are over. Go home !
Simply count the ‘carbon footprint’ to see what a farce it is.
Leftists are liars and hypocrites ALWAYS.
Where’s a Uboat when you need one?
“Why doesn’t she row across the Atlantic in a wooden boat like the Vikings did?”
because wood is made from carbon?
Sharks gotta eat.... bon appetite...
Something like the Kon-Tiki would leave a minimum carbon footprint...if he only had the balls.... (Could make a song from that...)
