'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."

Her mother is a failed opera singer. She fits the stereotype of the stage mom perfectly.

The European devil once again shows it true face. Tyranny. Deconstruction. Hatred of free people. This particular neo European devil will be removed from gods universe permanently. They will never again threaten gods chosen people with extinction.

She has some mental illnesses and her parents/the loony left and her parents are exploiting it.

I call this child abuse on a global scale.

Calling Alyssa Milano. You are wanted at the UN Climate Conference, Stat!

My Norwegian friend’s father told him, “You can’t trust a Swede.” Period.

My grandmother was from Sweden and my grandfather was from Norway. I’m actually surprised they got together,

I'm sure they would welcome her viewpoint and put her all over their state media scolding the party leaders.
