Greta made woke climate leaders squirm at Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Austrian World Summit 2021 – they had to sit there and take it, and applaud and thank her afterwards.
I love Andrew Bolt of Australia’s Sky News’ take on it – he suggests “She abuses these woke leaders because no one else will listen or put up with it.”.
I’m actually starting to warm to Greta Thunberg.
Greta doesn’t drive, so she is unlikely to suffer a car accident, something which seems to happen occasionally to high profile people who upset European leaders – though I’m sure such accidents are just an unfortunate coincidence.
So the question is, how do woke climate leaders disinvite Greta, without looking like traitors to the cause? Maybe they are thick skinned enough to just put up with her scolding indefinitely. But the ongoing abuse surely makes it just a tinsy bit more likely that Greta’s victims will grab any opportunity which arises, to downgrade the climate emergency and head for the exit door.
I’m in favour of anything legal which increases woke climate leaders’ discomfort with their current choices – and Greta is providing plenty of high level discomfort.
Keep up the good work Greta.
Climate goblin wants us all to walk and live in yurts. Greta can stuff that.
Doom Goblin, please!
Not really the life of the party is she? Who invited her, most are probably asking?
Hey, I like what she’s doing. No sceptics could have these opportunities to call world leaders out on their hypocrisy. To bad she is unable to eventually surmise the real political backdrop to the climate window dressing. Michael Moore came close to seeing what’s really going on, but didn’t come up with the real scoop. Actually, Mike seems also unable to follow where the thread really leads despite how close he was to the truth. This is the blindspot that ordinary wokies all have. It’s too easy to block out the obvious with a template in their brain blaming right wing biggies like the Koch brothers for everything bad. ‘Woke’ indeed.
“Climate goblin”
Mythologically incorrect. Greta is a podling, one of the globe-headed side-species with which Henson and Froud populated The Dark Crystal.
Wikipedia:
“The Podlings are dwarf-like in stature yet with very rounded, circular-shaped, bulbous potato-like heads and small round eyes… In tune with nature, they can speak to Thra’s wildlife…”
(The key point they’re trying to get at, I think, is that podling’s heads are round.)
My personal view is that the whole lot of them are not mythical, they are farcical.
Their entire schtick is not a fairy tale, it is a joke.
According to Greta, AOC and the IPCC we only have 9 years, 2 months and 28 days left before we all disappear because of the coming climate apocalypse. Anybody getting nervous yet ? Remember the old saying – “Children should be seen and not heard”. There was a time when adults were smart enough to realize the judgment and insight of children should not be thrust on anyone.
Marc, hopefully Greta, AOC, and the IPCC will fade into the woodwork much sooner than 9 years, 2 months and 28 days, along with the extinction rebellion fools.

Bob
Yes, we can all dream…
Considering the latter was established in 1988 with the mission statement to find an adverse link between man and the climate. also considering that the UN continues its charter which is secretly to provide jobs for bureaucrats to manufacture hobgoblins; I wouldn’t set any expectation that the IPCC is going to “fade into the woodwork” in Greta’s lifetime.
In the meantime, the IPCC with the Bullhorn of the MSM better named The Propaganda Ministry is responsible for the ignorance of Greta, aOc and millions of nail biters that believe everything they read on their not so “SmartPhones” by the likes of Moveon.org, Huffington Post, Daily Beast. VOX, et. al. and aggregated by Comcast. Google, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, Twitter…
People that want the truth have to search it out at places like WUWT which the aforementioned propaganda collective censure and warn the brainwashed drones, such as Thunberg and the Cortez, to avoid because they provide information that runs contrary to the Propaganda.
In other words, by projection, they decry the truth as propaganda to the hiveminded collective, clamoring for Central Authoritarian Governance (CAG), under the misguided notion from the Propaganda Press, that CAG equals safety and security.
I didn’t think the Berlin Wall would come down in either my or my children’s lifetimes. When people are driven past a certain point of despair, they make things happen. It’s just sad that we have to be driven to despair.
