How green is Greta Thunberg's transatlantic trip?

And as far as environmentally friendly companies go, Malizia is up there in terms of actively contributing to ocean research and the impacts of climate change on marine environments.

While the engine will stay turned off at all times, it will remain fully operational and ready to use in case of an emergency.But the journey will not be 100% engine free, as the yacht will be assisted by Torqeedo RIBs powered by electric engines during docking manoeuvres at the start and finish to tow it out of and back into port.:: How will electricity be generated on board?

It says the boatyards that construct the yachts are aware of the resulting and indisputable environmental impact during boat construction and attach great importance on a sustainable building process.Malizia II is fitted with solar panels and underwater turbines that produce electricity on board

GretaThunberg 🐂💩 the hypocrisy of one carbon footprint that cost 5 people's flights to the USA for a crew to sail the boat back ! Plus another 6 inc her for flights back 🤔 so 11 flights to publicise one idiots idea ! Not very carbon neutral then was it

GretaThunberg “Of course, they fly over there.”

GretaThunberg Is she going to go n lecture China

GretaThunberg Made of paper and lies

GretaThunberg When I need a trip to the West Indies how come no-one with £4m yacht pops up and offers me a free ride?

GretaThunberg Well I like her. In fact, I'd buy her a double bacon cheeseburger anytime.

GretaThunberg Antifa has a navy now

GretaThunberg If god forbid, she hits a storm and perishes at sea, will the world be convinced that travelling across the Atlantic by boat is a greater risk to human life than crossing by plane?

GretaThunberg I’m off on my holidays today... in a ✈️

GretaThunberg Good luck and such an inspiration...... safe travels 😉❤️

GretaThunberg Unfollowing until this story goes away from my timeline. How many times do you have to post this

GretaThunberg So much negativity in the comments. At least Greta's DOING something. And trying to stay true to her beliefs. ThankYouGreta

GretaThunberg If only we all had millionaires to sail us around the world 🤔

GretaThunberg Carbon free with diesel engines

GretaThunberg Boring everyone now !

GretaThunberg Sanctimonious little girl being groomed by the media and politicians and vested interests.

GretaThunberg As a 16 year old she shouldn’t have such big mental health issues. Worrying isn’t a good sign.

GretaThunberg Where’s the shite in the Blue bucket go

GretaThunberg Why do the opinions of a schoolchild matter more than the rest of us?

GretaThunberg The flight she could have taken still flew though. Plus there is a strong chance that she will have to be rescued mid Atlantic in an operation involving dozens of boats and planes. Absolute idiocy.

GretaThunberg Carbon free its a carbon mono hull sail boat that probably took months of power usage and man power to build . it would have been more carbon neutral to buy a boat second hand

👍

GretaThunberg 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴 more fake news

Do as I say not as I do, typical kid of privilege being brought up to the usual attitude of wanting the food life and for any sacrifice to be from others

Always attack the messenger when you can’t attack the message

Given that Thunberg’s stunt has already aroused press interest who’s activities are “carbon intensive” then the answer is NO. It’s just a gimmick!

Has she not heard of video conferences, it's just a publicity stunt

Hope the little pain in the arse falls overboard

Hope the weather isn’t bad 😏

I seen her travelling to the boat on a dinghy powered by a fuel injected outboard 😂

It's not already, the design and manufacture of £15m boat was not carbon neutral, the mould for the hull and deck alone has it's resin baked at 120c. Can't be 100% green if add carbon to build method of transport. You do maths. Btw; is she swimming home?

Is she travelling back the same way?
