Time to 'get angry', teen climate activist says in Davos
[PULSE.NG] Her train journey from Sweden took 32 hours, but Greta Thunberg is not tired. The teenager is dead-set in her mission to persuade the global elite in Davos to take climate action.

#1 "Sure lady, just step right into this booth right here and make the selection of your choice. I recommend slow and painful. Enjoy your sacrifice for the planet!"

I mean, if they are serious, why aren't they offing themselves?

#4 Always liked T. grandiflora... Swedish flag, wot?

Its servants immune to inertia,
A vast all-entwining Thunbergia
Creeps westward to feast
From the tropical East
Until justice rolls down like a virga.

#5 Okay, is this the creepiest kid alive? Magic YouTube sez, "Signs point to yes." Yikes. A prayer for Sweden...

O nebulous spiritual spark
And stout-hearted Stockholmers, hark!
Bestow your protection
On Sweden's projection
And little green Greta of Dark.

#6 Why do these kind of people (Nazis, Communists, Ropers, Enviros) always think that they're the only ones who know how to get angry?

#8 I seem to recall that air travel is actually pretty fuel efficient. Corrections welcome.
For real virtue signaling, Creepy Kid should have traveled by ox cart.

#9 Real virtue signalers crawl naked on their knees in blizzards over broken glass. She's a mere piker.

#10 Environmentalists that want to actually change things should make a very good case for that change and provide a reasonable solution, and folks will change. They want to do good.

Examples: Save the dolphins eat albacore instead.
McDonald's Styrofoam packaging. Stopping the pull-top pollution. Heck litter in general.

Yeah you actually have to have a good case, and a solution, the top down force the peasants to change isn't gonna cut it.
