Teen activist GretaThunberg has taken a swipe at Australia’s leaders during the bushfire crisis, urging climate change policies to “change now”.

The teen, who celebrated her 17th birthday on January 3, took to Facebook earlier today to share a horrific image of a kangaroo fleeing flames as a fire engulfs a home.

“Australia is on fire. And the summer there has only just begun. 2019 was a year of record heat and record drought. Today the temperature outside Sydney was 48.9°C,” she wrote. “And yet. All of this still has not resulted in any political action. Because we still fail to make the connection between the climate crisis and increased extreme weather events and nature disasters like the #AustraliaFires.”“That has to change. And it has to change now,” she posted.Within hours, her post has attracted thousands of likes, shares and comments.

Another said: “It really says a lot about us as a species when a 16 year old has more intelligence, common sense and compassion than the world leaders. You give me hope for my children Greta, they just take that hope away and my heart breaks seeing this all over the news.”

GretaThunberg Love that photo always looks like she is trying to squeeze something out

GretaThunberg The idiot can do something more constructively than request meaninglessness

GretaThunberg Yes, s morrison to be blamed, but pleaee I mean please send her to school.

GretaThunberg perhaps Greta can come over and help fight our fires

GretaThunberg Mind your own business...go have some education.. i heard university's are free in Europe

GretaThunberg She’s right but the one-eyed and the Green bashing obsessed won’t see past her youth or her passion to admit it. It’s far easier to stick heads in the sand and look for scapegoats.

GretaThunberg How dare you! My dog also an activist says woof woof woof! Makes about the same amount of sense does what she is told and very similar IQ. Back to school child

GretaThunberg Before you talk get your facts right

GretaThunberg Talk is cheap... Come here and do something.

GretaThunberg hahaha. go back to tik tok Greta

GretaThunberg Im sure someone will hack the satellites with these laser platforms ... Could be highly entertaining?!

GretaThunberg We will. We will ignore CC now, and focus on Ferals and Arsonists.

GretaThunberg Admire her courage but can do without the snarling facial expressions .Very off putting.

GretaThunberg Deregister the GreensParty for a start. Unlock the National Parks, allow cattle to graze, allow backburning to reduce fuel and allow owners to create firebreaks around their homes without copping hefty fines. BlameTheGreens

GretaThunberg GretaThunberg I Agree with climate change but using the bushfires here in Australia to promote the climate change is not the way to go shame on you shame.... shame.... shame.

GretaThunberg Change what exactly?

GretaThunberg Can't see what Australia has to do with climate change , if she is certain co2 output causes our bushfires then it isn't our fault , we are about 1% of global output .

GretaThunberg How about you wait till all this is over you are not helping anyone.😏😏😏. It’s bad enough as it is without you making comments. 🙄🙄

GretaThunberg If Greta turns her attention to India and China.. then we may listen.. Until then, it's nothing but selective outrage and attention seeking

GretaThunberg Ignore the Libtard Drama Queen😖

GretaThunberg Dial a headline. More click bait to generate money. How about you all the revenue raised from Greta articles and donate it to the Bushfire cause?

GretaThunberg Why is this demented fruit bat even making a headline. Greta, call off ur arsonists.

GretaThunberg Wow she’s an expert in Australian bushfire management now?

GretaThunberg Climate change policies are not our countries priority right now. Saving lives is and minimalising damage to property. Perhaps in the wake of all of this that may be a valid point. Not now! The brat will do anything to further her agenda

GretaThunberg Go back to school kid

GretaThunberg Greta is an ill informed puppet. Want to change something Greta? Pick up a hose. Typical teenager, look at me I’m so smart I see a problem. But even more typical is... doesn’t want or can’t fix it. Just whinges. Go away or I’ll tell what I really think.

GretaThunberg Get this creepy young adult out of the media and back to the classroom

GretaThunberg It’s climate change activists that have caused the fires by not allowing controlled burns of vegetation in cooler months

GretaThunberg Greta thinks she knows more than actual scientists ignores Australian Climate History... ClimateChange Greta

GretaThunberg Climate deniers are worse than antivaxers! auspol AusProgressive

GretaThunberg This kid should be at school with her coal power heater on.

