'President Joe Biden betrays our generation by greenlighting the Willow Project.' | Opinion by Greta Thunberg, Sophia Kianni and Vanessa Nakate

President Joe Biden’s recent approval of the Willow Project in Alaska has alarmed many young people and once again made us question his seriousness about addressing the climate crisis before it is too late. His decision to greenlight ConocoPhillips’ massive oil project isn’t just a betrayal of his promises on the campaign trail when he vowed to halt drilling on federal lands and to help the United States make the transition toward clean energy.

6 million messages calling on Biden to reject the plan. But the voices of millions who spurred into action were left gutted on March 13 when Willow was approved. Greenlighting the project also highlights the glaring disconnect between the administration’s climate rhetoric and actions.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

The entire Democratic Party is aligned with him. They all need to go

😆😆😆

If course you don't like the only good things he's ever done

Until you take China pollution seriously and start using nuclear energy I will never believe we have a climate crisis in which we all die in x years.

Nothing to see here folks!!

These little 'climate activist' hypocrites need to all go live in an unheated cave, using stone age tools and eat bugs for a year since they have no idea what life would be like without fossil fuels.

You will thank us Baby boomers one day! You’re welcome in advance!

Honeymoon over?

He betrayed your generation long before that. I find it humorous that the party of youth change and new ideas elect one of the oldest presidents in history who has been in politics for more time than most of you have been alive.

🤣🤡

What she actually believed him? 🤣🤣🤣

It's to late. Gas will be $5.00 a gallon this summer on average.

Ease up, hun. You’re only display the fact your generation is the first to be less intelligent than the one before.

Jesus Christ

I like the headline, the fact cnn acknowledge Joe biden is horrible...

Joe he is so let him do what he wants to do Greta Sophia Vanessa mind your own business find good guys chtol stop poking your nose into the world's problems

You guys still around

North shore Alaska drilling will decrease massively inflated oil and gas prices over time. Climate hoaxers be damned.

I pooped... 💩

Imagine being so dull that you worship an uneducated foreign puppet with signs of FAS. A hypocrite like the rest of them.

Has she ever talked about any projects in the eastern hemisphere (to this day we don’t even have proper carbon data from)

Greta tunberg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 CNN😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Imma be honest the political climate is not there. We need oil and we need gas. Resources are being weaponized. Need better science before we move on.

🤣😂🤣😂

Leftist infighting, exposing there weaknesses!

I farted

Of Greta is against it, it must be a good move by Biden

Biden doesn’t even know what “light” he’s seeing. He’s Governor of Scranton for goodness sakes.

Page 4-Jester 4 KC3 Fair well! 📷Home in Marlboro? Thank you, your Majesty. Hmp-Sherwood district? 'America-Fairfax VA! Shhr-$-One MILL!' It means that I can't live in Palace. 'All yours!' O'-I can't except. 'Thou defies KC3?' You don't know? Haven't created my own ROLE-One Day?!

Biden not delivering on his promises? Say it isn't so. This has never happened before a politician saying one thing to be elected then doing the opposite once elected.

Greta get a job you bum!

Lol but yet she uses a laptop, buses, fire to cook her vegetables 🤣 and uses hotwater to shower right how about that makes you wear

The climatechange president.

Its Business that betray us, not the scape goat.

Maybe these activists should get on their solar powered planes and fly to Alaska to protest.

Oh no the 80-year-old white man betrayed the Democrat party you don't say

Hey Greta. This the biosphere in Arizona. It’s a sealed environment where people attempt to live away from the real world. You might be a lot less angry and fearful living in here. Inquire about it

'It's not Climate Change if I get 10% of the profit.' -Fidel Biden

Good

It may betray these three kids and their misinformation and fear based agenda, but it certainly does not betray their generation. What conceit and arrogance. Millions of their generation need and rely on the benefits of the Willow Project. In fact, so do the three kids.

Not a democrat here but I agree with this. Es sentido común.

This is such a garbage article. Do you have any shame at all. Jesus. You suck on so many levels. Energy independence should be our one and only mission right now. “Climate Change” can wait for the economy to recover.

You know those are piles are dead polar bears next to that oil rig right?

If Greta feels this betrayed, just imagine how betrayed Biden’s daughter feels.

When you go to China, you can’t see the sky except thick pollution instead of clouds and also act like mist but no moisture. You can smell & taste right away. If you have asthma/lung disease, good luck. Greta and her team should write to China to see how well that work.

Well, that is because he needs to fuel the war his administration is about to drag us into. Good luck everyone.

Forget about Nakate, I did not see any campaign regarding the Bugoma forest. EACOP here we come

He's been betraying the American people since he assumed office....

GenZers react on emotions, not logic.

