On Tuesday, CBS This Morning was in awe of radical climate change activist Greta Thunberg, hailing the 16-year-old from Sweden as “the voice of the planet” and touting her plan to sail across the Atlantic to attend a United Nations climate summit in New York. The report particularly applauded Thunberg for scolding the United States and President Trump for not doing enough to stop global warming.
“A teenager from Sweden called ‘the voice of the planet’ is ready to cross the Atlantic on a mission to fight climate change....She’ll be sailing from Europe to New York to call on world leaders to protect the environment,” co-host Anthony Mason proclaimed as he introduced the segment early in the 8:00 a.m. ET hour. The headline on screen echoed: “‘The Voice of the Planet’; 16-Year-Old Climate Activist Sailing From Europe to New York.”
Reporting from Stockholm, correspondent Roxana Saberi fawned: “Greta Thunberg doesn’t like all this attention....But the 16-year-old travels from stage...to stage...with a warning – we’re running out of time to tackle climate change.” After promoting other children skipping school to join Thunberg’s climate protests, the reporter gushed: “All of these people are here to see Greta, a sign of just how much her message is resonating here in Sweden and across Europe.”
Saberi then celebrated the teenager’s next move:
Now she’s taking her message to the other side of the Atlantic. She’s setting sail on a solar-powered boat, bringing a message to a U.N. summit in New York. The journey could take two weeks, but Greta says she doesn’t fly because of the environmental impact of air travel.
