Greta Thunberg’s speech to the French parliament yesterday was snubbed by right-wing politicians who ridiculed the 16-year-old environmentalist as ‘the Justin Bieber of ecology’.
Members of the Republican and National Rally parties boycotted the eco activist’s plea for lawmakers to swing behind her climate campaign and instead branded her a doomsayer.
Guillaume Larrive, of the conservative Republicans, described her as an ‘apocalyptic guru’.
And National Rally lawmaker Sébastien Chenu made a swipe at the teenager’s age by comparing her to singer Bieber, who shot to fame as a child.
But during her address to the lower chamber of the National Assembly in Paris, Thunberg scolded her critics.
She said: ‘Some people have chosen not to come here today. some people have chosen not to listen to us.
‘And that is fine, we are after all just children. You do not have to listen to us.
‘But you do have to listen to the united science, the scientists. And that is all we ask. Unite behind the science.’
On Sunday, Thunberg was awarded France’s freedom prize for her environmental activism which inspired a series school strikes that saw children walk out of class and protest on the streets.
French politicians invited her and other children into the country’s parliament yesterday to meet with MPs and discuss the so-called climate emergency.
But her appearance was not welcomed by conservatives, including Republican Julian Aubert who mocked the teenager.
He said: ‘Don’t count on me to applaud a prophetess in shorts, a Nobel Prize for Fear.

Greta said that science must be listened to. Yet it is a sure bet that she couldn’t even describe how to conduct a valid science experiment. The truant 16 year old was only there because she is a pawn of people who stand to make a lot of money off of wind power. Having her speak was an insult to the French Parliament.
