GretaThunberg Change is coming whether you like it or not...this is the future you are witnessing

GretaThunberg Proud to come from the same country as this smart young lady!

.RepStephenLynch How can you seem to be against the Weymouth compressor proposal but be silent on real commitments to help stop climate change? Your inaction remains extremely disappointing. Dude, I’m voting for BriannaWu again in 2020.

Im I the only adult sick and tired of these kids being uses as talking heads? I could care less what any of these kids say period go clean your room.

Real maturity is not of the physical age, but of the heart of the leaders in whatever position in life.

100% agree!

GretaThunberg How about if we take this young lady as an inspiration to start changing least SOMETHING in our own lives

Lol.. Stupid young people will lose...

Out of the mouth of babes. I totally agree with her!

She’s not wrong.

Not sure it’s a question of maturity, but yeah

The kids are so correct.

Stupid kid

She’s right. Time to raise hell. Or ring a bell. Or bang pots and pans. ringthebellforclimate

I don’t detect any lies here.

Young people, you can do this. Unplug all of your devices and start walking or riding a bike.

Probably because it’s stupid and not a important cause. Even the people who preach it like scripture (BernieSanders) don’t follow it.

GretaThunberg How annoying. Stupid kids who think they know everything but know nothing. Kinda like the congresswoman.

Climate change doesn't exist. It's always 45 degrees and sunny in the middle of December in Wisconsin.

She may be right, some politicians will deny climate warming, when their feet are very wet. All we can do is vote and express our opinions.

She is wearing a winter coat and gloves while talking about global warming. Pretty good evidence that teens aren't able to connect the dots.

The left is using children in a bid to go all in with their appeal to emotion campaign. It didn't work with gun sales; it won't work with the climate change grift either. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

America's current leaders are definitely immature old people; totally lacking in wisdom. Old/senior/elderly has never meant a person in these categories possesses wisdom.

Yep, all those 'leaders' are being shown up by high school kids. Kudos to those kids with more on the ball than many legislators.

Teens don’t know what they are talking about

She’s absolutely right.

And she's absolutely right.

What worse did this mature child say?

Is this satire?

She's met tRump?

Did she lie? She gave a better speech than our current president

Correct.

This is comedy, right? LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

The climate always changes? Complete bs

WhitfordBradley That is true. Adults are bowing to peer pressure at a much greater rate then these kids.

If you want to grow your own dope plant a liberal smh

I have a question why would mortgage companies loan money on very expensive beachfront properties both commercial and private that in 20 or thirty years would be under water? Stopbeingstupid

GretaThunberg Power to the people

This teen couldn't brush her own hair.

GretaThunberg “Our generation will never be able to fly (among other things), other than for emergencies. Because the adult generations have used up all our carbon budget.” Emergencies? I wish it will be the case. More probable for bombing other countries and get the last drops of oil! :-(

GretaThunberg The young people will win

GretaThunberg She is correct. It is, in fact, their immaturity, their lack of humanity, that allows them their feeling of moral certitude while committing financial, judicial, & environmental fraud on a global scale; yes, to enhance the lives of a very few. She is better, even, than you, WaPo.

Because teens know what’s best 😂

Well.....a mark of maturity is to sacrifice some momentary fun and pleasure for greater rewards or hazard prevention later. The hoaxers ignore the problems today for money. You can call that immature.

solhog Great, thanksFridaysforfuture

Greta hasn't learned that additional money for a few wealthy people outranks the health, safety, wealth & lifespan of her entire generation. That is maturity! yes, this is sarcasm

She’s assuming government is solely responsible when the fact is individuals are and they aren’t compelled to make changes. She’s too young to understand this complex issue.

GretaThunberg You are my hero. Go on Greta. Stay strong.

Avni avnithetigress All Avnists must read this for inspiration and act.

GretaThunberg You are great! Thank you for honest words, you spoke for many of us 🙏🏼♥️

She meant not 'intelligent' enough... 🤔

Maybe the activist could do what others do, and charter individual Lear jets to attend conferences.

GretaThunberg I agree completely! I’m so glad that other people my age are actually doing something!

GretaThunberg Vasectomies are the best way to stop using fossil fuels.

GretaThunberg She is correct! Listen to her!

'And children shall lead them. . .' It looks like children will have to lead. I remember Fox's and Republicans mantra for Obama: 'He leads from behind! ' Trump leads the Retreat into know-nothingism, selfishness and isolation.

GretaThunberg Teenage activist calls leaders not 'mature enough' to take action on climate change...I would wish for this child that she is right ... be strong Jung lady ... Fights what you believe .. you can not save this world .... but you can make it better for many ..🙏

The climate changes every hundred years

GretaThunberg She is stronger than a certain president, right Mr. idiot realDonaldTrump ?

