'This brave young woman essentially sent a message to the future'
Senior editor of the Atlantic and NPR news analyst Jack Beatty commended Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg for sending a powerful "message to the future" on climate change.
"I think her jaccuse will echo through the years," Beatty told host David Folkenflik.
Folkenflik said the young activist "drove conservatives, Republicans nuts" and that she's making a valid point because she and others her age stand to inherit a world affected by climate change. Beatty agreed and went further in praising her vision.
"This brave young woman essentially sent a message to the future: We care, you should care," Beatty said. "And when she said, you're talking about fairy tales of eternal economic growth'in 2018 a report from 13 federal agencies warned that failure to rein in warming could shave 10 percent off the country's economy in this century."
"In other words, she's right."
Beatty noted that the governments of leading industrial nations did not make any commitments on reducing pollution at the United Nations.
"China, the biggest polluter, made no new commitments at the summit, the U.S. was quiet, other countries said little," Beatty said.
Thunberg grabbed headlines for sailing to New York to plead her case at the United Nations Climate Action Summit. She even drew the attention of President Donald Trump, who said, "She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future."
Thunberg sent the media into a tizzy when she changed her Twitter bio to reflect Trump's sarcastic comment, a move reporters declared an "A-plus troll of the president.
Hey ‘Senior editor of the Atlantic and NPR news analyst Jack Beatty’ - - had she been older she could have flacked for these abominations:

I expect in a few years her cries of "but I'm Greta, you must listen to me" will be echoing down the halls of a mental institution.
Partisan Media Shills update.
Defund NPR.
Defund PBS.
Yeah dude, like I am sure those humans huddling in the ice age we know is coming back, will really thank Greta for destroying all that evil heat productivity.
Yes, I can still hear that “thud” echoing... even now.
I have wondered about the parents of Greta. Do they work for a living? Is Greta their source of income? How can they afford all of this travel unless the payoff is sufficient to keep them all comfortable and possibly set for their future when Greta ages out as the Universal Weather Girl? Extreme exploitation of Greta by her parents and all involved in this hoax.
Some posted this yesterday. Great death metal.
Or at least until a Swedish Musloid "grooming gang" gets hold of her...
“The Veruca Lisa”
Or Meryl Streep and the poor apples. (’Alar’ scare?) and remember there was that situation with Anita Bryant and the ‘orange juice’? but that may have been something to do with the LGB-BLT thing.
