End the Children's Climate Crusade
2019-09-28
    "Climate guru Petteri Taalas: 'Climate change is not yet out of control, but the debate is ‐ It has the features of a religious extremism.'"

[PJMedia] So read the English translation of the headline of a September 6 news report in Finland’s financial newspaper Talouselämä (The Journal) citing an interview with Taalas, a PhD in meteorology and secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization.

Perhaps nothing better illustrates the validity of Taalas’s concern than the use of children to promote the worldwide climate delusion, a scare for which there exists not a shred of physical evidence. Sixteen-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is a case in point.

After crossing the Atlantic in what she incorrectly dubbed a zero-carbon yacht to address the recent UN climate summit, her actions mobilized millions of climate change demonstrators, many of them children, in more than 100 countries to join protests. In an angry speech at the UN, Thunberg told world leaders that they had "stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words...You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. You are failing us."

#14  To sea went a brave little sailor
Who railed at the gales with a hailer.
She sounded so addled,
Cetaceans skedaddled,
A-blubber: "The tales of that wailer!"

#12  Warthog, I know she has autism. Don't care. I know the parents are too blame too. don't care. I'm an equal oppurtunity hater.

#11  The original children's crusade ended with most of them being sold into slavery.

Just sayin'.

#6 While I've no doubt she's being guided, she knows what she's doing and revels in the attention and power it gives her.

The worst thing the rest of us could do is give her endless slack because she's "just a child".

She wants the power of an adult? Fine, then be prepared to held as accountable as an adult would be (ideally).

The Right will never win if we constantly insist on white knighting for those who are trying to destroy us.

#10  Hogg will have his Hahvahd history or political science or "government policy" degree and there will be an Ivy bidding war for Greta (while Felicity Huffman mutters WFT?). As long as the left sees taxes, taxes everywhere, a good 99% tax on endowments is a great place for the GOP to go for starters.

#8  #5, #6 Anybody her age who feels entitled, indeed obliged, to lecture grown ups - who know and understand a lot more that she does, should get a leather strap applied to her tush.

#7  I'm serious, someone should have reported her and her parents to CPS.

#6  Chris - she's mentally challenged and scared out of what passes for her wits by her feckless parents. She's been lied to her whole life by the people she trusts the most. Blame the bastard parents.

#4  #1 On the other hand, MM, If rationality held sway we'd probably just lay down and die because life has no rational purpose. And don't mention religion because belief is irrational.

#3  It has been speculated that "Greenism" is an effort to replace Christianity so they left can conduct goat molesting, mule sniffing, and baby raping without criticism.

#2  Greenism is a religion, you cannot argue against it rationally.

#1  If rationality held sway, we would not be talking about messianic children, modern monetary theory, globalism or borderless states. We would not be talking about making math "feel good" or about making illiterates feel good about their contributions to the space program. We would not be listening to Jenny McCarthy's babble against vaccines. We would not be talking about anything that is not immediately relevant to acceptable results in governance, science and individual freedom. But that would leave way too many on the outside they have chosen, not looking in, but looking for the next unicorn or false religion to embrace.
