A teen climate activist spoke to Congress Wednesday and urged members of the House of Representatives to “listen to the scientists.”
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, 16, said to Congress she was not there to deliver prepared remarks but to present a special report on global warming. (RELATED: Swedish Student Tells People Not To Be Hopeful About Climate Change, But To ‘Panic’ Instead)
“I am submitting this report because I don’t want you to listen to me,” Thunberg said. “I want you to listen to the scientists, and I want you to unite behind the science, and then I want you to take real action, thank you.”

Every time I hear Greta, it is obvious that she doesn’t know “The Science” in anywhere near as in depth as the most casual reader of WUWT.
St. Greta knows talking points. That much is clear. What also seems clear to me is that she is incapable of answering any elementary questions about climate.
For example, I doubt she even knows the current ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere. I have seen no evidence that she is aware of that number. I have seen no evidence that she has been following model ‘projections’ vs. actual temperature or any other of the arguable points of ‘climate change.’
She don’t know nothin’. She’s a prop. Sad.
Our resident ‘climate change’ naysayers’ (I wanted to write dufusses, but abstained), Lloydo, griff, etc. are far more aware of the arguments for and against CO2-driven Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change than Greta will ever know or comprehend.
I discount conspiracy theories out of hand for the most part, but this Twitter conversation regarding Greta and her family and their history and ties to some unsavory characters and organizations is at least entertaining if not eye opening if true. If any of it is true, it says a lot about how much progress the Left has made.
Time to Wake Up

Someone needs to spread the news that acne is caused by climate change. That would liven things up.
People who use children like this are horrible human beings. There is not one thing a 13 year old child has that can inform us on science. Which is to say that this is pure propaganda. The people who put her up to this should be made to answer for their actions.
I just watched Greta’s speech to the United Nations. I’d never seen her speak before so I thought I’d take a gander.
That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in years.
That girl is obviously nutty as a fruitcake. She’s an out-and-out loony.
I hope the media keeps broadcasting the tape of Greta’s speech.
The more people who see it, the more people will realize that the girl is an out-and-out nutjob.
Everyone loves a cute puppy . Which she isn’t . The people sitting behind her apparently don’t have the guts to
try and sell their shit themselves .
Climate changes, it’s run by natural variables just like always .
We should celebrate any warming trend while it lasts .
Co2 levels are rising but are closer to extinguishing plants and trees on the low end than historic averages without any fossil fuel use .
Sorry sweet chicken face there ain’t no Santa either .
PS.. The much quoted IPCC is bought and paid for biased science fiction that ignores the effect of natural variables which dwarf any mouse amount of human generated CO2 . . If the earth warms there are more winners than losers . Rising sea levels apparently hasn’t stopped Obama , Suzuki and a host of other hypocrites from buying waterfront .
What a waste of resources .
How Re-Greta-ble that this child is being used to bamboozle scientifically illiterate people around the globe into taking action in order to mitigate a problem that does not exist.
According to the church of anthropogenic climate change we only have 12 years left to act or planet Earth will become uninhabitable and we’ll all be dead.
Amazing! There is no time left for rational thought we all must act immediately.
This is the sign of a confidence game in action.
