    Greta the climate change extremist is on her way to New York

    She's going to NY on a 'carbon neutral' boat and will poop in a bucket as the journey will take 2 weeks:

    Well, at least she walks the walk. She's clearly quite literally autistic, and has fixated on climate change, as autistic kids are wont to do. It's all rather creepy, more so the adults around her. I don't blame her and I kinda cringe when people speak against her personally.

    It would be funny if Trump denied her visa.

    Most citizens from most European countries don't need visa to visit the UN. The same way you don't need a visa to backpack Europe as an American passport holder. Trump would easily back her proposal if he gets a "good" deal for the US.

    She will be on a tourist 90 day visa... The President can still bar her if he wants.

    Not unless its under some very extreme circumstances, she can get a free pass if its under 90 days without ever going to the embassy or asking for US permission to travel. That is what it means to have a visa waiver program with the US.

    I still maintain the President can bar anyone, doesn't matter if its on a visa waiver. It's at his discretion. Like the Muslim country ban.

    People from muslim countries have to get authorization to visit even for 1 day, she coming from Sweden doesn't. So unless Trump is willing to cancel the whole program for everyone, then he probably cannot do anything about it. I think Trump is a looney bin but cancelling the US visa waiver program with western Europe is something a big step too far even for him.

    Maybe he can put her on a terrorist watch list. That will bar her from entry.

    First of all, it may not even work because Sweden would appeal the ban and secondly, if it was to go through, that would jeopardize the whole visa waiver program with the rest of Europe. Why go through all of that to make this little confused girl into a martyr?

    That 'carbon neutral' yact costs around a half or so million dollars not something that a normal person could afford.

    And if she gets into trouble and sets off her EPIRB, how much CO2 will be released by the rescue ships, helicopters, and all the rest, dispatched to save her ass.

    Good for her. Sailing is cool sh!t.

    She should probably look into algal based biodiesel - carbon negative. Perhaps in her lifetime she could offset 1 of Al Gore's flights.

    This is hilarious!
    Greta Thunberg: Caroline Lucas reports Arron Banks to Twitter

    Green Party MP Caroline Lucas has complained to Twitter over a tweet by Brexit campaigner Arron Banks aimed at climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

    On Wednesday, Mr Banks referred to Ms Thunberg's sea voyage across the Atlantic and tweeted: "Freak yachting accidents do happen in August..."

    Ms Thunberg, who chooses not to fly, is sailing from the UK to attend UN climate summits in New York and Chile.

    Ms Lucas said she reported his comment, while Mr Banks said it was a joke.

    "Arron Banks' vile tweet about @GretaThunberg makes me sick to the stomach," Ms Lucas wrote on Twitter on Thursday morning.

    "I have made a formal complaint to Twitter."

    Ms Thunberg set sail from Plymouth on Wednesday at the start of her two-week journey to New York and Chile.

    The 16-year-old refuses to travel by air because of its environmental impact, so has chosen a carbon-neutral racing yacht.

    Shortly after she departed, Mr Banks, an insurance tycoon who founded Leave.EU, shared a tweet from Ms Lucas that wished Ms Thunberg "bon voyage".

    His tweet faced widespread criticism, with Mr Banks later responding, saying it was "a joke" and accusing his critics of having "no sense of humour".

    Mr Banks later added: "Obviously I don't hope she encounters a freak yachting accident!

    "I just enjoy watching the ludicrous tweeter mob following the next outrage."

    Among those who condemned his post was actress Amanda Abbington, who tweeted: "You're wishing a potentially fatal accident onto a sixteen year old girl, why..?"

    Others called his tweet "disgraceful" while Labour MP Paula Sherriff said he was "utterly vile".

    The novelist Philip Pullman said: "That's how you'll be remembered, Banks. That's the measure of you."

    According to Twitter, anybody can report an individual tweet or profile for certain violations, including: spam, abusive or harmful content, inappropriate ads, self-harm and impersonation.

    Fans gathered to wave Ms Thunberg off on her voyage across the Atlantic.

    Before leaving, she said of climate sceptics: "There's always going to be people who don't understand or accept the united science, and I will just ignore them, as I'm only acting and communicating on the science."

    She added she thought people's mindsets were changing "even if it's not enough, and not fast enough, that's something, it's not for nothing".

    Because, you know, that's how science works - not just by refusing to indulge in skepticism, but by willfully ignoring it ...

    On board with her are two highly experienced skippers, Boris Herrmann and Pierre Casiraghi (the grandson of Monaco's late Prince Ranier III and actress Grace Kelly), her father Svante and cameraman Nathan Grossman.
    She's just propaganda supercargo.
