In today’s Britain, a rare public figure can bring together Brexiteers and Remainers, Conservatives and Labour. Yet the teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg did just that on a visit to London in April, when she was feted by British politicians from across the political spectrum.
In an address to Parliament, Thunberg said she spoke for the children who had been betrayed by politicians and voters who had failed to prevent climate change. She also claimed to speak for the unborn billions of people who will bear the brunt of a rapidly warming world. “I am 16 years old,” she said. “I come from Sweden. And I speak on behalf of future generations. … Now we probably don’t even have a future anymore.”
It would have taken a very brave politician to downplay the stark moral power of this message. None of her British interlocutors—from Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to would-be Tory leader Michael Gove to the speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow—dared. Instead, they all accepted the charges laid against them and promised to do better.

The slavery of Communism is our only hope to save da planet. Obviously, somebody wasn’t fortunate enough to tour eastern Europe after “the Wall” came down.
Said the totalitarian.
Now that the Mueller report is dead and buried, I see CBS this morning moving on to advocating for climate change i.e. enlarging government and destroying capitalism. This morning they interviewed a farmer who said “It was 90, this isn’t normal”? Really, 90 isn’t normal in the summer? sheesh.
Funny perspective. Anthropogenic cilimat change is both the enemy of science and democracy.
Marxists/communists/socialists hate human beings. They are all just burdens of the state... open mouths like orphans, and a chore to get something back from.
They don’t inherently love the earth more. They gravitate to fake causes, false gods, and pseudo-sciences as a symptom of their cosmology, not a causation for it.
Children as human shields, an old tactic.
I'll accept her assertions of being 16 years old and coming from Sweden. But she doesn't speak on behalf of future generations. And she neither has the knowledge nor experience to be credible about her future.
Ignorance and arrogance do not combine into wisdom. That is the only lesson to draw from this twit.

Well said, but it is difficult to separate cause and effect in these cases.
When you attempt to manipulate supply-and-demand by reducing supply and fixing prices, the only solution is to reduce demand - which when lowered enough becomes terminal en masse.
“I am 16 years old.”

A buffoonish article, parading foolishness as wisdom.
Teaching that Big Brother is their salvation. When the yoke tightens it will be too late.
As the Grand Solar Minimum continues for decades, and we cool into another mini-ice age, little Greta with then yearn, maybe even pray, for global warming.
As crops fail and food becomes scarce globally, as waters remain frozen, as buried water utilities freeze, as diesel and fuel oil gel, as heating bills skyrocket, as hypothermia kills many...will proggies suggest dusting the Earth’s polar ice with soot, to absorb more solar heat, as they suggested in the 1970’s?
The irony will be astounding. And lost on little Greta.
I thought Muslims RAPING Swedish girls was a bigger problem?
The FRAUD is a con to get you to give up your freedoms.
If "they" really believed the crap they're selling they'd insist that China and India quit building dirty coal fired plants at the rate of 2 per month.
Bullshit politicians using fake crisis to implement Communism while employing children as shields.
Disgusting human beings.
