Greta Thunberg Says She Is Going ‘Net-Zero on Swear Words’ Following Backlash

MADRID, SPAIN - DECEMBER 10: Swedish environment activist Greta Thunberg gestures during a conference with scientists at the COP25 Climate Conference on December 10, 2019 in Madrid, Spain. The COP25 conference brings together world leaders, climate activists, NGOs, indigenous people and others for two weeks in an effort to focus global policy makers on concrete steps for heading off a further rise in global temperatures.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg is responding to critics who took issue with language she used during a demonstration.

“I am pleased to announce that I’ve decided to go net-zero on swear words and bad language. In the event that I should say something inappropriate I pledge to compensate that by saying something nice,” Thunberg tweeted Wednesday.

I am pleased to announce that I’ve decided to go net-zero on swear words and bad language. In the event that I should say something inappropriate I pledge to compensate that by saying something nice. #COP26

CNN reported Thunberg was filmed singing on the first day of the COP26 summit in Glasgow, Scotland, “You can shove your climate crisis up your a**e” to the tune of the song ‘She’ll be coming ’round the mountain.'”

The climate activist also joined other “Fridays for Future” activists at a demonstration at Festival Park in Glasgow where she took aim at politicians for failing to address climate change.

“Change is not going to come from inside there. That is not leadership, this is leadership,” Thunberg said.

She added, “This is what leadership looks like. We say no more blah blah blah, no more exploitation of people and nature and the planet… No more whatever the f**k they’re doing inside there.”

Last month, Thunberg took a different approach to activism, as IJR previously reported.

While in Stockholm for a youth climate summit, Thunberg brought back a popular internet meme from 2007 called “Rickrolling.”

She jumped on stage, telling the audience, “We’re no stranger to love.” Thunberg then danced and sang to Rick Astley’s 1987 hit “Never Gonna Give You Up.”

The Washington Post explained the “Rickrolling” as “one of the Internet’s most enduring pranks. The conceit is simple enough: Someone sends a link that appears to be a video, news clip or, really, anything, but the recipient is instead treated to the music video for” Astley’s song.
