Greta Thunberg To U.S.: 'You Have A Moral Responsibility' On Climate Change
NPR ^ | Sept. 13, 2019 | Bill Chappell

Posted on 09/13/2019 1:38:34 PM PDT by Innovative

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, 16, attends a protest outside the White House on Friday. She launched the Friday school strikes last year. Since then, her notoriety has steadily grown as she speaks in clear and powerful terms about why people — particularly young people — must pay attention to our climate.

Greta Thunberg led a protest at the White House Friday. But she wasn't looking to go inside: "I don't want to meet with people who don't accept the science," she says. The young Swedish activist joined a large crowd of protesters outside the White House Friday morning, calling for immediate action to help the environment and reverse an alarming warming trend in average global temperatures.

Her message for President Trump is the same thing she tells other politicians, Thunberg says: listen to science and take responsibility.

I’m trying to imagine what kind of freaking nutjob parents were involved in shaping her worldview.

A child of 16 is easily manipulated.

I would love to see her try this line instead of the White House, but the Chinese or Indian capital. The two countries adding a new coal plant a month and whose skies have buildings over 4 stories blotted out by polution.

Well, the liberals and enviro nazi types love her.

I would love to hear from her in about 20 or 30 years, as she reflects on life and what was done about global warming.

I would love to hear how she laments she couldn’t do more, because of the nature of decision making in a free society and a constitutional republic such as America. America is not ruled by decree from global warming activists, and when she looks back, i’m sure she will see that not much that she hoped to see happen actually happened.

But she will also be alive and well in 30 years, and will see that the earth is still here, and that she will have been wrong about the gloom and doom she prophesied about.

Whether she will understand that staggering contradiction is unknown.

The “science”:
(1) Fiddle with data to make the past look colder and the present warmer.
(2) Refuse to reveal your methodology.
(3) Denounce anyone who questions the conclusions
(4) Claim “the science is settled” - no further discussion.

"Greta Thunberg To U.S.: 'You Have A Moral Responsibility' On Climate Change"

You know, she's right. Let's give Sweden to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Let the Pygmies administer the forced migration of Swedish women to employment in the Congo as the first good faith reparation.

Go home Greta. And take algore with you. We DO NOT take ANY marching orders from a mentally compromised child (that’d be YOU).

As a side note: can’t wait until this little bundle of joy realizes what her effed up parents have done to her. Wonder if MSLSD will report on that episode.

Somebody throw this little Hitler Youth out of here on her retarded little ass. I'm so bloody sick of self-righteous punk ass gits like her. She's a guest in our country, the nation that found ‘’environmentalism''' and instead of being respectful of being in someone's home as it were she starts mouthing off about how terrible we've decorated the place. F**k you , you soul less, dead eyed little punk.

In a few years when no one cares about her trip here and she does drugs and porno I may pay attention to her, now not so much.

She has a moral authority to get back into the kitchen and make me some pie.

Not really old enough for that. I'd say she has a moral responsibility to take her meds and get therapy, since she's out on the spectrum.

When any leftist tries to spout some sermon to us about their higher moral authority than ours, just remind yourself——

——they support and push funding for innocent living babies to be murdered under the term “abortion” and the child under the term “fetal tissue mass” is sold for body parts money at a profit. A beating heart can be taken out, and a baby just born can have his or her head smashed by the doctor to break the skull.

They have NO moral authority.

Yes, and I’m following my moral responsibility to not do something stupid and wasteful.

Next.
