14 days of burning time and the world didn't miss you. I work in agriculture and haven't taken off more than two days in a row this year. I'm working hard to feed America. You are sitting on your @ss for two weeks and now are going to lecture us. You are young so I will not express my true feelings.

“The boat has no shower or toilets, ‘

Are they composting or recycling into food?

Zero-emission yacht, that’s rich. Let me guess, it runs on rainbows and love. Here’s another millenial that is going to find out how much the rank-and-file give a crap about what they think. I’d rather wake up at 4 AM and watch Dobie Gillis.

She’s from Sweden but departed from Plymouth, England. Curious, how did she get to Plymouth from Sweden... she flew!

So is there something wrong with her and is that why they love her so much? Because in general anyone who takes what a retarded looking 16 year old girl says seriously is an idiot.

a zero-carbon emissions vessel

"Zero-carbon". I assume this means whoever sailed this kid across the Atlantic on this yacht bought some carbon credits - the modern-day enviro-cultist equivalent of a papal indulgence. Of course the yacht spewed forth more emissions than our cars will put out in a year as we slog to work and back home every day, but this ignorant, manipulated child can feel good about herself as she lectures us.

All emissions will come from flying 2 crews for the Yacht back and forth the Atlantic , She said she’s not telling people what to do so watch her tell people what to do the whole time she’s here

If she exhaled, belched or broke windat any time during the journey then its not a zero emissions craft.

She is autistic and has ADHD. I think it is very sad the way they are exploiting her. She admits that her obsession with climate change is part of her condition.

No emissions are made by production of fiberglass or epoxy.
Obama used to fly around the country then board his bus for the local rally.
