Here is Donald Trump on Greta Thunberg: GRETA THUNBERG? GIVE ME A BREAK. Here’s the deal — this whole “How dare you!” routine? It’s straight out of the Marxist playbook, folks. I’ve seen it before — all anger, no answers. She's not offering solutions — she’s just yelling at everybody like a spoiled kid who didn’t get her dessert. You don’t fix the world by whining. You fix it with leadership, with business, with results — something I know a lot about. She's up there talking about "stolen dreams," blaming capitalism, blaming growth, blaming success. That’s the real story here — it’s not about climate, it’s about CONTROL. She doesn’t want to save the planet — she wants to tear down the system. Classic Marxist stuff. Blame the rich. Blame the productive. Shame everyone. No growth, no progress, just guilt, misery, and government telling you what car to drive and what thermostat setting you're allowed to have. Let’s be honest — if she had her way, we’d be living in caves, eating bugs, and reading Karl Marx by candlelight. Meanwhile, China’s building coal plants like there’s no tomorrow. And she says WE are the problem? Give me a break. This is why people are tuning them out. Because regular folks — smart folks — know that you don’t save the world by tanking the economy and screaming at people who built it. We built the greatest economy the world has ever seen. We lifted millions out of poverty. That’s not a problem — that’s the solution. Clean air, clean water, great jobs — that’s what we should be doing. So no, Greta, we’re not evil. We’re not going to let a teenage eco-Marxist with a doomsday script and a bad attitude tell us how to live. We want clean energy — but we’re going to do it the smart way. The American way. With innovation, strength, and yes, winning. Thank you. You're welcome. Next question. Transcript: Greta Thunberg's Speech At The U.N. Climate Action Summit September 23, 2019 - 1:58 PM ET By NPR Staff Climate activist Greta Thunberg, 16, addressed the U.N.'s Climate Action Summit in New York City on Monday. Here's the full transcript of Thunberg's speech, beginning with her response to a question about the message she has for world leaders. "My message is that we'll be watching you. "This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you! "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I'm one of the lucky ones. 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. How dare you! "For more than 30 years, the science has been crystal clear. How dare you continue to look away and come here saying that you're doing enough, when the politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight. "You say you hear us and that you understand the urgency. But no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that. Because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil. And that I refuse to believe. "The popular idea of cutting our emissions in half in 10 years only gives us a 50% chance of staying below 1.5 degrees [Celsius], and the risk of setting off irreversible chain reactions beyond human control. "Fifty percent may be acceptable to you. But those numbers do not include tipping points, most feedback loops, additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution or the aspects of equity and climate justice. They also rely on my generation sucking hundreds of billions of tons of your CO2 out of the air with technologies that barely exist. "So a 50% risk is simply not acceptable to us — we who have to live with the consequences. "To have a 67% chance of staying below a 1.5 degrees global temperature rise – the best odds given by the [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] – the world had 420 gigatons of CO2 left to emit back on Jan. 1st, 2018. Today that figure is already down to less than 350 gigatons. "How dare you pretend that this can be solved with just 'business as usual' and some technical solutions? With today's emissions levels, that remaining CO2 budget will be entirely gone within less than 8 1/2 years. "There will not be any solutions or plans presented in line with these figures here today, because these numbers are too uncomfortable. And you are still not mature enough to tell it like it is. "You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, I say: We will never forgive you. "We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not. "Thank you."
