You may not believe this, but Greta Thunberg’s no air travel plan has hit a (hilarious) snag

WARNING: Do not have a sip of coffee or any other beverage in your mouth when you read this as it’s the funniest thing we’ve read today.

16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg is stuck “halfway to Chile” because organizers moved the event to Spain:

Greta Thunberg has traveled halfway to Chile, but will need to turn back to make the COP25 summit after it was moved to Spain. The activist, who refuses to fly due to high levels of emissions from air travel, has put out a transportation plea on Twitter.

“It turns out I’ve traveled half around the world, the wrong way:)” and “Now I need to find a way to cross the Atlantic in November,” which is, you know, winter and not the best sailing weather:

What the carbon footprint of her failed trip? We already know that her original trip involved flying crew members all over the place to reposition the yacht. And now this?

I’m so sorry I’ll not be able to visit South and Central America this time, I was so looking forward to this. But this is of course not about me, my experiences or where I wish to travel. We’re in a climate and ecological emergency. I send my support to the people in Chile.

More from the WSJ:

Greta’s voyage has had its own critics, who have pointed out that some members of the sailing crew will return by plane, while others fly in to sail the boat back to Europe.

Boris Herrmann, captain of the sailboat, Malizia II, said that the criticism was expected but that Greta shouldn’t be held responsible for the flights by crew members. “We are kind of the ferry to bring her over. We’re a professional sailing team and sometimes we need to fly. We used this voyage also to train,” he said, adding that the team offsets its flights by funding sustainability projects, including mangrove planting in Indonesia. “The trip is an example of how difficult it is to have zero carbon impact.”

And this, campers, is why we don’t let 16-year-olds set public policy:

This of course no problem. People are suffering all around the world, and I’m fine whatever I do and wherever I am.

Doncha love Karma?

Where is she now? In the US? Hopefully, she doesn’t get knocked up and pop out an anchor baby and make the US her home to avoid flying back to Europe. BTW, did she drop out of school?

How did this girl suddenly become so popular?

Ah, well, yes she should be held responsible. It’s her gig. She owns it. Besides, don’t most of these sail boats have Diesel engines? How much fuel do they burn? What a low class individual.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Nazi propaganda. Literally.

[wastedyears]

Hahahahah *cough* hahahahaha

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

She should change her name to Greta Canardly.

Ahhh, now there you go - you let out the secret!! Of course they have engines, it’s how you charge up the batteries which run the lights and electronics (navigational instruments, radio...)

But now that secret is out. /sarc

Sadly for her there was transportation available but now all unicorns are in libtopian locations with cables up shoved up their rectums to make up for power shortfalls due to them going green.

[teletech]

This is sad really. Where are her parents? She seems like a spoiled brainwashed brat to me.

[MrHead]

If she can make it to southeast Missouri, I will drive her to the St. Louis airport. Free of charge.

ECO-IMPACT, YACHTS:
- Dumping blackwater
- Dumping greywater
- Charging batteries with the gen-set
- Motive power, diesel
- Marina electricity
- Monitoring, communications
- Crew travel
- Trash dumping at sea, dunnage, waste etc. even per MARPOL
For MONTHS AND MONTHS
vs. a 7 hour flight on a plane with hundreds of other people.
HMMM GRETA...
Watch those blackwater tank indicators when you wake up...
See what happens while you sleep?

Halfway to Chile.
North to Alaska
Boat to Russia
South to Spain

Easy Peasy.
LOL.

She has- Asperger’s syndrome, OCD and selective mutism.

Obsessive compulsive disorder is nothing to be laughed at.

Those who have this are walking the very edge of insanity and it would take just one incident to push her off the edge.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

I would lend her a bike and point her at the nearest coast. Once she gets there I would have arranged a row boat. Would not want to have any emissions from moon faced little Gretta’s adventure.

The left made her that way because she’s young, has a mental disability, and is female- all of which make her unassailable by anyone- shoudl she come out as gay aT some point- then she will be a god to the left-

Basking in the notoriety and fame and rolling in the money-

“Wrong Way’’ Thunberg.
