Greta Thunberg in Iowa City: U.N. Climate Action Summit a Failure

Greta Thunberg joined a large crowd of young people skipping school in Iowa City, Iowa for a climate change protest on Friday, where she declared the recent United Nation’s action summit on climate change a flop.

The summit, which ran in conjunction with the U.N.’s annual General Assembly meeting, featured Thunberg and other youth speakers.

“We told world leaders to act on the science,” Thunberg, 16, said at the protest inspired by the Fridays for Future school walkout she started a little over a year ago in her homeland Sweden. “And we demanded a safe future for us and for everyone.”

LOL! GIANT turdburg fail. 'HOW DARE SHE' call the u.n. summit a failure after all they've done for her. So, hates carbon, sails to the U.S. on a boat made from CARBON fiber. Which we all know is a natural occurring material. Did she walk to Iowa City? Hypocrisy is writ large with this gaggle of envirowankers.

She needs to ask herself why things like that are a failure. Could it be people don’t buy into her or AOC’s ravings?

Yo, Greta. Two things. A) 12,000 years ago, Sweden was under a slab of ice a mile thick. If it wasn’t for Climate Change, you wouldn’t even exist. B) Your fellow 16 girlfriends in Sweden are being raped by “immigrants” on a daily basis. You may want to say a word or two about that.

I’m thinking she knows next to nothing about actual science. She’s much better at looking bitter and angry and calling it science.

Is Greta in our country legally?

Does she have a work visa?

It should be obvious to everyone, that Greta’s purpose is to destabilize the United States.

Why is she allowed to be here?

Why has she not been detained and deported?

While Greta was delivering her screed at The UN the other day, her fellow 16 year olds were being anally raped by UN delegates and peacekeepers around the world. No doubt some of them while watching her on TV.

Well over a million were given permission to take off from school in nyc but the crowd size was estimated at 300k. Including non students, so where were the other 2/3rds?

It was a failure?

Good. Maybe they won’t screw things up then.

Dare we say that no matter what part of the world they reside in, or their age, the left all have that crazed look. This young woman is being used as a propaganda tool by the environmental kooks and the globalists! Did an electric plane take her to Iowa City from Sweden?

She told the crowd that giving up on their fight “is simply not an option” and chided world leaders for “acting like children.”

“Someone needs to be the adult in the room,” Thunberg said.


I know that irony is lost on her, and her acolytes. But there you have it.

This is all being funded by sources inside the DNC.
No one in the EU could even find Iowa on the map let alone Iowa City.

You’d be right. They had a press conference and when I heard about it I thought, “That poor girl. She’s a mouthpiece. She reads a script. She can’t answer questions you bozos.”

And I was right. She punted on the most fundamental question and that was pretty much it.
