President Trump responded to an impassioned plea to global leaders at the United Nations by 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg with a sarcastic late-night tweet.
“She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!” Trump said on Twitter shortly after 11:30 p.m. on Monday.
He attached a news account of Thunberg’s remarks to the gathering in New York earlier in the day that highlighted a deeply pessimistic quote: “People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth.”
Appearing on a panel at the U.N. climate summit, Thunberg chastised leaders for praising young activists like herself while failing to deliver on drastic actions needed to avert the worst effects of climate change, and she warned that if the world continued with business as usual, her generation would face an insurmountable catastrophe.
“This is all wrong,” said Thunberg who, with tears in her eyes and her face flushed, was visibly emotional as she spoke.

This kid is smarter and more presidential than the President.
come on yossel stop the stupidity do you believe in that crap
Why would anyone give a hoot what this actress set up by liberals or by the Deep State says? And whether she’s happy or just faking her tears? Who cares? Why post all Liberal radical left WaPo Fake News nonsense? Surprised at Matzav for bringing her down twice in one day.
That’s how communist left brainwashes and exploits young people!
This girl has mental issues and and needs pills
A great actor. Let her start by encouraging all present at this stupid Undeserving Narcissists (UN) assembly, to abandon their private jets as a starting point. They will sacrifice nothing of their own. They will create the equivelant emissions of my car for 100 years in this one private trip for climate change. This just proves their elitist, narcissistic goals.
I don’t see how he mocked her.
I actually agree somewhat with the climate change theory. I don’t see it being different than what scientists tell us about smoking. We know smoking is dangerous because scientists tell us it is. We get vaccinated because scientists tell us we should. Why do we negate their findings on climate change or ozone depletion? My problem is, first of all, this girl sounds like a chuspadika punk. Who does she think she is screaming “How dare you.” and “We won’t let you get away with this.” Second, once she talks about eco-systems failing she is putting animals and trees before humans. This is where I disagree with the environmentalists. The world was created for humans. (See Rashi at the end of Parshas Berashis, why did the animals die in the Mabul? If there are no people there is no need for animals.
> Why do we negate their findings on climate change or ozone depletion?
Ozone is not the topic here. And the reason I agrees with what science says about smoking and vaccines but not what the media portrays as “science” when it comes to the climate change is because I took science in University (not a community college – a real University). And that was before all this political madness took over. And I judge the evidence. And I do not rely just on myself. My synagogue alone is full of science professionals, from medical doctors of every stripe of specialty (and even from both genders) to engineers and college professors. There is a very broad consensus on matters by professionals I know personally and trust, that vaccines are legitimate, smoking kills, and there is not even one who sees any evidence about man-made causes for climate change.
Simply put, the climate alarmists do NOT talk nor reason like my professors in University. In contrast, sane climate scientists that are unmasking these fake notions present their findings like I would have seen it presented in my University.
Take one example. Why would an alleged death of Polar Bears be presented as being sooooo important and “proof” of any man-made climate change? It is pure emotional blackmail, not science. It is also lies. Science tells us that the Polar bear has been around for millions of years, surviving quite well through periods when the polar ice caps were indeed gone. So why would even the melting of the polar ice caps make difference now if it did not affect the Polar Bears then? Aside from that, all evidence points to the population of Polar Bears increasing, not decreasing.
Trump is so good. Thunberg is dry humor. Hashem loves us. What a broken show for the hate liberals. Trump just acknowedges he is the highest neat grade of the year. Hope she finds some ice tea and enjoys childhood. Kudos.
