Greta Thunberg while being mobbed by reporters in Madrid complained that “they” were desperate to silence her – but the COP25 climate conference she hopes to influence is already on the verge of failure.
Greta Thunberg: ‘They try so desperately to silence us’
Matt McGrath Environment correspondent @mattmcgrathbbc
…
The 16-year-old was mobbed by press and spectators when she visited the conference centre earlier on Friday.
She had to be escorted away for her own safety amid shouts of “leave her alone” from concerned observers.
…
“People want everything to continue like now and they are afraid of change,” she told reporters.
“And change is what we young people are bringing and that is why they want to silence us and that is just a proof that we are having an impact that our voices are being heard that they try so desperately to silence us.”
…
This COP started with great hope last Monday, with strong words from the UN secretary-general and others, warning that time is running out and that negotiators should be guided by the science.
Since then, the urgency has given way to frustration.
Little obvious progress is being made on the central question of raising countries’ ambitions to cut carbon.
Indeed, UN climate chief Patricia Espinosa said the issue of increased pledges wasn’t even on the agenda for the final outcome of this conference.
“We don’t have in the agenda one item that’s called ‘ambition’ and, therefore, it’s not like we are expecting to have a specific decision on that.”

Who are “they” who are trying to silence you Greta? Not climate skeptics – because we want as many people as possible to hear your message.
Greta makes the people I despise squirm by exposing their hypocrisy, while she practices that very same hypocrisy herself. And the funniest part, the people she targets have to sit there and take it, otherwise they’ll be accused of not caring.
Who are ‘they’ and what have ‘they’ been doing to silence Greta? She seems to have got herself heard somehow!
Projection. And in such a young age, too. Tsk tsk.
Projection is the tantamount tactic of extremist mentalities. It provides them a license to continue behaving in that same manner as a “counter-measure”.
Exactly what I was thinking. No doubt instructed to by her handlers; alarmists and liberals in general are projecting like mad, along with their big lies and repetition they appear to be following Goebbels’ handbook…
“In his analysis of Nazi propaganda, Ellis Freeman identified an influence tactic based on projection: accusing another person of the negative traits and behaviors that one possesses and exhibits with the goal of deflecting blame away from one’s own misdeeds and toward the accused…the use of projection as an influence tactic is not limited to fascist regimes and its consequences can be socially devastating…”
“[I]n the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods….[T]he most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unfiagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.” – Adolph Hitler
Why does she not listen for a change?
Those who are on the path of righteousness have no need to listen, especially when it is all settled anyway.
Greta is the chosen one.
This obnoxious child makes one long for the day when children were seen and not heard.
Just imagine her in 10 years. BLECH Here’s some comic relief – the image alone provides Christmas mirth at her insufferable expense..

“…..Who are ‘they’ and what have ‘they’ been doing to silence Greta?……”
It’s ‘The Man’! The Man is keeping me down. You should stick it to The Man…..
She should try saying that there are only two genders. Then she’ll find out how quickly someone gets silenced!!!
Two sexes.
‘Gender’ is a BS term.

Absolutely

That is PC this week, ……. but not last week.
Us old ferts still recognize what “context” a word is in reference too.
And some wiseass can‘t be changing the “meaning” of a word just because they are “learning disabled”.

At first I was tempted to give you a bad time. However, I decided to look up the definition of “gender.” Certainly the new definition (not the one I originally learned) of gender is a load of politically-correct balderdash. I’m surprised at how quickly all the major dictionaries jumped on the band wagon and endorsed the changed definition. Humpty Dumpty would be pleased to see that its approach to defining things has been so widely accepted.
I think it’s the Chinese………
Salute!
NO!
It’s the Russians, dontchya know?
Gums sends…
The Russians are funding her through NGOs
Russia/Putin wants Europe dependent on her natural gas.

