Climate campaigner Greta prepares to sail to the U.S. to avoid flying

To avoid traveling by air, Thunberg is making her trans-Atlantic trip on board the 60-ft yacht, the Malizia II, fitted with solar panels and underwater turbines that produce electricity onboard, with the aim of making the journey zero-carbon. Earlier this month, the boat’s skipper told Reuters the 16-year-old activist, who has become a figurehead for young environmental protesters, faced an uncomfortable voyage on board the yacht which is designed for speed rather than luxury.

Thunberg is due to depart this week from an as-yet undisclosed location in Britain and will be accompanied by her father, Svante, and a cameraman on the journey.

And if she sails in a wooden boat they use oil based sealant to protect the wood.

This girls' access to MSM is ridiculous. Is she proposing we shut down international airports and send product by sail boats?

She should swim all the way there! 😇

Miss gogole épinglée sur ses contradictions flagrantes - voyages exclusifs en avion significativement prouvés POLLUANTS - voudrait prendre un voilier pour l'Amérique...Gogole perroquet en mission, gretathunberg n'est qu'une idiote recrutée sur ce critère finalement! PATHETIQUE

Yeah because the sailboat will preserve its trash and dump it on the moon.Ah yes we must not forget that the sailboat is made with environmentally clean materials.Oh the stupidity of it all.Or should I be politically correct and call it 'overdoing it'.

So unemployed then?

Surely she can fly there on angel's wings.....

She needs to stay where she's at, we don't need another theory conspirator nut job here!!

Nice that she has fine Patrons and backers to offer a sleek racing Yacht for her trip. Maybe she will learn to sail?

Skype remains broken.

Or she could just stay home

Feed the sharks.

Green new deals pop now world order pop poor girl

Swedish people..

Perfect time for ThePerfectStorm...

She can actually swim. Do you people know where they do brain transplants She need one

She's amazing. But the BBC reporter joining her for a bit on this no-frills ride gave an amusing account of its harrowing nature. 😁

Technocracy for Idiocracy

Lmao!!

The effort is good for the media exposure but The problem is avoiding flying doesn't stop the actual flight that she may have taken from flying anyway

Hahaha

Given her views, I have tremendous respect for her decision. She’s living her values, unlike our climate-hypocrite of a Prime Minister, JustinTrudeau, who is addicted to his tax-payer funded government jet. Hey JT, you could learn a thing or two from this girl. cdnpoli

She can travel with a donkey or camel that's her business,she is a disturbed kid😌😌😌😌😌

Correction: Doomsayer pollutes air and water and destroys maritime life by insisting on sailing to protests which she could participate in, via Skype.

To raise publicity. In reality, she is a frequent flier.

Well, at least she's sailing in style, I understand she's hitched a ride with a member of the Monegasque Princely family on their yacht, only the best for our little Greta, what time is the caviar served? Just kidding, at least she does practise to an extent of what she preaches.

Good luck!

I go to Super Market With My Cycle everyday 🤣 she use Car but not Airplane . Bull Shit

Please go to China and India first

This is ridiculous 😔

Whut we gonna do if she applies for asylum once she gets here?

A delusional girl.

It falls to parents to explain to their kids that human caused climate change is a monstrous fraud.

Wasn't there an aircraft flying on sunlight?

That ship uses water I guess? Lol

Greta should campaign for the loss of her country, she needs to campaign for quality of life before telling others about her personal desire or the lies she has been listening to or grow up a bit to differentiate to what is real and what is not__total waste of space__

In future news….

Let’s campaign for Greta to do a Mark Spitz and win ALL the Nobel prizes! GretaThunberg NobelPrize climatejustice

Hows she getting back?

why not swim to usa，which is the best way to protect the enviroment.

🤔Has anyone explained how Private boats ships & military use our Oceans floors as a dumping site for RawSewage & garbage in open waters? 3milerule & dump the 💩

Are you kidding me wtf Who that lil girl traveling on the ocean!!

Will she arrested and Caged by ICE. ?.

Why not just use Skype?

That poor, abused child.

Left rejoice lol

No one cares. Another radical who is close minded.

Isn’t the boat made out of a material that involves carbon?

Let her swim..

With a rubber boat? All other boats used to sail are making the same damage like airplanes,if not worst.

Just don’t go!

Hahaha

Can't she walk there?

is it a sail boat?

why doesn’t she swim

This shows how irrational ideologies are self-defeating. Good for us.

Carbon footprint to build a boat?

What a muppet 🤣

More flying is involved in this operation than if Greta had boarded an economy class service from Arlanda to JFK. With her daddy Svante, of course. GretaThunberg ClimateChange fakenews

LittleApocalypseGirl

yes sail in a 15 millions dollars boat - how does she think that boat was made?

Nice to have the time to do such a crossing by sail . . . hope they won't need to use the genset . . .

Ah yes. Spread your sails my dear. Spread your sails.

How stupid......

Better watch out with icebergs with all that climate change crap

Poor soul. I hope she can reckon with her behavior once she finds out many years from now how she’s been fooled.

Hopefully it will be a sail boat not a diesel engined one..

Nice life problems 😨

Great! We don't have to listen to her for weeks.

Breeze_CA She should use a paddle boat.
