For [her] defense of the environment, the Swedish church has claimed that activist Greta Thunberg is the “successor of Jesus Christ” at this time.

“Ad! Jesus of Nazareth has now named one of his successors, Greta Thunberg, ” wrote the Limhamns Kyrka church on Twitter.

A song for those reGretables seeking the miss-guided millennial messiah of Climate Change:

Next, they’ll be making a golden calf. Sheesh! Where’s Moses when you need him?

I suspect it will be a tofu calf, for obvious reasons.

And Moses will be at Longhorn Steakhouse.

Okay, I’m just gonna say it:

Why the heck is WUWT giving Greta so much attention?

Bad publicity is still publicity. This is the third article in a short amount of time.

Enough with Greta. Stop giving her more fame. Ignore her.

Let’s talk about electricity in Earth’s atmosphere or something else that climate-doom-research-funding-mania is stealing dollars away from finding out more about.

Why? Because, like it or not, she’s in the MSM news coverage of climate. Enough with the concern trolling, WUWT that do multiple things at once. It can cover (and mock) the Greta thing *and* do the other kinds of stories that you claim are more to your liking. Don’t like the Greta thread(s)? then simply don’t read them! And yet, like lady Macbeth, you “protest too much” as here you are in the thread despite your complaints.

She is just a teenage actress with a general science education plus what her handlers have been telling her. I doubt that she is aware of controversies regarding the AGW conjecture. The big question is who are her handlers, who is writing her speeches, and why are they putting her through all of this? Who has been paying for her trip? According to her own admission, she should be back in school.

All the way down the comments I was praying someone would post Swedish Death Metal Greta. Oh, Magoo, you’ve done it again! Isn’t it great when you can’t tell the difference between comedy and the news? I think we just turned the corner on showing the insanity and hypocrisy of the Gorebull Warming fanatics!

Yes that’s logical. Christ was crucified and his successor wants to crucify us

Along with Al Gore & Michael Mann, Greta Thunberg is but another “false prophet” that St. John warned us about in the Book of Revelations.

She keeps making those of us afflicted with Autism Spectrum cringe in misery.

One good way to test the hypothesis that this vile child is the new Jesus would be to nail her to a cross and when she dies, see if she is resurrected.

Crucifixion would be the easy part, it’s the follow-up that would be clincher.

I caught the end of their theme song and thought I heard:
“No phone, no lights, no motor car,
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It’s primitive as can be.”
Now where have I heard that before?

Greta Thunberg will flame out and fall back to earth, probably within a year or two, maybe sooner. She will be remembered like the Amazon fires last month, which was heavy in the global news and then poof, it was gone. I just hope some caring adults are giving her the proper support she will need, otherwise she might be a candidate to take her own life, seeing how used she has become by this climate charade. She has no future as a climate guru. This is all completely manufactured, just like the climate pronouncements of the IPCC and some of its scientists and supporters. This has finally turned to farce.

I predict a significant increase in agnosticism and atheism as word of this spreads.

When I was young I remember a Jehovahs Witness came to the door, and I actually spoke with them.

They read a part of the scripture that said Jesus would return when there are fires, floods, earthquakes etc ( this would have been the early 2000’s).
He said to me, and when has all this stuff been happening.
I said, forever.
He said no but when has it all been happening at once.
So I played along and said “now…”
He was excited and proclaimed that yes, now is when jesus will return.

The climate alarmists are no different to this JW.
They all think that this time is different to any time in the history of the earth.
That we are sinners and need redemption before the end of the earth.

It appears that it was someone’s idea of a joke. It was tweeted Dec. 1, 2018:

Original:
🔔Lucka 1❄️
Kungörelse! Jesus från Nasaret har nu utsett en av sina efterträdare, nämligen Greta Thunberg.🌟

Google translated:
Door 1 ❄️
Announcement! Jesus of Nazareth has now appointed one of his successors, Greta Thunberg. 🌟
 

The joke obviously fell flat. The last thing posted on the Twitter account was an apology, five days later, Dec. 6, 2018:

Original:
Kära twitter, Har vi sårat någon ber vi om ursäkt, det har aldrig varit vår mening. Vår mening har varit att på vårt sätt tala om Jesus Kristus. Nu lämnar vi arenan. Tack för engagemang, glädje och debatt. Gud välsigne er! Jonas Persson, församlingsherde

Google translated:
Dear twitter, If we have hurt someone we apologize, it has never been our opinion. Our sense has been to talk about Jesus Christ in our own way. Now we leave the arena. Thank you for your commitment, joy and debate. God bless you! Jonas Persson, ward pastor

And the account description was changed to…
Original:
Detta konto är nu inte aktivt men stanna gärna till en stund och meditera över det som varit…

Ooof. What a relief. Next the Pope might make her Blessed Greta.

We have reached peak Greta! That speech was a tipping point. The Swedish Death Metal YouTube version of it is right on. She should have stuck to the innocent child persona and not the angry vicious one.

There’s a lot of Christians out there who stopped going to church a long time ago, about the time the Cultural Marxists took over and subverted the whole thing. They still read the bible and try to follow it, but they avoid organized religion like the plague.

Christ did not normalize human sacrificial rites. Christ did not practice affirmative discrimination by low information attributes or color judgments. Christ did not conflate logical domains. Thunberg may want to reconsider her faith, quasi-religion, and ideological alignment.

Nothing new under the sun.
Churches have a proven record of positive acceptance of science, never mind the resulting carbon footprint.

This is excellent news.

Check if your country has a legally defined separation between church and state.
If yes -> all “klimate krazy” just managed to label itself as a religious cult ….
