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

Posted on 09/23/2019 2:33:43 PM PDT by Rummyfan

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."

I bet those ‘world leaders’ at the UN enjoyed it. They usually have to pay extra to get a barely pubescent girl to berate them.

She must have a “sponsor”, maybe Soros, or one of his people, who thinks that people will listen to the raving of a lunatic child.

"You stole my dreams and my childhood with your empty words."

What stole her dreams and her childhood was liberal falsehoods, propaganda and indoctrination. Those around her destroyed her with their wicked self righteousness and political fanaticism.

In 1918 my grandmother married at 16. Their wedding portrait shows a young woman and a WWI soldier off to France. They were married nearly fifty years until his death.

Good article. I have a feeling that all will not end well for Greta, or for her neglected sister, Beata. And what absolutely selfish insane parents, to exploit a damaged child this way. It’s criminal!

Yucko. Bet watching a few hours of 1970s Chuck Barris shows would be that much more pleasurable fare compared to listening to her garbage. Would like to see her show her face in China to say the same sorts of things as opposed to gullible New York.

Thanks for sharing this piece. For those who don't read it here's a particularly insightful passage:

"Your parents, in failing their first duty as a parent, stole your childhood. In not setting boundaries, they let you become a tiny tyrant. In not getting you appropriate therapy, they let you fall victim to your own depression and anxiety. By not appropriately redirecting your autism-focused obsession, they have let you become this – a child who is shunning a full education because you think you know everything there is to know about your chosen subject. They have failed you as parents, and are now unleashing you on the rest of us."

“Because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil.”

So what should we call people that understand the situation yet use the opportunity to spread lies and propaganda in order to try and reduce people’s standard of living?