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg Well when fake News continually doesn't report that over 50 arsonist have been arrested for deliberately lighting fire's. What more can this snotty nosed kid come up with apart from the brainwashed ideas of parent's and fake news articles in media

GretaThunberg Huh it’s arson darling not climate change that has find this & ScoMo is not responsible for the fires

GretaThunberg Has little Greta’s management team 🔥 fired her up again 🙄thought they were retiring her 🤔🙈👼🤪

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg How dare she?

GretaThunberg nobody cares what She thinks,if you could actually call it thinking ? By the way why dont you off!! You are the Main Stream Media and we all know how full of sheet UR. Now hurry along and pack ya bags ya done !! WE R THE NEWS NOW

GretaThunberg GretaThunberg Have you discussed historical climate conditions with Indigenous Australian leaders, who’s ancestors passed on that’s knowledge to multiple generations over thousands of years. Didn’t think so 🤫 ...

GretaThunberg Living at home with mum & dad directing criticism at adults trying to deal with complex global issues. Your weekly main stream rhetoric on climate issues has started to become a little cringe. How dare you...

GretaThunberg So, what? They needed more arsonists?

GretaThunberg Why would anyone listen to a challenged teenager?

GretaThunberg I agree more needs to be done but yelling only preaches to the converted how about talking and offering real solutions.

GretaThunberg They already did.

GretaThunberg Shut up GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg 16yr old school dropout is salty...

GailCoastie GretaThunberg Oh, Inviting more hatred? We really don't need this 💩 from you right now! People are hurting here!

canamaya GretaThunberg Greta, the primary cause of the fires was arson and fires were exacerbated by lack of backburming and fuel load clearance. Nothing to do with “Climate change”.

GretaThunberg Passé non event...irrelevant

GretaThunberg stiffshit gotoschool puppet joker

GretaThunberg How dare you!

GretaThunberg Stay out of our business. We’ll sort out our own problems.

GretaThunberg Hey Greta , if ur Green protesters had not prevented Hazard Reduction burning here & the arsonists hadn't lit the fires then we would not have had them at all.. u should worry about ur parent's brainwashing u with this climate change rubbish & go back to school!

GretaThunberg Australia is in a shocking drought about 100 years after the last bad one, dry lightning, trees on powerlines & arsonists play a big part. As everything is tinder dry, plenty of undergrowth & homes in the way there’s plenty of fuel that’s burning hotter than normal.

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg 'That photo is a bit threatening'

GretaThunberg Do you report on the views of every undereducated child?

GretaThunberg Greta is not our PM, she is a high school dropout, ignore everything this drop kick says, not the sharpest tool in the shed.

GretaThunberg Oh gee we better act then if a spoiled teen has told us to 🙄 regressiveLeft

GretaThunberg You little upstart what the hell would you know about Australia? Other than what some publicist told you to say. Be a kid not a precocious brat 👎

GretaThunberg Omg Greta, you have got to be kidding....Imagination.....

GretaThunberg How dare she!

GretaThunberg Maybe she should have a word with DanielAndrewsMP

GretaThunberg Seriously who cares what she thinks!! Worry about your own country and we will worry about ours!! unwelcome

GretaThunberg It’s nothing new in Australia. Check our history. The only reason these fires appear more severe than the previous thousands of years is because of climate alarmists like her, who beat it up to be so. Take the media out of it and we have just another summer of bush fires

GretaThunberg Does she always look this angry or you use the same pic over n over again?

BridgetOFlynn GretaThunberg Funny how a child knows better than most conservatives...

GretaThunberg The fires were deliberately lit!! How dare she politicise such a catastrophic and heartbreaking situation!! Shame on her..

GretaThunberg Eco Socialist Operative. Go back to school, get a part time job at a local shop. You’re a cartoon

GretaThunberg Who?

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg Keep your and George Soros twisted views for where ever you come from How dare you give anyone advice I have t shirts older than you ..little fool

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg She knows where she can stick her thoughts.

