    Default Greta Thunberg Sails Into New York

    Greta Thunberg, the teenage Swedish climate activist, sailed into New York on Wednesday after crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a zero-emissions yacht.

    And the 16-year-old whose solitary protests on Fridays demanding climate action have spread to other children across the globe immediately sent a message to President Donald Trump.

    “My message to him is just to listen to the science, and he obviously doesn’t do that,” she said in response to a reporter’s question, according to The New York Times.


    Prior to leaving on her voyage from Plymouth in England on Aug. 14, Thunberg announced she had no plans to talk with Trump during her time in the U.S., where she will attend the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York next month.

    “Why should I waste time talking to him when he, of course, is not going to listen to me?” she told CBS. “I can’t say anything that he hasn’t already heard.”

    Thunberg marked her arrival in the U.S. on Twitter, where she said she would “rest for a few days” and then join a climate strike outside the U.N. on Friday.

    Didn't they used to do it in sailboats?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    That Thunberg is a great kid. Her influence is growing among adults , let alone the billions of youngsters.

    Another kid being exploited by rich, white, climate alarmists. How nice. Was this "zero emissions yacht" constructed out of only sustainable materials? Was it built in at a facility that doesn't emit carbon? These people are frauds.

    From a boat owned by the royal family of Monaco. Gee, I wonder what their carbon footprint is?

    How much do you suppose a 12th century castle costs to heat and cool?

    If you're suggesting that they relocate the United Nations HQ then that's an excellent idea.
