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.

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-

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.
