Fresh from her transatlantic sailboat crossing, teen climate activist Greta Thunberg was joined by hundreds of American teenagers on Friday at a protest outside the United Nations headquarters in New York City.
They carried hand-drawn placards with messages such as "United behind the science" and "Act now or we will." And they chanted "System change, not climate change” and "Don't just watch us, join us," the Guardian of London reported.
While boasting of a carbon-free trans-Atlantic trip, it turns out her sailing team will fly back to Europe and another team will fly to the U.S. to take the boat back across the Atlantic. Reacting to criticism, Thunberg's team insisted the flights would be "offset" with carbon credits.

Her country’s invaders are laughing.
Give it a rest "little girl."
We've been hearing this crap for several decades now.
Wait...do you mean that this was all a particularly stupid PR stunt? You should see my shocked face right now.
I wonder if there will one day be rage in the streets when they finally realize they have been lied to for decades
LOL!
RuhRoh! Somebody will be in trouble for bullying.
Ragnar would not be pleased. :-)
I don’t believe it has a Diesel engine.
Dope.
Act now or we will? Sounds like a threat to me: Do as we demand or we will force you to do so.
You and what army, moron?
Malizia say that building this type of racing boat needs three tonnes of carbon fibre, moulds for hull and deck, a number of construction materials and various resins.

That's definitely a better description of what they want.
None of which are environmentally hazardous right? Or any components made with the aid of “fossil” fuels. Such lying POS assclowns. Good for them but not for you. Nice attitude, but typical.
carbon credits = drinking a Diet Coke with your extra large pizza
Yes, it would be interesting to see who is fronting this teenager. I guess it is probably best to “follow the money”.
My son is in the 10th grade and every day when he comes home I have to deprogram him of all the bull crap that he gets in our Euro world.
I do a lot of parent volunteer work at his school and most of the other parents (and certainly the kids) are flabergasted when we hit the subject of global warming / cooling / climate change, etc. when I tell them it is a huge scam. They look at me like I have two green heads and have horns!
After they begin to spout the ‘settled science’I ask them to tell me what is the largest of the greenhouse gases. Of course this is ‘water vapor’ (about 95%). I then mention that CO2 is less than 1% and most of that comes from natural sources. The conversation ends but I can see their mind full of mush is locked in a loop as “this does not compute”.
Like so many in the US they just get their facts from the nightly news (very biased) and never take the time to become informed by doing any real research.
What is really sad is that many vote and they are reproducing.
Many do, but nobody will ever put them on television. The broadcast soapbox is reserved for leftists.
Her parents should be arrested for letting her take the trip ,Oh wait they want the Nobel Prize
Assemble a group of the Kids and put them on Live TV and let them tell the World about Global Warming and how they plan to fix it but make sure Adults(the ones behind them) stay away . Maybe some of them will realize how crazy they sound
