'How dare you': Greta Thunberg tears into world leaders over inaction at U.N. climate summit
Yahoo News ^ | 23 Sep 2019 | Daniel Stableford

Posted on 09/23/2019 2:33:43 PM PDT by Rummyfan

In an angry and emotional speech at the United Nations climate summit on Monday, Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg tore into world leaders for failing to act.

"This is all wrong," Thunberg said, reading from a piece of paper. "I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean, yet you come to us young people for hope. How dare you."

"People are suffering," the 16-year-old continued through tears. "People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are at the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you."

"How dare you continue to look away and come here saying you are doing enough," Thunberg added. "You say you hear us and understand the urgency, but no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that. Because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil. And that I refuse to believe."

She is mentally unstable. She needs medical treatment, starting with putting her in a nice padded room.

I learned that crying doesn’t get me anything by the time I was 6.

Ein volk! Ein reich! Ein piece of TP!!!

:P

On the other hand, I think that if President Trump were really as full of 4D chess as people think he is, he should hire little Greta and send her around the world as a goodwill climate envoy. Starting with China, India, North Korea, and … you get the idea.

Maybe she might learn something.

Greta is eleven years old and has gone two months without eating. Her heart rate and blood pressure show clear signs of starvation. She has stopped speaking to anyone but her parents and younger sister, Beata.

After years of depression, eating disorders, and anxiety attacks, she finally receives a medical diagnosis: Asperger’s syndrome, high-functioning autism, and OCD. She also suffers from selective mutism—which explains why she sometimes can’t speak to anyone outside her closest family. When she wants to tell a climate researcher that she plans a school strike on behalf of the environment, she speaks through her father.

And this is who they have chosen as a spokesman?!

Yeah, just looking at her you sense there is something wrong with her.

Why does the UN invite a mentally deranged 16 year-old girl to speak there?

She fits right in with the other feminine, adolescent, mentally deranged UN delegates.

The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)

Liberals are weaponizing mentally ill and retarded children for politics.

Greta is per her mother’s own book: Autistic/Aspbergers, severe anxiety and OCD. Given that her non-famous sister has severe anxiety and autism spectrum, it is genetics - not liberal politics - that leave her mentally ill.

The other terrible example is the Down’s Syndrome drag show.
