But isn't that what they wanted? What they really mean is that they should be able to fly, but inferior trash like me should not. Much like the remainers attitude toward me, it's one of know your place.

More good news: Greta will be 17 in a month's time, so she won't be the future anyone. They will have to find another dumb kid to exploit.

"Thunberg arrived in New York for the UN climate summit in August after a 14-day journey across the Atlantic in a sailing boat. Since then she has been travelling via train and an electric car borrowed from Arnold Schwarzenegger."

That's exactly what climate activists are. They fly around the world taking the credit, and I must sit at home and pay their price for their virtue. They are generously giving away the rights of others, which as we know are the least valuable of all rights.

Some 25,000 delegates were expected to travel to Santiago for the event.

195 nations, that's 128 representatives from each. Haven't they heard of teleconferencing?

The climate fascists fixed that problem by rebranding it “climate change”, so we’re to blame if it gets hotter or colder.


And they always claim the warming is happening somewhere else, somewhere we never are, like the Sahara desert or the poles.

Back to the original topic, we were chatting about this in the office. The MD happens to be a boat fanatic and has sailed across the Atlantic (among other journeys.)

Let's say Greta is setting off from New York to get to Western Europe. I don't actually care know where she is now...

Baseline: fly in less than 12 hours in an evil jet fuelled by kitten blood.
48hrs in a speedboat - just as evil
3 to 4 days in the fastest sailboat
>5 days for a more commonly available trimaran.
Over a week in a standard sailboat.

Looks like she's gonna miss most of COP25 Sad

Took her 20 days to sail to Lisbon.

https://twitter.com/GretaThunberg/status/1201843947376656384

The news article at the top of this thread is from the 3rd of November so that's how she's managed to get to there in time to join the thousands of other people who've travelled from around the world to discuss how to stop everyone else from travelling internationally and other shit like that.

Shouldn't she be at school?
