Greens eating their own – can anybody ever be green enough for Greta?
Mocking Biden’s build back better;
Greta Thunberg mocks Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ climate plan
Dylan Stableford·Senior Writer
Sat, September 25, 2021, 2:20 AMSpeaking at a climate rally in Berlin on Friday, Greta Thunberg mocked President Biden’s attempt to address climate change through his “Build Back Better” agenda.
“As we move out of the pandemic, many are talking about using this as an opportunity for a green sustainable recovery, whatever that means,” the 18-year-old Swedish activist said. “And world leaders are talking about ‘building back better,’ promising green investments and setting vague and distant climate targets in order to say that they are taking climate action.”
In his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, Biden announced that the United States would double its financial contributions to help developing nations combat and adapt to climate change.
…
“The fact that we are in a crisis that we cannot build, buy or invest or way out of seems to create some kind of collective mental short-circuit among the people in power,” Thunberg said. “And the longer they pretend that we can solve the climate crisis within today’s system, the more invaluable time we will lose.”

New Zealand Prime Minster Jacinda Ardern also received criticism.
Greta Thunberg takes another swipe at Jacinda Ardern’s response to climate change
By Stuff
2:56pm Sep 26, 2021Greta Thunberg, the originator of the global School Strike for Climate movement, has taken a fresh swipe at New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern for a lack of action over climate change.
In an interview with The Guardian, Ms Thunberg said she can’t think of any politician who has impressed her.
When asked about Ms Ardern, Ms Thunberg said New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions haven’t fallen.
“It’s funny that people believe Jacinda Ardern and people like that are climate leaders. That just tells you how little people know about the climate crisis,” she said.
“Obviously the emissions haven’t fallen. It goes without saying that these people are not doing anything.”
…
Climate Change Minister James Shaw said Ms Thunberg is correct to say New Zealand’s emissions haven’t yet decreased.
“That is why the work our Government is doing is so important – and clearly we have a lot of work to do,” Mr Shaw told Stuff on Sunday.
“This is a marathon effort involving every minister and every part of Government.”

For once I agree with Greta.
President Biden, New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern, how can you look your supporters in the eye and continue mouthing your empty climate promises?
Until you turn CO2 emissions in your countries around, we shall continue to print Greta’s harsh criticisms of your climate incompetence and utter lack of progress.
Just as soon as we finish laughing.
Greta’s parents (and all parents for that matter) should be telling their offspring –
“The only climate change you will notice in your lifetime will be Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring”
Oh, that’s not quite correct. There are some places in the world, Rayong Thailand comes to mind, where they only have 2 seasons, Hot and Hotter. 🙂
They say that Addis Ababa has spring like climate all year around
Google Addis Ababa climate (NOAA data), click ‘graphs’
Be careful how much you laugh, it expels more CO2 than breathing alone
It’s probably a good/bad way to spread Covid. Come on pols ban laughing!
Ours already have in Australia, I think it is the first rule in to politicians handbook, “Thou shall not mock the Dictator!”
Laugh now because CDs…Climate Deniers…will be sent to re-education camps…to knock some climate sense into them…it’s the CCP method.
Greta- “…the longer they pretend that we can solve the climate crisis within today’s system…”
—-
That should tell anyone all they need to know about Ms. Thunberg’s handlers.
Spot on
Same with San Diego
My brother called the two seasons in Venezuelan oil district he worked in “hot and dry”, and hot and constant rain.
Or Arkansas, where during the winter we can have all four in one day.
In Tasmania, it’s 4 seasons in one day every day of the year!
I had no idea Tasmania was so close to Britain!!!
and in Victoria all within 1 hr;-/
In Wales there are only two weather patterns. Raining, or about to rain…
I’m waiting for her to have a go at her own parents any time now, and justifiebly too.
Vuk,
You may not fully appreciate the situation . . . her parents were the one’s coaching Greta from the get-go.
What . . . you think she was knowledgeable enough to generate her “talking points” regarding climate change on her own when, in late 2015 at age 15, she first received world-wide attention for protesting “climate change”?
Also, do you really think Greta could get a paying job with her current skill set, if she really did “have a go at her parents” at age 18???
They are now only ones left not to find themselves yet at the sharp end of her tongue, and they well deserve it. They should be behind bars for
psychological and mental abusee of a handicapped child.
That is unlikely if they are writing her scripts.
I can’t wait for the Doom Goblin to start chastising herself.
“How dare I!?”
Is it just me, or does she look as though she’s just about to laugh and say “fooled ya!” in that photo?
There is some climate change at multidecadal time scales, but it’s hardly noticable for average humans. If you travel to another climate zone, you will notice significant climate change.
Yes, and there are a lot of climates to choose from – more than 30 discrete climates around the planet, according to people who have studied such things for centuries.
We’re spoiled for choice as to which climates we wish to experience usual changes in.
Greta needs to go back to school. She’s in adult world now, get an education Greta, until then, STFU.
Greta is the spiritual leader of the new radical climate movement, so do not underestimate her. The good news is that what they want is impossible, which is slowly becoming apparent. It would be bad if she were reasonable.
