Ahead of a major climate summit in a few weeks, activist Greta Thunberg again ramped up pressure on global leaders at an environmental rally in Italy Tuesday — saying that they have been all talk and no action.
Thunberg made the remarks during a keynote address at the Youth4Climate summit in Milan, an event that drew thousands of participants.
The 18-year-old Swedish activist, who has rarely shied away from confronting politicians, slammed leaders for making “empty promises” — and said their failures are a “betrayal toward all present and future generations.”
“Build back better. Blah, blah, blah. Green economy. Blah blah blah. Net-zero by 2050. Blah, blah, blah,” she said, according to The Guardian.
“This is all we hear from our so-called leaders. Words that sound great but so far have not led to action. Our hopes and ambitions drown in their empty promises.”
Tuesday’s rally came about five weeks before the United Nations climate summit in Scotland, known as COP26, at which world leaders are expected to cooperate to make a coordinated effort to reduce climate emissions.
Some experts have said the summit may be one of the final chances for leaders to begin enacting the change necessary to stave off some serious climate-related threats.
Thousands are attending the three-day summit in Milan this week, known as PreCOP26.
Climate and energy ministers are scheduled to meet in the Italian city later this week and vet proposals for presentation at the U.N. summit next month.
For Thunberg, Tuesday’s was her second major rally in four days. Friday, she and thousands of other young activists attended an event in Germany, which was partly aimed at influencing the country’s federal elections.

Greta blah blah blah! could have been the headline.
Absolutely! And since they claimed we only have 12 years to save the planet….dear Soros Muppet, ANTIFA Anarchist, Grifter Greta…just shut up, go home and enjoy the $$ you made conning people…at least SOME people! Because other Climate Cons have been claiming we only have 5 years to act since the 1970s!
Part of me WANTS them to be right in that 12 year time frame. THEN at least, we’d be rid of many of these wastes of oxygen!
Better to outlive them and pi$$ on their graves.
I PLAN on outliving them!
Activist Greta Thunberg: ‘Blah, blah, blah’
Fixed it for you.
Speaking of all talk and no action.
If she is REALLY all that worried about the environment how about heading to Communist China and giving her same ‘shame on you’ speech. Let’s see how that goes over.
Schmucks like her, will NEVER EVER whine about china.. THey know better than to even try.
More proof-if any more proof is needed-that children should be seen and not heard.
I really don’t even want to see her.
You’re not the only one. SHE need to just go away, and STAY away.
The Bible has A Quote in Which It Addressed This Child, When I Was A Child I Spoke As A Child, .,. “
Am sure that reGreta walked to the conference from Sweden to make that her carbon footprint was smaller than her IQ. Such a sham all of this is; how did the thousands of participants get there?
liberals with a small “l” are mental defects!
Private jets most likely.
Somebody needs to change her diaper and apply some Desitin.
To Greta, blah blah,,blah!
TO Greta. SHUT UP< for ever. (Preferably). ANd the day you start pushing up daisies, can't come soon enough!
Greta is a crisis actor a soros puppet!
this what indocrtrination looks like they turn children in radical activist toold.
When Greta gives her speeches one could bet that those thoughts and ideas aren’t her own but she’s speaking and expressing these ideas as if they were her original thoughts, they’re not her thoughts but those of her adult parents and associates.
I regreta the day Greta Thunberg was born. She’s the world’s biggest brat, and she makes Veruca Salt look like an angel. It’s amazing how many people, including world leaders, suck up to this ‘child of the corn’.
Perhaps her parents should have visited planned murderhood!
” Momento -O-mori ” ” Remember you are Mortal; You Will Die . ” Sooner or Later, Climinate Change or not !
Dear Greta,
Blah, blah, blah, blah and blah.