GretaThunberg She got more backbone as all these gutless politicans/lobbyists around the world who only fight for their own benefits!!

I wish I was that brave when I was 15 years old. Greta is nothing short of a hero.❤️❤️❤️

grammar3708 She’s right! Action to create positive change takes fortitude & courage. Inaction/stubbornness/greed in the face of scientific evidence is folly. Let’s hope world leaders, their subordinates & their citizens WakeUp before we leave a footprint too large to erase. ClimateChange

mrburlesk If the 👞 fits 🤷🏼‍♀️

truth

Youngsters believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the man made global climate change hoax

She’s my heroine! Her words ring true, “You say you love your children above all else, yet you are stealing their future before their very eyes.”

That's definitely true. I hadn't thought about it that way.

It's much easier to just believe it's the End of Time, and not do anything about it, other than to continue reproducing and consuming exponentially until Jesus raptures the good ones. Idontgiveashitaboutthefuture

Or guns. Or they are just too greedy or too stupid or too of the thousand and one qualities that makes us question whether very single species has a collective death inbuilt as well

Two ice ages happened (one small & one enormous) without involvement from human beings. I say protest China’s & India’s polluted air & waters of garbage. ClimateChange

Give me a break.

She’s right.

НАША ЛЮБОВЬ СОЗРЕЛА . ПОЗВОЛЬТЕ НАМ В ЭТОМ РАЗОБРАТЬСЯ САМИМ )

ТОЛЬКО НЕ В МОЙ СРОК ?! ) ФАКЕР , ТЫ ТАКОЙ СМЕШНОЙ

God bless her

'activist', aka, teen moron. But I'm certain this teen understands more about the 'science' than a M. S. M. E.......

The fact is if we were to immediately stop emitting all green house gases, not just CO2 the Earth will continue to warm. It will take thousands of years to reabsorb this CO2, and regain some kind of equilibrium. The fact is we can't immediately stop, so change is coming, prepare.

She's right! It takes a strong spine, lots of good information and the will to do the right thing even when it's unpopular. How many politicians do you know that are willing to do that?

Not activist rather a paid agent...

Ignorant followers beget bad leaders. Bad leaders seek ignorant followers. It takes a child to see through the corruption and lies. Like Intelligence Quotient, Emotional Quotient is a critical character trait.

ПРОСЛЕДИТЕ ЧТО БЫ ТАК ЖЕ БЫЛО С ОСТАЛЬНЫМИ )

So I guess this teen thinks Macron in France is “mature”? Well his “maturity” in imposing climate change taxes on the French is resulting in the French Military generals calling him a traitor and resulting in the French people burning down Paris. “Climate change” = control.

I dare say they know a lot more about climatechange/globalwarming than most members of the congressional GOP and certainly much more than realDonaldTrump by a long shot.

indoctrinated

The ice caps growing the world is getting colder Government is lying to people to raise taxes againand in order to create the NewWorld Government Additional young people are being brainwashed in schools by teachers havinghave no education on climate historyOther than paid thugs

Tell the teens to turn off thier video games and the damn lights and go to bed

This teen climate change activist should team up with billionaire philanthropist Mike Bloomberg who seems to have the same goals ? What's wrong with our President & EPA that appear to be aiding in polluting our environment ?

Why kneecap the poor teenager? Once you’re labeled an activist you’re ability and career to do anything is over.

Lol..... Democrats are such prisoners of teenage inexperienced know-nothing's.

I always defer to teenagers for political commentary.🙄🙄🙄🙄

Watch this kid interviewed on Democracy Now! Amy Goodman interviewed her last Thursday in Poland at the climate conference.

Fun Fact: Coal for Christmas is meant as a Symbol of Hell, what Naughty Children get for being Bad.

Teens are ignorant.

What does she knows about climate change, stop scaring kids, end time is near, repents before it is too late, the lord is coming.

At least it is not Trump.

Teenage 'leader' cant buy cigs or beer' should probably stick to what prom decerations to pick.

Civilizations always crash. Just not on this scale.

100% ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE

Sick burn, kid. If you weren't clueless but for the indoctrination of your teachers and parents you might know the con artists have been peddling this 'urgent' hoax since before you were born, and always getting it wrong. You are a joke, WaPo, USING kids.

She's not wrong.

Nah just too corrupt

We also need longer lunch breaks and free wifi to play fortnite

They ain't wrong

She means 'too corrupt' and 'too greedy'

and this is why kids are kids and adults run the show