Michael, there is an old saying that people don’t revolt on a full stomach. Despair is a first cousin to hunger. In the industrialized economies, the Central Authoritarians believe, so long as they can fill our bellies, they can feed us this “give us your liberty to save the planet” nonsense and we won’t spit it back.
@Bill Powers
You aptly describe here the “Big Brother” situation along with “The Ministry of Truth”. It seems to me that Big Brother resides in the corridors of the UN. and it’s acolytes, which over the years has been infiltrated by left wing/marxist activists.
Sadly there is no international constitution, written or otherwise that enables effective challenge to the UN etc. when it gets too big for it’s boots.
Indeed this bodes no good, particularly, as now, the internet enables the soft underbelly of the democratic process to be easily manipulated for political purposes; blurring reality with wild perceptions.
Re: Children’s Crusade of 1212.
It didn’t end well for the kiddies, all of whom ended up dead or enslaved. It was one of a number of “impossiblists’ movements” of the Middle Ages.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
There is nothing new under the sun. It all recycles itself- both foolish ideas and the the climate.
I had to look that up. Thanks for the history lesson.
https://www.history.com/news/the-disastrous-time-tens-of-thousands-of-children-tried-to-start-a-crusade
Not sure I trust The History Channel much anymore about history.
Back before they spent more time doing stuff like “Ancient Aliens” and whatever the series about Bigfoot and such (implying they were real but we just haven’t found the evidence yet), in a generally good series called “Blood and Iron”, they referred to the Tirpitz as one of the “pocket battleships”.
A big error that even Wikipedia has right.
(The Tirpitz was the sister ship of the Bismarck, not the Graf Spee!)
“Enslaved”? By whom?
Here I thought slavery exist until it was started by white guys in 16-something-or- other by a nation that didn’t even exist then!
> “Children should be seen and not heard”
Techically she’s an adult – she turned 18 in January.
Maybe it’s time for her to grow up, not just shut up?
Exactly. She is an adult pretending to be a precocious child in order to scam the woke.
They should give her a real job; let her play little Rhoda Penmark in a remake of The Bad Seed. She is perfect for the role.
She isn’t much to “look at” either. Her actions are largely puppetry, I’d be badly disappointed in her if she was my daughter.
“She isn’t much to “look at” either.”
Her parents allowed her to starve herself in a childish tantrum designed to stop the sky changing. As a result, she failed to hit the endocrine milestones that trigger menarche and the scary, tumultuous, beautiful transformation from childhood to womanhood.
“if she was my daughter.”
If Greta was your daughter you could expect a knock on the door from Social Services. She is, after all, a highly-visible victim of neglect that borders on abuse.
Fetal alcohol syndrome.
The abuse began before birth.
This is what the available evidence, and a good hard unflinching look at it, tells us.
All anyone has to do is a quick search.
There are numerous physical manifestations that are rather distinctive.
If she is lucky, she will realize she is and has been abused and lied to, and her life hijacked to serve the political whims of her parents.
It is all very sad and tawdry.
One too many cans of Heinze Beans.
Mr> Keyes: You say Mr. dingo could expect a knock on the door, suggesting a criminal investigation would target him. How do you know he’s a Republican in the USA? He could be a dem, therefore immune.
Please. Do we really have to see this scowling face. None are so guilty to deserve that.
Weren’t we already scheduled to disappear 9 years, 2 months and 28 days ago?
Whereas, Greta is just acting. Still, this is the best news she’s ever conveyed.
Must be a bit humiliating for her, having her slow education paraded in public like this. “Leaders are only pretending to act.” – yes; this is what happens in politics, congratulations on finally learning more about the political system!
She seems to be jaded beyond her years, is still missing a few steps, but apparently recognizes much of the fraud. Will she acquiesce to her own role playing to continue making a living off climate change?