. . . and the bad news is what will Greta have to say five years from now as the Earth has lost 0.5 C in average global temperature due to the on-coming equivalent of another Little Ice Age?
She’ll say climate change is worse than we thought, of course. Never stray from the narrative.
“what will Greta have to say five years from now as the Earth has lost 0.5 C in average global temperature due to the on-coming equivalent of another Little Ice Age?”
Probably that we should have done something and everything is bad because we didn’t do something and now we really have to do something RIGHT NOW.
“Damn! I should have just flown on the plane instead of doing that sailboat thing with those nuts!
You mean she’s their Dumbla Liema?
What they want, doesn’t have anything to do with climate.
As though declaring something a “fact” as a preface to you claims ever made it so.
Fact: you’re right. Really
It’s only a “crisis” at the moment, but as noted before, they have plenty of other adjectives in the cupboard, chaos, breakdown, disaster, catastrophe, armageddon, emergency!!! They’d better put their thinking caps on, as they’ll soon wear those out just as they have done with “crisis”!!!
Greta does not need to go to school just as Biden does need no brain.
Both were selected as perfermors.As long as they can move their lips and read some text everything is fine.
Greta was “discovered” by a friend (or shall i say comrade tovarish)of Al Gore.
Oh amazing coincidence.
A year before she was “discovered” her mother became WWF ‘s person of the year.
(Another amazing coincidence as coincidental as bushs father and son and trudeau father and son becoming presidents, or that both presidential candidates 2004(kerry,bush) were members of skull and bones in the 60ies).
And before that 100 years ago it was,i think,her grandpa who already promoted global warming.
Her job is simply to brainwash the youth.Same with AOC.
And Greta is nothing more than a copy of Severn Suzuki from 29 years ago.
They even recycled the speech of Suzuki(except the ” i have no agenda” part as this would have been too obvious)
and even the backgroundstory (brave little girl travels thousands of miles on her own to save the world at the UN)was recycled the same way they recycled the ice age scares for AGW.
The chances for average joe to go to the UN and to get a chance to speak incl. a massive media presence is as high as for a 13 year old girl to go to a Hollywood party and to be admitted.The chance is zero but it still happened to the little girl that was raped by Roman Polanski.
The girl was not by accident there – it was planned,but not by her.
Greta’s great grandfather Svante did not “promote” global warming, he did some of the early science on the relationship (ceteris paribus) between CO2 and temperature.
It was my understanding however that Arrhenius thought the projected increase in global temperatures would be beneficial.
Okay. Everybody that gives 2 squats what Greta Thunberg thinks, please stand up.
Greta sit down!
Greta will become rich from this scam…you will see.
Her parents probably already have.
That was really painful to watch her lack of education is clear, very naive and unable to articulate her cause. Her parents should realise that the left will eventually turn on her leaving her with no useful life skills when she no longer serves their cause.
Another temper tantrum from the ‘climate change’ tyro? I’d like to hear what behind-closed-doors comments feeble Joe Biden had to say about that little ankle biter….
Where’s my pudding?
Isn’t it time for my nap?
If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding…
How can you have pudding if you don’t eat your meat?
Would Joe Biden eat meat if he knew the green fanatics might find out?
Wrong, do it again.
He’d only be interested in sniffing her hair
her hair?
Yes, try searching for Biden videos of him sniffing girls hair
There’s plenty of room for her in the #FJB movement.
In all likelihood, Joe would most likely wonder what ice cream flavor Greta prefers.
I’m the president of the USA? When did that happen?
I second the suggestion that Joe says, “Can I sniff her hair?”
Except that he never has asked permission for his pervy fetish.
I wonder what her hair smells like.
Ha! Posting under a fake name. Can’t fool us, Joe. Now get back in your basement.
😜
:0
“Hey! You’re not supposed to bite my ankles! You’re supposed to rub the hair on my legs!”
Greta talks to Biden:
An overindulged teenager “lashes out” at a country with less than 1/1000th of the world’s population, a remote, island country that derives an unusually high percentage of its electricity from hydro and geothermal — but that’s not pure enough for St. Greta?
She’s only a high school dropout, but elementary school students all over the world know a drop in the bucket when they see one. It doesn’t speak well for ANYONE that this latest tirade is taken for anything more than a case of derangement.
Also, she probably sees Jacinda as competition for the ‘Queen of Green’ crown.
I take her very seriously. She is the spiritual leader of a mass movement that puts millions into the street in protest. The good news is this radical movement is wrecking the carefully orchestrated plans of the alarmists in power. I enjoy watching the internal green struggle. Go Greta! Hit them harder.
If GT wants to come visit the USA, I can show her a dozen issues needing corrective actions of greater importance than climate change. Actually, I do not regard the CO2-AGW scam as something needing action, there are dozens of dozens of other problems of interest.
[I’m not a fan of photos of people with silly grins. People are often told to exaggerate saying “CHEESE” when being photographed. They look empty headed.]
