Well, she sells fear.

Here, Greta Thunberg started in Sweden every Friday outside the Swedish parliament, and it spread to skip school in order to have a future. In other words, she's actually said, and she's addressed the EU, the United States Congress testified that why should kids go to school if they have a future that will be no more unless government passes laws like the Green New Deal, more UN treaties.
Well, first of all, I would tell them the government can't legislate the climate.
Why would you skip school? That's an easy thing for any kid to do.
We're doing better in the United States than these European signers who are going to be at the UN summit in New York shaming President Trump. We're doing better. We're leading the world in CO2 emission reduction.
Someone proposes a UN climate treaty or the solution to global warming. It's almost always central planning, massive government regulation. Europeans aren't opposed to that. So they don't even bother to challenge the science or look at the reason why it's being forced on them. In the United States, we say, wait a minute, what?
It's through technology and innovation and chiefly through fracking.
Miami is actually sinking. It's called subsidence. But there's no acceleration in the global sea level, so you cannot link that to man.
Not only would it... It's commit nations to lose sovereignty and start being essentially having to bow to a UN international organization. But it would have, even if you trusted the UN science and Al Gore believed everything they said, it would have no impact on temperatures 100 years from now.

This is no more than medieval witchcraft. People believe that the United Nations and the United States EPA can regulate the temperature and control storminess. They used to believe that in the Middle Ages. Those witches can control weather. Those witches are causing crop failure. Now they're blaming our SUVs and our cars.
Nothing unusual is happening, whether it's hurricanes, floods, tornadoes. Extreme weather is actually a stable or declining trend on climate timescales.
In recent times they said we have to get rid, UN scientists said we have to get rid of the medieval warm period because we didn't have coal plants and SUVs and it was inconvenient to explain how something could be as warm or warmer than today. So they went back in the data and they erased the medieval warm period. They erased the 1930s in the United States as the hottest decade. They went back and cooled the past.
Well, it's actually, I point out, a core of activist UN scientists, people like Michael Oppenheimer, who took money from Barbra Streisand, quarter million dollars.
