“We’ve all been on quite an adventure,” she told reporters shortly after stepping off the catamaran La Vagabonde, on which she had hitched a ride back to Europe. “It feels good to be back.” “We will continue the fight there to make sure that within those walls the voices of the people are being heard,” she said.

“I am not travelling like this because I want everyone to do so,” said Greta. “I’m doing this to sort of send the message that it is impossible to live sustainable today, and that needs to change. It needs to become much easier.” “She has been a leader that has been able to move and open hearts for many young people and many people all over the world,” Ms Schmidt said at the summit in Madrid.The summit comes as the UN weather agency released a report showing the current decade is likely to set a new 10-year temperature record, providing mounting evidence that the world is getting ever hotter.

Oh just put her on a jet ffs

Ah question! When does she go to school and get the education she would need to understand the topics she is so called talking about....

Will she be walking back to Sweden, where extreme cold is now setting in for winter?

16 is not a 'kid', try to think of any other 16 year old that refers to themselves as a kid.

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-Greta Thunberg SOCIALISM cantwait