This photo could be on a movie poster for upcoming horror/thriller entitled simply…. ‘Greta‘. Hitchcockian twist on the devil-child concept. I know, I know…‘The Bad Seed’ and others have already been produced but there’s room for more. ‘Greta’, soon in a theater near you.
Her head spins around and a creepy voice says “your mother emits carbon dioxide in hell.”
Some folk have a problem faking sincerity.
Let her walk the streets of downtown Chicago at midnight, any night, and see how worried about climate change she is.
“Let her walk the streets of downtown Chicago at midnight”
She’d be attacked by Jussie Smollett wearing a red ball cap & shouting, “Where’s my Subway?”
I still think it is cruel to use some poor uneducated girl with Aspergers to shill for greens. Some of them know better, while she probably does not.
Yes, … as the adult life outcomes for “former child, and youth stars” is often abysmal. Too much attention, too much adulation, and too much luxury. And little to no psychological assets to adapt to the eventual precipitous end of all of that. The same day none of your “handlers” will accept your calls, texts, and emails anymore.
She is smart, isn’t she!
Not only far much smarter than Griff, but far much smarter than Tonny, and the … fodder, there, for the cannons.
On, or in the most basic ever foolish flavour ever to be considered… as validation of clarity!!!
🖕
✌
🤯
She certainly smarts, but that’s not the same as being smart.
Sorry, but got to say it…
smarter… than most!
True but mayfly’s, termites, ants and the rest of the ‘most’ aren’t especially renowned for being smart. Being smarter than a mayfly isn’t, apparently, a compliment.
I think whiten was referring to Mr. and his rather clever play on words.
Let me fix it for you …. Smarter than the average greentard but still very much on the spectrum.
People like Greta, Ardern and Shaw contine to talk about ‘the climate crisis’ as though it’s some well established, undeniable fact.
There is no climate crisis. They ignore actual data that flies in the face of their claims that the climate is getting more extreme, we’re all to blame, and tell us ‘the science’ informs their decision making.
All this nonsense they spout goes completely unchallenged by practically everyone (thank God for sites like this one), including our opposition here in NZ. Anybody who dares to point out the emperor has no clothes on is decried as some kind of denier, and meanwhile our government continues on its merry way wrecking our country.
‘Stuff’, the source of that article, have outright told us they will not allow comment in their stories from anybody who questions ‘the science’ on climate.
We may not be wrecking things fast enough for Greta, but our leaders are still wrecking things at a fair clip.
To my mind, this climate nonsense really is settled. All I want to know is how to get our leaders to change course before they do something we’re all really going to regret.
/rant.
I watched on and off for several years the ships offloading blades and turbine parts on the central Texas Coast at Harbor Island where there used to be an oil supply company. Texas freeze problem no surprise, we heard early about the wind dying. Now there is an impressive bigger ship with four cranes that carefully unload the blades and then they are moved out on really long trucks.
Texas coast often has relatively warm winters. Let us hope, but again may not be another surprise. I tell my engineer friends that it is all their professions’ fault. If they hadn’t more or less kept gasoline motors going with ethanol and even much less so far with renewables we would have been forced to have already solved the problem for better or worse. They don’t appreciate it, but understand. It will happen, did before on a much lesser scale.
Anybody who dares to point out the emperor has no clothes on is decried as some kind of denier …
That picture from Greta in the article reminds me a picture of the Barock times, only the ladies painted at these times have more expressive faces.
I just don’t find the right example.
this?
No – her handlers won’t allow her to wear lipstick yet!
She looks to freindly on that painting, for the rest :thumb up:
Uh, identifies as a girl? A boy king?
To me it looks like she’s just about to laugh and say “fooled ya!”
Greta needs to be asked what the solution is. She must know because she’s telling others what they are doing wrong.
She’s happiest when complaining, but as everyone knows at WUWT the only solutions to the supposed climate problem end with billions dead.
“the only solutions to the supposed climate problem end with billions dead.”
Yes! And also:
the only solutions to the supposed climate problem will come when the billion$ end.
After one big public fail, did she not just like Joe Biden no longer accept questions ?
Nuclear power would be expensive but tolerable.
Greta doesn’t like nuclear though, she prefers getting rid of capitalism as the solution to climate change.

I might have a tiny bit of respect for Greta if she were as strident towards the PRC as she is toward western countries. The PRC is already the world’s largest producers of CO2. If they continue building coal fired power plants at their current rate, anything the US and NZ could do would not slow down the global increase in CO2, let alone reduce it.
If Greta could recognize that CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas (compared to H2O) and necessary for life to exist on this planet she might actually be able to focus on something important.
Her handlers have already schooled her in the “don’t mention China” dogma.
Mentioning China takes the wind out of their sales in western countries.
China is already communist, why would she complain about them? The goal is world communism after all.
Fake, Rich. Invalid… no matter how smart you may be or not… it still happens to be fake and not valid.. Davis!!!
You are a floater Rich, as far as I can tell.
Maybe me wrong, or whatever… but still!
A floater? What does that mean?
Gambling… with fate.
whiten was posting while drunk, again…
I always thought it was one of those that you just couldn’t flush…
My dear Whiten! Not even a cheers!?
