On Tuesday, CBS This Morning was in awe of radical climate change activist Greta Thunberg, hailing the 16-year-old from Sweden as the voice of the planet and touting her plan to sail across the Atlantic to attend a United Nations climate summit in New York. The report particularly applauded Thunberg for scolding the United States and President Trump for not doing enough to stop global warming.
A teenager from Sweden called the voice of the planet is ready to cross the Atlantic on a mission to fight climate change....Shell be sailing from Europe to New York to call on world leaders to protect the environment, co-host Anthony Mason proclaimed as he introduced the segment early in the 8:00 a.m. ET hour. The headline on screen echoed: The Voice of the Planet; 16-Year-Old Climate Activist Sailing From Europe to New York.
Reporting from Stockholm, correspondent Roxana Saberi fawned: Greta Thunberg doesnt like all this attention....But the 16-year-old travels from stage...to stage...with a warning were running out of time to tackle climate change. After promoting other children skipping school to join Thunbergs climate protests, the reporter gushed: All of these people are here to see Greta, a sign of just how much her message is resonating here in Sweden and across Europe.
Saberi then celebrated the teenagers next move:
Now shes taking her message to the other side of the Atlantic. Shes setting sail on a solar-powered boat, bringing a message to a U.N. summit in New York. The journey could take two weeks, but Greta says she doesnt fly because of the environmental impact of air travel.

The phrase originated with Francois Guisot (1787-1874): "Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head." It was revived by French Premier Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929): "Not to be a socialist at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head."
OK kids, if you just clap your hands loud enough and believe Tinkerbell will come back. You just gotta BELIEVE!!!
Thats what passes for intelligence these days.
She is “the voice of the planet” AND Satan is “the god of this world”. Hmmmmmmm
"her boat...the one she built herself from wood from replenished forests, cut and shaped with hand tools, with her own stitched cotton sails (cotton imported from Alabama and picked politically correctly) and spun rope made from her own organically grown hemp?"
I built a similar organic vessel in my back yard over the summer.
It's doable.
Ought to fix her up with David Hogg, but I not sure he bats on that side of the plate.
The media loves people who parrot their talking points.
Keep dreamin’ bagster. LOL! Sort of like I’m the invisible Eric Clapton? :-)
And ‘pph’ opens some “clinics” in India.
There are no carbon emissions. There are CO2 emissions.
“For an introverted young lady, shes speaking with a very loud voice” So introverts speak softly?
“underwater turbines to generate electricity” obviously not powered by the solar panels. So it doesn’t get all its power from the sun. It is wind powered, with solar panels.
Who is sailing with her? Who remains awake while she is sleeping so the boat doesn’t sink? How many gas-powered boats are going to trail her? Don’t they emit CO2? Who paid for the boat and the supplies? What other source of power than solar does the boat have?
Some answers here, which of course will not be in most news stories.

The article is deliberately written so we are supposed to think that she’s going alone. NO. She’s with Pierre Casiraghi and Boris Herrmann on their yacht, and her father.
Oh I thought she built the her Yacht from recycled Straws
Bada bing
Maybe after the next 11.75 years of saving the planet...
Let her swim. If she really cares she would.
Are they planning of scooping straws up during their journey?
The Voice of the Planet
Al Gore will sue!
The planet is burning. She ought to be screaming by now.
Well at least her feet from the earth’s core which, manbearpig reminded us, is millions of degrees. Uh, WUT?
Geez, not that babbling idiot again.
Come on. You gotta be more specific since there is a plethora of babbling/prattling fidiots to choose from. :-)
Because teenagers with virtually no life experience are ALWAYS the most wise among us. /triple dog sarcasm
Well, like fur sure donchaknow. OMG.
