Here's What You Don't Know About Greta Thunberg

Greta Thunberg is a force of nature. The teen climate activist achieved global stardom back in 2018 when she boldly challenged world leaders to do more to combat climate change. She's made a huge impact in the years since, with a push for carbon offsetting attributed to the "Greta Thunberg Effect." She's also pushed the buttons of climate change skeptics like former President Donald Trump, which made her a lightning rod for controversy. Thunberg, nonetheless, has marched on, becoming the face of climate activism. Want to know more about the inspiring Swede? Here's what you don't know about Greta Thunberg.

What are your thoughts on Greta Thunberg?

Uneducated extremists are not what the world needs.

One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named The Angry Beaver woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks. “What’s this?” she asked.
“Pulverized willow bark, ” replied her fairy godmother. 
“What happened to the carpet?” she asked. 
“The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum, ” came the response. 
The Angry Beaver smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles. 
“Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.” 
“Where’s the water?” asked The Angry Beaver 
“Down the road in the canal, ” replied her godmother, ‘Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it” 
“Why’s there no running water?” The Angry Beaver asked, becoming a little peevish. 
“Well, ” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?” There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Sweden’s energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . . 
“What’s for breakfast?” interjected The Angry Beaver whose head was hurting. 
"Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs, ” replied her godmother. “Raw.” 
“How so, raw?” inquired The Angry Beaver.
“Well, . . .” And once again, The Angry Beaver was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Sweden anymore. 
“But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes, ” lamented The Angry Beaver.
“Tilda died this morning, ” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.” 
“What?!” interjected The Angry Beaver.. “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.” 
“Not anymore, ” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not any easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Swedish fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing - being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.” 
This represents only a fraction of The Angry Beavers’s day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fibre boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet. 
Tune in tomorrow when The Angry Beaver needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized and that Michelle Obama is really a dude named Mike Obama.

what I do know is Sweden has the largest ferret farm on earth and export large amount of fur products, and she turned blind on this fact

[qasimrashidi]

This feels like a kid who did not want to got to school and found her reason.

[chlone]

I don't trust her at all. she needs to explain the ‘Greta Thunberg’s toolkit’ scandal in india

[johnjamesleahy]

has she ever answered questions off script? i remember that time a reporter asked her an honest to goodness great question and she said something like why dont you ask the other people lol

[andrewjones]

If you're a fan of her, explain what's so great about her - without mentioning her age.

[fredcloud]

Bless her heart. She has some real problems.

[jennifersolomon]

If she truly wanted to start a movement then put a sock in it, gather her young followers and volunteer their time to clean rivers & oceans of the plastics. That should get people following the youths example. Instead they march around screaming, annoying folks, wasting time and money. Talk talk talk what good is it doing instead do do do.

[andrewjones]

She hasn't said anything that other activists haven't said before.

[bella]

She scares tf out of me with her “how dare you?!” There’s so much hatred there.

[andrewjones]

She has gained unjustified fame, fortune & praise by jumping on the bandwagon of a trendy cause.

[andrewjones]

If she were a decade older, no-one would have taken any notice of her. She'd merely be one of many thousands of ordinary activists.

[prithviraj]

Who is the person controlling HER 🤔
is she even honest or reading script

[janicecooley]

Fear her! lmao not likely she nothing but a pampered puppet lol.

[Little_Nicky]

It is good that she walks with her legs around the world for her speeches and her superpowers help her keep warm without burning any kind of material, her clothes made of nothing, the energy for her mic that she speaks from comes from the same nothing that comes out of her mouth. On another point, Arnold talking about terminating pollution while he drives tanks and cars that require 100 gallons of gas per meter. It is just painful to see all these hypocrites telling people what to do while they are living just like the rest of us or way much better at the cost of nature. Peace!

[andrewjones]

Don't give her more undeserved publicity.

[sc]

Funny no one has mentioned how many millions have been stuffed in her bank account

[robinsydney]

Thunberg father doesn't comb his hair; Thunberg... well, you can see for yourself. Unsuspecting girl very well used by the parents/media, etc. Wonder what will happen when she realizes.
