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.

Oh, no, please find Greta a ride home.

We don’t want to keep her.

She sure is an ugly little snot and is sure to get worse as she ages. Her parents ought to be strung up for child abuse.

Her ancestors about a thousand years back had some pretty clean transportation.

I’d like to kick her skinny, precocious, mentally-dysfunctional little ass all the back across the Atlantic in deep-sea diving boots.

We don’t want to see her go. Please someone, get her an intern job with AOC. She would be the gift that keeps on giving.