Climate “scientists” are big pretenders too. Their narrative is made for money and power. Nature cannot be controlled. We can only use physics to survive with and against it.
She is heavily coached by her professional handlers. They are well trained and highly paid. They never let her out of reach and are always visible in the background, but are generally cropped out of the final picture.
“Slow education” or “Non-existent education”?
Imagine being so dense that you can’t understand that forest companies plant quick growing trees because it reduces building material costs.It takes a privileged life to protest that.
https://twitter.com/GretaThunberg/status/1413447620953968643
School strike — determined to stay ignorant until she gets her way. A tantrum.
Sapmi — the name for the traditional area of the Suomi peoples. It isn’t a country, but a region. EU Marxist-Nationalists want to become a single, communist country. Like in other places, they use Marxist rhetoric of ethnic division to spread dissent and to facilitate the revolution.
Lumber has brought great wealth to the people of the area. Understanding nothing but bringing on the continuous bloody revolution. Greta doesn’t care about the people or the trees, just about making a spectacle of herself in order to spread the true word of communist revolution.
Its not Suomi( Finland ) its Sami people in the Sapmi region from Norway over Sweden to Finland.
Sweden and Finland have huge forests, in Sweden more than 50 % of the land is forest and growing.
I stand corrected, I misread my reference. Sami is correct.
She did not name a country, but an ethnic region as a location for a forest. She is (or her handlers are) still trying to sow dissent and foment revolution by bringing out those differences.
I think that I would be more admiring of Greta’s efforts to bring discomfort to the EU leadership if she was arguing of far less effort rather than far more effort to appease the fabled Global Warming enthusiasts
The basic message from Greta Doomberg is that “world leaders” are not taking her message seriously. She is frustrated, and that’s the reason for the undignified rant. She finishes with “the audience has grown weary (wary?), the show is over”. On those measures, she seems to be speaking about her own campaign.
Funny how progressives are only able to avoid self-delusion and truly see themselves when they prepare to project that awful truth onto opponents. How do we know dems think “defund the police” is a bad idea? The white house lady and her amen chorus said it was a republican idea.
“HOW DARE YOU!”: produce electricity, grow crops, drive to work, drill for oil, raise your kids, live your lives…blah, blah, blah…
Greta is being played because she still hasn’t figured out CAGW is scam and she’s just a convenient pawn in this Fascist power and money grab..
Yes Greta is learning the hard lesson Politicians are doing what the public want so they get elected ….. The majority of the voters like to pretend to care and it’s slowly dawning on her.
I see her surroundings have improved markedly. There is clearly a fair amount of money in the messiah world
Mr. Richards: Indeed. Lotsa money in the messiah world. Makes you wonder about that one messiah, a pretty famous one, who died without a shekel.
I just wish it was true but coal powered electric is shutting down and I’m reading today about government ideas to ‘help’ us cut down on meat. Gas and petrol are on notice
How many daylight hours does Britain receive in winter months? Then there are those troublesome week+ wind droughts which occur every other year.
I predict fossil fuel will be shut down repeatedly in Britain over the next decade – then quietly but hastily re-commissioned, when the electricity fails.
Perhaps when the power fails those in charge who initiated the lame policies in the first place, then it will be reinstated on the grounds that they never really believed all that CAGW crap, it was somebody else’s fault!!! Our power can fail as often as the powers that be want it to fail, but just not theirs!!! Now why am I being so cynical since I turned into my 60’s, probably the same reason I was cynical in my 30s, 40s, & 50’s I guess!!! I genuinely believe that BS meter development should be taught in schools!!!
Admitting my ignorance.
Isn’t some of the power back-up in the UK from burning wood pellets?
IF I’ve got that right, then they burn down as many forests as they like and be still free of the PR stigma of using “fossil fuel”.
(As opposed to trying to burn pellets of petrified wood which would be a fossil fuel.) 😎
Drax power station, a recommissioned ex coal burning plant now burning wood transported from the USA. Stupidity itself.
