Greta Thunberg slams president's failure on climate change 'It's strange that people think of Joe Biden as a leader'

Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg ripped President Joe Biden for not leading on climate change and investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure in his first year.

“I mean, it’s strange that people think of Joe Biden as a leader for the climate when you see what his administration is doing,” Thunberg told the Washington Post in an interview Monday. “The U.S. is actually expanding fossil fuel infrastructure. Why is the U.S. doing that?”

“It should not fall on us activists and teenagers who just want to go to school to raise this awareness and to inform people that we are actually facing an emergency,” she said.

Thunberg explained that leaders like Biden were afraid to make substantive progress tackling climate change because people are “herd animals.”

“It feels like many today — neurotypical people, people in general — are so focused on following the stream, doing like everyone else, because they don’t want to stand out,” Thunberg said, according to the Post. “They don’t want to be uncomfortable. They don’t want to cause any problems. They just want to be like everyone else.”

Greta vs Joe = Asperger’s vs Alzheimer’s.

Hardly anyone does.
Not even Democrats.

Having an approval rating of near zilch creates strange bedfellows.

Then just go to school, Greta. Learn a useful skill like engineering, nursing, or plumbing. Then come back and talk to us when you’ve learned something about the world (maybe around age 35 or so).

Why does she get interviewed? Peter Sellers made a film called “Being There” that was about a mentally challenged gardener who was mistaken for a genius. His simple minded comments were interpreted as profound by elitist snobs who wanted to look like deep thinkers. Greta strikes me as perpetuating the same hoax.

It's for sure a white man's world in America. Look here: I raised that boy since he was the size of a piss-ant. And I'll say right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir. Had no brains at all. Was stuffed with rice pudding between th' ears. Shortchanged by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! Yes, sir, all you've gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want. Gobbledy-gook!

Interesting that the little b**** has "0" solutions because no fossil fuels means, no food, shelter and clothing for millions.

In other words...she forgot about "the People". She's just plain ignorant.

And anyone that thinks that man can alter our climate is as ignorant as she is.
