Appearing Thursday on CNN’s Coronavirus: Facts and Fears town hall program, Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg said she hopes the Chinese coronavirus pandemic teaches others to listen to experts on climate change.
(Partial transcript)"People are starting to realize that we are actually depending on science and that we need to listen to scientists and experts." -Teen activist Greta Thunberg on how people are reacting to science and what that means for the climate crisis. #CNNTownHall https://t.co/EvUEaN7gza pic.twitter.com/HLQb1AQ7ax— CNN (@CNN) May 15, 2020
ANDERSON COOPER: One of the things I’ve seen you talk about alone is how important it is to listen to experts and listen to science. ....GRETA THUNBERG: Yes, exactly. I hope that we can see now the scientific community are stepping up and they are speaking out more than they’ve done before because, obviously, this is a crisis that requires the scientific community to speak up. It feels like science is — the role of science changing now — it’s becoming more — people are starting to realize that we are actually depending on science and that we need to listen to scientists and experts. And I really hope that stays and that also it’s for other crises like the climate crisis and the environmental crisis and that we understand that we have to listen to the scientists.

Ask Cindy Sheehan and all sorts of others.
Just the opposite. The scientists f’d up.
Yep, if she wants to stay relevant she will need to also become an expert on gun confiscation, LGBTQ rights, taking from the rich to give to the poor, and promoting abortion. That will round out her resume.
Models for Covid, models for Climate Crisis...I’m convinced.
Greta, you mean the gov’t and academic scientists that have been wrong on every single assumption and prediction they’ve made since this outbreak appeared? Those scientists?
Yes. We’ve learned these scientists are just as wrong on every count as the Climate scientists have been for the past 25 years.
I have no problem listening to scientist however the problem is most so-called scientists are actually political activists masquerading as scientists...
Every guy interested in seducing a beautiful woman tries to convince her he’s an expert at something. However, what he wants is not in her best interest.
It is shameful that this child is being used by people to further a nutty cause. She has no clue what she is saying or that she has been lied to.
“...I hope her folks teach her the history of Leftists’ treatment of ‘one trick pony’...”
Could be far, far worse...
Like that old joke: “I wish Trotsky were still alive, so I could go and pick his brains a bit...”
You have a better chance of winning the lottery than the covid scientists being precise in their predictions.
Someone tell Scoldylocks her 15 minutes is up.
Earth to Greta, the models FAILED. The credibility, whatever there was, of “scientists” is shot.
Poor girl has sixty or seventy years of hand-wringing to look forward to, oh the joy in her miserable life.
Is she 18 yet. Can we start attacking her comments directly?
Yep.
Are they the same scientists who say that unborn babies are not humans?
I’m not wearing a mask because Greta said C02 was a deadly gas and you are continuously breathing in C02 when you wear one.
Just doing my part to save the planet.
Then why would anyone listen to an uneducated pissant like you Greta?
That’s it!
First, we need Greta to team up with Rachel Levine in Pennsylvania and discuss “science deniers”.
Lots of credibility there.
Listen to scientists they say don’t wear masks?
Listen to scientists when they say we don’t need to close borders that are nations are not at risk?
Listen to scientists when they say there’s no threat to young people and they should feel confident to go on cruise ships if they feel like it?
Because these are things that the so-called experts said in January February and March before they flip-flopped.