Perhaps you read more into my comment than was intended. It is Grrrreta’s goal (more precisely her handlers’ goal) to destroy our civilization and replace it with communism (socialism, fascism, whatever left-wing anti-liberty anti-market “ism” you want to call it).
This doesn’t mean that I am saying that all of the Green Blob are in it for building world socialism. Most are pursuing their own selfish interests, whether engorging themselves on subsidies, advancing careers and the like.
But with the Grrrrrrreta Show, it’s all about destroying capitalism.
Rich, for better or worse,
still got to say, Greta far ahead, of you Rich!
How have I offended you Whiten? I have never intended to do so. If you think my assessment of GT is wrong, I respect your right to disagree.
cheers!
Rich… you have not offended me… far from it. 🙂
WUWT does not comply fairly… any more… Rich.
Very, painful, when “dear” got to be considered.
You are senseless.
I’m always amazed by how many “intellectuals”, who consider themselves bright, support socialism in one form or another. Don’t they follow history?
It used to be chic to be a ComSymp or Socialist, sort of proving one reads and cares. But the people who espouse this love of Socialism have never lived in a Socialist/Communist country. I have Ukrainian friends who left Ukraine because they have no love of Communism or Socialism. I love to hear them go on about it and how happy they are to be in a free country.
I have several friends who grew up in the USSR. Without exception, apart from their strong affection for ‘Mother Russia’, they would never go back. Compared to most places in the West, it had little to recommend it.
We have a large Russian/Ukrainian community here in Portugal. They came here to enjoy Western freedoms and they take full advantage of them. And they fully integrate into life here, speaking Portuguese fluently, English too.
“intellectuals” love socialism because it’s a political system where they can inflict their policies and solutions on the ‘uneducated’ populace. A little more difficult in a democratic/capitalist society.
In other words, hubris seems to be a common affliction of socialist “intellectuals”.
They think that the modern educated elite has enough understanding to run complex systems and industries without making the same mistakes of the past. They don’t believe that there will be corruption, both individually and organizationally. They don’t understand that it is the overriding or stifling of human ingenuity and industriousness that leads to systematic long-term failures of top-down control, whether socialism, communism, fascism, Marxism, crony capitalism & etc. They don’t understand that a remote elite can never understand the facts on the ground such that their attempts to control human nature are consistently failures. They believe that the ruling class is as honest and benevolent as themselves.
That was Marx’ problem … he hadn’t a clue about what motivates humans (not to mention his utter lack of understanding about economics). To paraphrase Ronald Regan; ‘socialists know a whole lot that isn’t true’.
Fought with this question for years. I think there is really only one answer: greed.
Man evolved, as did many mammals, to live in family units. There is a ‘hierarchy of care’. Self and family, first, followed by friends who in some way contribute. The duty of care decreases as you get further removed.
Except for the gullible youth with no life experience, most everyone’s choices can be explained by that. If a person supports socialism, it’s because they believe it will best benefit them. Either they plan to be among those in power, or they fear they would not do well under a capitalistic meritocracy, and they want to be ensured of their ‘fair share’.
Even greed, itself, is an evolutionary trait. Greed ensures that the hierarchy of care can be continued in the future.
This concept is why governments are failing so badly with the kungflu ‘plandemic’. They have corrupted the “duty of care” beyond what our legal system allows. In effect, my duty of care to you ends at common courtesy and tolerance. It does not include making you feel safe. Socialists have some sort of mistaken belief in an altruistic duty, in which I must keep you well and happy … both spiritually and economically.
You’re right Rich. When she says, “within today’s system,” it’s all about overthrowing capitalism and free markets and replacing it with communism.
Yes, they say and believe that with a straight face, even though everyone knows what a great Green utopia China and North Korea are, and the Soviet Bloc was.
Rich, never try to engage the whittens of the world in rational dialogue. They are here for the fun of it and each has his own deranged method of disrupting productive Threads.
She did criticise China a few times. Chinese media responded by effectively called her an ignorant puppet, suggesting her autism and youth made her very susceptible to manipulation..
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/05/11/china-suggests-greta-thunberg-is-an-ignorant-political-puppet/
One can say what one likes about the Chinese, but they are not stupid.
The Chinese were absolutely and demonstrably correct about GT.
Greta likes the ChiComs because she mistakenly believes they practice Democratic Socialism.
The child needs psychiatric help.
Her parents really should be prosecuted for child abuse.
Well that’s what happens when you aren’t allowed to spank brats.
And for all the dyslectic readers here –
“you can’t bank sprats” either.
(I once took a bucketful of sprats to deposit at my bank, but the teller said – Mr., you need to take those to the fish market. Just follow your nose”)
Where’s my coat?
😎
I hate having to ask, but was misspelling dyslexic an intentional part of the gag?
Not really Rory.
I was informed by this –
dyslectic
dys·lex·ic (dĭs-lĕk′sĭk) or dys·lec·tic (-tĭk)
n.
A person who is affected by dyslexia.
adj.
Of or relating to dyslexia.
