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.

She is certainly the best candidate for a Ambassador “FOR” Climate Change. Funny however, I thought she was against it.

She’s stuck on some kind of Climate Change doorknob.

There’s a segment in the footnotes to the Starr Report, where Monica suggests to Bill that if he wins the upcoming election she could be given some sort of cabinet position. “I could be Secretary of Blowjobs,” she suggested. To which Clinton mused, “I’d like that.”

The UnAmerican Nations needs to be refunded by the US taxpayers...

The UN Building could be used for something useful...

Like a marijuana growing farm or a homeless shelter...

Or leave it abandoned and it will still be more useful...🤓

She appears to have Down Syndrome. It’s obvious, her activist mother was using her (Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy) to push the climate hoax agenda.

Would not be surprised if Puppet Biden invited her to the White House for a mutual shower. She would no doubt enjoy having her hair sniffed by the old man.
