Thunberg is the headline signatory on a letter which says that Canada and Norway both give lip service to climate action but remain steadfast in their commitment to expand fossil fuel production and subsidizing oil companies

Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg participates in a student-led climate change march in Vancouver, on Oct. 25, 2019.Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is urging developing island nations to use the upcoming United Nations Security Council election as leverage to push Canada and Norway to step up their games on climate change.

Three other youth climate activists and 22 global climate scientists also signed the letter, including Eddy Carmack, a recently retired Fisheries and Oceans Canada scientist who was awarded the Order of Canada this year for his work on climate change. With most European nations expected to side with their continental neighbours, Canada has put its effort into wooing countries in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, including most of the more than three-dozen island nations targeted by Wednesday’s letter. Trudeau has spoken or met directly with the leaders of nearly one-third of those countries since February.

Oil companies have been particularly hard hit from a combination of plummeting demand for oil products, and a production war between Saudi Arabia and Russia than flooded the world with more oil at a time it was already using less.

Greta, you are to sly for me. Childhood is to short for you, enjoy life because it does not last long!

She may be abusing her power and fame trying to coerce countries for her cause. Power in the wrong hands can be harmful.

What's with fixation on Canada? Stay in Sweden, talk about Sweden, do and say whatever you want IN SWEDEN. Don't 'urge' another country to do anything. It's none of your business on how another country runs itself. Shut up already

Uhhgggg. Her again!

So tired of this girl spewing garbage about Canada, I feel like this is Ecoterrorism and it has to stop! A girl with no facts, studies, or surveys shouldn’t have a say to anything, Stop Disrespecting Canada! EnoughIsEnough

I wonder what her security is like. I doubt she will make 21.

If the UN needs a teenager to push an urgent climate crisis message, who will take the UN seriously?

That girl is sad.

Like she thought about this all by herself

I think she should be focusing on that catastrophic oil spill in Russia and not these two countries who have some of the most ethically and environmentally-regulated oil in the world

how come she get coverage and 2.5 million Canadians don't... seeyouincourt

We’ll do ANYTHING for that ineffectual temporary seat! It’s the only cure for the Canadian inferiority complex.

FO you silly little girl

OK ANTIFA

So the world is taking advice from a 16 year old. Explains a lot actually

Stupid little girl should have stayed in school

Enough !!!

Just unfollowed . Once a good newspaper now fish wrappers.

Media is complicit.

How about Saudi Arabia, Russia, and United States ? Throw in China and I would View this with integrity.

I like GretaThunberg but the only Canadian who cares about the damn corrupt UN is JustinTrudeau We don’t care about his precious seat one iota!

Great idea!! Trudeau doesn’t deserve the seat based on his track record of ridiculousness in Canada.

I don’t know who’s coaching this young lady but it’s time for her 15 minutes to be up!!

How about Russia, China,India, ect.... Please ?

We are on to you Greta. Your little gig is over.

Lol

I love this little powerhouse.

Go away Greta. Your the last person we want in this country.

Had she not gone back to school yet?

Stop giving this little girl anymore media coverage. She is a paid activist that has been coached and encouraged by her parents who are getting rich by all of these speaking engagements.

this is newsworthy why?

Who cares about this goofy kid.

Go to school.

The sinking island HOAX is over, we know those island like Tuvalu, are actually GROWING not sinking, revealing the hoax of climate change....truth has a way of getting out...

Lets hold non polluting countries accountable for all the worlds pollution. Ideology over rationality.

Greta=ANTIFA = terrorism= end of civilization

I am sorry, did someone ask for more expert action and opinions? Like the millions doing the rounds were not enough? Is there going to be a webinar by this young lady as well? thisneedstostop

I wonder if the 17 year old brat (Greta) has watched Planet of the Humans. Her promoters probably won't let her watch anything just incase something clues in the clueless.

Realize Jesus said that children are blessed as they represent him more than he represents God but there is also a phrase somewhere in Proverbs about sparing the rod spoils the child...

She should go back to school,don’t show off everywhere.

Enough

Why is this teenager getting any coverage!

You know covid19 is done when Greta is back in the news

Who is she? Do we care what a 16 yr old has to say?

Who fukin cares .

OMG! Leave this kid alone, let her have a normal childhood. She already suffers from FASD

Many adults too insecure to argue the subject resort to immature behaviour like name calling, insults and demeaning memes

Why are we listening to this child?

Like a fart lingering

She can go to hell!!

Canadians will decide what is right for Canada.

Why would we listen to her? She says one thing and one thing only while having no idea what runs a country.

I urge Thunberg to shut the hell up, go back to school, learn how to be respectful, learn that she isn't special....that's all for now

Mean spirited.

Prepped up next Malala Yousuf - no brainer here !

Tell her to take a lifelong vow of silence.

Lol ok

Poor child.

I urge Greta Thunberg to STFU.

Why does she keep her focus on Canada, are we that gullible

GretaThunberg is a globalist fraud.

Why is the media giving any airtime to this 16 year old, who is an expert in nothing.

Yes please.

PlanetoftheHumans TruthBombs F O GretaThunberg

I urge GretaThunberg to stay in school and stay out of Canada. We dont want you here. Keep your thoughts to yourself. Canadians are already the highest taxed as it is.

Jeez, the glib&flop ran out of Trudeau praise and switched to a teenager with mental issues for click bait

We’re not taking orders from a privileged white 16 year old chick

Since when is this girl an elected individual to push any country to do her bidding?

Stop giving her a voice.

Who?

Are we really entertaining this right now!!? We have our Own issues to deal without her interference. Deal with canada right now, now Greta!

Amazing how a little girl can scare so many people. Insecure much?

Why are we giving this demonic goblin child any attention? Her parents are Antifa supporters, their entire family wears the shirts.

My son urged me to extend his bedtime by 30 minutes, perhaps I should suggest he take it to a UN Security Council for a vote.

Is she still around?

I like her message but she needs to stop advising on how to run a Country or the economy of a Country without having any real experience.

She came up with this all by herself, did she?

Icon of socialism

Media all over the western world has purged 10s of billions worth of free publicity to create then promote 'climate Greta'. A global 'image' is not hard to manufacture when media collude to build one. - Greta is a marketing creation, nothing more.

She still around?

🤣 Future historians will think we were in the dark ages worshipping children
