It would be cruelty to interrogate a mentally ill and brainwashed young woman.

What a sad person this entity is. Her parents should be ashamed of themselves. I will always take the opposite of what people like her blurt out as her mind is not in reality. I don’t want her in my country, even for a short self promotional tour.

From my wanderings on the internet:

If you get the point and tire of reading, do at least scroll down to the last line (-:
_____________________________________________________________________
One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta woke up to a perfect world, one in which there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks.

“What’s this?” she asked.

“Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother.

“What happened to the carpet?” she asked.

“The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.

Greta smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fiber bristles.

“Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.”

“Where’s the water?” asked Greta.

“Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it”

“Why’s there no running water?” Greta asked, becoming a little peevish.

“Well,” said her godmother, “Where do we begin?”

There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth- moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Sweden’s energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . .

“What’s for breakfast?” interjected Greta, whose head was hurting.

“Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied her godmother. “Raw.”

“How so, raw?” inquired Greta.

“Well, . . .” And once again, Greta was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Sweden anymore.

“But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented Greta.

“Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.”

“What?!” interjected Greta. “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.”

“Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum- based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not an easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Swedish fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.”

This represents only a fraction of Greta’s day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fiber boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet.

Tune in tomorrow when Greta needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.

Great stuff. Perhaps it can be translated into Swedish so there’s no danger of her missing one bit of the sometimes subtle take-down.

This generation's "... and a child shall lead them" (from the LEFT)! I remember the LEFTist girl-child (age 10) of 1982, Samantha Smith (Maine) when that madman, Ronald Ray-gun, was threatening that peaceful Soviet Union (SU) and its leader, Yuri Andropov. The LEFT of that day had paroxysms over her letter to the SU Premier and how evil our President was in comparison!

Little was ever said about the two men's background in the course of the LEFT's disinformation campaign. Reagan's career as actor, broadcaster and California Governor gave his critics ample fodder to mislead and lie! Andropov's history of masterminding the squashing of Hungary's 1956 revolt and his 15 year leadership of the KGB were obviously minor in comparison!

Same lies and bias, different child!

Precisely: The Left is using her as a human shield to advance their clilmate change narrative.

"lost"

A very poignant story. Thank you for sharing it. Greg should testify in congress because, he's right!

Trump nailed it when he said “ She seems like a real happy little girl:.

An 18 year old expert on climate. Sure...

Greta meeting AOC: "You old people must step aside for us if we are to save this planet."

I hope that Ms Thunberg explains why CO2 fails to keep the air warm under a mid-day solar eclipse where temperatures in the path of the shadow of the eclipse have been recorded to dip by double digits in some places.
Solar eclipse 2017: How much did the temperature change during the eclipse? (8.22.17)

Here’s some other cold weather events, some relatively recent, that global warming alarmists failed to predict.

Insights welcome.

Carbon free crossing of the atlantic. WOW Wonderful. And they only had to fly the crew back and forth via airlines when she could have just flown herself once.

She’s apparently only going to the house. Safer there apparently. Of course Marjorie could ask her questions. She’s better the Cruz and Paul anyway.

If there was ever a time and place for the GMOD (i.e., great meteor of death) — this is it.
It doesn’t have to be a dinosaur killer. 20 yards (not meters!, yards darnit) across would do. A lot of beautiful marble buildings would be lost, but do the risk/benefit. Think of all the lobbyists. :)

Here's to Scoldilocks, aka Greta Thunberg, keeping her mouth shut long enough for the Earth Day Moment of Silence for Holly Maddux who was murdered by Earth Day co-founder Ira Samuel Einhorn.

Let the bell ring 23 times, once for every year that Ira Einhorn spent in Europe before being extradited back to the United States for his crime.

Here's to designating September 9th Enviro-Scam Victims Day in honor of the millions of victims of Earth Day and other Communist environmentalist scams, since September 9th is the day Earth Day co-founder Ira Samuel Einhorn murdered Holly Maddux.

Do we listen to Greta or the equally misinformed Congress? Which would be the least dangerous to listen to? How about we go on with our lives & pay as little attention as possible to either her or our Congress.