GretaThunberg How bout we get the fires under control before we slap another issues on the government

GretaThunberg SHUT UP GRETA. ITS WAS HER WORDS THAT HAD TEENAGERS LIGHTING THE BLOODY FIRES WHICH HAS KILLED HUMANS AND ANIMALS

GretaThunberg Pissoff

GretaThunberg Pull your head in Greta, this is nothing to do with climate change. This is idiots lighting alot of the fires. I'm so sick of people using the climate change card

GretaThunberg Instead of a swipe how about a donation.

GretaThunberg Oh that’s right, she has never been to Australia and stood under a gum tree to understand the issue. 1 degree in average temperatures over 80 years did not make these bushfires not managing eucalyptus forests by lazy councils made these fires

GretaThunberg Greta gretathunberg just go away

GretaThunberg How DARE she🤪🤣🤡

GretaThunberg Just what the nation needed. Another cult ambassador with years of indoctrination.

GretaThunberg How much are you donating to those effected from your “Merch” that is made in WHERE GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg Annoying nobody

GretaThunberg Yup another mouth from an non participant who knows little solves nothing but can talk.

GretaThunberg She’s a chucks doll and needs to keep her needle nose out of other peeps business!

GretaThunberg Ssshhhharon

GretaThunberg Why the f%^& would we listen to a walking script when our own native population have been fighting these things for 10,000 years

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg Why are international people suddenly talking about Australia? The fires have been going for months you know.

GretaThunberg Yes, cange now!!!

GretaThunberg Go girl!

GretaThunberg Shut up now! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

GretaThunberg like they are cutting back on resources so their invasion will not effect their possibilities personal note South Koreans hatred for Communists is amazing professional note Vietnamese Socialists hatred for PRC is undeniable PRC need to stop using little girls to win arguments

GretaThunberg Didn’t realise Australian leaders are arsonists

GretaThunberg I wonder why Communists, really care about renewable energy? - Greta is only a pawn - yet their love for Xi JinPink is warped bullcrap

GretaThunberg Oh be quiet little girl and go back to School and grow up

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg None of your business Greta/Sharon

GretaThunberg Not going to change Greta

GretaThunberg Pity these activist weren't still attached to these trees that are burning now. All these fires started because the farmers were forced not to do controlled burns and the forests have been gated. Now how many million animals have been killed because of the greens.

GretaThunberg Go bck 2 school. 16 imo ur opinion is not worldly enough yet 2 b of value!

GretaThunberg It amazes me how people take a complex problem like the Bush Fires and translate it to simple bi- lines in the media. The answers are many and the solutions are complex. Blame seems to me, to be a easy and childish cop out. Both sides of the argument need to work together!

GretaThunberg Read the story about name change to 'Sharon' you are indeed very funny.👍😀

GretaThunberg We do need to change our ways of life now, otherwise our legacy to kids will be masks and water bottles.

GretaThunberg Why The EU’s Pricey Green Deal Will Hurt Workers And The Elderly, While Helping Nobody

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg Something does need to be done about this ArsonEmergency.

GretaThunberg She's classless

GretaThunberg Hey DON’T push your political agenda when people and animals are dying! HAVE SOME RESPECT!!!!

GretaThunberg Go back to school and get an education

GretaThunberg Shut up Greta.

GretaThunberg Can we have just one free day without GretaThunberg 😠

GretaThunberg 🙄🙄

GretaThunberg Talk about riding her wave 🤦🏽‍♂️ how bout she go back to school and learn 9 times table.. I’m sick of seeing this kid pop up on my feed

GretaThunberg For gods sake can we make sure Australians are safe and out of danger zones before we start political garbage

GretaThunberg FFS.. climate change little shit GretaThunberg .. your depressed, repressed and angry and need help. your daddy confirmed this and money helped him.. take a hike in the Altai Mountians and play with the wolves. I'm sure they will love to listen to your climate change rants

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg She sure is loving the limelight atm

GretaThunberg Yeah but there too busy creating ads instead of actually doing something

GretaThunberg Run away nd look after your own business

GretaThunberg Murdoch scum using that photo

GretaThunberg Who cares what a mentally challenged moody teenage grifter says?

