That better be a sail boat she’s on and not one with a fossil fuel engine.
Yes, but no...
She's a fraud:
You might be surprised to learn that Greta didn’t come to the US by air. No, Greta came by boat. And not just any boat—we’re talking about a
zero-emissions sailboat called the
Malizia II, which took her weeks. Malizia II has solar panels and underwater turbines that generate electricity onboard. Experts say that the Malizia II offers the lowest-carbon way to cross the Atlantic. Fantastic!
That’s the picture that Greta supporters would like you to focus on. But there’s another side to this eco-friendly journey:
Two crewmembers had to
fly across the Atlantic to New York to bring the boat back, and two of the crewmembers that made the original voyage had to
fly across the Atlantic from the US to return home. That’s four flights to keep Greta from making two. We won’t even mention the train trip Greta took to get to Plymouth, England, in order to set sail, nor will we mention the numerous freeze-dried meals, which we assume are encased in some single-use plastic product, which by our estimations, the two-man crew, Greta, her father, and some cameraman documenting the experience equated to over 200 meals. We also won’t talk about how Greta will return home, since the boat has since returned to Europe.
In a nutshell, the 5,337-kilometer flight times four people generated 2,134,800 grams of C02 by our calculations, just for the flights alone.
“We added the trip to New York City at very short notice, and as a result two people will need to fly over to the US in order to bring the boat back,” a Team Malizia spokeswoman told the Times, adding that “The world has not yet found a way to make it possible to cross an ocean without a carbon footprint.”
Greta Thunberg has captured the attention of the world with her climate change rhetoric, but is she practicing what she’s preaching?
