Can we set Greta up to sail back to Europe with David “Camera” Hogg before that torpedo is deployed?

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.

Ever wonder why these global warming warriors do stunts instead of holding an open, public debate on what they believe? Mean neither.

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.

When I was a teen, there hardly a cause on the face of the planet for which I would have refused to skip a day of class.

I'll never forget the day news came out of Three Mile Island. I was skipping some class, walking out the back of the school, and one of the freaks at the school came running from the other direction, yelling, "Did you hear? Did you hear? The nuke plant melted down, maaan!"

He was beyond excited about the news, which amused me at the time, and which I now realize is the psychosis of the leftist: emotional highs from bad news or its prognosis. They're demented, but, ultimately, they're just looking for another high.

Reading your post reminded me of this because the other element to this encounter was that the kid had been skipping school the entire day, when I was just escaping one period, lol.

Why doesn’t she row across the Atlantic in a wooden boat like the Vikings did?

Simply count the ‘carbon footprint’ to see what a farce it is.

Leftists are liars and hypocrites ALWAYS.

because wood is made from carbon?

Something like the Kon-Tiki would leave a minimum carbon footprint...if he only had the balls.... (Could make a song from that...)