GretaThunberg 🙄😴

AdamBandt GretaThunberg The time for pretending there is still time has passed.

GretaThunberg Isn’t it lucky that we see through the puppet strings. Soros does not give two hoots about the environment. Time for him to put the puppet away and slither back to his cave

AdamBandt GretaThunberg Can GretaThunberg provide any insight from her extensive academic knowledge in this field on how to take action. Can she provide any other solutions than the standard go to. Scientists say there are a number of key factors, population control for example. could she discuss this

GretaThunberg GretaThunberg is wrong to take a swipe at our leaders, who are doing an amazing job in this sad time.Many of the fires have been started by arson or careless accident. Droughts happen in this “wide brown land” but “greentape” prevention of hazard reduction has fuelled the fires.

GretaThunberg This is your daily reminder that the only countries that have actually implemented change use nuclear and hydroelectric power to do it. If you don't support massive hydro and nuclear expansion you are part of the problem.

GretaThunberg She knows where she can stick her swipe. Maybe if her parents weren’t hopeless and she wasn’t the result of foetal alcohol syndrome she wouldn’t have needed to be a school drop out. Screw anyone who defends this vile cow.

GretaThunberg This debate and attitudes put forward here highlight the fundamental challenge of our species. The constant battle of self interest against community. The ground is littered with misinformation, venom and manipulation. To move forward, think this through, not just react.

GretaThunberg wish she would crawl into a hole and not come out

GretaThunberg sigh no words.

GretaThunberg Whats climate change got to do with fuck head lighting fires ?

GretaThunberg Go back to school Greta and learn how to handle your anger. You are a high school drop out with handlers paid by Soros.

GretaThunberg Instead her taking advantage of one of Australia’s worst bushfires for her own agenda I’d just want to hear her have a go at China....just once!

GretaThunberg Let’s encourage people to band together - not play the blame game in this horrific time!

GretaThunberg Is there an active volcano somewhere she can just jump into Be1WithDaClimate

GretaThunberg So you are familiar with all of Australian policies then and know all of the changes and what impact they will have....I think not

GretaThunberg When a teenager makes more sense than our world leaders we need to look at who we're electing to Govt. As our country burns let's promise never to forget what the inaction of our politicians has caused ... 500 million animals dead, thousands of homes lost and human life taken.

GretaThunberg I’m tired of wealthy people telling mewhat to do.

GretaThunberg Well i for one would like to personally thank Greta for the amazing assistance she has provided to those affected where others would sit in safety in other countries and use their amazing knowledge of fire frightening to judge

GretaThunberg

davidroxdad GretaThunberg The cult of Murdoch is well represented in the comments here but I support anyone who calls for ClimateActionNow

AdamBandt GretaThunberg Why does the media choose to continually use this image of GretaThunberg? Plenty of others that don’t portray her as an angry child... and good on her, we are talking about this issue which is the point

GretaThunberg The greenies are to blame for not allowing burn off or land clearing during winter.

GretaThunberg Wasn’t 7 of the fires lit by a volunteer fire fighter? Can’t blame climate change for arsonists. 🙄

GretaThunberg Stop using this photo. You’re doing it on purpose. Australia’s burning, were not on your side at the moment, read the room.

GretaThunberg Here we go again, what experience has this girl got Nothing, Fuxk up!

GretaThunberg Greta should go back to school.

GretaThunberg Would be nice if this clown actually did sth to help out rather than yelling at everyone around

GretaThunberg What a crock. There are many more factors involved with these fires then just climate change.

GretaThunberg Snarling and sneering is such a bad look .

GretaThunberg A school dropout who knows nothing off what she speaks unless it’s a written script. Jog on little girl

GretaThunberg Your mate is really starting to piss me off Sam Origsmartassam

GretaThunberg She needs more details to exactly what she will do to change and make the climate better. No point just saying change without a plan.

GretaThunberg Lol, cos this 16yo kid, with no life experience, who lives on the other side of the world, is an expert on Australian bushfires. Spare me the histrionics and let us know what your solution is

GretaThunberg Go away Greta.