Lat, might that be the infamous Cho Ho, who my wife keeps insisting she ain’t?
(As in: “get it yourself, I ain’t Cho Ho!”)
Greta could walk to China or India to protest their increasing CO2 emissions. But she chooses to use boats and have the crews fly on jets to increase emissions.
She should even feel quite comfortable living in N. Korea. I understand that their use of electricity is so small, that one can readily discern N. Korea from S. Korea in night-time satellite photos.
They must have stolen her voice, how dare they!
Another teenager with a more sensible view.
It’s just exactly the same conspiratorial devolutional cycles we find on the other side, you know, …. the no-way-its-carbon, anthropogenic climate-change denial side of this circus. “They” are the enemy and anything that might not work out for us is because of “them”. In this case, the reference is to the right-wing media, big oil, gas, coal industry, and the war dogs that detest the narrative and imposition of the climate armageddon tribal factions.
You should be demoted Private,
I dont think she knows who “they” are in her weird little mental cinema. Neither would she be able to describe how this silencing is enacted when AGW gets a free run on media everywhere. She would need to ask her handlers for some details on that one. Seriously, at 16 you dont know your elbow from your ar$e, or how anything in the world really works. Its sad she is being put through this wringer.
sure it must be translated , not talking on tv is being silenced…
Greta is the living definition of a “pseudo-event.” Media creation in toto.
I was thinking the same thing – looks to me like she’s been provided a pedestal to stand in front of the whole world – just possibly, it’s what she has to say that’s being rejected – not the fact that she hasn’t got her message out.
Go figure.
The 16-year-old was mobbed by press and spectators ….
And she thinks people are trying to silence her? I am certainly not trying to silence her. She’s the epitome of what is wrong with that entire philosophy. No one dares question anything, no matter how silly it is.
No, please, let her rattle on. Phenomena do not have prolonged spans of time….
The 16-year-old was mobbed by press and spectators when she visited the conference centre earlier on Friday.
Usually, when there’s a mob of reporters around, they are trying to get someone to speak, not silence them. I fear Greta suffers from, among many other mental ailments, a persecution complex. I’d love for her to identify even one person who is “trying to silence her”.
So you think Greta actually writes her speeches? I don’t. She is a sock puppet.
But, she has super-angry-bird-carbon-vision! 😵
She is an actress: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10361418/?ref_=fn_al_nm_2
Maybe G’s handlers have decided it’s time for her to stfu because even the media are starting to realize that she really doesn’t have anything new to contribute to the agw apoclypse?
LOL! Who thought she ever did? Did Leo DiCaprio have anything new to share when he found time to speak before the UN on the dangers of Climate Change between trips on his mega yacht and private jet to check out the new sea side resort he was building on some Caribbean island?
We ought to give her all the time and rope she desires.
I see my part in this as calling the play-by-play, as it happens and as I see it.
As usual, when a leftist speaks, whatever they say is true, just reverse the roles.
She is on record demanding that anyone who has another view than the one she adheres to must be silenced.
“And she thinks people are trying to silence her? I am certainly not trying to silence her.”
I think Greta is confused. People who disagree with her about human-caused climate change, is not the same as trying to silence her. There’s a difference between arguing with someone, and telling that someone to shut up. Noone is telling you to shut up, Greta.
No, Greta, you are not being silenced, you are being challenged about your beliefs. You are free to respond as much as you desire.
Who cares about Pippi Thunderpants Thunberg? She provides no information and is merely a creation of the media. If I never read her name again it will still be too soon. Go away….
Thank you, Michael.
Ditto.

Bob
See! You’re both trying to SILENCE gentle, loving, caring, concerned, victimized, little, defenseless, Greta. You MEAN old white men!
#metoo
She needs to realize how they are trying to silence Will Happer, that mean old white man…
Who said he was/is old?
lol
The frightful BBC is inviting her as Guest Editor (wot’s that? ) on the flagship Radio 4 Today programme. I shall send in complaint about child abuse.

Will Franken might have a screw loose or two but he’s brilliant.
If the panning of the audience was done in sync’ with Franken’s lines, did you notice how some of the people were not laughing? I s’pose humor can’t even bring sense to true believers.
Some religious people don’t like to be ridiculed.
What is on the agenda of this UN Party?
What are all these folks doing?

Can the UN and friends get any more pathetic?
John F. Hultquist, asked, “What is on the agenda of this UN Party?”
It’s called the “World Totalitarianism Fund” or the WTF to most of us.