Love,
Joe Bin Biden
some one needs to explain to her how insignificant man is on this planet GOD made.
man can not change climate on this earth.
this planet was here long before man was introduced by the lord god.
and weather is just what it is weather and its seasonal and it changes not because of man.
climate change nazis are todays modern soviet style communist who want total control of your gas tank and
thermostat and light switch. and when they finally get it we will be slaves to them.
Hey Greta…
HOW did you GET to Scotland? I’ll bet you DIDN’T WALK or RIDE A BIKE there…
I’ll bet you FLEW on a FOSSIL FUEL guzzling JET (didn’t you)!
HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU use Fossil Fuels (and THEN lecture ANYONE on Climate Change)!
Hypocrite!
Greta uses her broom for her travels around the globe.
Because I go outside and the air pollution is so bad that I can’t breathe /sarcasm
Bend over, Greta…
Can you spell tool boys and girls? Try G r e t a
Quick! Somebody hire her while she still knows everything!
But first ask her how much storage is needed for firm power (99.97% available is the industry definition) from solar and wind, and how much it would cost.
Many people have calculated how much storage is needed. For England and Scotland, at least 400 watt-hours’ storage per average watt of demand (Euan Mearns). For Texas, also 400 (Norman Rogers). For all of North America, 400-800, depending upon location and the mix of solar and wind (Shaner et al).
I did the calculation for California: At least 2000.
Many have estimated that an all-electric American energy economy with today’s appetite would have average demand of 1,700 GWe. Using the most optimistic estimate (400 watt-hours’ storage per average watt of demand), and Tesla’s catalog for prices and reliability, the cost comes to only FOUR TIMES TOTAL USA GDP EVERY YEAR.
And, of course, 400 watt-hours’ storage will not get industrial civilization through another “year without a summer” the next time Tambora (or Krakatoa or Cotopaxi) erupts.
How dare you bring facts into their feelings.
Now off to the re-education camps with you..
Exactly how I feel about “climate change”—Blah—Blah—Blah.
This poor child should be enrolled in a decent school where she could get a decent education and some manners, if you can find such a place nowadays.
Even selling Girl Scouts cookies would be a more worthwhile cause.
And how did Miss Thunberg get there? Do tell.
Greta is simply Brainwashed on the Progressive / Democrat Unscientific and Fabricated Imminent Man-Made Global Warming Crisis. She claims to be “Scared” by the UN IPCC’s, Progressive’s & Democrat Party’s Unscientific Lies that CO2-emissions are Driving Climate Change — Which they are definitely NOT.
The Natural Historical Record goes back much further faithfully recorded in Ice Cores and Sediments that have been examined along with reliable proxies that provide scientists with a wealth of information about our long climate history. This Natural Historical Record of the Earth Climate also shows a fully-natural irregular, but cyclic pattern of successive Global Warming period followed by a Global Cooling period – Definitely No Global Warming Crisis or Imagined Climate Tipping Point.
As of March 2021, the extremely accurate NASA Satellites that monitor our Earth’s temperatures nearly fully-globally Twice-per-Day every day since 1979 that the December Global Temperature Average had dropped about 3/4 of a degree Fahrenheit to just below the Zero Line indicating Cooling (No Warming).
Part of me feels that she is FULLY into this ballony, not that she’s merely brainwashed..
This little Girl Should read the Bible Which said, ” When I Was A Child, I Spoke As A Child…
And lets not forget those reptile fossils and ferns found under the ice in the Arctic were victims of all those power plants and refineries that caused the climate to change.
How does a kid “ramp up pressure” on anyone but her gullible parents?
Enjoy your eternity in the everlasting flames you obnoxious little psychopath commie nut job con artist. We Christians will enjoy the coming millennial kingdom of Christ. No commies allowed.
I still say that kid when she was younger should have had her *** kicked probably twice a day, now that same kid is just a figure head for stupid politicians always trying to milk money out of us the tax payer of this country.
Hey…
When are the (so-called) “mainstream” media going to BLOCK her (for spreading MISINFORMATION)?!
