Everyone seems to be missing the big story here, regarding the intellect of those on the left:
We have an adult human being, a grown man, an information industry professional, asking with all seriousness, OF A CHILD, a little girl who is notable more than anything else for dropping out of middle school and for having emotional and learning disabilities,…asking her imploringly…what shall we do (to solve all of these huge challenges facing our world and our civilization)!
And then awaiting expectantly her answer.
This is how intellectually bereft these nitwits are.
They look to uneducated teens for answers.
ok, it was a slip of the tongue and is mildly amusing.
The thing that really made me laugh is the watermelons are trying to force their views on the rest of us, bypassing democracy and Greta states:
democracy is the most precious thing that we have

“Let’s go Greta”! Climate crisis does not exist. At last some truth. Remember her favourite description of climate activism is it’s just so much blah, blah, blah, she is so right, maybe she is finally getting some education?

Maybe she could open up a side act as pronoun enforcer.
Well, also the fact that, when talking English, Swede’s have only a very light almost undetectable accent – I’ve noticed it with other Swedish people – the Muppets Swedish chef is not representative of a Swedish accent.

Why on earth are you editing these videos? You just lost all credibility (with me) in about 30 seconds. Great job.
You can shove your climate crisis up your @ur momisugly#!*.. 😉

I think Greta accidently makes a great point. You can’t ignore a real crisis. If your house was on fire, or you were starving for lack of food, or you are in Ukraine right now, could you ignore it and pretend there was no crisis? No you couldn’t because it would be staring you in the face. The fact that the climate crisis ‘doesn’t exist’ for the vast majority of people means it is not really a crisis. It is only a wannabe crisis, an empty scare tactic being exploited for political gain.

I am NOT AT ALL a fan of “the Greta”; and, even less a fan of her child-abusing-exploiting parents and misc grifting handlers; and, to complete the trifecta, I am even less a fan of the anti-liberty globalists and their dishonest efforts … in using faux AGW as an excuse to put an end to fair-free market capitalism.
HOWEVER, it did catch my ear when, regarding suggestions for addressing this problem — as fake and politically motivated such as it is — she refused to advocate for unilateral action; where, rather, she expressed strong support for democracy, our most precious resource.
IMO, her enviro fanaticism is a long way from being palatable, but, her response suggests to me that there may be some hope; that, just maybe, given time, she may see the light — there is NO LIGHT with enviro-whacko authoritarianism — and come over to the good side.
I hope she may come to see the light. However, when she says that leaders of countries that don’t comply should be stood up against the wall and forced to tow the line, it doesn’t sound much like democracy to me, but more like fascism.

Her words did not clearly express her thoughts, but her meaning was clear to me. If a “climate crisis” is not acknowledged no one will take action. That is true. She was not addressing whether there really is a climate crisis (she believes there is) but rather just stating that if no one believes it nothing will be done. Her words are more like “out of sight, out of mind”. Of course her solution will be to convince everyone that there really is a need for action.
Jumping on her misstatement as a Freudian slip is disingenuous and smacks of desperation.
And also, having the smart Jumpers spun till the end of days what she actually meant or not in that given answer of her, while in the same time the answer is a crystal clear;
The desperation is trying to find a major fault in such a minor misunderstood statement. She provides plenty of reasons to to be criticized so there is no need to reach for such a small thing. It cheapens the real issues with her.
If a “climate crisis” is not acknowledged no one will take action.
Since when is a crisis so invisible that people don’t acknowledge it? After 30 years of predicting that catastrophe is just around the corner, how is it that the climate crisis is still too invisible to see? At some point we have to conclude that the “crisis” isn’t real but was manufactured as the means to a political end.
The comment was not about what is real or not real. It is about what she is stating. And her stating that view doesn’t make it true, but it is her view.
I think it is closer to what she was saying, that when those warning of a climate crisis do not themselves BEHAVE as if there is indeed a crisis, then no one will take it seriously.
Everyone acknowledges having heard the warnings.
Her history suggests that she is more aware than most of the alarmistas that actions speak louder than words.
When they fly around the globe on private jets to have a huge days-long party/conference, the main point of which is to scream at the rest of the world to shrink their “carbon footprint”, they are not practicing what they preach, and if there is one thing most people are acutely aware of in others, it is hypocrisy.
In fact, many here have long been pointing out the same thing: Why should anyone take seriously a cry of alarm about a crisis, coming from people who do not themselves act at all as if they believe there is a crisis?
Excoriating her warmista fellow travelers on this general point is what she was doing when she adopting her now well-known scowl.
She is talking about exactly what was her reason for dropping out of school: She was sitting in a class and was told about the end of the world, and then the instructors would turn the page and start talking about what the next subject of discussion was.
She was mortified, because she immediately internalized the fear mongering and was shocked when it turned out to be just another subject…one that was brought up and then moved on from…like when Math class is over and History class starts.
If we think back, her whole thing was “How can we talk about anything else when the world is ending?”

Missing the point here.
The Simps (seriously guys, stop White Knighting. She is not going to follow you on Twitter) here are desperate to prove she never really said ‘doesn’t exist’ or that if she did, what she meant to say was HOW DARE YOU HOW DARE YOU.
Not the point.
The point here is that she is annoyed that people are treating Climate Change(tm) as something that ‘doesn’t exist’ and many of those people are at the highest levels of global leadership.
What she is complaining about is that the masses have stopped caring and part of the blame is that the leaders have stopped offering it on the menu. Everyone needs to believe in unicorns or the magic doesn’t work.
Go back and listen to the entire answer. Greta clearly says that it is pointless for a leader to overrule democracy because EVERYONE has to agree and be wanting to work together.
She is not admitting the Global Warming(tm) doesn’t exist, she is admitting that only the minorities actually want to do something about it.
She is admitting – accidentally – she is a MINORITY and the majority of voters have other issues they regard as more important.
That is the point – Greta is admitting (accidentally) that her movement has failed and people are just getting on with their lives.

I think this type of ‘story’ just makes climate alarm sceptics look as silly as the alarmists often do. It’s not worthy of any attention.

The doctored video shamelessly takes what she said out of context, but it is essentially trolling Greta. It is satire. It would take an extremely gormless oerson to not recognize it as such. She’s saying that world leaders, including Biden need to treat the “climate crisis” like a crisis, because otherwise, how are people going to know it’s a crisis and demand that more be done. That is circular reasoning on her part.
It is also laughably ironic and hypocritical that she says she supports democracy, while at the same time wanting Biden et al to run roughshod over democracy in their efforts to “save the planet”. Greta is a liar. She actually hates democracy.
Actually, I think it is more an example of her inability to reason clearly and her constant desire to be woke.

Her time has come and gone. No one cares as they are all fighting to pay for the ever increasing fuel bills to stop them from freezing- a clue in there.
She was dropped like a hot rock when she showed up at the UN a few years back and screamed insults at her hosts for being hypocrites.

One day when if Greta ever acquires any self awareness, she will realize her persona was serially abused by her parents and other adult climate change cultists to become the poster child for their pseudoscientific cult. As a child Greta can be forgiven but not the adult cultists who serially gang raped her innocent image while high on their hubris of trying to tweak Mother Nature’s ancient cycle of natural climate variation.

Why does a Swedish girl have a British accent?
Why do Klingons and Romulans have American accents? So did the Goa’uld and Jaffa for that matter – is America full of aliens? Do we really care?
British teachers.
