Greta Thunberg To U.S.: 'You Have A Moral Responsibility' On Climate Change
NPR ^ | Sept. 13, 2019 | Bill Chappell

Posted on 09/13/2019 1:38:34 PM PDT by Innovative

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, 16, attends a protest outside the White House on Friday. She launched the Friday school strikes last year. Since then, her notoriety has steadily grown as she speaks in clear and powerful terms about why people — particularly young people — must pay attention to our climate.

Greta Thunberg led a protest at the White House Friday. But she wasn't looking to go inside: "I don't want to meet with people who don't accept the science," she says. The young Swedish activist joined a large crowd of protesters outside the White House Friday morning, calling for immediate action to help the environment and reverse an alarming warming trend in average global temperatures.

Her message for President Trump is the same thing she tells other politicians, Thunberg says: listen to science and take responsibility.

She has a moral authority to get back into the kitchen and make me some pie.

She’s a child. Children don’t know the difference between leftist science, and correct science.

I was 16 once, during the Bicentennial. I didn’t know jack squat.

How can these people who care about the climate want ANY immigration into the US? Folks should go to countries which are less wasteful and use less resources.

Hello Greta, nice that you could visit.

Like to travel?

Well, how about take your 16 year old butt to the Amazon rain forest and tell the natives there to stop starting forest fires.

They started 21,000 fires in 3 days......

Don Corleone said it best, “I have a sentimental weakness for my children and I spoil them, as you can see. They talk when they should listen.”

The US gets an earful from a teenager.. isn’t that adorable. If David Hogg liked girls, he and Greta could probably hit it off as the nexgen social justice warrior royalty.

Gee Greta, I always take my moral instruction from a 16-year-old twit who doesn’t even live in this country.

From: The United States of America

Subject: The only country in the world that actually has reduced its output of industrially generated CO2.

Answer: US. We have reduced the amount of CO2, by switching many electric power plants to natural gas from coal. This is a result of fracking, and has saved money in addition. This may not be the answer you were looking for, but clearly, you have never been able to recognize the truth.

Fortunately for me, I don’t accept lectures on morality from brainwashed teenage girls.
