This makes the Trump haters very happy
I wouldn’t have wasted my time on Trump, says Greta Thunberg
Teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg said on Monday that talking to U.S. President Donald Trump at a United Nations summit on global warming would have been a waste of time since he would not have paid any attention.
In an interview with BBC radio’s Today program, for which she was the guest editor on Monday, Thunberg also said she regarded personal attacks on her as funny and that she hoped to go back to having a normal life.
A video of the 16-year-old Swedish campaigner giving Trump what media described as a “death stare†at a U.N. climate summit in New York in September went viral on social media. Trump has questioned climate science and is pulling the United States out of the 2015 Paris Agrement on global warming.
Asked what she would have said to the president if they had spoken, Thunberg said: “Honestly, I don’t think I would have said anything because obviously he’s not listening to scientists and experts, so why would he listen to me?
“So I probably wouldn’t have said anything, I wouldn’t have wasted my time,†she said.
So, let’s say you have a chance to talk to Bernie, Elizabeth, Mayor Pete, Sheriff Joe, etc. Or Putin, Maduro, other hardcore world leaders in something. Do you say “nah, they won’t listen”? Or, perhaps talk with them and attempt to get them to change their minds? Because that’s what adults do. They talk. There may be no meeting of the minds, no one’s minds may be changed in the least, but, is it worth the effort? Of course. St. Greta could have attempted to sway Trump, even if it was in a minor way. Perhaps she could have gotten Trump to back more research into alternative energy sources. Something. But, she’s a spoiled brat who has been brainwashed into the Cult.