Teenager led struggle session.
Greta’s two advantages – her youth (at the time) and her disability/alleged superpower. Perfect for the co-optation of youth.
Ingmar Rentzhog’s We Don’t Have Time outfit created the Greta Thunberg experience with a single tweet
Tagged in Rentzhog’s “lonely girl” tweet were five twitter accounts: Greta Thunberg, Zero Hour (youth movement), Jamie Margolin (the teenage founder of Zero Hour), Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, and the People’s Climate Strike twitter account (in the identical font and aesthetics as 350.org).

Now she’s over 18 and poorly educated – did she ever go back to school? I don’t believe she did.
I think the globalists are grinning and bearing it knowing she has lost a lot of her pulling power and will eventually fade away.
Who was the woman doing the introduction. I really can’t believe that she believes what she’s saying. Surely!!! I mean for heavens sake.
I cannot bring myself to open the video , why in the world people take notice of her foolish rhetoric beats me.
The only thing she has right is the utter hypocrisy of so called climate leaders.
If you ignore her climate blather, she is 100% correct
The leaders are in a real bind.
If they do what they say they want to do, all at once and whole hog-like, people will die, they will be out on their asses, and the whole charade will collapse.
Me either. It actually never even occurred to me to watch it.
It would be like purposefully walking across a carpet and grabbing a doorknob, knowing that little shock will just keep happening, again and again.
Masochism is overrated.
Scoldilocks strikes again. Ouch! She snarls and snaps at her own side, with the ardor and fury of a revolutionary, hoping to shame them into meaningful “action on climate and ecology”. By which I mean destroying the world’s economies, causing great harm (ironically) to the environment and resulting in millions of deaths, all in the name of a Cause based on the biggest, most evil Lie in human history. It is sad that she is so brainwashed and ignorant. But she is on the side of Evil, spurring her side to do much more, which makes her an Evil woman.
What kind of people just sit there and take it from a know-nothing little brat?
When did we start looking to children for wisdom?
“What kind of people just sit there and take it from a know-nothing little brat?”
Complete and utter jackasses.
I think that she is absolutely right in many regards, but unfortunately is just facing the opposite way to reality
You do realise it’s all scripted, right?
Her Facebook posts are written by her father Svante Thunberg and Indian climate change activist Adarsh Prathap.
I too believe that she is absolutely right in this. I’ve been saying it for a long time now. The trillion dollar “climate” industry has always been about TALKING about getting carbon dioxide levels down, just pretending, faking it. The people in on the scam are too fcuking useless to ever do anything tangible, or they just can’t be bothered to do anything but BS.
That kind of money attracts all the kinds of liars, criminals, toffee-nosed elitists, idiots, rent-seekers, leftards and phony leftards, politicians, unscrupulous lawyers, activists and phony paid activists, fake charities, worthless NGOs and the list goes on …..
Forget it Greta, people on here have been watching these people steal wealth from humanity for years now. They’re not going to let you interrupt their global scam, so just whine about how long we have left, don’t even try to uncover the corruption.
“has always been about TALKING about getting carbon dioxide levels down”
Notice how it’s always NET Zero? Usually “offset” by some sort of indulgence.
The Doom Pixie speaks! Yeah, go away silly girl.
Leaders are not pretending to act.
They’re doing plenty action….
Don’t we all go ‘All Dreamy’ while thinking “Things have never been better“
What a naive and under-educated little girl.
Its been 2,415 weeks since an international leader did something more than pretending to act.
Nixon resigned over something he had the absolute right to do… because people thought it was ethically wrong even tho it wasn’t.
Just another skidmark in the underwear of history.
Blame oil for the world populating to 8 billion.
Oil was the cause of transportation, medical, and communication infrastructures.
