Do you have evidence showing it wasn't...?

 It's incumbent upon the person making the allegation of malfeasance to prove that funds have been misused. It's obviously ridiculous to ask someone to prove a negative. And given that Thunberg is Target A for the climate change denialist movement, if she had misappropriated those funds, somebody most likely would have cottoned on to it by now.

I'm not saying it. The official report from the Greta Thunberg Foundation said it. In a legally required annual report.

Police told the BBC Ms Thunberg was not arrested and would be released after they checked her ID.

How sad! They should have locked her up and thrown away the key

It's hilarious that we have no choice because governments subsidize fossil fuels.

Dunno what country you're in but in Australia the Government subsidizes renewables!

What about you?  Anyway, having seen your various comments over the years, I don't find the claim to be very credible.

What you find credible or not is of no importance to me. Carry on.

Wasn't it seven Sailors who had to fly from France to USA to be able to bring the boat back ?

I heard it was 2. Doesn't make any difference though, as the carbon footprint of her stunt sailing trip was larger than if she just flew.

And yet you think the inverse is the case?  I don't know why you felt it necessary to respond.  You asked me a question, which is why I replied to you and pointed out that your claims are not fooling your audience (me).  If you don't care about that it's on you.  And I will carry on.  I don't need your permission.

If you like to call it that, building a life on protesting and making problems everywhere. Then, yes!

Talking about it is great. But, Thailand excels at talking about corruption yet nobody, right from the boss man down does anything.????????

Thais talking about corruption:  "But he got more than me!  This isn't fair!"

I don't remember if I "bashed" you personally for anything, but I can't say much about Obama or Trump on this thread without getting deleted for off topic.

I call it that because that is what it was.

Greta Thunberg on Abu Dhabi’s oil chief leading COP28 climate summit: ‘Completely ridiculous’

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Thursday became the latest vocal critic of the United Arab Emirates’ decision to name the head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) as president of this year’s COP28 climate summit.

Asked her view on the appointment during a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, she said, “Lobbyists have been influencing these conferences since forever, and this just puts a very clear face to it... it’s completely ridiculous.”

The presidency has sparked a torrent of criticism from climate activists and civil society organizations since its mid-January announcement, the UAE, one of the world’s top oil producers, will host the U.N.-led climate summit from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12, 2023.

Yes, the only difference is that you are talking about a grown up intelligent and educated man. I am talking about a youngster that would do anything just for another 15 minutes of fame.