He has to govern by balancing realistic demands of all citizens while all u guys have to do is stand on a street corner and heckle!

Well, Greta should definitely not vote for him then. ...Wait, shes not a citizen so who cares what she thinks?

Biden is complete failure in every aspect of his job.,

its a win win for joe. its no brainer must do and the climate hoax duchebags will all still vote for him

Biden 2024!!

He has too .. Inflation got him fuhd up & he’s got to have something to say “see I’m trying”

Gen Z constantly being conned by Dems and need to wake up

Oil is better than slave labor

😂🤣😂🤣

She should probably not speak since she doesn't have a whole lot of life experience. And she enjoys an extremely privileged and charmed existence thanks to fossil fuels.

No he did not!

You need a better propaganda parrot. She's creepy as hell.

Glamorous Greta ( NOT) not sure if she even has a grade school degree. But she lectures us about science like she’s Einstein.

Greta doesn’t decide our economy. She is young foolish “girl”. USA isn’t a small European country. Our commerce needs fossil fuel, plentiful and cheap. EV’s not the solution. Expensive, short distance and slow charging. Major headwind. POTUS

yes yes, everyone over 30 is a terrible person and so on lol

Kids, unless you plan to cut down the trees with axes to heat homes, you need to realize how energy is made... And how it's not.

There is nothing wrong with the climate. Drill baby Drill!!!!!

But her generation keeps using fossil fuel energy!

Your generation Join the club! Biden is betraying every generation!! Liberalism is a cancer! Pure evil.

'The rubber-stamping of such a project sends a message not just to our generation but humanity as a whole: The future of our planet and the present well-being of frontline communities are being sacrificed for short-term economic gain and political expediency.'

POTUS I hope you read this piece co authored by Greta Thunberg. You know you've really made a mistake when you move her to write for CNN.

Agreed!

Why do you keep tweeting this?

If Biden cared about the environment, he wouldn't have blown up the pipelines.

Hahahaha the left eating their own !!

As expected and fair. Joes stuck in the transitioning middle and playing politics with the cards he’s dealt

Sometimes young people need to learn how the light switch works and how the power that recharges their phones gets to the power point..😑

your opinion sucks ass

nobody cares what some idealistic teenager with zero practical solutions has to say...

😂😂😂

Opinions worth missing 🤢🤮

Finally I agree with Greta on something. potus lied to and betrayed green voters

Likely because Biden knows it's not a crisis! He's trying to walk both sides of the street at the same time and CNN and other media outlets let him. He knows he can't win with a far left policy. Being President means more to him than the people, his promises, etc.

👍😍✌️

Why would anyone question him doing what is needed for our country self interest? This is what he is suppose to do!! We can remove fossil fuels without harming the climate or environment.

Spoiler: There’s no climate crisis, & Biden knows it. The climate hysteria is a weapon used to control the people.

Energy Mastery Demands

Have any global warming predictions/models/warnings come true over the past 50 years? Not that I know of.

From what I have read Biden believed that if he shut it down, legal actions could open the door to many more.

There is no need to worry. The US will make sure the world ends before any potential future climate disaster

Liberals will always turn on each other.

Don’t worry if he gets elected in 2024 he will cancel it, this is just to appeal to moderates, so they don’t think he’s trying to destroy the entire nation, which he is

Hahahaha

'We need to become laser-focused on exposing fossil fuel industries (and their allies, automotive, aviation, and others), and extirpating their influence from our midst. Because it’s not going to stop until we toughen up and wise up. Onwards. '

Willow has ‘stranded asset’ written all over it. Invest in renewables plus storage, and exit dirty fuels.

What about Biden's bombing of Nordstream pipeline? Nothing to say about that?

Greta needs to get laid, maybe she’ll shut up

A fact that a little girl is willing to admit, why?🤔

Kind of like being stabbed in the back!

Why are we listening to the opinion of a girl who has no solutions outside of barebones talking points? She can't even handle an unscripted interview

We don't need to reduce carbon we need to reduce the world population by about 4 billion people

Lmao

Unfortunately, Military Power requires Fossil Fuels and National Security Requires Fossil Fuels. USA still requires Fossil Fuels.

Yawn story

This was already approved. Biden reduced the scope. However, he legally could not stop it from happening. This was a Trump initiative. I think people believe the President has more power than he actually has.

got to throw dogs bones people. win-lose isn't a strategy.

Let's trust a news outlet that has abandoned like 90% of its streaming services due to failure! LOL.

Lol

Biden betrays Americans on a daily basis. Just not in the way Democrats can admit

Doesn't Greta Thunberg have a grade 7 education?