After the discovery of oil a few hundred years ago, we created various modes of transportation, a medical industry, and electronics and communications systems. The oil that reduced infant mortality, extended longevity to more than 80+ and allowed the world to populate to 8 billion, is now required to provide the food, medical, and communications to maintain and grow that population.
https://www.cfact.org/2021/06/20/blame-oil-for-the-world-populating-to-8-billion/
The first modern oil well was drilled near Baku in 1846, so 175 years ago. But petroleum and methane had been burned for 1500 years before that, starting in China.
World population graph is a true hockey stick.
Completely in sync with access to cheap plentiful energy
That is why the ecofascists hate oil and gas, they know it enabled exponential increase in population
If you replace “oil” with “fossil fuels”, what you said is more correct.
It was not just oil, and it started with coal.
She still plans to boycott Glasgow because poor countries can’t afford, or lack the infrastructure, or whatever, to get people vaccinated. I suppose she could just use Zoom or whatever, to get her angry, scolding “message” to climate “leaders” at COP26. Just imagine her scowling face “lecturing” them up on a giant screen. That would be a hoot. And they’d have to act all grateful and in full agreement with her that they are all complete dipshitz for “not doing enough” and “just acting”. LOL.
When a plane is depressurized and the oxygen masks drop down, the instructions always make it clear one must first attend to themselves first.
Then one can help others that may need it without it costing the helper their own life.
This is about what is happening re the vaccines.
Poor Greta….doesn’t realize that the political elites are way out in front of her. To them she is only a useful idiot to help them increase the fraction of the economy they can control. They can use her as a mascot, but actually doing what she espouses would be detrimental to their economic control strategy….so look for more and more emissions based taxes, more regulations seemingly for environmental assessment, but really just enabling bureaucrats to control what THEY want to…..all accomplishing actually nil on their stated environmental goals.
Exactly
Political elites do a fine job of control without climate change..
Surely you grasp they use all tools in the tool box and the fake climate emergency is just one tool
griff doesn’t do grasping
but he is a tool…..or did i spell that wrong….
Maurice Strong, the political elite who put environmentalism in the UN bag of tricks and got very wealthy doing it, would have trained Greta to feed his cat.
Cats do not need people to do that for them.
They do a fine job of it themselves.
I think it’s starting to dawn on the largely uninterested general public just how much this green tosh is going to cost them. Politicians blow with the wind. Once a few have lost their seats I suspect the ‘climate emergency’ will begin to look a lot less serious in the halls of government.
I am hopeful that the U.S. people voting in the elections of 2022 and 2024 will see and understand the reasons for all of the excessive cost and tax increases: neo-Marxism. CliSciFi is a front for the one-worlders.
Let’s just hope we have elections, and not “elections *wink wink*.”
The pendulum of political change never stops in the middle.
Ah, Greta Thunberg, Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for 2019, fading from public relevance faster than an ice cube melting as the result of global warming.
Pity there’s no pop talent around like the Beatles anymore to soak up a lot of that schoolgirl vapours-
Thousands of youth strikers gather in Regent Street as they take part… News Photo – Getty Images
There is K-Pop.
Ah! yes the nostalgia. I remember in the sixties when it was “Ban the Bomb”. That worked pretty well eh? now it seems everybody’s got one. On the bright side, all this ‘wailing and gnashing of teeth’ is fun to watch, ‘full of sound and fury and signifying nothing’ and when all the strutting and posturing is done and nothing happens they’ll be able to claim they saved the planet. My fear is that some genuine threat may emerge to distract them… a real Covid19 for example.
Cheers
Mike
It seems fitting to pretend to act for a pretend cause…
….. yes, but would it be too much to ask for them to do it on their own dime?
I find her quite unpleasant, actually. And she’s not a doom pixie any longer, she’s 18. What is her policy for the billion plus without electricity who daily burn her ‘collapsing ecosystems’ in order to live? To deny them coal fired power stations is racist. But understandable from comfortable little Sweden.
but as I have many times pointed out, the billion haven’t had anyone create any coal power stations in the 75 years since WW2, nor for the most part has anyone rolled out a grid…
Yet India and Kenya, with the help of renewable power, have pretty much 100% electricity coverage, even if not everyone yet connected to it.
