It’s Saint Greta - when she docked in NY - she got out of her boat and walked on the water to the pier.

Kids are punished if they do NOT participate in sanctioned events.

Swedish schoolgirl who refused to take part in one of campaigner Greta Thunberg’s ‘climate strikes’ is ‘bullied by her own teacher’ and labelled a ‘climate denier’

And they flew in a crew to return the boat.

It’s worse. She’s severely autistic. She has suffered from selective mutism, severe anxiety and OCD per her parents’ own admission.

She has admitted that fighting to save the climate and control others’ lifestyle reduces her own anxiety. That makes her a potent political weapon - she is driven to do so and believes those lying to her that the world is ending. She’s the perfect spokes-piece.

And no one can tell me that they weren't tracked during the entire trip....either eyes in the sky or via nearby boat.

Go home, creepy little kid. Such a coinkidink that she shows up, Occasional Cortex wakes up worrying about climate change and the Democrats planning a 7 hour presidential debate on climalte change. Reeks.

Oh darn it...I was busy...making money, so I couldn’t go. I was being an evil capitalist by polluting the air with my lawn mower, weed eater and my dad was helping with the chain saw...(I hired him). Was the sailboat, wooden, or was it made out of man made materials that is not green...(solar panels are not Green, Ms Turdberg!

16 year olds should be able to vote, if they are Conservative...😀. Really, no, I am going to say that I am going to vote for Trump, but if it wasn't for him, I might not vote. Some of us teens are eating Tide Pods (no, not me) but really teens, you got brainwashed by public schools. Global Warming is a hoax driving by Globalists. Obama bought a waterfront home, Leonardo DiCrapalo uses a private jet to fly (with other liberal elites) to condemn people who are saying GW is a hoax.. when liberals give up their waterfront homes and private Jets, I might believe them...

[ConservaTeen]

You are insulting Cabbage Patch Dolls .. they are more intelligent than she is....😀

I vote for 2 years in every country, say 2 years in Afghanistan, then Albania, and so on, until they get to Zimbabwe. Then they start over.

[The Great RJ]

Reminds me of the Children’s Crusade of 1212..also a disastet

[Halgr]

Some of us older folks have known for some time that Climate Change and Global Warming are a scam...

Do your research people....its all about destroying capitalism.

Yes the DEEP STATE IS VERY REAL!!!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Even better!

[blueplum]

carried placards and everything? wow. impressive. Wonder how many carried trash bags to clean up after themselves???

[Phil DiBasquette]

Oh but it does change.

Today it was warm/“hot”. F 82. (Oh no, That’s Bad)
Tonight 20 degrees cooler (that’s good)
Today it might be 77....

[WWG1WWA]

You poor man. How will you cope? :)

[hal ogen]

Dearest greta...go back to your crappy country and befriend a moozlum immigrant. You are an exploited naive retard. Get out of our country, you pathetic, misguided fool.

[ronnie raygun]

Were they told that if implemented they would have to give up their cellphones and everything they enjoy and use on a day to day basis? Oh sacrifice? me? thunberg would be the only one out there

[samtheman]

Hundreds?

Wow, what a number.