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/dyslectic
You were clearly misinformed. Using dyslectic is a misunderstanding of the conventions of a suffix following an X, eg.: ataxia – ataxic
As adjectives the difference between dyslexic and dyslecticis that dyslexic is of or pertaining to dyslexia while dyslectic is dyslexic.
As nouns the difference between dyslexic and dyslecticis that dyslexic is a person who has dyslexia while dyslectic is dyslexic.
~WikiDiff~
Rory, as a card-carrying pedant, I bow to your superior prowess.
Careful where you use that word. I was nearly cancelled over on YouTube for calling someone a “pedant”. In this modern, PC world, words are taking on a dangerous life of their own 🙂
I know Rory.
At a dinner party, talking about what people from various little-known countries around the world are called, I innocently asked what people from Niger are called.
A lady there said – “that is uncalled for. They’re obviously called Nigerians”.
The room just got dumber at that moment.
Oh my 🙂 … exercising patience is requiring far too much energy these days – tragic isn’t it.
Sorry to reveal my ignorance, but exactly what are people from Niger called?
It’s an especially dangerous word to use if your are dyslexic…
Yes indeed … ‘therein be dragons‘
Using the word “pedant” is OK with me.
Are their any near homophones you can think of that have an entirely different meaning?
It would seem that meaning is in the ear of the beholder anymore.
(I remember a few years ago that someone used the word “niggardly” correctly and in the right context.
He was crucified for it by the usual groups looking for a reason to be offendex … er… offended. 😎
In reality, meaning is a combination of the formal, dictionary definition combined with context and inference. I well remember several incidents of people using “ni**ardly” properly and getting the same reaction you mentioned. It’s almost an archaic word now. It people mean stingy they say stingy.
Sadly; the current PC attitude is: their right to take offense supersedes your right to speak, regardless how correct. Feelings are now more powerful than anything else … the law, science or reason itself.
“To offend is indefensible!” no matter how innocent the intention of the speaker or the meaning of the words used.
Reminds me of, “ I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant”.Or, paraphrase:
“ I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I’m not sure you realize that what you choose to be offended by is not what I meant”
There you go … got it in one! What concerns me is that judges are actually going for this nonsense. “Misgender” some dude, because he’s got a beard, chest hair and a voice deeper than James Earl Jones and the judge throws the book at you because the dude is “transitioning” and his feewing were hurt … or it embarrassed him. Since when do judges get to rule on matters of science? “The “dude” is running a scam here, judge.”
Whoever came up with the spelling for dyslexic was a sadist.
No one “came up with” the spelling. It merely follows a convention for words ending in ‘X’ … like: ataxia – ataxic … paradox — paradoxical
Blame English for adopting so many foreign words.
One could argue that English is just foreign words. The main difference from other languages is that the borrowing was from so many very different languages.
Chomsky argued that English is a “Creole language”, a language ‘invented’ by children and used as their native language. It’s a form that no single group can claim … excepting the children. You’re right, they pieced it together from a wide selection of “parts”, refining, modernizing and improving it by removing uncooperative inflection, clumsy and unnecessary syntax and streamlining many spellings. While the literate adults were living in a virtual ‘Tower of Babel’, the kids spoke their own lingua franca.
The only real problem with English was that it was such a cooperative, easy language to use, it went on absorbing new words via the original route. Each new addition reacquired its own troublesome “mannerisms” … not to mention new conventions to suit each new addition. Kids have little trouble with it until the adults misunderstand the rules.
I’ve heard t said that English is the easiest language to speak and write badly, but the most difficult to do so well.
That’s pretty much it in a nut shell.
“Not only does the English Language borrow words from other languages, it sometimes chases them down dark alleys, hits them over the head, and goes through their pockets”
I’m aware of that, Rory. It was a joke, one used often around my house. My wife is dyslexic.
I gathered that … but as Mr. suggested I can’t resist the opportunity to be pedantic. And alas … my irony font appears to be broken (and comes across as smart ass).
Why is ‘dyslexic’ so difficult to spell?
Why is ‘lisp’ so difficult to say if you have one?
Good questions … but I’m unthertain of the anther.
As a comedian once queried, “Why isn’t ‘phonics’ spelled phonetically?”
That’s one of those spazy croonerisms.
My favourite us Cupid Stunt, a wonderful character created by the late great Kenny Everett.
And cunning stunts.
I can’t wait for Joe Biden to try that on his teleprompter.
Whenever anyone mentions Biden’s “unique” speaking style, my sympathy goes out to the poor guy trying to sign it for the hearing impaired.
Well, anyone that thinks a Biden speech makes sense was deaf and dumb to begin with.
(Apologies to those who are physically deaf or dumb.)
That was sort of my point. He was never a great speaker. Now it’s just gibberish.
There is consequences, to be considered … with approval, regardless of clause of waiting.
Choose wisely… please…monkeys! 🙉

The coincidence of 12 monkeys and covid seems to have passed you by.
whiten does seem more and more like a bot most of the time
Definitely tunks the Fluring test, as far as I can see.
Greta is quoted as stating:
Ahhh . . . the ignorance of an 18 year old child.
