Greta Thunberg's speech to UN strangely resembles a 1992 speech by 12-year-old Severn Cullis-Suzuki
American Thinker ^ | 09/29/2019 | Thomas Lifson

Well, at least the climate hysterics are practicing recycling.  Or repeating a pattern of child abuse, exploiting young minds and souls for their political benefit, if you will.  Or maybe it is just a matter of running out of ideas and realizing that since they are peddling fear, nobody could better instill alarm than a threatened, vulnerable child.

Whatever the motives, it is clear that Miss Thunberg's publicity stunt ocean voyage (on a royal yacht) and appearance at the U.N. was following a script written more than a quarter-century ago.  And it is no secret.  This 1992 video of then-12-year-old Severn Cullis-Suzuki addressing the U.N. Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, titled "The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes," has had almost 32 million views on YouTube:

If you don't have five spare minutes to subject yourself to a harangue from a puppet for cynical activists, then this three-minute video comparison of Cullis-Suzuki's and Thunberg's performances is your ticket:

One of the guys down the street from me had a Suzuki in the early 1970’s. 100 or 125 I think.

Great sound.

Oh, SEVERN - I thought maybe it was George Costanza’s kid.

They sell something on late-night TV that could help Soros with that skin.

I think it basically makes you skin swell to make wrinkles disappear. What could possibly go wrong with that?

So Severn's speech was 27 years ago. How many years did she think we had until the total collapse of the ecological system? Did she think we would make it to the year 2000?

She's now 39. Maybe coming to the end of her natural fertility, if she didn't sterilize herself. I hope she stopped panicking, got married, had kids, and had a normal life free of regular injections of ginned-up eco-taboos, obsessions, and phobias.

I know it's a real anxiety for them. How cruel it is for the Master Class to try to impose this on everybody.

I saw this in the Wikipedia article:

In her speech from 27 years ago, she said: “I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the hole in our ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don’t know what chemicals are in it."

I'm glad she got over it enough to marry and have two kids. That's a step in the right direction.

I do not agree with the whole tenor of her radical environmentalism, but I am actually glad she's still alive. At least she didn't cut off her breasts and genitals, or hold her breath and turn blue.

I am very willing to share earth's delightful and life-giving atmosphere with Japanese-Canadians.

Awwwww. She’s just a kid. I saw something on Mrs rktman’s FB page of her ‘splaining how she pens all her own diatribe and how we are like ogres or something for doubting etc. Uh hello! You sailed to the US on a boat made of CARBON FIBER. Hello! Is this thing on?

I think Suzuki’s original performance was better than Thunberg’s recent performance of the same play.

Shirley Temple was a better actress than either of them though, plus she could tap dance too.

“Greta Thunberg’s speech to UN strangely resembles a 1992 speech by 12-year-old Severn Cullis-Suzuki”

not surprising: Greta Thunberg is a professional actress and must someone else write her lines;
