President Trump said climate activists were out-of-touch 'alarmists' and the 'heirs of yesterday's fortune tellers' during his appearance at the World Economic Forum, as prominent climate activist Greta Thunberg looked on. 'This is not a time for pessimism. This is a time for optimism,' Trump said in Davos, Switzerland Tuesday, in stark constrast to Thunberg and others, who used the conference to warn that the Australian wildfires and other disasters were only the beginning of the climate chaos that lie ahead. To 'embrace the possibilities of tomorrow,' Trump said, 'we must reject the perennial prophets of doom

This is not quite true. The President never specified "climate activists." He condemned alarmists and heirs of yesterday's fortune tellers, and in particular socialists by name. When I listened to the speech I never thought he was limiting his criticism to "climate activists."
Trump is not shy about naming names, Lord knows. So when he doesn't it might be, Nikki Schwab, that he has a larger target than you do.

Two names in the headline; The Leader of the Free World, Elected by American Citizens, who presides over the world’s most powerful military and vibrant economy that he created... a decider with immense power and vast and successful executive experience....
And some kid which a mental/social defect (Asperger's syndrome), that hasn’t been elected class president. She is Media created fiction because they can’t get someone elected.

We must also reject the foolish rants of immature teenagers who think they know everything but actually know nothing.

Greta is a child. She is nothing more. I despise the way the left is pimping her.
Trump is handling this child like a loving father. He is just telling the truth. Greta needs to hear it.

The climate activists give gold-diggers a bad name! They are just after the money. Of course, they also recruit useful idiots, who are easily misled.

If he had said what they said he said why didn't they put in the quotes? No I suspect #1 has it right. I only believe Trump said what is in quotes.

We've had the nuclear energy option available to us for decades. We could have been energy independent from the oil cartels for decades. We still have nuclear available; even cold fusion is a variant on nuclear, so if Greta and her Chicken Little alarmists are so concerned for the effects of MMGW, why not also encourage more STEM among the younger generations so the next Einsten/Oppenheimer will come forth and provide the breakthru in technology that will give us both SAFE and CHEAP and RELIABLE energy.

Of all the posts on this site, it seems to me that the Daily Mail is the most interested in stirring hatred.

Trump nails it, again.
That creepy little kid is still creepy, and preachy, and totally unaware of how ignorant and manipulated she is.

The earth's climate changes as it rotates around the sun. Who has the power to change how the earth rotates the sun and controls the atmosphere around the earth?

#13- “Who has the power...?” God. The universe is God’s creation and He is sovereign over all all things—including weather, as so “celestially” described in Scripture. One of the most beautifully written is Job 37:10-24 – “By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast. He loads the thick cloud with moisture; the clouds scatter his lightning. They turn around and around by his guidance to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world. Whether for correction or for his land or for love, he causes it to happen. ... Therefore men fear him; he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.”
Weather: Matthew 5:45, 8:26-27; Mark 4:39-41; Luke 8:24-25; Acts 14:17 -- Genesis 8:22; Leviticus 26:4; Deuteronomy 28:12; 1 Kings 8:35-36; 2 Chronicles 6:26-27; Job 5:10, 26:8-9, 28:25-27, 36:26-33, 37:1-18, 37:10-24, 38:24, 38-41; Psalm 78:26, 135:7, 147:8, 148:8; Proverbs 3:19-20; Jeremiah 5:24, 10:13; Jonah 1:4, 4:8; Zechariah 10:1

So St. Greta shows up at an international conference among world leaders in a tee shirt, hoodie and sweat pants. And she wants to be taken seriously? She belongs on the playground.