Well, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway have decided to just live with Covid, another upper respiratory virus like colds and influenza. So they are moving away from the pandemic nonsense. I fervently hope the rest of Europe will follow suit.
And how about multi-culturalism? That isn’t turning out so well.
She’s like the girl in The Crucible “you’re a witch” and “you’re a witch ” and ” you’re a witch “
The best thing Biden could do is set up a charity to fund Greta going to study for an Engineering degree, or one in the relatively uncorrupted fields of science, as far away from politics and global warming as can be found.
At 18, she has already missed out on far too much education.
The greens have a civil war on their hands. Radicals versus moderates. Greta is a major spiritual leader of the radicals. See my:
https://www.cfact.org/2019/09/28/is-climate-alarmism-tearing-itself-apart/
Now two years old.
With luck this war will paralyze COP26, just as it did COP25.
I think she is smart girl and don’t really care about climate.
It was an article recently that Greta donate $100k to something (don’t remember) from her own saved money.
My kids don’t have that sort of pocket money.
I doubt very much it was her own saved money. Her handlers set up the ‘Greta Thunberg Foundation’ a few years ago so she can make these personal empty gestures using other people’s money.
Poor Greta, and likewise derogators, they (her best friends) simply do not know what is going on :
B3W – G7’s “Build Back Better World” is something far beyond their ken, yet in your face in plain sight.
This is the Quad statement (US,UK,Oz,India,…) against China’s BRI – a serious development program, in fact the largest of all history!
Strange how the Greta-crowd and the high finance crowd set a pre-established harmony, entirely arbitrary, tattered from previous failed ambitions (MacKinder) while the world moves on.
Mocking greenies is an effective tactic. Greta makes it easy.
Greata is far far much smarter than you, silly stupid…. Farm boy… Rud!.
Believe it or not… faithless×××@!!!!!
You just posited an hypothesis.
Any evidence?
She hasn’t shown any.
Is the evidence Mann’s emails?
Greata …. is that like a person who Greets you?
You probably need to lay off the booze when posting.
Scoldilocks is always good for a larf. Single handedly, this dysfunctional twerp has ended the educational prospects and aspirations of so many children, and has influenced too many of the morons in positions of power.
Dang she is evil looking. Why does anybody give her the time of day including this site?
I bet Greta has not changed her life style, heck no, as long as she is scolding every one else, she gets off the hook.
Cute Kid
whenever I see Greta I am reminded of what my self Sainted Grandmother called precocious children – “little snots”
When will people stop listening to that disillusioned teenager with aspbergers syndrome ?
She has a diagnosis that means she gets things on her head. She would say the same if the Dutch could go skating on their channels again already in November 10 years in a row.
Even more so if they skated on their canals…
Looks like any University campus in the West today.
Is there an age limit to becoming Swedish P.M.? Greta needs to lead.
Exactly. She should have a go. “Ms Thunberg said she can’t think of any politician who has impressed her.”
I think I would pay good money to see that, as long as it’s not my country, and she was not allowed advisors…
“President Biden, New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern, how can you look your supporters in the eye and continue mouthing your empty climate promises?”
Joe Biden supports making more nuclear powerplants. New Zealand small country and doesn’t emit much CO2.
Or if US makes more nuclear powerplants than New Zealand would pathway to make more nuclear powerplant- or it’s up to US to lead the world by making better and more nuclear powerplants- which is only immediate solution to lower CO2 emission, globally as quickly as possible.
The fundamental characteristic of Progressive come Marxists is the Never Enough mind state.
The political state could grant them everything they demand for today, and tomorrow it would not be enough and they’d demand more. It is part and parcel of how they end up eating their own. They are irrational. Progressivism is mental disorder.
The only rational response is to never, ever let them have access to real political power. They have now tasted real politcal power with COVID mandates and lockdowns and they are intoxicated on power now in the US, the UK, NZ, and Australia. The fight to get them back into their box is real, urgent, as they are now an existential threat for individual liberty and freedom.
And a little child with Asperger’s shall mislead …….er …..lead them er something !
High school dropout. FTFY.
Greta, like Joe Biden, AOC, and Canada’s Trudeau are puppets, … actors in a play where unknown “others” are writing their propaganda scripts. None are intellectually sound enough on their own to lead a Girl Scout troop (Sorry, “vagina possessing or claiming collective”) to the nearest McDonald’s.
Greta who?
Greta wants an overnight transformation of the entire energy system and anything less is wanting. Gee, kid that’s really not realistic, but then you never finished high school, right?
Neglecting the fact that CO2 DOES NOT WARM THE CLIMATE, her demands are a joke. Does she have a system with which to replace the systems that keep people alive currently?
Without a replacement to present, Greta is not better than BLM or Antifa, who just want to tear down the country and have no alternative to suggest. Alinsky, of the Rules for Radicals, wanted to destroy the country and even admitted that he had no replacement in mind, other than chaos.
And, I tell you what, what REALLY terrifies me is that she might start stamping her feet next!
Lets hope the floorboards have woodworm. Ground floor of course.
