After her American tour, how is Greta Thunberg getting home?
National Post ^ | Oct. 18, 2019 | Jacob Dubé

The 60-foot yacht she chartered to get her from England to New York has returned to Europe, and Thunberg says she does not know how she will be returning to Sweden.

Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist, has been making waves the world over with powerful speeches and appearances in climate strikes.

Since late August, she’s been on a tour of North America, attending rallies, meeting with world leaders, and speaking at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York City. She’s set to march in a climate strike in Edmonton on Friday, Oct. 18.

Thunberg has said she received many requests to speak at events internationally, but declined due to the extensive travel it would require. But she decided to make an exception to attend the UN climate summit as well as a major UN climate change conference in Santiago, Chile, where her trip is scheduled to end.

Her trip to North America is well-documented — she sailed for 15 days from England to New York on a carbon-neutral racing yacht to avoid the huge impact air travel has on carbon emissions.

But now that she’s finally here, some have begun to wonder: how is she getting back home to Sweden?

Before she left England in August, she said “I don’t know yet how I will get home,” according to the Daily Mail.

For starters, the boat she took to get to New York, the Malizia II, has returned to Europe. Despite trying to avoid carbon emissions, her organization has seen some criticism because the crew returned by plane — her team said the emissions were offset.

Well, if she truly believes the nonsense she spouts it could be one of the following 3 options...1) swim, 2) row boat, 3) sailboat.

She could overstay her visa and be a spokesperson for "immigrants". /sarcasm
(how did she get her visa approved?)

On her broomstick. It’s almost Halloween.

You got there first. Two smart people on FR.

I can add that her proud sponsors Hillary and Elizabeth Warren did the broom driver's training work before her first solo. Tears in their eyes for her. Seems like only yesterday they had to start her drone propeller training wings each time in the driveway.

I hear from different sources that many youth climate activists travelling to the UN Youth Climate Summit have not been given US visas in time for their travel.

She should borrow a surfboard and ride some of the waves she is making.

They never really made that claim, but they wanted people to believe she did

Maybe that's why she came by boat.
She didn't have a visa and had to sneak in.

Thunberg says she does not know how she will be returning to Sweden.

Maybe she could book a 1st class ticket on the Titanic. 😁

Precisely, she needs to go and parade in Beijing, home of the real unbridled polluters.
