Climate activist Greta Thunberg apologized after saying that world leaders who don't act on climate change should be put "against the wall."Thunberg, 16, who has been striking against climate change by skipping school for the past year, claimed on Saturday that the Swedish to English translation incorrectly implied she thought politicians should be killed."Yesterday I said we must hold our leaders accountable and unfortunately said 'put them against the wall'. That’s Swenglish: “att ställa någon mot väggen” (to put someone against the wall) means to hold someone accountable," she said. "That’s what happens when you improvise speeches in a second language."

A lot of dog stories in the media today. Between this and the Comey apology, they have lots of dog stories lined up.

Did her handlers pull up on the leash because she slipped and revealed their plans too early?

#2, she doesn't appear to have reached menarch, so Midol would not be necessary.
It isn't a second language poroblem - it is a problem when a mentally ill child is given the wrong words to spout.

World leaders who act on climate change should be put "against the wall." There, I fixed it.

We believe your excuse, St. Greta. About as much as we believe in man made climate change.

Sweetie, what is the perfect climate? Who gets to decide?
Do you believe in a Divine Creator?

Said apology accepted, OBVIOUSLY it was my fault that I can't translate LITERAL Swedish correctly. Sorry Greta, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Translate this for me
"Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother …. she 16 years and thinks she runs the planet …
Have a nice train trip. I think that as soon as you cross the border into Sweden (is it) your usefulness will be done and you'll have to go to school with the other kids on Friday.

This little mentally ill child has never "improvised a speech" in her life. That would take a much higher level of maturity than she is mentally capable of.
She read off her script that some evil lie-beral adult wrote for her, and it meant the exact threat that it said!!!!
But now that it got way more blowback than they expected, now they wrote her a nice little apology speech.
The evil adult puppet masters that pull her strings need to be neutered, and she needs to get the mental health services that she needs instead of wasting her teenage years as a performing show poodle for the enviro-Nazis!!!!!!

I don't see a happy ending for Greta. At some point, whoever is pulling her strings will abandon her, or will overreach. Greta will be the one to pay the price. I'm thinking of Samantha Smith and Jessica Dubroff.

How much does a 16-year-old know about climate change? Only the one-sided articles produced by climate change gurus have written, which are not complete studies. There are as many studies that oppose the severe climate change that is published by the scientist that claim disaster is upon us. Past climate activity is ignored. The last mini ice age ended in 1850. In the last 2,500 years, there have been two mini ice ages along with Noah's flood. Don't tell me Noah's flood is a biblical myth, it happened. They have discovered parts of the ark and have posted reasonable information that the ark parts are real and part of a gigantic boat.

I bet that if she hadn't skipped so many history classes in Swedish school she would know why it means the exact same thing in Swedish as it does in English.

Greta should go to Disney World and some frivolous fun as a teenager. Also, try to smile and not take things so seriously.

I would think that calling to have the leader of your country executed for not doing what you demand should be enough to revoke her visa, for life, along with those of her handlers. We have enough narrow-minded violent hate-mongers without importing more.

She meant what she said. The left and the climatistas would do exactly that if given the power. They would literally use execution as a means to enforce their will on us peasants.
#20 brings up an interesting point about the end of the Little Ice Age. It was tapering off but still extremely cold when the Civil War broke out. One of the biggest reasons the North waged war on the South was that they would lose access to the warm water ports...Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans, etc. The northern ports were still ice-choked in the winter and mostly unavailable. There goes the North's import-export business and Lincoln had those businessmen screaming bloody murder at him to invade the South.

Got mad and told the truth. A vicious little ecoNazi who would kill all of us for "violating the climate rules" if she could do it.
A dangerous psychopath.

I'm pretty sure that it is impossible for this little creep to actually smile, actually understand any other human being. She's a nasty, leftist robotic scold.....with tendencies to violence, like all totalitarian leftists.
