Climate strike but no cake for Greta Thunberg as she turns 17
TheJakartaPost ^ | 1/5/20 | COLM FULTON

“I’m not the kind of person who celebrates birthdays,” Greta Thunberg said as she turned 17 on Friday, marking the occasion in inimitable style - with a seven-hour hour protest outside the Swedish parliament.

The climate activist braved winter conditions in her native Stockholm to continue the weekly Friday School Strike for the Climate campaign that helped catapult her to international fame.

“I stand here striking from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. as usual ... then I’ll go home,” Thunberg, Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2019, told Reuters.

“I won’t have a birthday cake but we’ll have a dinner.”

It’s been a busy 12 months for Thunberg, who crisscrossed the globe by car, train and boat - but not plane - to demand action on climate change.

“It has been a strange and busy year, but also a great one because I have found something I want to do with my life and what I am doing is having an impact,” she said.

I feel bad for this little girl, whose parents have robbed her of her childhood and probably the chance at a happy life. And all the wretched politicians and media whores who aided and abetted them.

What is this kid and her parents’ net worth since she left school? Heard it is around $49m. I might have to jump on the global warming hoax, make a couple million $, then I’m making the dash.

this poor girl is 17 and dresses like a 6 year old.

someone needs to photoshop her with makeup and a decent haircut. Anyone out there in Freeperland to do this? It could make a great meme.

It appears that someone already photoshopped the hat and scarf and down parka’s on her. Who wears that while protesting global warming?

I’m assuming those are her parents.
Dad looks disgusted, mom has a faintly haunted look and the little princess is still preening for the camera.
Can’t wait until this twunk git is yesterdays news.

[[“I’m not the kind of person who celebrates birthdays,” Greta Thunberg said]]

Well gee- aint you just soooo unique- oh wait- nope you aint! Greta- you’ll discover at some point, there is nothing new under the sun- You don’t stand out- not celebrating birthdays doesn’t make you special- all it says is ‘look at me, look at me, I need attention’

True.

OTOH, she’s the perfect idiot speaker for the New World Order goons at the United Nations.
