Teen eco-warrior Izzy Cook rips flights to Fiji then admits to recent trip
New York Post ^ | September 28, 2022 | Lee Brown

A teen eco-warrior is going viral for a live radio interview in which she ripped people flying to vacation hotspots like Fiji — before admitting she’d just got back from that exact trip with her family.

Izzy Cook, 16, left NewstalkZB host Heather du Plessis-Allan laughing hysterically with her admission Friday while discussing the Greta Thunberg -inspired School Strike 4 Climate she is leading in Wellington, New Zealand.

During the chat, the teen environmentalists pushed a plan for people to have to apply to take gas-guzzling flights and only for approved events.

When her interviewer asked if people would be “allowed to go to Fiji” and if such a trip would be deemed “necessary,” the teen replied firmly: “In the current climate crisis I don’t think that that’s necessary.”

After admitting that her own last flight was “maybe a few months ago,” Cook hesitated when asked where she’d flown to.

...

“Fiji,” she finally replied — leaving du Plessis-Allan bursting into laughter.

“Izzy!” the interviewer said, struggling to contain her laughter.

“Izzy! Don’t you care about the climate, Izzy?” she asked in the clip shared more than a million times by Wednesday.

When the teen replied that “of course” she cared, du Plessis-Allan quipped: “Not enough! You went to Fiji! Izzy, c’mon mate — are you serious?”

After more uproarious laughter, she again asked: “Are you serious, Izzy?”

...

Heather du Plessis-Allan struggled to control her laughter after the teen’s admission.

The teen finally conceded that it was “pretty ironic.”

...

Clips of the exchange quickly went viral, with many replying with laughing emojis and calling it hypocrisy “at it’s finest” and “on steroids.”

“Another elitist spouting do as I say not what I do,” one person commentated, while another said: “It’s all virtue signaling from these libs.”

Liberals always want to exempt themselves from the excrement they want to shove down everyone else’ throats.

“Teen”. I guess that means authoritative source of information, like that retarded Swedish teenage girl that played hooky all the time.

Yep- they want us to do as they say, not as they do.

Good thing we are not ruled by sixteen-year-old girls. Not yet.

I don’t know. It’s starting to seem like they are running things. Into the ground, I might add.

I lost interest at “teen” Most teenagers are totally ignorant of just about everything except maybe sex and drugs, but feel they know everything. like the old joke about how much smarter your parents get from the time you’re 18 to the time you’re 25. A clone of the retarded Thundberg bint.

This is pure gold. And the mom’s response is worth the read.

Hilarious. The mother doesn’t even get it. That she took a trip to Figi along with her daughter, but telling others that they shouldn’t do this is nothing short of amazing. No brain cells, only emotion.

Du Plessis-Allan had done her “research” (aka checking out my daughter’s Instagram) that said she went to Fiji

it’s called opposition research...

She hit the liberal trifecta. She's a hypocrite. She's a liberal. And she's stupid.

That's the liberal demographic. Every time. And these are the people in charge.

"Wait", you say. "We're going to control the House and the Senate after the mid terms."

But those pimps will make no difference. They're all the same illegitimate children of the same Globalist whoremonger of a daddy.

Perhaps the teen hasn't yet learned the word "hypocritical." She needs to work on her vocabulary.

I wonder if her middle name might be "Adelaide." If so, she would be "Izzy A. Kook."

I don’t blame her personally. She never had a chance with all of her school and peer group brainwashing. Her parents may have been instrumental as well.

My point is, the same girl raised in 1950s America, would not have all of these mental issues and confusion. She is not the cause of this insanity, but the outcome from it.

She is still bat poop crazy, but I can’t find myself blaming her for it when she never had a chance, being raised in this woke day and age.

We have ruined an entire generation of children. And things are getting worse.
