    Sorry, Greta: Trump skips UN climate summit

    "Up until now, the public relations build-up for the big United Nations climate summit has been humongous.

    After all, who better than the United Nations to get carbon emissions choking the Earth down? The world's at stake! Twelve years to oblivion. Submerged islands! Funerals for glaciers. Polar bears! A very big march of some manipulated kids, led by Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg — and all of this hoopla getting lots of press.

    Well, President Trump has a response for it, according to ABC News:

    President Donald Trump is not scheduled to attend.

    The climate summit is part of the United Nations General Assembly and was planned to "discuss a leap in collective national ambition," not unlike the Paris Climate Agreement, the 2016 agreement from which Trump vowed to withdraw the U.S. in 2017.

    On Friday, young people protested around the world, including in the U.S., to pressure leaders to take significant action toward preventing climate change.

    It makes sense. The Paris climate accord was a pathetic failure, same as the Kyoto accords, because the bigfoot polluters, China and India, certainly weren't going to stick their necks out on this. What's more, greenie European countries such as Germany never bothered to get their emissions down, either, largely due to their rejection of fracking and nuclear power. The U.S., by contrast, because of its fracking revolution, has indeed gotten its climate figures down without any stinking signature on the dotted line.

    That's right: the loudest proponents of greenhouse gas agreements are the biggest slackers on following their requirements. This points to the reality that these international agreements, all failures, are really just about leftist dreams of seizing power over free and productive economies and dictating their terms.

    Throwing the U.N. into this pathetic record of failure — it can't even run a credible peacekeeping operation without a new pedophile scandal — is pretty much piling failure upon failure. Would China and India bother to cut their greenhouse gas emissions if the U.N. told them to? Something says no.

    This points to the wisdom of Trump's refusal to even bother with this United Nations clown show. It's a new takeover bid from unelected leftist bureaucrats to rule the U.S., which has the most pristine record on climate emissions anyway. It stinks; President Trump knows it stinks; and, mercifully for us, he has the steely resolve to ignore the pressure campaigns and just let these compulsive meddlers play among themselves, except not on his time.

    It's called "winning." "

    She was mighty upset when Trump walked in front of her. Mark my words, little Greta will get a Nobel prize, write a book, and who knows what else that will make her plenty of cash.

    She is taking up a collection for European terrorist antifa. Also, she is a salesperson for European green deal manufacturers like our Solandra that got something like $600,000,000 from Obama.

    Poor kid, should be a law against using children this way as Globalist Pawns:

    Psychologist says he's worried about the mental wellbeing of climate change activist Greta Thunberg | Daily Mail Online

    'I am worried that we use a kid like this, who arguably should be getting treatment because she's said she's had anorexia, said she's got Asperger's and said she's battled depression,' he said.

    'As a parent, if this was my child, I'm not sure I'd be putting them on the world stage.'

    Dr Carr-Gregg said he was worried about Greta's future, her current psychological health and how it would impact other young people.

    'It sends a message to other teenagers that they can speak to adults in this very, very dismissive way',' he said.

    'She seems to be caught up in a doomsday scenario where she's massively exaggerating the threats posed by climate change and that has a flow-on effect because it causes all this existential anxiety in our children, hence the climate strikes,' he said.

    He said kids should be in school but are instead rallying because 'they've been convinced the end of the world is nigh'.

    'She's now put herself at the centre of worldwide either Greta-phobia or Greta-mania and I don't think any 16-year-old girl should be,' he said.

    Actually I believe it was Hawkins who counted it (Apocalypse) in billions of years not decades.

    The only solution it appears is if we get out out of the solar system.

    I'm leaving the universe soon. Greta don't know nothing. Her parents have driven her insane.

    Education doesn’t happen in school anymore...it’s indoctrination.

    But some of those brainwashed kids that skipped school and marched for the climate will grow up and realize they’ve been duped.

    The others will keep smoking their medically-approved, insurance-covered wacky weed and keep marching in circles against the next “hot”issue.

    Actually you can stay in the Milky Way Galaxy to escape climate change here, elsewhere? who knows?

    Children of the Corn.

    How dare they allow this show of disrespect from a child who is already dealing with mental problems, thanks to her parents. Give her more power? No, put her in cheque, tell her it is not the way you talk to adults, & escort her away. She has no right to address adults in that manner.

    When I witness how children are being raised today, in the friend zone, ‘what would you like to do or say sweetheart?’, it makes me gag. Children need parenting, not more buds. It’s an abdication of duty by parents. It’s selfish all around, and doesn’t create young adults who have respect for anything but what they want, and how they want it. Well, isn’t that special?! When you see a child having a meltdown, they are looking for the line, they are looking for the adult to be the adult, which will give them the security that the adult is indeed there to handle things, they are not really looking to be rewarded for bad behavior. If you reward it, you will have a miserable child who will escalate the bad behavior next time. How far does that escalation go as they become entitled young adults? Sorry for the rant. This is a sore spot with me.

    I suspect the reference was not to this world at all. Some of us are much closer to an out of world experience whether Jesus returns soon or not. :Wink

    Greta proclaimed successor of Jesus by the Church of Sweden. Obama will be crushed after the press always showed him to be wearing a halo.
