CTVAtlantic Why don't we look back at how the earth survived other climate change events? What did humans do back then to save the world?..........

I wonder how much money she’s making off of this?

When is this Children of the Climate Cult kid leader going to fly back home? Hypocrite climatecult

She’s wrong. They aren’t trying at all

Sick & disgusting how this poor kid has been brainwashed & used. Even worse is the disgusting media which is pushing it SHAME

Kind of hard when millions of ppl in Toronto have 2 or more part time jobs forcing ppl to commute several times a day adding to carbon admissions.

Climate change?

😂😂

A prop for the left...very sad...progressives are so unlikable

How many scientific theories go through a branding change (from global warming to climate change) and hire a teen aged spokes person? This is a marketing and PR effort and seems to have little to do about science.

O and she is a expert? Goofs imo

She's absolutely correct. We all need to be doing a great deal more to combat climate change. We need to demand a great deal more from our governments & industry, in terms of reducing emissions. Everyone of us needs to be trying much harder.

We know she's lying, but Congress could definitely learn a thing or two from this girl about diplomacy.

Liberals should really stop taking advantage of Gullible autistic children to use as your walking Propaganda signs

‘She the North’ rally for Bianca Andreescu takes over MississaugaA little rain could not keep thousands of people from gathering in Mississauga on Sunday to celebrate hometown hero and U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu. Wouldn't it be nice if we gave first responders a rally every single day for the lives they save? I guess they will just have to go win a tennis match to get recognition and people to give a shit!

Iran’s Supreme Leader rules out talks with U.S. as tensions rise in wake of attacks on Saudi oil facilitiesAyatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran will not negotiate with the U.S. until the Trump administration reverses course and rejoins the multiparty nuclear agreement that Trump walked away from in 2018 Cancelled Nothing is better to come out of a recession as a military skirmish leading to world war. US declares war against Iran, Russia helps Iran and effectively declares war on US, Europe backs US through NATO and China backs Russia. Anti-Globalism at its best.
