I wouldn't have wasted my time on Trump, says Greta Thunberg

[Soph0571]

Teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg said on Monday that talking to U.S. President Donald Trump at a United Nations summit on global warming would have been a waste of time since he would not have paid any attention.
----
Asked what she would have said to the president if they had spoken, Thunberg said: “Honestly, I don’t think I would have said anything because obviously he’s not listening to scientists and experts, so why would he listen to me?

“So I probably wouldn’t have said anything, I wouldn’t have wasted my time,” she said.

More sense than him and his cabinet put together!

And this is sooooo cool

What happened when... @GretaThunberg met David Attenborough for the first time?

Two exceptional people having a lovely chat about something that is so important.

7. And all the GOP ass in congress. It's the young folks like Greta that will write the history.

I hope they are not kind to the adults in this world that have ignored climate change science.

19. History certainly won't be kind to the deniers or the naysayers, or the bullshit-swallowers.

And that’s how it should be.

2. Exactly what you said - "more sense than him and his cabinet put together"

Thanks to reply #7. That is a great line, I love it!

I have read some great replies lately here on DU.
That one will stick with me ... forever.

20. You're welcome from #7.

And when it is time to write the history they will likely have access to all the data that Trump has been hiding.

Like the highly restricted "server" that's in the WH. On that server, it is likely that the real conversations about Ukraine are hidden.

As well as the secret meetings with Putin and other world tyrants that Trump aligned himself with.

11. Can't wait for the tweet backlash from Trump

He won't be able to let a strong woman have the last word.

15. I wouldn't either

He'd interrupt you bragging about how great he is.

16. Dayum. That girl is smart waaay beyond her 16 years of age.

She blows my mind. I remember when my friends and I were 16, and, well, we were 16. She puts adults to shame, on so many levels.

17. I'd rather circumcise myself with a rusty chainsaw than talk to that orange moron.

18. Attenborough is a Treasure but

He has peers-but there is only one Greta! One for the ages!

21. If you watched the Skype meeting between Greta and Attenborough. He warned Greta that sustaining....

a meaningful message will be the hardest thing for her going forward.

She acknowledge that she could see that even now.
