'How dare you': Greta Thunberg tears into world leaders over inaction at U.N. climate summit
Yahoo News ^ | 23 Sep 2019 | Daniel Stableford

In an angry and emotional speech at the United Nations climate summit on Monday, Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg tore into world leaders for failing to act.

"This is all wrong," Thunberg said, reading from a piece of paper. "I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean, yet you come to us young people for hope. How dare you."

"People are suffering," the 16-year-old continued through tears. "People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are at the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you."

"How dare you continue to look away and come here saying you are doing enough," Thunberg added. "You say you hear us and understand the urgency, but no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that. Because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil. And that I refuse to believe."

We should be vary of the hysterical movement this eco-nazi is starting, it’s very dark, grounded in ignorance and emotion, and could start a bloody conflict.

No little brat is going to dictate to me. Even at 16, she deserves a sound spanking and sent home.

“Let’s stop climate change”

Too late.

The climate just changed from summer to fall.

It’s organic, it can not be stopped.

The only thing she got right. Brainwashed punks, why should we listen to them? They can't clean up after themselves. In city after city where protests were held about saving the world, they left a mess of trash - including paper and styrofoam cups and plastic straws. If they can't manage their own trash, why should we listen to them! Spare the rod, spoil the child - lots of spoiled children out there!

In another few years, that idiot will have to be wearing a burka in her home country of Sweden. The good news on that is that the rest of us will not have to look upon her mean and ugly face.

I’m guessing in a few years she will identify as a boy. Seriously. Her climate-change attention and perceived power will wane and she will want the attention and power back again.

Her autism, anxiety and OCD are also disabilities that turns into gender dysphoria. Something like 80% of girls with gender dysphoria have one or more of the previous issues.

Veruca Salt is a spoiled brat whose father gives her whatever she wants. Nobody else listens to her. This girl reminds me of Anthony from “The Twilight Zone” or one of the Children of the Corn. Everyone has to do what they say or else. Pure evil.

That's all she needed to say, and she would have been right, and not 'wrong'.

But, she insisted on being wrong and making a fool of herself and allowing herself to be used by the 'climate change' hoaxers.

BTW, her 'acting' was atrocious.

Dear, when you are 23, you will realize that the earth is just fine and that you were had by abusive scumbags who would do that to a young lady. You will either join the climate con or become an honest person and ignore them.