Strangely so many still don't realize beef and cattle farming consumption is the cause of the supposed global warming and not gasoline engines but I am still all for electric cars

Why's everyone shitting on young people? As if the old Gen hasn't messed up the world enough for us and as if we don't have the same but more struggles they did smh. We are the future and they aren't lmao

🤣😂

President Biden has not found a legal way to stop this project that was signed in by trump. …c’mon, what is wrong with you?!

What’s the most recent opinion piece Greta has given on China’s climate change management? Or India’s?

The most F$$ked up Religion on the planet is the Malthusian Marxist Environmentalists that don’t even like people— telling people what to do and attempting to reduce the Human Population by Billions.

Biden betrayed their existence by simply being what he is: the avatar of pure selfish Boomer manifestation.

The administration would of faced lawsuit after lawsuit because the land lease was under ConocoPhillips/Philips

OPEC just reduced the amount of oil we get. Didn’t have to worry about that under Trump.

Greta still learning that, for the most part, politicians (from both sides) will lie & say anything to get elected & are more beholden to corporate behemoths than the ppl who voted them in, seeking $, power & control above all else. Once she understands,it’ll make more sense

He had a flash of clarity and did what's right for the people. He needs to unleash American energy.

We have 100,000 flights a day just commercially, how on earth does no one talk about this when addressing climate protection?

GretaThunberg Feel free to sue him and the United States.

Oh look another opinion by someone with zero idea what they’re talking about

Grow up

One assumes he could stop it which, per those knowing the facts, he could not. So he did what he was allowed to do in mitigating its impact.

Pretending is fun, look everyone they are reporting on Democrats like they're not trying to deflect from there homicides intentional and otherwise.

Why would a Swedish citizen rely on the USA president to save a generation? Just why lol

When gas hits $7.00 a gal average this October and a dozen eggs will cost $8.00 ( already going back up BTW and halfway there!) see how much the LEFT complains. Thanksgiving/Christmas will be cancelled for many due to fuel cost. WATCH! Then thank a Democrat.

Greta, stay in Europe

So where was Greta Thunberg at East Palestine, Ohio? and where was Biden while we’re at it? Both of them are completely full of shit, and anyone dumb enough to follow either of them deserves exactly what they get.

The privileged young people driving this nonsense have never gone hungry, never been cold in the dark. It shows.

So by off setting the potential issues with iran, saudi, russia and more potentially switching to China's currency potentially causing the US to have issues accessing oil is an issue. We need to be drilling to lessen our need for other countries to provide it.

Dang, this chick is beefing with everyone 😅 What's her endgame, besides being famous ⁉️😅

And he’s transphobic… and Jill is a racist

Autocracy

What climate crisis? Lol the fuck are these people talking about?

We can't just shut off oil maybe in 50 or so years the world will be off of oil completely.

ReplyGPT

He betrays all Americans and more

I like Greta but she doesn’t have the facts on this.

Did you tell her that Biden blew up the pipeline yet?

How dare you Joe!

Best dam thing ever done grunt

THE US DOLLAR IS BEING DITCHED BY CHINA & RUSSIA HERE'S HOW YOU CAN PROFIT….👇🏽 1. The banks have started to fail... You must find safe alternative ways to store your money. (e.g. crypto and stocks)

GretaThunberg ppl yesterday watch the news are gay

Lol bootlicking lefties hate Greta now🤣🤣

All biden has done is gone back on his word!!! Typical demoncrat People are still waiting on student loan forgiveness!!

Stop taking climate advice from a teenager on the spectrum, maybe people would take your organization more seriously

Hahahaha, sorry, but this girl makes me laugh a lot

He’s doing it because Russia will continue to kill us on oil. They hold us hostage. If we have our own supply ready then they can’t hold a knife to our throat. How is nobody seeing this. I’m totally for the environment but we all still use Way to much fuel slow it to stop this.

Why doesn’t GretaThunberg criticize China as the 1 contribution to greenhouse gasses? Why doesn’t she propose an alternative? solar and wind have proven unreliable. Does she advocate nuclearpower or does she just campaign with 0 solutions?

Unfortunately, the worlookd is not just nice ideology. Pragmatism is needed and Greta us still at that where everything to her should be black and white. Renewables are not there yet and the traditional gas and oil exporters are playing games look at russia and emirats

Liberal CNN promoting the Democrats fake climate change to destroy America’s economy. Making everything we purchase more expensive, making Americans more poor than ever.

Yes he has betrayed everyone. No, it’s not bc of the “Willow project”.

Whenever a child is presented as an expert, you safely assume they are being used for propaganda.

Have to replace the strategic reserve some how🤪🤪🤪

We will not be able to build the necessary infrastructure without burning massive amounts of fuels. States like California already experience blackouts, which will completely cripple the state with an increase in electric cars.