+1,000 LOL
Previously known as the WWtF charity.
Hey Bob, I thought it stood for World Totalitarian Front. I don’t think any of those involved in WTF have any intention of “funding ” anything. They think we, the normal people will provide all their funds.
When I heard there was yet another COP meeting involving yet another 30,000 freeloaders is it only 25 COP meeting so far? I thought WTF. When I heard it was going ahead despite the Chileans rioting in anger at the cost and waste of public funds involved and thinking they had stopped it, some EU big noise says, “lets have it in Madrid, Spain has lots of money to waste and the hotels are always a bit quiet in early December”. Another WTF moment. Followed by St Greta sailing across the ocean, not having mastered the walking on water trick yet, getting star billing….WTF is going on in the world?
… the Chileans rioting in anger at the cost and waste of public funds
What? They are the communists in the streets protesting against working people not obeying the authority of the better ones.
Yes, guilty as charged. Can you just shut up about your ignorant climate doom? We’ve heard it a million times already. It’s stupid, annoying, and boring, and I don’t care about your obsession. I think there’s medication for that. I’ll have a beer. It helps me with your whining.
i pity this poor deluded child… and despise the parents/schools/MFM that created her.
Her creation was no accident. Big money and Soros created her, funds and supports her.
Greta’s Soros Connections
September 28, 2019
http://bit.ly/2oJXGmU
…However, the young girl’s sudden ascent to prominence is not happening by chance. She has deep connections to the globalist elite and activist parents who are supporters of the far-left domestic terrorist group ANTIFA.
Thunberg’s frequent handler is Luisa-Marie Neubauer, an operative from the ONE Movement. Neubauer can be seen behind Thunberg at many of her public events.
…Thunberg was forced to apologize this summer for wearing an ANTIFA t-shirt by mistake. She claimed on her Twitter account that she did not realize that the t-shirt was advertising a violent extremist organization. However, her parents – Svante Thunberg and Malena Ernman – have been photographed wearing the exact same t-shirt, casting serious doubt on her explanation…
https://www.linkedin.com/in/luisa-m-neubauer/?locale=en_US
The article continues with more information. It is truly depressing that the Media support Soros in this and refuse to call him out.
KcTaz
This is the Information we need, the more the better, the greta scam needs to be shown. Its funny that she can see co2 and knows the world is going to end, after reading and understanding complex science papers on weather, yet she doesn’t know what antifa stands for 😐
Interesting to read even more information on the parents exploiting their handicapped child for their own selfish purposes, whatever they may be.
I repeat here what I posted in a previous post here a few days ago:
“I completely agree that her being made a symbol of our eminent demise is ridiculous and terrible.
However, it is my understanding that as a younger child she was diagnosed with Asperger’s disease (currently lumped in with the all inclusive “autism spectrum disorder” [ASD] by our brilliant and wonderfully effective mental health community ) that is characterized by being intelligent, but overly obsessive, compulsive and lacking in abilities to interact socially. Once these people get something in their heads, it tends to stay there obsessively.
If this is true, then she is to be pitied as a tool of the warmists and they and her artist parents should be charged with child abuse.”
As for Soros, no heinous act by an organization is too vile to fund if his global objectives are furthered. If you want an up close and personal view of his amoral views of the world, just watch this “60 Minutes” interview with him back in 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSyczwuTQfo
His disassociation from any responsibility in the holocaust is unbelievable.
Sorry, the interview was in 1998, not 2016. My error!
