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.”

Hey Brandon, Welco0me to the world you created, where nothing you do can ever be enough to appease your type of terrorist. All of the b*tching has nothing to do with your policies or your efforts. It’s all about them and their anger.

Maybe so, but there is some colossal mental illness there too. She is autistic, that is pretty much public knowledge. The delusions of grandeur point to narcissism. She is also a manipulated tool of her parents, handlers and a complicit media circling back to your statement.

In the end, she needs access to a shrink instead of a microphone.

Wow. So much blather and pap in one article. I particularly liked the statement:

"...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..."

Astonishing.

I am listening to the RFK Jr. book "The Real Anthony Fauci" and I can barely get through it, he is such a Leftist POS that I cannot imagine how I will be able to make common cause with someone like him even if he is like the proverbial stopped clock. But I will take what I can get out of it.

Thing is, in his book he is talking about his "thing" (which is vaccination and the the corruption in the scientific community and regulatory agencies with malignant coordination between them) and he lashes out at "Scientific Consensus" with respect to vaccines and clinical study results saying how terrible it is, and how NOBODY should swallow "Scientific Consensus" because there is no such thing in science. And he is being attacked by his allies on the Left who want to discredit him because he doesn't accept the "Scientific Consensus" which is what makes him mouth these words.

But he wholeheartedly embraces and parrots the "Scientific Consensus" when it comes to climate change. It is that kind of thing, that blind spot that many Leftists have innately and are either too stupid to see it, or intentionally disregard it because it isn't helpful. No explanation. It is as if you have a conversation that goes like this (if they deign to reply at all):


CONSERVATIVE: Look, you just said that ten minutes ago, and now you say this. Those two things cannot be simultaneously true.

LEFTIST: Nope. I didn't say that.

CONSERVATIVE: Hey! I have this video of you saying THAT EXACT THING ten minutes ago. (shows video to Leftist)

LEFTIST: Nope. That' not me. It is out of context. It is fabricated by right wing misinformation machines.


I find that infuriating, and I have long thought that this is a source of entertainment for them, that they can outright lie, nobody calls them on it, and they watch our heads explode at the lunacy of it.

Being There. Excellent movie, with the great missing scene after the end.

Few child actresses are not the children of narcissists—and ultimately narcissists themselves.

And again, she’s been put up to it from a young age.

Yeah, probably the ONLY thing we could agree on is the vax issue. The rest? No so much. So, as a clock can be right twice a day, rfk jr can be right on something. For the most part he is a nutbag. And I don’t know what “condition” he has but I feel uncomfortable listening to or watching him.

I admit, I didn’t know for a long time he really was the assassinated Senator’s son, in the same way I assumed that Senator John Kennedy was unrelated to the Kennedy Clan. I hadn’t been following him or reading about him until this came up.

Then, when I watched a video interview with him, looking at the face and the mouth, I realize with a shock that he was from the Kennedy Clan. It was a bit spooky. I tried to listen, but the voice made it difficult, so I got the book.

Reading it, you realize, he is a Leftist dirtbag. He just happens to be correct (I believe) on the appalling improprieties in the medical research field.

In this, he does seem to be the “broken clock”. I will use that in any way that I can, and in the process, maybe the damage his family has done in the form of the likes of Ted Kennedy may be diminished in some positive way.

I agree with her assessment of Biden. A stopped clock is correct twice a day.

Nobody with a working brain (that leaves out Senile Joe) thinks Biden is a leader.

“Neurotypical.” A new word for me today! Unfortunately neither Joe not Greta are neurotypical.

Question for Greta: is President Xi, who presides over a massive expansion of coal-fired power plants in China, a 'failed leader'?

Guess we'll never know ...

Saw a new organization (new to me) sign at UNR. The neurodiversity alliance. For folks that think “different”.