I'm no fan of Creepy Uncle Joe, but this is a smart move no matter what Thunberg and her 'woke' generation thinks. EVs aren't ready for nationwide, and neither our power grid. This nation runs on fossil fuel, and we can't stop until we're ready. It's not time yet!

Cry more

We need it !! Tell thst kid to go to school

I’ve been hearing global warming for 65 years. Electric is the way to go but by 2050, don’t jam it down everybody’s throat by 2035. Get the infrastructure (charging sta.) and more importantly the electric grid in place. Along with vehicle prices competitive to fossil fuel prices.

Who needs Willow when the future's in Coal?

If he doesn't need Ukraine anymore, Ukraine will be thrown away like a lost child

The reason NordStream 2 was bombed. I'm paying attention.

Oh Greta. Grow up then speak.

Joe is a traitor

It’s not a climate emergency, it’s a climate HOAX.

Hahahahaha shut up freak.

Western country’s are not the problem it’s china and India and I can damn well assure u they don’t give a shit about climate change most of them are worried about food on the table, until poverty is gone nothing will change

“Wah wah” - Dr. Greta Thunberg, honorary PhD

Shame he do not know what he is doing! FORGIVE HIM FOR HIS MILLION SINS PLEASE$$$$$$

I'm sick of extremists on both sides. Yes there are both sides snowflakes.

This is the opinion of CNN, give it the credibility it's worth.

What exactly are Greta’s qualifications on this? Seriously, I’m not gonna give my opinion on agronomy or engineering. People shouldn’t listen to me on those things because I don’t know them. Why do we listen to just anyone on climate?

Clickbait. Misleading. Project Willow was approved under Trump. Biden reduced scale and scope which was viewed as his only legal option. Denigrating the strongest green president in history is neither smart nor effective. Come on. Do better.

He will do anything for votes

Anyone who thinks it's a betrayal has absolutely no idea how the world works nor functions.

Your generation is the most spoiled, narrow-sighted, and misinformed generation EVER!

“Opinion by Greta Thundberg”? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well the Clown has betrayed most Americans so don't get you're pantyhose knotted up Snowflake

Hey GretaThunberg.....please find your roots.

Joe Biden betrays everything

We're gonna need that oil for war

Opinion by a spoiled brat, and not a scientist, GFY

💰

Waffle Project.

She’s such a victim, probably realizes every part of her life is touched by petroleum

What? Greta is still a thing? Her fifteen minutes expired ages ago.

Greta get on the phone and ring Joe and sort this out because there are far more pressing matters that need solutions by both of you.

Not only that. They have not addressed the leaks, which spell disaster for USA and allies. While simultaneously taking advantage of TN for votes, pandering for GenZ voters and failing to mention the reality of a possible draft.

Show me generation he hasn’t “betrayed”.

What is this? A tweet asking liberals to pick a side - Biden or Greta?

You should have stopped your headline after the word generation!

Dump the Production down. Cut it of. For our Planet.

Seriously the worst kind of politicians. Say nice things during the campaign knowing that he/she will not be able to do it.

Yes! Let’s keep investing in oil drilling! Who doesn’t just love paying 4 bucks a gallon for gas! I just can’t wait till it gets to $10/gallon. Betcha green energy will garner sone interest then!

She'd rather continue giving billions to Russia, Iran and Venezuela? The Green movement in Europe effectively got them to hand over their energy needs to Putin, which built him up and made him powerful. A direct line can be drawn from there to his onslaught in Ukraine. Nice work.

'Opinion by Greta Thunberg'

Who?

He is almost at the position like macron, really nobody likes him

We still need fossil fuel, happy or not about it. There is no way we can turn to green resources on a dime, lot of work to do to be there

exactly, our climate policy shouldn't be based on short-term economic factors

Well, I really dont know how the press still give voice to this girl, who is a broadcaster of messages from biased vehicles

Big betrayer vs. little betrayer...

Notice Greta never chides China.

Finally, more from cnn that I agree with again and something that makes sense

A decision that makes since for America

They have no clue

Blah blah blah blah, there.

GretaThunberg You can disagree with various Biden agenda items but let’s stop catastrophizing every decision the WH makes.

The devil has been busy while we were not paying attention watching nba,nfl,nhl or simply watching fictional garbage… Enjoy your hour!!!

I LOVE it when mentally ill kids chew out Dementia Joey. The left is just one big clown and freak show.

Habitual Liar what's so surprising 😮.

Please clear people on the facts of this. It would have been lost case in court by Big Oil. He knew this and had no choice.

Pretty much. That and throwing trans people under the bus is going to lose the all important youth vote. They’re the backbone of the coalition and attacking them is moronic.

America better not go to war for a damn pissing contest with China….

I get her concern, but how and why is she considered an expert on Nature? wisdom Wisdom