I guess that is why so many people from G20 countries are emigrating to India, all that boundless clean power and high standard of living?
They sure have it made there, hard to understand why so many come to cold heartless canada every year.
Maybe you could explain that Griff. I’m sure there is a reason why so many are willing to uproot and move to the subarctic when they have it so good at home
Poor griff. Provably wrong as always
India…
Kenya
ROFL sure Griff where do you make this junk up 🙂
Yeah right Griff.
And I keep my house tidy and lightly scented of cinnamon buns with “help” from muh kittehs!
I wonder, if I reply to Mr. Lion, does griff still get a commission? ‘Cause this comment must go in the utterly false hall of fame for this commenter. Since WWII, no coal plants or grids built with western aid dollars?! I knew this fellow was in a bubble, did not know bubble tissue could be so thick. You can “point it out” as many times as you like, it only makes it more true to you.
Actually, Sweden does get rather chilly in the winter. How does Greta (or her parents) heat that house all winter? If they don’t use oil or natural gas, do they have to cut down trees for fuel, destroying the beautiful forests? Or does Greta simply hop on a plane or sailboat and travel to a climate conference in the tropics to escape the winter?
Sometimes, but even then her crew and entourage still fly to meet her and then back.
Girl still be all up in everybody’s face about her ideas, but last year well informed adults told us we only got to sacrifice our lifestyles for two (2) weeks to flatten The Curve.
To paraphrase Karl Marx….
“Young climate activist workers of the world unite!”
OT — This is WWWAAAYYYY off topic, but I was wondering if, when she grows up (physically), if anyone will actually marry her.
(It waaay off from relevance too, why can’t people stop the unprovoked personal attacks on Greta’s appearance, focus on her WORDS instead) SUNMOD
It is kind of nasty, isn’t it?
shouldn’t this site be about climate? Not nasty comments about young women?
Since this site isn’t really about climate, and the folks here comment on this girl, why not comment on how ugly this dude is:
.
Belford, you turd.
His ex-fiancée begs to differ.
Don’t care what she thinks, the picture speaks for itself.
She has been created as a tool for a purpose, an abused child with mental development issues, abused by people like you.
One day she is going to wake up and figure out who actually stole her childhood.
I strongly suggest you, her parents and handlers hide the cutlery
If she continues to collect money, yeah. Look at Chelsea Clinton.
Yeah, you’re not getting me to watch it.
How dare you!
Oh I don’t know. I’ll bet each and every one of them are thinking “You go girl! All these other leaders are faking it. I’m the only sincere one here other than you.”
The 5th Austrian World Summit, “one of the biggest environmental and climate summits in the world”, attended by multi-millionaires who flew in on their private jets, traveled to and from the conference via limousine, and stayed in five-star hotels. And what would a climate conference be without Scoldilocks, The Doom Pixie herself? Like Banquo’s ghost on an ultra HD screen, shaking a bloody finger at those in attendance, scolding them for not heeding her. Going on a rant about millionaires, billionaires, and those who are only interested in profits, etc. You know, the very same people who have funded her little jaunts all around the world. A mentally ill teenager who is basically a shut-in, dresses like a 10-year-old, has never worked a day in her life, and who has no educational background whatsoever, is FURIOUS that world leaders are not doing what SHE tells them to do? That they’re just USING her and her “movement” as a prop to score political points? News flash, sweetheart; that’s EXACTLY what they’re doing, and that’s EXACTLY what they ALWAYS do. You’re only JUST figuring that out? Obviously those 150+ weeks of “school strikes” aren’t exactly doing wonders for your education.
Greta’s back, and no one really seems to care.
Perhaps they’re sick of being lectured by an uneducated teenager who knows nothing but thinks she knows it all?
