Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist who said that meeting Donald Trump during her upcoming visit to America would be a “waste,” is not quite as pure as she thinks.
Much has been made of the fact that Thunberg will be traveling to the U.S. via a “zero-carbon” high-tech racing yacht instead of flying. The teen, who has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize(!), is heading to New York for a U.N. summit on the climate.
When asked if she would meet with the president, she answered, “Why should I waste time talking to him when he, of course, is not going to listen to me?” Apart from the fact no invitation to a meeting with the White House was tendered, she sounds like the sort of smug teen whose face the Left would like to slap.
As for her vaunted boat trip, it, too, has been sullied by the revelation that, once the ship reaches port, two crew members will need to be flown across the Atlantic to bring the boat back. According to Firstpost:

A spokeswoman for Team Malizia said it’ll be necessary to fly the crew to the U.S. because the high-profile trip with the 16-year-old Swedish campaigner that left Plymouth on Wednesday was arranged at very short notice.
Holly Cova [the team’s manager] told The Associated Press by email Friday that “we only have one boat, so they cannot easily sail over to meet them.”
Kinda takes the starch out of Thunberg’s sails, no?
Cova said the team recognises it’s “an imperfect solution” but believes offsetting the emissions by funding carbon-reducing projects elsewhere “is better than doing nothing.”

They don’t grow composite overwrap? WTH?
Oh, I dunno - maybe because you would be babbling about rainbows and unicorn farts? ...and therefore would be a waste of his time...?
Yep, it would be fun to perform a study of the embodied energy in that boat. All the heat required to cast aluminum parts, energy required to dig raw materials out of the earth, transform them, transport them to an assembly site, etc.
And don't forget about the boat's death! How long does it take all these high-tech composite materials to return to their "natural" state? (Hint - Mankind doesn't yet know how long a fiberglass hull lasts.)
...once the ship reaches port, two crew members will need to be flown across the Atlantic to bring the boat back.
Hopefully it won't be necessary after the Perfect Wave hits it. Thanks E. Pluribus Unum.
Logical solution........boat remains in US until the twit’s visit is complete and they all sail back home together........DUH
16? One of Epstein’s former employees?
Too old.
ROFLMAOPIMP !!!
PING
Samantha met her end in a plane crash at Lewiston-Auburn Airport. At least we know this gal would never ever use air transportation. Even to get back home.
You can stop rading right there!!!!
3/4ths of the earth is made up of water. Of the land masses on the planet vast tracts are non or sparsely habited. Factor in approximately 60 miles of atmospheric effective range around the whole globe plus solar activity and cyclical global wind patterns. Does puny mankind’s industrial activity have an effect on global weather? Highly doubtful. Perhaps regional like city air pollution and higher heat temperatures due to concrete coverages.
Otherwise global warming from man made causes is leftist tripe.
Have any of these so-called "journalists" asked this stupid little puppet about that? Curious to know whose hand is rammed up her ass, to make her talk.
Just saying...
rading = reading
Soph, aka Greta kryptonite (and others like her).

Potty mouth? Yep.
But her arguments are dead center bullseyes.

Anyone remember?
The 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull were volcanic events at Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland which, although relatively small for volcanic eruptions, caused enormous disruption to air travel across western and northern Europe over an initial period of six days in April 2010. Additional localised disruption continued into May 2010. The eruption was declared officially over in October 2010, when snow on the glacier did not melt. From 14–20 April, ash from the volcanic eruption covered large areas of Northern Europe. About 20 countries closed their airspace to commercial jet traffic and it affected approximately 10 million travellers.[1]
Ask leftards to name a man made event like this other than a nuke.
Good luck there teenager
( I have one of my own and she’s a real doozy. ). Love her dearly tho
Teenagers are among the stupidest and most foolish of all creatures
She actually “thinks” ? This has got to be good!