Well … we’re doing a pretty shitty job of “silencing her”. Or “silencing” anyone else in the great CAGW scam.
If you compare the journalistic millimeters of Greta, a schoolkid with a powerful PR backing operation, and a real climate scientist activist such as the world famous alarmist James Hansen or very moderately alarmed warmist, Dr Roger Pielke Jr, the schoolkid is getting much morepositive coverage per week and journalists even print what she says.
I don’t even care to mention how her supporters have silenced scientists and officials making sure they don’t talk (or are not heard when talking) against unfounded alarmism.
So, in my opinion, this is yet another example of guilty herself what she blames others for. Far-left Leftism in action. Well funded and designed agit prop. Which brings me to the final conclusion: the age of CAGW cultism will end in 10 to 15 years. We have seen the peak.
true….need to start beating the drum about what a $c@m it is…how China and the developing world are responsible for all the increase in CO2
If we can convince them that China is responsible for all of it…the game’s over
Peak Climate alarmism! Love it … but what FRACKING climate alarmism? What about shale climate alarmism?
true….need to start beating the drum about what a $c@m it is…how China and the developing world are responsible for all the increase in CO2
If we can convince them that China is killing us all…the game’s over
Perhaps she has begun to realize she’s got nothing much to add but looking grim, glaring and pouting so is making excuses as to why she’s got nuffin’ but the tumult of 3 weeks of angry ocean inside to propel her sanctimonious spleen-venting?
I’d give her full marks though if she plaited a whip instead of pigtails and drove all the money-changers and lying hypocrites out of the UN Temple then declared herself the literal Daughter of Gaia.
She won’t be riding my donkey into town, palms up or palms down…
Well, aren’t you /special/?
Nobody wants to silence you, we just want to laugh and point and mock. You are free to babble whatever nonsense you desire, just as we are free to make fun of you.
If we were really going to silence these people, they’d be /silent/. But they just aren’t worth that kind of effort.
You gotta love this: A microphone wherever she goes. MSM coverage round the clock. NYTimes Sponsorship. Yet what does she do but step to the microphone and declare she is being silenced.
Is there anyone on the planet within reach of a TV, Radio, Newspaper or internet access that doesn’t know who she is? Plenty may wonder, why does she have such a loud voice but nobody is asking – who is Greta? This isn’t a disillusioned child. This is a delusional one. She needs psychiatric help.
Wait a minute, how did she get from her fossil fuel made boat to the venue? I read it was a 9+ hour drive and public transport was around the same time?
Has anybody looked in to her parents finances? How rich have they become after greta became a u.n. puppet?
Also what changes is she taking about? Is she going to join the 40+ thousand slave children working in Congolese colbart mines? (Unisef 2019) She hasn’t even given up her mobile phone or plastic wrapped food, yet she wants us to starve and live without any technology, which includes solar panels and wind generators as they to use plastic seals and electronics 😐 Vile greta and her get rich scam needs to stopped.
She took the train from Lisbon to Madrid.
Fonseca-Statter
I didn’t know that spain has solar or wind powered trains… Vile greta the constant hypocrite!
It was a Portuguese train (you know, from Portugal… that country next to Spain). Most Portuguese rail lines are electrified, but the train used (in part of the itinerary) was powered by diesel. As a joke, a Portuguese association offered her a donkey, an offer that was declined.
Wasn’t there an offer of a donkey?
The only problem I can see with that is the methane!
She took a train from Lisbon…
Sunny
It is spelled “cobalt.” There is no “r” in it.
Sunny, “Congolese colbart mines” aren’t that common. More likely “the fog on the Tyne is all mine all mines” –