One teenager: middle aged climate skeptics threatened…
OMG – just suppose there were two of them!
Can’t you at least attempt to say something intelligent?
This is about hypocrisy
We here are not hypocrites, except for you and a couple others
OMG you are one of her 15 fans she has, defending her climate nonsense, oh she is correct about their hypocrisy in the video but she is flat wrong about the climate and the caterwauling over it.
There is NO climate emergency going on that is the LIE you, the well paid warmist scientists the media and government officials promote every day
You couldn’t address what Willis Eschenbauch pointed out in his post Where is the climate emergency? neither has warmist/alarmists been able to handle it in several forums I posted it in.
YOU and Greta have the same problem, you can’t address the truth about the climate.
That’s not the only problem they share and it may be no coincidence. Upon repeated exposure to it, that one is easy to diagnose, even over the internet.
I spy with my little eye – something beginning with A.
But Griff there have been two of them. And they are published, produced and promoted world wide causing real scientists to scratch their heads wonder why nobody in the Propaganda Press will give them the same attention. Hmmm.
I have a thought griff why don’t you buy a copy of “No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference”, which might drive its sales up to double digits, and provide for everyone on WUWT a critical review of the childish screed. Make sure to explain what content within the book is so revelatory that it has garnered so much attention from the WORLDWIDE PRESS!
I would like to know why anyone should read a book about Climate Change written by a 16 year old girl who has absolutely no scientific background aside from being scared to death by a documentary produced by an ex-politician whose sole scientific education was 1 class in Earth Science for which he achieved a Politician’s Son “Gentleman’s C.” Now that part truly is an inconvenient truth.
Gosh, when you put it that way, it sounds so incredibly ridiculous!
OMG – griff wants a threesome!
griff.. we laugh at her childish antics.
Like we do at your inane, dumb comments.
She is no more of a threat than you are. Of zero consequence.
In fact, her continued “carrying-on” probably helps the realists.
I’ll have you know griff aka Egriff is a rock star over at the Guardian.
OMG Griff posted on WUWT we are all threatened .. Get a life dropkick.
There are two of them.
She is one. You are #2.
Why would anyone feel threatened by someone who screams about how we need to dismantle the industrial economy that has given us a long and healthy and comfortable life?
By someone who says we need to give away all our vaccines to people who do not make any, until all of them have had a dose first?
By a person who goes on world tours urging legions of school children to do as she has done and drop out?
By a mollycoddled hypocrite who advocates for everyone to live lives of abject poverty, deprivation, and spartan austerity, while she herself lives high on the hog whilst travelling on world tours, yachting hither and yon as she pleases, never seems to wear the same (always high end and expensive) clothes twice, and eats a smorgasbord of yummy treats while starving wretches look on in misery…too weak from starvation to even beg for a dry crust crumb or moldy scrap for themselves?
Nope, no one is, because she is just another yammering stingy narcissist with delusions of sainthood.
And she sure looks as sad as she claims to be when she whines about her “stolen childhood”.
Not!
Do these words really come from this little activist bug who knows so much about global economics, international politics, and physics, topics about which she speaks with such rudeness? Is there no one behind her? I wonder.
I do not wonder that.
If you ignore her blather about climate, she is 100% correct about hypocrisy in world leaders.
All hypocrites all the time
The show is over. Mad clapping.
They have done nothing, other than spend public money in order to burn forests and make large, ugly, useless, bird killing, wind mills.
And, shall we clap for their assistance in the creation of the Chinese Mordor?
The fruit of elitist globalism has been pestilence.
But as the show wraps up, there has been good things happening in the world.
The Industrial Revolution continue to advance, Space Age begins, which will have a side effect of moving Earth’s industry, off world.
Blade Runner is coming late.
LA didn’t fit the dream- but we do have the wind mills and solar panels which can serve as symbolic relics.
Just wait until the first bucketload of billionaires blows up on the launch pad, or burns up on re-entry.
