Greta Thunberg’s carbon-reducing exit via boat blown by captain’s trans-Atlantic flight – IOTW Report

Greta Thunberg’s carbon-reducing exit via boat blown by captain’s trans-Atlantic flight

WaTimes: Child activist Greta Thunberg refused to fly back to Europe from her trip to the U.S. and the United Nations, instead sailing across the Atlantic on a yacht rather than emit carbon by taking a plane.

Unfortunately for Ms. Thunberg’s carbon footprint though, the boat’s captain had to fly to the U.S. to reach the boat.

Nikki Henderson, the 26-year-old yacht captain of the 48-foot catamaran La Vagabonde, flew to the U.S. from Britain to sail Ms. Thunberg’s ship 3,500 miles from the U.S. to Portugal.

As a result, multiple British news outlets noted Sunday, the 16-year-old girl’s trip back to Europe — for a Madrid climate summit, no less — had about the same carbon emissions as it would have had if she had just flown herself.

  1. The 16-year-old girl’s trip back to Europe — for a Madrid climate summit, no less — had MORE carbon emissions than it would have had if she had just flown herself. The boat, among other things, has diesel-fueled facilities, including heated toilet seat. Such bullshit.

  2. And… while I realize that the runt does herself up to look like she’s around 10 years old, I do believe that the squirt is 17 now, with less than a year to go until we don’t have to hear people pretending she’s a child.

  3. As I recall, the same thing happened when she first came to the US. They had to fly the yacht’s crew back home once they reached the United States. So… double the hypocrisy.

  4. A pretend person on a pretend mission pretending to accomplish a pretend goal.

    SHE’S a waste of Carbon – and Hydrogen – and Oxygen.
    (she’s NOT a “child activist” she’s a PAID STOOGE – a PLANT)

    izlamo delenda est …

  5. In the spirit of Climate Change we can all travel trans- Atlantically on loaned performance sailboats that have dual diesel engines with captain’s who fly to meet us for our multi- week journeys, and feel good about ourselves.
