European Union is ‘being embarrassed by Greta Thunberg's silly games' - Sky News Australia, March 5, 2020.
Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg continues to play “a silly game of teenage virtue-signalling†which has "contributed nothing sensible to the global warming debate,†says Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“My argument has always been that it is ridiculous for adults who claim that they are taking climate change seriously, to make a hero of a teenager making hysterical claims,†he said.
Ms Thunberg recently attended a meeting with the European Commission as it moves to adopt a continent-wide Climate Law.
The law would commit the EU to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.
However, the environmental activist denounced the targets and accused the European union of simply “pretending†to tackle climate change.
“Thunberg reckons the EU is ducking the challenge, not doing enough over the next decade,†Mr Kenny said.
“I suppose she has to say that because she reckons we're all doomed in a decadeâ€.

Now, I've mentioned teenage climate campaign at Greta Thunberg a few times. Not to be critical of her so much, she can campaign all she likes and say as many silly things as she likes. My argument's always been about how ridiculous it is for adults who claim that they're taking climate change seriously to make a teenager and take a teenager making hysterical claims they're spokesperson, they're idle. They've faded her, they've had a speak at the United Nations, world leaders of matter, it's embarrassing, it's a silly game of teenage virtue signaling and it's contributed nothing sensible to the global warming debate. But now some of those leaders are getting to see what sort of a monster they've created. Now they might start to realise that you can never satisfy zealots. The European Union is legislating for a net zero by 2050 climate target, which you'd think might please the climate of angiolus. But when Thunberg had her chance to congratulate the EU in front of the cameras, she refused to shake the hand of the EU president. Thunberg reckons the EU is ducking the challenge, be trying the planet by not doing enough over the next decade. I suppose she has to say that because she reckons were all doomed within a decade. You see what these people have created? See how they embarrass themselves? They'll never learn.
