Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old climate activist who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean as an alternative to air travel, took her climate protest to the White House on Friday.

Thunberg joined hundreds of young climate activists at the Ellipse across from the White House to pressure Congress and President Donald Trump to take action on climate change.

Thunberg, from Sweden, gained global attention last month for sailing in a zero-emissions yacht from the United Kingdom to New York City to attend the upcoming United Nations Climate Action Summit on Sept. 23 Trump has repeatedly expressed skepticism that climate change exists and his administration repealed a key clean water rule on Thursday.

“I am so incredibly grateful for every single one of you and I’m so proud of you who have come here” she said. “Never give up, we will continue and see you next week on September 20th.”“Greta is an unbelievable human being and I have never seen anything so inspiring in my entire life,” said climate activist Ashley McHenry. “She’s done more for a single issue that adults couldn’t have done in 20 years.

I truly feel deeply sorry for this girl. She has serious mental and psychological conditions that are being used and exploited and her life doesn't seem to matter at all to the people using her.

Those crazy eyes..

Good now go home! MAGA2020

The world largest emitter of carbon dioxide emissions is China, whose emissions increased by 1.6 percent in 2017—by 118 million metric tons, or almost 3 times as much as U.S. emissions were reduced. When is Greta going to Beijing ?

One of the BIGGEST SCAMS of the century Without Carbon we have no world End the Lie about so called climate change POLLUTIONS the prob

I hope for you that the Chump will listen to you

Until USA gets China and India on board (the two most polluting and climate affecting countries out there) it’s worthless

Sailing across the ocean and suggesting this as an alternative to air travel is just plain and simple stupid!! She should spend her time going to school!!!

Was the boat made out of wood she hand carved?

Go home!

Has anyone bothered to tell her that she isn’t an American citizen?😜😜😜

How did she get to Washington? Home?

...her entourage arrived at the WH in gas guzzling SUV’s. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Slow news day?

Is she sailing back home...or flying? Just sayin🤷🏻‍♀️

She's 16 years old so she does have a vested interest in the future of the planet because she's going to be hanging around for another 60 years

How's she getting back

Great , elder forget about climate change in our luxury life but teenage aware about present or future to save earth ...

Shouldn't you be in school? I get it....this is all am elaborate scheme to not have to go to school..bravo..very smart.😉

Why is the media covering this We know we have a climate change issue! Who cares what this kid thinks? It’s the same what millions of people all over the world think!

And sold Thin Mints to the White House staff?

OMH. This zero

👨‍🏫

Not an activist, but prophet. Activists are a dime a dozen. Most don't accomplish anything. They also don't speak the way Greta does: she doesn't seem to care if you follow her or not. (But you'll be sorry if you don't, haunted by the suffering en mass of all our grandchildren.)

She's waisting her time .the white house has been deserted 4 years its now inhabited by an orange enthused rodent running amok shitting all over the floor

Oh yeah! 16 year olds are normally the experts when it comes to any and all issues; especially global ones (sarcasm)

What are her credentials? Does she teach climatology at a well respected university? 🧐 Is she a scientific prodigy?

Upcoming environmental protest events:

I've noticed my retweets are not adding onto this Greta tweet. Very suspicious.

She’s an obvious pawn of the radical climate change movement. The scumbags pulling her strings should be arrested for child abuse.

How did she enter the country?

please report on her support team that assisted, type of ships boats that followed etc....

Poor kid.

I'm not getting new type of protest CLIMATE PROTEST against whom, against govt it is changing climate

'It's Friday, Friiidayy...'

ClimateChangeHoax

Using a child for political purpose is child abuse.

F*** Greta

Can’t believe but so proud to say a 16 year old girl is my environmental hero. Well done to the people who raised her! Long live the fighters!

I guess going to school is secondary

I always take my cues from 16 year old kids. Tomorrow, the Tide Pod challenge!

She is amazing! 💪 people who criticize her, deep down they wish they could ever be like her!

Get it, Greta!

Child abuse.