Hong Kong has entered the stupidity stakes with a 10-year old Greta wannabe.
https://www.greenqueen.com.hk/lance-lau-interview-hong-kongs-student-climate-activist-i-want-my-future/
OMG! Now, the press, if you can call GQ the press, is fawning over a 10 year old child in Hong Kong which has far, far greater and more immediate problems than climate change to which China is contributing more than any other nation if you believe CO2 is evil and is the epitome of what the Alarmists want, total control of the people.
His far more immediate problem is freedom from Xi’s diktats and attempts to subject Hong Kong to the same dictatorial control he exercises in the rest of China not to mention the horrendous real pollution and environmental disasters created by, among other things, their mining of rare earth metals for “green” windmills and solar without any environmental safeguards at all.
His parents must be on Xi’s payroll.

As more factories sprang up, the banks grew higher, the lake grew larger and the stench and fumes grew more overwhelming.
‘It turned into a mountain that towered over us,’ says Mr Su. ‘Anything we planted just withered, then our animals started to sicken and die.’
People too began to suffer. Dalahai villagers say their teeth began to fall out, their hair turned white at unusually young ages…
But, sure, let’s not go to school because of CO2. Good grief!
What makes this worse kcTaz is the amount of CO2 actually created for the life cycle of wind and solar!
All forms of transport from mining, processing, manufacturing, transport to ports, shipping and transfer to points of installation! They all use massive amounts of ‘fossil fuels’ thereby producing CO2. All for nothing! The power itself doesn’t even produce reliable power. Added to the ecological damage being continued even today, it’s nothing short of criminal!
The greens claim that wind turbines and solar power will save the world with it’s ‘clean energy’. Meanwhile they are spewing exponential amounts of the very thing they are seeking to reduce, CO2, into the atmosphere.
Arable land is being destroyed, people living near these industrial plants, some covering more than a thousand hectares of countryside, often have no say. There is nothing positive or even useful about wind and solar. It’s intermittent, has a short life and then they start all over again. And there is very little recycling done anywhere in the world. No-one, unless it’s mandated is really keen to pay for the huge amount of infrastructure required and an unknown profit margin. Then of course, I don’t think anyone has decided what to do with the toxic waste that results from this additional process.
We know it’s all a farce, we need to think about what we can do to get this sort of information to the MSM.
Thanks for the link kcTaz, I hope that enough people see it to feel the need to take some form of action!
she is NOT a sane child……
Her hormones aren’t firing correctly.
Bill Powers at least one person in London, UK didn’t know who she was November 19 this year…Do WE???
It would be interesting to have a Greta-counter that clicked every time someone posts another story or comment on global warming anywhere on the internets. It would be a continuous buzz right now, with the big party in Spain. I wonder how much background radiation, err, climate noise there would still be in a month.
To Greta and her sycophants: NOT ALL CHANGE IS GOOD.
I think you may have meant “NOT ALL CHANGE IS BAD”.
Well thanks Great Thunderpants!
My 12 year old granddaughter doesn’t want to go to school anymore, “there’s no point I will be dead before I am 25, so I want to enjoy my life “.
Who’s going to pay for her therapy?
The only desperation on our side is the fight to keep our voices heard. And protect the growing number of scientists and academics who are beginning to see the Climate Alarmists for what they are.
Sadly it’s people like Naomi Seibt who are getting minimal coverage by the MSM
Naomi in Madrid earlier this week.
Heartland! It should be ashamed of itself. Breitbart unceasingly castigates the people handling and leveraging Greta for their own interests as exploiting children.
Hypocrites.
She’s 18 years old and a free agent to do anything she pleases and speaks her own views. What could be more acceptable than free speech?
And note the bright honest open attitude and body language, the relative pride in being a human, in being part of a modern civilization and society, free to pursue as she pleases a genuine open stymied scientific inquiry and exploration of the real complexity of the natural world, compared to the misanthropic, simplistic false angry accusations and fake-crisis conjuring of alarmists who want to eliminate real science and genuine natural curiosity to understand the world and humbly communicate.
My former university was overflowing with girls like Naomi.
But now the girls are auto-suppressed, censored, attacked and goaded, driven-out by lunatic Greenies and anti-science thought-police fanatics who can’t face that science is actually about freedom to inquire, and freedom to associate and communicate openly with others. Instead, girls at universities are pre-‘taught’ at school by ‘teachers’, to fear real scientific knowledge, the truth of complexity and uncertainty, and to shy away from questioning, and flock together in groups of victims, and to feel bad about people and focus on imaginary future catastrophes.
Thank goodness people like Naomi have rejected all that and show mentally abused girls everywhere what a normal, smart intelligent girl really looks and sounds like.
She could get “arrested” in Germany for her thoughts about climate change !
JPP
Never mind Greta, “Matt McGrath Environment correspondent @mattmcgrathbbc” just picked up a £100,000 bribe to keep on spouting Gang Green’s agit-prop drivel. And that’s on top of his salary and index-linked pension, entirely paid for by the BBC’s “Licence Fee” payers.
If you watch TV in the UK, you either pay £155 a year to the British Bullshit Corporation (watch it or not), or you end up in Court.
I live in the UK, I haven’t had a TV license for 18 years. I don’t watch TV, ever, and I have never been to Court. If I want to watch sport I go to the pub, which is a much better place to watch it.
I do get a constant stream of threatening letters, but they are never addressed to me (always ‘The Householder’), so I ignore them.
You should return them marked “Not known at this address”.
Have an terrible idea: can you lose your license by not paying that fee?
Pretty easy to foresee: She proclaims that we must follow the “science”. She will be “silenced”. The “science” of the IPCC’s SPM will be declared the gold-standard to which poor Greta, the “climate martyr” (TM) referred and we will be expected to honor Greta’s wishes and cough up the cash. 🙁
Whenever anyone on the left talks about their adherence to science, ask them how many genders there are, and ask them when human life begins.
