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.

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.
