Swedish climate worrier Greta Thunberg restarted her global campaign against all manner of “climate sins” on Wednesday by lashing the Danish capital Copenhagen for channeling waste water overflow into the sea.

According to AP, for the last six years the city has pumped large amounts of waste water into the seaway separating Sweden and Denmark during heavy rains.

WTH? They're in Dutch now. Anyway. I thought grrrrreta had changed hats and was now a panDEMic x-spurt. Did pumping the large amounts of rain water in to the sea cause Stockholm to be covered in water? Man if only I had been that brilliant at 17.................

Aww, just when I’d forgotten about that Nazi youth!

Is this grey water or actual sewage? You can actually water plants with grey water.

Just send it to her

Sounds like rain run-off. She should check to see what New Orleans does with their extra rain water. LOL!

Greta heads to focus on China and India. That’s where most of the pollution going into the ocean originates.

[Huskrrrr]

She releases human waste from her mouth every time she speaks.

Did you read the article you posted?

Untreated sewage mixed with surface runoff. Seems that they run both through the same sewers.

Dear Greta,

Been swimming in China lately????

She is a tool. Call her “The Wedge” The simplest tool known to man.

What article? 😨

Nothing wrong with grey water. Lotsa minerals. Bad bugs have been eliminated.

Not a real problem. Yes, it not pleasant, but older sewage systems world-wide do this. The few hours that both are promptly pumped out as highly diluted water are negligible compared to hundreds of millions in wasted extra cost, extra material, energy, lost land space to store and repump the segregated water flows. Plus the years of digging and reconstruction down every roadway in the city with current drains.

Typical FR headline read. DOH! Uh, my coffee was ready. Yeah, that's it. 😀

I no longer click on Breitbart, no click $ for new owners. Can you post entire article?

[JerseyDvl]

What’s a new owner? I think Breitbart is quite good but to each their own.

Yes this a common problem/solution since man first started channeling waste water to the nearest lake/river/ocean. Even the most modern plants are not designed to handle what is commonly referred to as I&I (infiltration and inflow) which gets into the older piping systems with normal sewage during large storm events. To do so would be cost prohibitive.