Yum yum: Mummy always told me to eat all the greens!
These ones are poisonous though.
But the greens are eating their own so ….
Ah yes. And that is also vegan cannibalism which should tear a hole in the space time continuum and they all get consumed by a black hole or the modern PC version which is a white supremacist hole. It’s a shame Terry Pratchett is no longer with us.
In the final scene of the 2008 version of The Day the Earth Stood Still, the Keanu Reeves character just shuts down the entire global energy system in an instant. I believe that is the sort of thing Greta Thunberg has in mind.
What exactly does this little grifting twit want? A return to hunter gather life style?
Please Greta, your 15 minutes ended a year ago, shut up, go back home, and spend the rest of your life living of government welfare assistance.
Greta seems to believe the root problem is evil capitalism, the focus on winner takes all and global resource exploitation. She wants a “fairer”, more redistributive system of economics and politics, but I don’t think she has gone into detail about exactly how her new system would work.
https://m.facebook.com/gretathunbergsweden/photos/a.733630957004727/793436521024170/?theater&hc_location=ufi
There is no “root cause” of evil in any financial/political system other that there are people involved. Greed, envy, lust for power, dishonesty, etc., etc., are common to all of Mankind.
At least free enterprise and capitalism is a system that needs to produce what the consumer needs or wants or the “filthy rich” will go broke. That means that the consumer must have the means to buy what is produced. Wages and jobs.
Involving Government in the system beyond health and safety? You have politicians that promise something for nothing to buy votes. Leave those who lust for power in power long enough, you get stuck with a Biden, an Obama, a Pelosi, etc. willing to trash The Constitution and The Bill of Rights to retain Power.
(Maybe they’ll even pack the branches of Government with employees’ who will not follow the Law but shield those who break the Law, go along with “weaponizing” areas of Government. Anybody remember Lois Learner?)
Greta diagnosing a “mental short-circuit” gave me a pretty good laugh.
Of course not — a one-trick pony has only one trick, and can never afford allies. As a performance artist, Greta is deliberately self-typecast as a whiny spoiled brat for the rest of her life.
“we are in a crisis that we cannot build, buy or invest or way out of”
So what’s her suggestion?
destroy all
eat worms
Greta’s theme song:
Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
Guess I’ll go eat worms.
Big fat juicy ones
Itty bitty skinny ones
See how they wiggle and squirm.
That would require planning and consideration … something not high for someone on the spectrum.
One of the problems with Greta is that she’s never travelled and has no idea of how much of the world lives outside her northern hemisphere industrialized area. She’s getting old and running out of puff.
Greta is like Biden: she spouts only what she has on the prompter.
Could be worse. They could be like Trump and spout the same nonsense in a sentence 16 times.
“They” ?
She spouts the exact same nonsense every time she speaks. There is no variation.
And Trump doesn’t? He tells the same lies over and over again. Stolen election… blah blah blah….
Like Russia colluuuusion 😉
Moron indeed.
What does Trump have to do with any of this?
“What does Trump have to do with any of this?”
It’s laughable Trump supporters call out Biden for his speeches, when Trump’s speeches are aimed at a 5 year old level of understanding. And even then some of his team can’t pick his lies.
“when Trump’s speeches are aimed at a 5 year old level of understanding”
That would explain why you can’t understand, above your head.
You’re the only one who mentioned Trump. You just can’t quit him.
Take the last shot…
Hahaha Russia colluuuusion…moron indeed
If only Greta had a real cause like one that would benefit.
Placating the volcano of her choice?
Sexy little minx. Dunno about global warming but I’ve got the hots for her.
that was the other thread about Gillian,
this thread is about the greta muppet.
Brent doesn’t get out much.
Maybe you need therapy?
Tell her only eat vegetables, cold.
Maybe she’ll get the hots for you?
So the Swede’s old enough for Playboy?
Wait for it.
Doubt it, her handlers are using her stature (4’11”) to extend the time they can portray her as a child in the media. Greenpeace and others had been trying to pull that off in the decade before Greta was presented to the media, they only have a limited shelf life. They might get a decade run with Greta, by them all today’s teenage activists will be having children of their own and will have no time for her. The likely plan for her is to follow in the footsteps of Severn Cullis-Suzuki, daughter of the multi-millionaire David Suzuki.
The local affiliates of the Climate Action Network (CAN) here in Ireland (Catholic charity Trocaire & Stop Climate Chaos, Friends of the Earth and An Taisce) have been very successful in hijacking the education system and have roped in quite few teenage girls that they present in the local media on climate change. An Taisce wrote the climate change curriculum for schools.
Ireland has also been inflitrated by the Postdam institute (PIK) showing up in Maynooth University and Ottmar Edenhofer sits on the government Climate Change Advisory Council quango. The national broadcaster RTE (BBC lite) take its lead from the Guardian using the same Climate newspeak.
They alarmists use Greta as a shield to avoid anyone challenging their dogma.
My real thought is that she will become a Green MEP.
As for the Playboy thing… Sweden isn’t as prudish as the USA.