The instant silence will be deafening.
Really?…
Yes really.
Be careful to wear ear plugs or some other type of hearing protection whenever you attempt this maneuver, because the silence will hit your ears so hard and suddenly it can easily rupture the tympanic membrane and cause permanent damage.
Better yet, ask them how many sexes there are. Genders are simply behavior, and pretty meaningless.
Gender is what has been redefined and expanded up.
Trans people refers to being transgender.
Biological males competing in women’s sporting events refers to people choosing to identify as another gender.
Gender is what it at issue with the whole pronoun flapdoodle.
Gender is what the left now claims there are over 78 of.
Besides, the whole issue has now been obfuscated into incoherence by redefining words in ambiguous and poorly thought out but completely non-negotiable ways.
Look up the distinction, and we find crap like this:
“What is the difference between a transsexual and a transgender?
Definition. Transgender refers to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond with their birth sex while transsexual refers to a person who emotionally and psychologically feels that they belong to the opposite sex.”
OK…wait, what?
One refers to personal identity and gender, while the other refers to emotional state and psychology…IOW to state of mind.
What the hell is the difference?
And in the first one, gender does not correspond to birth sex, while in the second one, a person feels like they belong to the opposite sex.
Hmm, well now. That is as clear as mud.
This and similar definitions make the question more complicated, and clears up nothing.
In fact, the biggest shift is in defining gender away from the concept of a binary choice.
Hence, when one signs up for Facebook, and they ask what gender one is, there are something like 78 or more choices. Whatever nonsense someone makes up causes the list to constantly expand.
On top of that, using the word sex raises the possibility of some people failing to distinguish sexual orientation from gender identity.
For example, in the unlikely circumstance that I am sent to prison, I will identify as a female, with the sexual orientation of lesbian. I am certain this will result in a far more agreeable period of incarceration.
But all of this is rather beside the point.
There are in reality two genders, no matter what anyone says, except to the extent that people can create new definitions for words and then if enough people agree to use these definitions, it is a semantic reality.
But it is not a biological one.
I have made a point of keeping up to date on this nonsense, to the point that I have already been able to discern that many on the left who live by this nonsense are nonetheless not particularly well informed as to what exactly these various words mean on any particular day.
And no one can claim any of it is in the least bit scientific, because it is not.
It is just made up fantasyland as hoc bafflegab.
It’s standard leftism.
Failure to worship with sufficient intensity is indistinguishable from hatred.
How can we silence her, when she won’t shut up?
Now imagine you just traveled across the Atlantic with her for three weeks with no sanctuary?
Would you be in a hurry to do that again?
I wouldn’t be doing again because when the yacht arrived I would be the only one on it!
There is an errant alarm going off where I live. ‘Whaaa Whaaa Whaaa’
We cant think straight
Cant sleep properly
Cant enjoy life
‘Whaaa Whaaa Whaaa’
‘Whaaa Whaaa Whaaa’
and now it seems to be saying we are trying to silence it
‘Whaaa Whaaa Whaaa’
I wish
The empathetic appeals are strong with this one.
We must be careful not to underestimate the power of literally thousands of brainless, school-skipping, virtue signaling, screaming, crying, tantrum-throwing, hypocritical, climate know-nothing, self-obsessed, prattling kids “demanding” to be listened to.
Their “parents” must be so proud.
‘They try to silence us’.
She doesn’t have a clue.
They DO silence US. The censorship of real Climate Scientists and the censorship of Real Data is nearly complete.
Fortunately, people still don’t care…so far.
When anyone – and McGrath is a prime case in point – talks about carbon dioxide as being ‘carbon’ I just know they are activists. No scientist would use the term and, if found doing so, is not worth the sodium.
Dear Little Greta,
Regarding your statement quoted in the above article’s title: how dare you!
I do believe there are hundreds—if not thousands—of MSM internet, TV and radio “reporters” desperately wanting to interview you and publish quotes of your wisdom.
Go figure.
Jeremy Clarkson on Greta Thunberg:
“She’s mad and she’s dangerous and she’s causing young children sleepless nights with her idiocy.”
Politically illiterate Clarkson’s plain speaking /src
I love that cute little scolding face of hypocrisy and projection, I think she hurts her cause.
She definitely doesn’t mean the media…she gets more coverage than AOC…
The dutch crown princess Amalia of Orange (just turned 16), is a far better diplomat than Greta. When asked for an opinion on some displays she answered, “I cannot judge on that, because I haven’t seen everything yet”
REAL Serious Censorship already exists in mainstream Science.
Government financed Climate Alarmists (and any other willing liars) get time to tell their lies in the (Democratic-Party-Owned) Media. Any contrarians get called names in the Press…and recieve calls for termination.
Few can get placement and promotion in taxpayer subsidized Climate research unless they tow the line of the Climate Crisis meme. Step out of line and the career you spent 15 to 30 years of study to achieve is taken from you and then you are ostracized by the other (government) scientists and then pilloried in the press if you DON’T SHUT UP.
Why is the Right NOT FIGHTING THIS ?
At the very least THESE S.O.B’.s should get defunded. We taxpayers actually have to pay for this propaganda that’s trying to destroy our country.
Instead, we see Republican Congressman continuing to fund these treacherous liars…because some of the $$ gets spent in their Districts/States. Whores that don’t deserve our votes…but still get our votes because the alternative is more DISGUSTING than giving the vote to a Whore.
But I keep writing letters to them and making calls.
“tow the line”
I still wonder where it’s being towed to.
Maybe you meant “toe the line”?
Greta is a marvelous tool. She can see CO2. She knows people are already dying from AGW. She pouts when she doesn’t get her way. She doesn’t realize how badly her nonsense is damaging her cause.
All good.
Geobbels used children in his propaganda efforts with great success. No one will attack a child, regardless of what they say. Or, will soon regret it. And, the public will accept any sacrifice if it is for “the children.”
The classics always come back.

