Greta Thunberg Warns that People Underestimate ‘the Force of Angry Kids’
[BREITBART] Teenage climate scold Greta "Pippi" Thunberg
...an autistic sixteen year old Swedish expert on climate change...
 issued another warning Tuesday to adults who allow global warming to continue, suggesting they fail to grasp the power of the young.

"People are underestimating the force of angry kids," the 16-year-old Swedish activist told crowds in Lisbon, Portugal. "They’re angry and frustrated."

Ms. Thunberg arrived into a Lisbon port around lunchtime and was greeted by city mayor Fernando Medina and a crowd of well-wishers after spending more than two weeks crossing the Atlantic in a 45-foot catamaran to avoid burning fossil fuels.

Together with British navigator Nikki Henderson and an Australian family, Thunberg set sail back to Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
 from New York on La Vagabonde catamaran on November 13.

Thunberg said she will spend a few days in Lisbon before heading for Madrid, where the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
 COP25 climate summit is already underway.

#3 Shouldn't she be in school?

Conservatives should contact authorities wherever she goes and make sure the parents fulfil their responsibility to educate (and not indoctrinate).

#5 "People are underestimating the force of angry kids"

Angry kids at our house were given labor-centric chores (digging, mowing, weeding, etc.) to do. Seemed to lower their adrenaline levels quite nicely.

We did loose a few flowers and bushes, though.

#6 She needs to go back to school. That’s not how you spell “spoiled brats”.

#9 Greta on the Shelf Doll not so funny now.

That battery's done put in backwards.

Australian family eh? Lisbon via Botany Bay? Who's the navigator, fuggin' Captain Cook? Bustin out the sextant, shootin' the azimuth and comparing star charts and shit?

(Mr. Crabs voice)
Haul the keel up and scrape the barnacles me boys!

#12 Kids are ignorant and easily manipulated,
Underestimate assumes the kids opinions are worth something, they are not. They are just puppets and everyone knows it except the kids themselves.

#15 People are underestimating the force of angry kids

Kids often don't know the effect of being knocked down and getting heart stomped.

#16 This is why the vote (in the US) is restricted to people over 18. Some idiots want to lower the voting age to 16 or even younger.
If I had my way, the age would be raised to 35 - you have to be old enough to be president for you can vote.
And stay off my lawn.

#17 So I am not afraid to spank some smart assed kid. But with that said I do know the power of children that are as hateful as they are misinformed and what they are capable of. Pol Pot knows of them as well.

#18 I'd be happy to go back to the landowner's vote system. Show you have some skin in the game.
