ClimateChangeHoax

Extremely disrespectful. Maybe she thought she was being funny...when the “bombers” vote her out, she won’t be laughing anymore. She owes an apology...big time..

Too bad it will burn more carbon to make carbon-free energy sources, no one can afford it, and the emission-free sources/vehicles will not even be efficient enough to make it worthwhile. Without using, of all things, nuclear energy. JohnStossel

Very disrespectful. Not nearly as bad as hiding the Epstein story for years. Why ABC?! EpsteinCoverup EnemyOfThePeople

Shame is that for all of her intelligent and informative lecturing on climate change, none of THAT will be remembered. She literally wiped out her whole speech with one ill-placed (and inaccurate) retort. 🤨

'OK, Suffocate or Drown?', laughs the Boomer

She looks 50.

😂😂😂

Why is this news?

... At this rythm, if we don't change our attitude, we shall be wordless when nuclear wars start... We will have more then a climate for a change

Boomers got nothing else to do with their lives so they spend the rest of their short life on Earth just posting fake and depressing crap of their feed that literally nobody cares about. Talk about snowflakes! You'll be gone by the time 2050 is here, or already melted!

She looks 40

Gotta love how older people get angry about the word 'boomer' when they've destroyed the climate and the economy

That must’ve had many members feeling the heat. I can see many pulling out their fans and saying - Well, I’ve never... - 😂

The 'boomer' should have waited for his turn. No wonder, the older generation has destroyed the world.

Boy they are really reaching hard to find other storys to not have to awnser for Epstein story not being released. FAKENEWS its sickening they get away with this crap.

Ok Boomer is really kind of offensive. It's incredibly flippant. Dont know if it's appropriate to throw all arguments u dont like from older generation into a depersonalized generic Ok Boomer box.

I’m a boomer, but this is funny since so many people bitch about the younger generation being out of touch with the problems of today😂😂😂

Love the youngster’s misguided passion but there can be no clean air until India and China play ball:

This is exactly why millennial has become a derogatory word. The attitude is outrages

She is right... Ok, boomer.

Age discrimination UN

Wow. That's shameful. Ageism is just as bad as whatever the OM was doing.

She's pushing the climate change hoax and she has the nerve to call someone else a boomer. 😏

This whole climate change 'movement' is nothing more than a global communist front organization. Now throw them your money! 🤗

Grow up zoomers.

I wonder if she cares about the kids on Epstein’s Island?

Hey this is a distraction. You throwing this up to cause division and hide the real story that you are part of EpsteinSuicideCoverUp

100% praxis

What unchecked immigration has wrought. Will never change in our lifetime.

🤬

EpsteinCoverup

Baby boomers (also known as boomers) are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation and preceding Generation X. The Baby Boom generation is most often defined as those individuals born between 1946 and 1964.

This is because the youth are bereft of reasoning and are inarticulate and so they come up with pithy little bumper sticker sayings like this. Unbeknownst to them it just magnifies their naivety. If they're not upbraided now they'll later suffer by their intrinsic incompetence.

“Ok Bommer” is hate speech used to divided and silence people and views that others don’t agree with. Youth is wasted on the young.

Hey ABC, how’s the Epstein story coming along ? Still covering up for the canal pedos ?

OK Colluders

Almost as quickly as ABC News dismisses evidence of a serial pedophile.

New Zealand is one of the worlds leaders in environmental awareness and fighting climatechange. She should give her speech in Africa, China or Iraq.

Funny how climate change is a boomer thing.

What is that ''OK boomer'' as if she nominates some Asian out there.

It was quick and precise. Great use of the term to shut a science denying old bag of shit up.
