Greta Thunberg: The New UN Ambassador For Climate Change?
EuroWeekly News ^ | John Ensor

Is it time for change at the UN? A recent petition has stirred global attention, calling for Greta Thunberg’s appointment as the UN Ambassador for Climate Action.

Love her or loathe her, you can’t ignore her, she’s instantly recognisable and everyone knows where she stands on environmental issues. Greta Thunberg, the 20-year-old Swedish climate activist came to prominence in 2018, when as a schoolgirl she went ‘on strike’ from school to raise awareness of the planet’s climate crisis.

Since then she has become a global icon, a champion for many activists around the world, with the power to muster protests and disruption to get her message across. On the other hand, she’s a frequent thorn in the side of governments and businesses whom she strongly criticises for their perceived inactivity.

A new proposal however which calls for support to make Thunberg the official UN Ambassador for Climate Action has sparked a whirlwind of conflicting opinions, given Greta‘s controversial status in the public eye.

Petition Advocates Thunberg’s Influence

The petition, which is currently gathering momentum, highlights Thunberg’s emergence as a seminal figure in the climate change arena. Her impassioned advocacy and unwavering commitment have garnered a worldwide following.

The petitioners argue that Thunberg’s dynamic leadership has ignited a global movement, making her an ideal choice for this influential role at the UN.

Thunberg’s Global Impact

Despite her youth, Greta Thunberg has become a formidable force in environmental activism. Her voice resonates with millions, urging immediate action to combat the climate crisis. The petitioners emphasize her unique ability to galvanize public opinion and engage world leaders, underscoring her suitability for the position.

Controversy Surrounding Thunberg

While Thunberg’s advocacy has inspired many, it has also attracted criticism. Recently, the world’s perception of her was further polarised when she positioned herself firmly on the side of Gaza in the current Israel-Hamas conflict. This has sparked a broader debate on her potential role at the UN and whether her appointment would be beneficial or counterproductive.

The petition for Greta Thunberg’s appointment as a UN Ambassador for Climate Action has opened a debate on her influence and suitability for the role. Her supporters see her as a beacon of hope in the fight against climate change, while her detractors question her involvement in complex political matters.

The UN has morphed into a clear and present danger to humanity.

On the third hand, she's a delusional drama queen fool, and a dangerous one at that.

There's a big volcano going bonkers in Iceland now. Maybe if we throw her into the volcano it will appease the Gods Of Climate Change and they'll shut up.

Hey, it's worth a try...

When do sane people take political advice from a mentally disturbed uneducated teenager?

When they are brain deformed libtards. Just don't try to push that garbage on us, the people with common sense.

UN hates Israel.
Greta does, too, by endorsing Hamas terrorists.

The two could go together like flies on a pile of wet garbage.

A real FOTFLMAO moment. Nothing as inconsequential as the UN and no one as inconsequential as that Greta brat. A match made in hell for sure.

You know, I had forgotten scratching the blackboard with my fingernails as a kid, so long ago, until I saw her face and heard her voice.

We must all get together and fight global cooling.
The coming of the new ice age will doom us all!
Higher taxes will solve it.

She is as much a meat puppet for the cruel progressives who are animating her as Odungo et al who are puppeteering El Retardo in Chief.

Some leading Nazis were initially Wandervogel tree huggers. The Wandervogel movement is the source of German greenism and therefore of world greenism.
