Journalists simply can’t get enough of Greta Thunberg, the radical 16-year-old Swedish climate activist who wants people to stop flying in order to save the planet. MSNBC hosts on Wednesday bashed their own kids as not living up to the great climate hero. Speaking of Thunberg’s testimony before Congress, Stephanie Rule compared, “Tonight, when no one in my house wants to do homework, wants take a shower, even clear the dishes from the dinner table. I am going to play that on a loop for them.”

Teasing the segment, Andrea Mitchell enthused, “Coming up, a voice for change. How one 16-year-old girl is pushing Congress to fight the climate crisis.” Later, she cheered, “Coming up, Greta goes to Washington. The 16-year-old environmental activist tells Congress they are not doing enough to fight climate change.”

Of course, Mitchell never mentioned this inconvenient truth (as noted in the Daily Mail) about her transatlantic trip across the ocean in a carbon neutral yacht.

Greta Thunberg's trans-Atlantic voyage on a 'zero-carbon yacht' has been rocked by revelations that crew will fly to New York in a gas-guzzling plane to bring the boat back to Europe. It is claimed that this would generate more emissions than the yacht saves and threatens to leave the 16-year-old's plans to chart an environmentally friendly route to the United States in tatters.

Mitchell ignored the extreme nature of her views. Thunberg thinks that eating meat is “stealing her generation’s future” and will lead to a climate apocalypse. Additionally, the teenager has touted “flygskam” or flight shaming for anyone who dares use an airplane regularly. (But not flights needed because of her own activities, apparently.)

1 PM hour co-host Velshi trashed his own kids in comparison to Thunberg: “Both Stephanie and I as we’re watching that are going to take that clip and show it to our kids today to see if they’ve amounted to anything because that’s kind of impressive.”

Ruhle mocked her own children: “Tonight, when no one in my house wants to do homework, wants take a shower, even clear the dishes from the dinner table. I am going to play that on a loop for them.”