Talk about the metaphorical third rail.
You don’t dare touch it.
No matter how enticing it is.
Ignoring you is not ‘silencing’ you wee Greta.
Given that Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming,repackaged as Climate Change. is an intelligence test,it makes perfect sense that the international spokesperson is labelled the Magic Retard.
Although Greta is technically an adult in some countries,the state of pain and panic she projects makes it pretty clear she is an abused child.
I hope she can make the leap from being fed BS to thinking for herself.
Global warming just keeps getting funnier all the time.
Now the movement is being led by a 16 year old child who dropped out of high school and who can see carbon dioxide. And who claims she is being silenced. Reminds of the child Jesus teaching the elders in the temple.
In Chicago on Friday a group of school kids cut class and marched through the downtown area to protest global warming. The news media of course fawned all over them. Such wise wise children. I heard one of these wise children being interviewed on the radio. She said she would really rather be in class but protesting global warming was more important. Oh the sacrifices we all have to make.
Funny thing but there was frost on my car windshield again this morning.
Greta has too much irony in her diet:

We don’t need teenagers to tell us we are destroying the planet. We need less teenagers which means we need less babies
The Guardian has known for over 10 years that
“Baby emissions fuel global warming
Estimates of the carbon legacy of bringing a child into the world suggest that the green choice may be to stop at two kids ”
https://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2009/aug/04/population-climate-change-birth-rates
What is the matter with you people? We need to stop babies farting.
Cork a baby and save the planet.
Pppphhhhrrrrtttt! Sorry. That was me not the baby.
The hustlers on late night cable TV are always hawking super nutrient pills or debt elimination schemes that”they” don’t want you to know about. Between all that and silencing the world’s Warmunists, “they” are busy folks indeed.
We don’t want to silence you, the more nonsense you preach the better we like it. Haven’t you figured it out yet? <:o)
Has that twit Luisa Marie-Nuebauers written your script for today yet?
Grrrrrr etta Tunaburger is a gift.
Please let her speak. Often.
“negotiators should be guided by the science.”
Twilight Zone science……
E =M x C7 Einstein’s Theory of relativity
F= M x A5 Newton’s law of motion
2 x 2 =10 Simple Multiplication
Sunshine + H20 + Minerals + Pollution = O2 +Food(sugars) +End of life on earth ……. Greta Thunberg’s irrefutable law of settled climate crisis
If she was any more pampered…. she would be wearing them !
😉
Here is a longer interview with Naomi Seibt she should be interviewed by someone on WUWT
Or CNN,, lol that will happen
JPP
Who are “They”? (ie, the Silencers). In the UK, the only silencing I’m aware of is that applied to sceptics.
Incidentally, has anyone read The Economist lately? On every other subject it’s informed, sensible, reasonable etc. But on Climate Change, it has gone completely nutzoid.
Silence you and the climate changers? Darlin in case you haven’t noticed your mob of doomsdayers have commandeered all the oxygen there is anytime there’s another COPout kneesup-
https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/techandscience/oceans-losing-oxygen-at-unprecedented-rate-experts-warn/ar-BBXTxQH
Sounds like I’ll need a grant to study the effects of plastic molecules leeching out of the hulls of modern boats and snaffling all the fishy’s oxygen and whether wooden boats are the answer to it all. This will take some serious cruising to get to the bottom of it particularly the effects of warm tropical waters.
” … She travelled by catamaran instead of plane, but pointed out living sustainably must become much easier. “We can’t require, from everyone, to rely on people like this to sail you across the ocean, that is absurd,” she said. … ” https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-04/greta-arrives-in-portugal/11763386
——————
At least Greta’s finally ‘learned’ that sailing across the Atlantic ocean as transport is absurd and impractical. But if she was less committed to conceit and arrogance, and was able to take instruction in advance from people who know these things (i.e. get an education), she could have listened to people who already knew that and not made that mistake. They could have instructed you Greta as to why crossing the Atlantic was a really dumb, immature, wasteful, expensive and dangerous thing to do in a plastic, carbon and steel boat. Plus it was still deeply hypocritical and delusional, and needlessly risked the lives of others, to satisfy your mad delusion.
If you’re reading this Greta, and I hope you do, you’ve now proven beyond questions that you are a fool.
This is no insult either as you did a brave but also incredibly foolish thing, it’s an observation. You’re a fool for not listening to those who could have told you the facts in advance before you foolishly repeated known obvious errors. If you run your mouth less and rushed to judgement and action less quickly you might have avoided this and further mistakes to come, instead of pretending you know enough to speak authoritatively, because you’ve demonstrated here that you have no clue about very important practical things.
And due to your amazing stupidity and stubbornness you actually did it twice! Once wasn’t enough? You couldn’t admit it was an error and recant and express humility? Are you now unable to do that? Are you captured and entrained by your own foolish words and inability to admit your own hypocrisy?
See the problem you face when you do that? You own mind is going to be very hard on you in coming years Greta, I don’t envy where you’re headed, but I do hope you get there safely. It’s not a case of people wanting to silence you, it’s just that you’re clearly a blind-guide who pretends to see the way for others. And as the rest of that parable goes, “… and they both ended up in the ditch”.
Try not to drag other people into your dangerous blind follies Greta, they don’t deserve that.
Like Hitler Youth, these kids just won’t shut up.
“COP25 on the verge of failure”
Not just on the verge
The whole concept conceived by numnut UN bureaucrats is a grand and complete failure. This is why there are now 25 COPS and no results. The idea that the UN is the global environmental protection agency is structurally flawed and that is why it needs the Gretas and the extinction rebellions of the world.
“Ambition” is an admirable thing but without the legal framework of the EPA of the USA, the UN’s aspiration to a global EPA role is pure ambition and no substance.

Seriously? That deserves its own thread so we can put a factual scientific flame-thrower over it.

See the following link:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/worlds-oceans-are-losing-oxygen-at-a-dangerous-rate-study-says/ar-BBXUJHd
Interestingly, the article states, “Larger marine animals are swimming closer to the surface, where oxygen is more available, but this leaves them prone to overfishing.” That is countered with the claim, “According to the study, about 50% of oxygen loss in the upper part of the ocean is a result of temperature increase.” Why would larger fish swim to the shallower waters that are losing oxygen from warming? More high-quality science!
“People want everything to continue like now and they are afraid of change,” she told reporters. “And change is what we young people are bringing …”
She doesn’t want (climate) change but she’s bringing change. Poor girl seems confused.