That will put at least a temporary end to people paying enough to buy a house to fly to the very near edge of what some people but not others consider space, and staying there for just long enough to do a weightless somersault or three before turning around and coming right back again.
By George, I think she’s got it!
“The show is over”
Darn! And just when I finally laid in a good supply of popcorn. Lotta hording going on. You know who you are.
Greta is growing up and finally accepting reality – nothing will be done. She’s going to have a very frustrating life as she grows older and continues to see that the world continues on with very little real change. Hopefully, at some point, she also realizes that she was lied to about the “climate emergency”.
I wonder when she will realise that in fact its only for show, and there really isn’t a climate crisis…
…How Dare they!
You are three years older and still have not accomplished anything of value.
Please just go away.
I got to 4mins 11 seconds. Did anyone beat that? Come on now, no fibbing.
I noticed if I click the slide bar at the bottom of the video every 3 1/2 seconds until the end, she makes a lot of sense. hahahahahaha!
Don’t drink any more, Joe. 🙂
I beat it by 4 minutes and 11 seconds.
No fibbing.
Tom Wolfe called it, years ago. She is Mau-Mauing the flak catchers.
“…from Kikuyu mau-mau, sound of the voracious gobbling of a hyena.”
attacking everyone and everything is as useful as attacking nobody . if she’s so passionate about keeping fossil fuel in the ground why not do something at “home ” about next door neighbor Norway , the Saudi Arabia of Europe with one of the worlds biggest fossil fuel industries , drilling away in the delicate arctic . ? if she has any real intelligence she must realize she needs some specific goals if she is to accomplish anything . she seems to be all about showmanship, intoxicated by her own self importance . why actually try to do anything when she gets so much attention for empty rhetoric ?
But the reality is that, according to the paleoclimate record and the work done with models, the climate change we have been experiencing is caused by the sun and the oceans over which mankind has no control. Despite the hype, there is no real evidence that CO2 has any effect on climate and there is plenty of scientific rationale to support the conclusion that the climate sensitivity of CO2 is zero. Hence all the efforts to reduce CO2 emissions will have no effect on global climate. It is all a matter of science. Mankind does not even know what the optimum global climate actually is let alone how to achieve it. Hence there are no known actions to take that will lead to an improved global climate. I hope that Greta has been able to go back to school and to get more then just a very basic ” general science” science education.
I suspect she’s now in the same boat as Mann and Hansen.
She’ no longer useful for “The Cause” (which was never about climate) but they can’t admit that she and they are full of it without weakening the CAGW lever they’ve used to gain power.
So they sit and listen to her while looking at their watches wondering when she’ll shut up.
They keep paying Mann’s legal fees.
They just ignore Hansen and his calls for more nuclear power.
They can’t tear down their old “poster child”‘s without admitting the drive to control Mankind via the Man’s-CO2-emmissions lever is, and always has been, bogus.
Without the threat of avoiding the “C” (catastrophe!) in CAGW, who would vote for what they propose and do?
Nobody HAD to sit there and take it. They lapped it up with a spoon, this ugly little troll belching fake climate venom.
Why would anyone squirm….😳
Well of course they applaud Greta’s scolding, for “not moving fast enough”. They DO want to move faster, but are restrained by “political” consequences. Like the participants of a cultish group session, they feel invigorated after the rousing by the cult leader.
Gee Greta, Leaders have always only pretended to act. Pretended to believe in the global warming scam. How did you not notice that before you launched your activist career?
You seem to actually believe in the scam, which makes you an anomaly among activists. Take the trouble to investigate your fellow activists – you’ll find they’re all hypocrites and non-believers too.
I didn’t last 60 seconds.
That adult woman was simply too much. The other adults[?] in attendance need their heads examined.
Let’s just start calling her Karen.
Who knows. Greta Thunderbug could become the skeptics greatest asset.
Time will pass and the world won’t end. Greta’s future is going to contain some interesting surprises, I’d say.