I wouldn’t say “prudish”, rather most of us “deplorables” in the US still have some morals (and taste). 😎
You can never be enough of anything for the insane.
Scoldilocks on the prowl again, must have escaped her basement to find 15 more minutes of “Look at me I am a greenie whacko” exposure before she slinks back into the abyss.
Ardern will destroy NZ.
I assume that what Grets is saying is what her handlers are telling her to say. What she does not realize is the according to the paleoclimate record and the work done with models, on can conclude that the climate change we are experiencing today 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 any effort 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 all efforts and money expended to affect climate change is effort and money wasted.
The biggest lumps just keep floating to the top of the tank.
New Zealand CO2e emissions per capita are already half that of Australia, probably because NZ has easy available hydro & volcanic thermal for power generation (started many decades ago).
Australia exports a lot of food, fibre, coal & minerals which use fossil fuels so it slightly increases our emissions. There is a lot of room to reduce Australian emissions vs NZ but it may cost Australia more per CO2eT in some markets/areas/industries.
But I don’t expect Greta to understand science, economics, practicalities or fairness.
Currently, not all industries have the technical solutions to be net0.
Not all technical solutions have enough resources currently available to be feasible.
Not all technical solutions are currently economically feasible.
Not all technical solutions are currently time, space & labour feasible for rapid deployment.
Sometimes a technology promised to be economically feasible in 10 to 20yrs arrived 5yrs earlier than expected, but in many cases they take double the time & repeatedly pushed further into the future.
The question is also, has the climate changed as much as they expected? In most cases the answer is No, the >100yr changes have not been more extreme than the data manipulation/modelling. The promised emergencies don’t happen & we have more time to work out better & cheaper ways to change technologies or adapt.
Missing the Elephant in the Room
“As we move out of the pandemic…”
Greta has declared Pandemic OVER.
Throw away your masks. Roll down your sleeves. Greta has spoken!
Meanwhile the New Yorker interviews and promotes the Swedish eco-terrorist Prof Malm, author of “How to blow up a pipeline”, and who slashes SUV tyres for fun
https://www.rt.com/usa/535884-climate-new-yorker-violence/
It was absolutely heartbreaking for Ardern that, in order to keep the lights on, we had to import coal and run our sole remaining thermal power station. However, she realised the political cost of power outages quickly and has just had to grin and bear it. Although she is still the World’s darling, here she is losing support rapidly due to a mixture of lockdown fatigue and a raft of broken promises. Whenever she is questioned about these, her standard reply is, “We are thinking about it”. { political speak for – no idea }.
“The fact that we are in a crisis that we cannot build, buy or invest or way out of seems to create some kind of collective mental short-circuit among the people in power,” Thunberg said. “And the longer they pretend that we can solve the climate crisis within today’s system, the more invaluable time we will lose.”
Well then, the only solution to evil wicked Human activity is to adopt a Socialist lifestyle & the creation of a one-world Socilaist guvment, that will claim ownership of ALL the Wolard’s resources, & like good old fashioned Socialists, distribute that wealth as THEY see fit!!! Hey, lets all become Third World countries then we can all benefit, apparently!!! Oh I do like that sinister Orwellian expression “today’s system”,!!!
That sentence was not written by a HS drop out.
ardern closed down offshore oil/gas setups a while back
creating an income and fuel shortfall
would greta prefer they go whaling again I wonder?
daft bint
“…..That just tells you how little people know about the climate crisis”.
I know absolutely nothing about the climate crisis.
That’s because there isn’t one.
Chris
Whenever an imaginary problem arises,always ask a disturbed teenager for the solution!!!
Greta is too young, misguided, poorly educated and unskilled to be lecturing adults as if she has some magical insight. Of course adults are to blame for putting her in this position and keeping her there.
No doubt she’s a future AOC.
took a look at the Summer temps for the Arctic- http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/meant80n.uk.php this summer was slightly colder than 1958. In fact every summer has been around the same as 1958. Ice ain’t going anywhere soon.
Giving credence and platform to a teenager with questionable mental acuity that never completed basic schooling shows us where the MSM is today regarding AGW ….. along with many other subjects as well.
Who, by all the saints, thinks this psychotic child she is, that she dares to preach to halfway intelligent adults on the subject of “climate” as if they were fools?
She really doesn’t know anything about anything ! She is nothing more than a PR construct of greedy and ruthless parents and not the Maid of Orleans for the climate!
Stop fussing about this puppet!
For whatever it’s worth, I was tossed off of Facebook for a month for calling her an autistic freak. LOL
I just thought, if Greta could smile just a bit, she’d look like Mona Lisa
The hot air coming from Greta Thunderpants is enough to change the climate.
such a well educated drop out
Why do people give this individual any credit
she is unable to hold a sensible conversation when asked on panel forums
the sooner the world stops listening to her and gets on with surviving in the world we have the better
WHY is this brain damaged and abused POS the darling of the media? She can’t think, she can’t do anything but what she’s programmed to do, she can’t attend school, and her parents should have been jailed long ago for child abuse!
On reflection, a spoiled, emotionally disturbed child is the perfect global warming spokesperson.
