Greta Thunberg: It’s Strange People Think Of Biden As A Leader
During an interview with the Washington Post on Monday, Far-left activist Greta Thunberg slammed Democrat President Joe Biden, saying it’s “strange that people think of Joe Biden as a leader” on climate issues.
Thunberg, who is known for making alarmist claims about climate change, made the comments when she was asked if she was “inspired by any of the world leaders.”
“If you call him a leader — I mean, it’s strange that people think of Joe Biden as a leader for the climate when you see what his administration is doing,” Thunberg responded.
“The U.S. is actually expanding fossil fuel infrastructure,” she said. “Why is the U.S. doing that? It should not fall on us activists and teenagers who just want to go to school to raise this awareness and to inform people that we are actually facing an emergency.”
“People ask us, ‘What do you want?’ ‘What do you want politicians to do?’ And we say, first of all, we have to actually understand what is the emergency. We are trying to find a solution of a crisis that we don’t understand,” she admitted. “For example, in Sweden, we ignore — we don’t even count or include more than two-thirds of our actual emissions. How can we solve a crisis if we ignore more than two-thirds of it? So it’s all about the narrative. It’s all about, what are we actually trying to solve? Is it this emergency, or is it this emergency?”
Thunberg is known for making doomsday claims about climate change without evidence. For example, in her book “No One Is Too Small To Make A Difference,” Thunberg claims “Around 2030 we will be in a position to set off an irreversible chain reaction beyond human control that will lead to the end of our civilization as we know it.”
Additionally, as noted by the Daily Wire, Thunberg claimed in a 2019 op-ed, “Fossil fuels are literally choking the life from us. That action must be powerful and wide-ranging. After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities.”
And in a 2019 rant at the United Nations, Thunberg said, “Yet, you all come to us young people for hope, how dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words and yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth.”

Controversial Remarks by Progressive Lawmaker Sparks Intra-Party Clash over Hamas’ Alleged Sexual Violence
In a recent television appearance, Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal stirred controversy and faced intense criticism from fellow Democrats for her remarks seemingly downplaying reported sexual violence by Hamas terrorists against Israeli women.
The contentious comments come amid disturbing accounts of rape and brutal assaults following Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel on October 7, with prominent Democrats expressing outrage and demanding unequivocal condemnation.
According to reports from Fox News, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz from Florida called for a forceful denouncement of sexual violence and condemning any attempt to create moral equivalence between Hamas and the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). The accusations of rape and sexual assault have sparked concern about the well-being of Israelis still held hostage by Hamas.
During her appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Jayapal faced scrutiny for not outright condemning Hamas for the alleged acts, instead emphasizing the broader impact of war on women.
Furthermore, the comments drew swift criticism, with Representative Ritchie Torres of New York insisting on the need for unequivocal condemnation of sexual violence against Israeli women.
Despite Jayapal’s history of advocating against sexual violence, her recent remarks have led to a significant intra-party clash, with Democrats challenging the notion of finding a balance or moral equivalence in addressing such sensitive matters.
The controversy underscores the complexities that arise when lawmakers navigate geopolitical conflicts while upholding principles of justice and human rights. As tensions escalate within the party, the incident highlights the broader challenges of maintaining a unified front on contentious global issues.

Agreed, also who exactly thinks of Biden “as a leader” of anything–at best he’s a marionette…

I am in my late 60s and I have been hearing about the end of everything all my life. First the world would be consumed in an ice age. Then it would be consumed by raging heat. And when the so-called “experts” couldn’t decide which way to go, they punted and said that climate change would destroy us. This sad little girl should learn the virtue of faith. We will find our way out of anything that happens to us. When the moment arrives, the man appears, to lead us to a better way. Have faith and believe, and we can overcome anything that we can create. I pity this child, for she is losing her innocence and her ability to see the wonders of this world, stolen by the Marxist minions who would do anything to assume complete power over us.

LOLOLOL Yeah, the fact that I live in New York and in the last 2 decades we’ve had more muddy rainy Christmas’s, then white Christmas’s is in no way connected to advanced climate change. LOLOLOL The fact that we now start Winter in February and its done in a little over 2 months is not out of normal as well. Geez bud. Do you even understand what climate change is? Let me put it to ya this way. Why don’t you be the first guy to volunteer to have Musk send you to Mars. You can demonstrate what happens to someone who steps onto a planet with no trees, grass, fresh water, or the atmosphere that contains them. WE have done damage to this planet in roughly 100 years, that took nature a few hundred million to achieve, to bring about The Great Permian Extinction level event. LOLOLOL But, then again, my guess is that science, fact and history probably elude you anyways.

It would seem to me that those acolytes who insist on the unchallenged acceptance of the IPCC’s “Anthropogenic Climate Change” theory are forgetting (although I believe “Ignoring” is the more accurate term) the first rule of scientific inquiry, which is to, “Trust, but verify”. (Which was the old Russian proverb Ronald Reagan used to quote.) Don’t forget that Einstein’s Theory of Relativity: E=MC², was recently disproved. Then, even more recently, finally proven. True science, untainted by political and personal gain, is paramount. I suggest reading an interesting little tome: “Unstoppable Global Warming [Every 1,500 Years]” 2nd ed. -S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery. One of the interesting (“Telling”) results of their book, which pulls together scientific studies from many different disciplines from the earth sciences to astrophysical, is that instead of attempting to refute the conclusions of Singer and Avery by disproving the studies they present (that would be the scientific method, would it not?), they have been subjected to personal attacks and vilification by those I’m calling “The Consensatarians”. (Which, I believe, would be the “Secular/Theocratic” method.) If you actually read it from cover to cover and can debate the science, that’s the scientific method. If you can only skim through it and denigrate the personalities of those who’ve done the research, well … it would be obvious as to which side of the equation you belong to.

What strange is that nobody on the left is upset that they’re parading the little brainwashed autistic girl around like some kind of trained monkey. To regurgitate one of the left’s favorite talking point – ‘what about the children?’
This is child abuse, plain and simple.