GretaThunberg Tell her to go back to school. Off you pop kiddy.

GretaThunberg Nice choice of picture News Corp. You lot are a pack of cowards!

GretaThunberg Hazard Reduction is the key... Climate Change ain’t going to do shit when the underlying growth continues to grow and build to epic proportions.. take a page of the NT fire planning and there might be a better understanding.

GretaThunberg Will someone tell this child to go home andstay there

GretaThunberg Go GretaThunberg you are the best.

GretaThunberg China 🇨🇳?

GretaThunberg There seems to be a lot of angry trolls who are scared of a 17 year olds opinion.

GretaThunberg Every opportunity aggressive speaking people that are chasing notoriety hit on Australia and our PM , I wish they would just shut up .

GretaThunberg Piss off Greta.

GretaThunberg Stfu. Yesterday’s record heat in western Sydney beat the former record set in 1939. Was that year the result of Climate change too? Dope

GretaThunberg Can someone please tell us Australians what we should do besides tax us to death while people like the Greta’s and the Gores Scientists funding useless programs and the company’s selling us renewables get richer and filling the coffers of the UN and Paris Accord 🤔

GretaThunberg She is just someone’s puppet.

GretaThunberg That such a wee girl can strike so much fear into the bellies of grown men.🤡

GretaThunberg Go look at your own backyard Greta and keep your nose out of ours!!!

AdamBandt GretaThunberg Well good that Australian is on Gretas side of are they ?

GretaThunberg Mind your own business, u know very little about Australia or its people. Greenies have many questions to answer, give them buckets and defend the log they wouldn't let me take in winter, or the grass the cows weren't allowed to eat in high country.

GretaThunberg Just fuck off

GretaThunberg All these petals scared witless of a 17yo. Where's their 17yo climate denying prodigy to challenge these children that own the future then?

AdamBandt GretaThunberg Oh, some clueless, brainwashed teenager has taken a swipe? I can live with that. Laughable, really.

GretaThunberg When you come and help the firefighters by providing food, water and the rest they so desperately need you can talk. Till then find another country to preach too.

GretaThunberg ThankYouGreta

GretaThunberg It's because of those who use her as a puppet that the bushfires are out of control

GretaThunberg Her face makes my skin crawl

GretaThunberg Seriously PO Greta and media stop giving her oxygen.

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg Its not the time to bang on about politics when we are still in a state of emergency... How about you use your platform to raise money for the people and the native wildlife RedCrossAU WIRES_NSW NSWRFS

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg For those of you blaming the greens:

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg greta who name is really not greta is entitled to her opinion,

GretaThunberg Hey Greta most of our fires were lid by arsonists and that’s why it got out of control

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg Stop giving her publicity.

GretaThunberg Interesting insights from her dad last week re. her mental state.

GretaThunberg Does (!!) stand for how dare you?

GretaThunberg Please go to school

GretaThunberg First action get the current crisis dealt with and get all the Aussies back leaving in their first world environment. Secondly let's STOP TRASHING OUR PLANET. If you can't see the world is getting trashed by human's you are blind and ignorant.

GretaThunberg We're a little busy trying to save our animals and people and country how about she hold off kicking us while we are down and go after ScottyFomMarketing after the crisis is over like ffs her bullsh*t is only creating more people who want to say F*ck us we should burn

GretaThunberg She should mine her own business

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg Maybe the BDM for global warming should learn that many of the native flora species only germinate after fire.

GretaThunberg Hey Greta, tell that to the arsonists who started the fires otherwise please find someone else to condemn

GretaThunberg It was arsonists.

GretaThunberg

GretaThunberg she should be taking a monster whack at Germany's anti nuclear policy

GretaThunberg Because that’s really going to put the fires out right now as we speak. FMD.

GretaThunberg More needs to be done!

GretaThunberg Stfu. Stop encouraging this juvenile delinquent

GretaThunberg How about she shuts up and gets back in school where she belongs? Hell, she should find a husband and have kids because it's the only way she'll ever be useful. Nobody cares what the climate cult has to say.

GretaThunberg Sit down love

GretaThunberg How dare she
