The congresswoman, who has three children, asked the 18-year-old to advise her on how to deal with her 9-year-old daughter who bewailed, \u201cThe Earth is on fire and we\u2019re all going to die soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), the mother of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elle.com\/culture\/a33406349\/katie-porter-interview\/\">three children<\/a>, two teenage sons and a nine-year-old daughter, asked Thunberg: \u201cI just want to ask you one question: I have a nine-year-old daughter, I have three kids, and I told my nine-year-old daughter that I was going to be speaking with you and I said, \u2018What do you think about the climate change?\u2019 And she said, \u2018The Earth is on fire and we\u2019re all going to die soon.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I asked her how that made her feel and she said that it made her feel angry,\u201d Porter continued. \u201cWhat should I tell my daughter and how should I help her and the youngest generation bear the emotional toll of the actions that we\u2019re taking, fossil fuel companies are taking to destroy our planet?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, thank you for your question,\u201d Thunberg replied. \u201cThat\u2019s a big question. I know that there are many young people who feel angry and sad because of all the things that some people are doing to this planet and our futures and to the most affected people \u2026 today. And that\u2019s very understandable. It would be strange if we didn\u2019t feel that way because we wouldn\u2019t have any empathy. But, of course, there is still much hope, and if we choose to take action, then we can do this. There\u2019s unlimited things that we can do, and if we choose to act together, there are no limits to what we can accomplish. \u2026 The best medication against anger and anxiety is to take action yourself. So that\u2019s what I would tell her, to take action herself because that will make her feel so much better.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.5694915254237\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepKatiePorter?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepKatiePorter<\/a>\u2019s 9-year-old daughter said, \u201cThe Earth is on fire and we\u2019re all going to die soon.\u201d The congresswoman asked <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GretaThunberg?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GretaThunberg<\/a> about the emotional toll of climate change on youth <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GTtIE58NSb\">https:\/\/t.co\/GTtIE58NSb<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fYrE6y39cb\">pic.twitter.com\/fYrE6y39cb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Peter Wade (@brooklynmutt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brooklynmutt\/status\/1385301626429362176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Speaking before Congress, Thunberg went on\u00a0her usual tirade, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-news\/greta-thunberg-warns-congress-act-on-climate-1159931\/\">pronouncing<\/a> that subsidies for fossil fuel industries were \u201cclear proof that we have not understood the climate emergency at all. \u2026 The fact that we are still having this discussion and even more that we are still subsidizing fossil fuels directly or indirectly using taxpayer money is a disgrace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thunberg pontificated, \u201cTo be honest, I don\u2019t believe for a second that you will actually do this. The climate crisis doesn\u2019t exist in the public debate today\u2026 You will still get away with continuing to contribute to the destruction of present and future living conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow long do you honestly believe that people in power like you will get away with it?\u201d she said. \u201cHow long do you think you can continue to ignore the climate crisis, the global aspect of equity and historic emissions without being held accountable? \u2026You get away with it now, but sooner or later people are going to realize what you have been doing this time. That\u2019s inevitable. You still have time to do the right thing and to save your legacies, but that window of time is not going to last for long. We, the young people, are the ones who are going to write about you in the history books, we are the ones who get to decide how you will be remembered. So my advice for you is to choose wisely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
