Conservatives Are Melting Down Faster Than Our Planet Over Greta and the Climate Teens

On Friday, students around the world and concerned citizens from all walks of life took to the streets to demand specific policies in hopes of averting climate disaster. Teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg arrived in New York City for the strike and was still in town on Monday to absolutely destroy complacent world leaders with her stirring testimony at the United Nations. And so, right on time, conservatives absolutely lost what was left of their minds.
It broke out on places like Fox News, which cast the notion of banding together to accomplish anything as fatally big government. Then the National Republican Congressional Committee blasted out a press release smearing the “climate brats” who protested their Democratic congresswoman in Iowa. How nice of them!
As these things tend to go, things only got more unhinged. Cathy Young, thought-haver and contributor to the libertarian site Reason, tweeted a provocative idea: What if this thing was actually a totally different thing? WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THEN???
