In Glasgow Francis Will Be a No-Show. In His Place Will Be Greta

It is no mystery that Francis, author of the environmental encyclical “Laudato si’,” admires the young Swedish activist, whom he met briefly in St. Peter’s Square on April 17, 2019. But it is just as well known that Greta rivals him on the public stage worldwide, as a figure of reference for the defense of nature.

What a joke.

Bla. Bla, bla…

The Queen agrees.

[Huskrrrr]

Same difference.

[irishjuggler]

This thread needs one of those angry-face Greta “How dare you?” memes.

[LIConFem]

So a young, mentally ill Marxist is subbing for an old, mentally ill Marxist.

"What a joke."

Is Greta a Lutheran?

Maybe she can post some demands on the Door of the Conference.

[BradyLS]

Stewie in pigtails! “How dare you!”

These idiots meeting in Glasgow, all flying in on private and chartered jet aircraft. They don't seem worried about their carbon footprints do they. As Glenn Reynolds says, I'll believe it's a crisis when they start acting like it's a crisis.

Do you know what the biggest lie of the whole climate change effort is? That we can control the climate! If we could control the climate why the hell would we not be doing so already? We could eliminate the need for air conditioning for one thing. We could simply program the climate so it would be a constant 68 degrees F everywhere all the time. And hurricanes and tornadoes? why we could do away with them too.

I like the one where her face is painted on the back of the car, and the brake lights are her eyes.

Is Greta a Lutheran?

No, she is Saint Greta of the Church of Climate Change and Lady Gaia.

[Louis Foxwell]

This is brilliant.
Francis has been working tirelessly to bring the church in line with the theology of woke globalism. Greta is a major priestess of this cult. Her speech is always based on apocalyptic references.
There is nothing about Greta that is genuinely environmental. She is a priestess teaching the end of the world.
Francis is delighted to have such a vaunted priestess representing himself and the church.

Solidly, a foreign version of the babylon bee.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I knew when they installed him he was going to be the New World Order Pope.
Everything he has done confirms it.

[irishjuggler]

Ha, “dream team”

[Noumenon]

Udderly ridiculous.
