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.”

Thunberg told the crowd that if adults didn’t do something to end climate change, young people would.

“Change is coming whether they like it or not,” Thunberg said.

She right. Parents of these idiots should do something. Start with no video games, TV or cell phones,or anything that uses electricity. Candle lit home work. No AC. Going on a date? Take your bicycles! Can’t use a microwave or oven, and BBQ is out. Dig a hole and start a Dakota fire and cook it!

If I was a parent of a little idiot that skipped school, I would shove Greta so far down their throats that they would choke on her. No hypocraps in my house! Want to save the planet? Starts with you! Welcome to The Little House on the Prarie!

Thanks.

The climate has always changed and always will, controlled by forces man only partially understands and cannot control, and which has been doing so for millions of years.

Amen to that. I hate when they ride my ass when I’m in the fast lane. Can’t they see my brakes are on?

Make her row. That “Sailboat” was a “power” boat, had a crew and she didn’t know a damn thing about it. Free advertisement for the boat maker.

Hey kid! The level of industrialized civilization that we have is due to petroleum products. If you don’t like it, then go to an uncivilized country.

How did Greta get to Iowa except by carbon belching planes or automobiles?

I have a niece and a nephew with the very same crippling brain disorder as this European child. Intelligent...but utterly clueless when it comes to what this complex world of ours is *really* about.

If she was less intelligent her cluelessness wouldn't be as dangerous.

What does a 16 year old halftard know about the “science”? She so much as taken algebra? Calculus? Diff Eq? Finite element analysis? Chemistry? Physics? Thermodynamics? Fluid Mechanics? Advanced Modeling and computer programming?

Maybe she slept in a Holiday Inn Express?

The whole climate racket is an attempt by Communist China and India to become the world’s superpowers. The two most polluted and polluting shitholes and they are exempt from any climate change accord?

Exactly. It is sad that this girl is being used, even by her so called parents, and she doesn’t have a clue. Since all these people have been saying we only have 11.5 years left, I have wondered why banks are still loaning people money for 30 year mortgages, why insurance companies are still covering property on the coastlines, why are people still going to college and getting into massive student loans, why is anyone planning anything for the future past then next 12 years.