Actually people want everything to continue like now but expect the Gummint or UN or whatever to take care of changing the climate back to wherever it’s supposed to be without any new taxes or charges but some free LED light bulbs or subsidised solar panels is fine. If you can manage it Greta then that’s fine with them too but tone down the bragging and just get on with it.
Hmmmmm, I’d suspect that after all the wind propelled travel difficulties, much publicised, young Greta probably expected to enter the COP being greeted with the modern day equivalent of Palms ?
Using the BBC news webpage as a source, it seems such an event did not happen 🙁 In fact one might even conclude that Greta is experiencing what its like to be a phart in a spacesuit ?
Greta’s real power is to be able to turn people off regarding the CC scam, and that aint going to fit the pistol of those making out like bandits on the back of climate doom.
Next up, Expect the Doom Militants to start attacking the mainstream CC mongers.
Greta is definitely being silenced by her handlers.
When she is asked questions by Rebel News, her handlers call the police so that she cannot make statements off the “script”.
I told Anthony to take tissues because the green and left would need it because the outcome was entirely predictable. The funny part is watching who the green and left groups trying to work out who to blame because they have to blame someone rather than face the reality there whole idea is stupid and was never going to work. Old white privileged males will be the obvious blame target again.
Who is trying to silence them?
Ever since Margaret Thatcher pushed the AGW story into international politics we have had the Establishment, the mainstream media, and politicians of every flavour shovelling the story on to us. Big Money and big reputations are tied up in it. The filthy stinking rich elite and the pseudo-left artsie-fartsies are happy to agree that AGW is major issue and should be talked about endlessly.
It is the dissenters who get silenced.
boring. skeptics try this same tired line of “being silenced”
When was the last time you saw a climate sceptic on CNN, BBC, Sky, Channel 4?
How many alarmists have been fired for pushing the CO2 is going to kill us line.
On the other there are many skeptics who have lost jobs for opposing the Green Machine.
How many journals refuse to publish any paper that supports climate alarmism?
On the other hand, alarmists have bragged about getting an editor fired because he allowed a skeptic paper to be published.
How many sites refuse to post any comments that support the alarmists?
On the other hand the number of sites that ban skeptics is legion.
As always steve, you see what your paycheck demands you to see.
Well let’s see. The BBC doesn’t allow dissenting opinion on Climate Change. The Conversation and MANY other academic sites do not allow skeptic comments, no matter how respectful they are.
Are any skeptics being mobbed by reporters wherever they go?
Mosher
Unlike the fantasies of Greta, there are skeptics that can provide evidence of “being silenced.” I have frequently had The Conversation delete remarks because I pointed out errors in claims by their esteemed authors.
Nuthin’ wrong there that a 16 year-old boy with a permarection couldn’t fix.
Mods, the above comment needs to go away. It’s not appropriate at all.
Jeff
It is in poor taste and not something I would say. However, he at least uses his full name and will be associated with the remark. That is unlike some of the trolls who engage in personal attacks and hide behind a pseudonym.
I just wonder: in a few years from now, who the heck is gonna want to marry that annoyingly angry retard? Anyone at all?
With the support of her adult handlers she has the world stage to condemn the very people who make the modern world possible for an easier and longer life. She has been told to ignore good weather and to look at it as prelude to total disaster.
Will the climate change? It always has. There are four seasons, are we to believe one of the four will become dominate and destroy when there is only one season.
You dident mention this part of Greta ‘s speech did you mat magrath your a disgrace to journalism your a activist hiding behind journalism

The faces of global warming
I saw an advertisement of tv just now for Time Magazine and they were promoting their upcoming issue where they name the Time Magazine Person of the Year, and among others, they flashed a picture of Greta Thunberg. I wonder. 🙂
Silly people! THEY are actually afraid that without fossil fuels THEY will go back to the technological level of the early 1700s. What a preposterous fear! THEY have nothing to fear but fear itself! THEY should embrace change, welcome it! THEY must give up those cars and airplanes! THEY must give up their cell phones, computers! Horses are wonderful animals to ride. Since when do THEY need advanced medical technology? After all, our ancestors did quite well with herbs and witch-doctors as enough of them lived to a ripe old age of 40. Hey, if it was good enough for them it should be good enough for YOU. Anyway, THEY should give no thought to going without electricity, natural gas or diesel heating oil to keep warm with in the winter as THEY’ll all have fireplaces to burn wood. It’ll take 2 years to denude all the world’s forests to use the wood to heat their homes, but that should be good enough because we’re already in the midst of an extinction so we’re dying out anyway. We won’t need those forests after that. Be tough, chuck those air conditioners and just endure sweltering summer heat that the CAGW Alarmists say is coming! Embrace change! We’ve already started by going back to windmills to generate energy, so why not go all the way? But that’s what we mean by being “Progressive”! If we don’t keep all those dangerous fossil fuels in the ground the result will be mass death! Oh, the humanity!!!!!!!! /sarc
I’m not trying to silence her, I’m just not listening.
I wish the stupid, ignorant, little brat would shut up and stop embarrassing herself. Her parents should be charged with mentally ill child abuse and the Gretin forced to learn some real science.
Does the right to expression include a right to be listened to?
