Climate activist Greta Thunberg was recently confronted on the streets of Davos by journalists asking her about all the private jets converging on the city for the World Economic Forum, whether she criticizes OPEC nations and Russia as much as she castigates Western nations and who advises her on climate issues. She responded to these reasonable questions either with giggles or silence, suggesting that she may not be the ideal spokesperson the climate movement needs.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Thunberg’s autism diagnosis explains her strange responses and if using her youth as a defense is sexist and patronizing.

Greta is an idealist, not an economist. She has zero Idea that the reality of providing transportation to the masses has a cost. The Planet is a sacred place, but no one is going back to horse drawn carriages. The child idealist is giving way to the stark reality of necessity. She's laughing because she can't admit this truth.
Greta is in I wanna sausage age thats why she smiles so hysterically. When girls her age laugh so hysterically, it's because they're afraid that all the sausages in their lifes will pass them by.
She shows chracteristics of autism
Or she is smiling because she is just using Ben Wa balls.
Climate change is a scam to take People's private property.
She's not an activist. She's not anything but a prop that you aren't allowed to to question because she is mentally disabled and acts like a little girl. The left uses people like this for all their causes.
She’s NOT a climate change activist! She never has been! It’s all bullshit.
It is already ridiculous to have a supposed spokesperson for a given topic on the world stage to not answer questions without even bringing her appearance or age into it, really. If someone is old enough to be speaking on these issues and to be taken even partly legitimately then they are old enough to answer questions. What kind of logic is it that someone is old enough to speak on the world stage seriously but then suddenly not old enough to know what they are saying or why they are saying it? There is no logical excuse, either you know what you are saying and can answer for it or you have no clue and are either a puppet or an idiot and should be seen as such. If she doesn't feel comfortable being talkative or in-front of a camera, then being a public figure representing a movement probably seems like a pretty poor career choice. Almost like she doesn't really have much stakes in the game…remind me, why is anyone listening to this person on important issues if we are simultaneously supposed to assume she is identifying as a shy child? No need to wonder the current state of affairs when this is your "expert".
She did answer the child actor question with a giggle . So that’s a definite yes ….
Shes an embarrassment
She learned from the best liars and questioned avoided like Hillary Clinton who also laughed at serious questions. Can anyone honestly say that this was not a coached response if you cannot answer a question.
Greta Thornburgers
She's an actress
That young woman is not well, she's been abused
Are you seriously pretending that you don't know who Rebel News is, and pretending that they're legitimate journalists asking legitimate questions?
I recall watching a video and they explained that the WEF is a highly controlled environment. One reporter asked pretty simple questions and ended up in trouble with security. It made me wonder of Gretta is just another shill, if she's able to freely walk around the conference grounds as a token "protester". Similar to the CCP using the same token Uyghur bearded old man in videos to show everything is just fine, there's no genocide.
shes thinking claus is going to make you all eat bugs! and you'll like it! you will own NOTHING! and claus will be happy! hahaha I know something I wont tell I wont tell I wont tell. what a puppet! now her message is : HOW DARE YOU! HA HA HE HE
Maybe she might be a dude
28:15 we really need to get away with casually branding right wingers as ‘far right’. Ezra Levant isn’t far right. He hasn’t got swastika tattoos and doesn’t want his country cleansed of all those who don’t look like him. As far as I know, he believes in conservative values more than more liberal, or progressive values. That doesn’t make you far right.
Described : dumb ass
20 years old, why do you bother ?
This is how leftist (not liberals) treat conservatives… this is why there is a culture war. Leftist despise and hate and loathe conservatives to such a degree they all walk around like Greta. Glad there’s still people like you around to give us hope for a bipartisan future.
TBF I think she has some sort of a mental issue like autism going on.
Dude! She is 20 years old. She is most likely high AF. All daze all night.
Another puppet like Zelensky, Biden, Soros and the rest of the reptiles

Greta reminds me of a gnome
20 is a child, the brain isn't fully developed until late 20s early 30s.
The same people who can't tell Greta is a fraud are the same people who don't know if there a man or woman completely insane
"100 privte jetz" – sounds like huuuge puzzy energy to me…….
The next-gen Kamala Harris.
You saw it here first.
Greta has no social and economic class analysis
All of these interviews seem set up
Theta Thunberg is cancelled, looks like she was on weed. Anyway, climate change is a Democrat designed crisis. Anyone with basic science can work out the warming and weather changes are connected to solar cycles. The sun warms the earth, everything humans do is a grain of sand on a beach. The extra CO2 from fossil fuels and methane from cattle and agriculture accounts for nothing……
78 percent nitrogen,
21 percent oxygen,
0.93 percent Argon,
0.04 percent carbon dioxide
0.03 makes up trace amounts of neon, helium, methane, krypton, ozone and hydrogen, as well as water vapor.
So sick of idiots dictating our think and lives.
She doesn't have autism. She has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
Kamela offers up word salad while Greta offers up a tossed salad
Her autistic side really shows in this interview. She doesn't understand the nuance of climate change or the basic science and reasoning for something she champions. She developed a special interest in it when younger and her parents rode that and used her as a mascot. Her handlers dropped the ball letting her be interviewed.
She knows the plan is to Murder the unfaithful and her babbling is from demons that control a wicked person
She owes you and your fake journalist allies, with their laughable 'gotcha' traps, nothing, Jimmy. Also, great job infantilizing autistic people for being direct, which is what we are. I would have told him to f* off.
