That was unprofessional and immature of them to cut her off so many times

Sad he didn't know it was a school strike

Funny how they cut her off when she starts talking about systemic, rather than individual, solutions...

‘She walked here this morning’ as of thats something absolutely unheard of 🤦‍♀️

3:28 highly paid _unprepared_ member of the panel (No she did not perform a hunger strike it was a _school_ strike and was as such in the headlines, the preparation would have been minimal to know that).

They obviously have no idea who they got to their studio. Her walk probably took longer than their research combined.

"She walked here!" Her hotel is 200 yards away.

Had to shut her up so they could get to the important part of the program, the commercial for the product that is destroying the environment.

Adults should be ashamed what they are doing to children, we are stealing their future

Let her finish speaking jeez

“Alright Greta” “Alright ANTHONY”

I also have Asperger's and I'm getting my Master's degree in Sustainability in Japan and Germany. It's often hard living with Asperger's but it's also often a superpower, like you say Greta. Go get 'em! And sometimes I'm jealous that everyone already knows you have Asperger's. Sometimes I wish people knew why I am a bit different, so I didn't feel like I have to constantly mask.

They couldn’t even allow her to finish her thought before kicking out.

American television seems to be as annoying as i pictured it to be. They dont even let her complete her sentences and ask nothing but nonsensical questions...

I have asperges myself and I have never called it a gift, I've never used it as a way to determine my actions, it's just another part of me, it's neither a gift or a curse or something I exploit for my own agenda it's just a part of me that makes me different from others.

what was the point of having her there? so many interruptions. They couldn't keep up with her.

"Only when the last tree has died, the last river been poisoned, and the last fish been caught, we will realize that we cannot eat money." Cree Indian Proverb

What's that? Mass extinction of Earth? Sorry, we gotta go to a commercial break.

Very unprofessional! The interviewers did not take this seriously enough.

She hasn’t said anything that anyone else hasn’t already said about climate change.

Unfortunately, the interviewers didn't take her very seriously. They were clueless, weren't they?

You’re absolutely correct forgive them they have to work for a higher power of corruption and they’re brainwashed good job

They seem scared of her yet patronising

I have Aspergers and I think she’s doing very well being in the public like she is and doing this particular interview too. Her Aspie special interest is probably the most important one. People can deny climate change all they want, but we are all fighting over a an ever shrinking pie of resources. Each of our slices of pie will get smaller and smaller until there’s no pie left

Can someone teach these people to not interrupt and do their research before an interview??

Let her complete her statement, what she is speaking is more important than all the gimmiks on ur show

I'm not being rude, but the first time I saw her, I genuinely thought she was 6 years old

I have Aspergers/HFA and I can't describe to you the social anxiety I experience everyday for the rest of my life, the same anxiety mostly likely shared with Greta. An extremely brave girl against extremely ignorant adults.

why did she get interrupted...that´s exactly the problem...poor news

Watch her on "The Daily Show." Trevor Noah let her talk. She's amazing!!!

'She walked here!' YES THAT'S WHAT YOUR FEET ARE FOR.

One of the other advantages she doesn't mention is that many people will refrain by answering the same way they would do if you were a grown up average teenager. Those who do nonetheless, are blamed, so the others stay silent. What a great trick.

Few individuals make me so proud of being Swedish. Usually I don't care for national pride whatsoever, but I'd lie if I didn't feel an incredible sense of inspiration and pride from her tenacity and eloquence.

"Sorry Miss hunger striker or whatever. Time's up!" unbelievable ......

She had had a tremendous impact on my life along with Paris Hilton .both are remarkable

Of course, when she's pushing to get the main point across they cut her off. I understand that she needed time to gather thoughts and build up to her points, but they could at least hear her out completely.

Wow. Incredibly telling how the reporters interviewing her are so unaware of the situation as a whole they were unware of her story individually...ask her about her 'hunger strike' instead of school strike. Chuckling at the end as they talk about her walking.... Greta's word still resound.

They could be more polite and considerate in interviewing her.

Hosts treated her unprofessionally.The way they were interrupted her ,was an insult on her

I have asbergers and I wouldn’t call it a gift. My mother has tried to make my social skills better with over 100,000 dollars of therapy. I have always had trouble with making friends and I don’t have very many because I’m not good at socializing so I don’t talk much at school.

CBS reporter should apologize and learn to shut up and listen instead of selling ads...Sad and quit wasting Greta Thunbergs time!

When she said that she wants people to panic she she meant I want news outlets to stop interrupting my message for the sake of your sponsors. CBS and all the others need to start thinking outside the box.

2:46

They are speaking to her like a little kid with a “ohhh well done you!” approach when really they should let her speak, speak to her like a grown up over a serious issue

Well - you take climate change very seriously. Having Greta Thunberg in the studio and give her 4 minutes and interrupt her. Good job.👍

Dreadful interviewing management by CBS, quite unprofessional and seemingly poorly planned. As usual, Greta was brilliant.

If we are just 11 years from the point of no return for our climate, why has the Paris accord allowed China until 2030 to get its act together?

She is 16 and a non native speaker yet her command of english is leagues ahead of the american president. Never mind her intelligence, integrity and honesty.

This Swedish teenager is leaps and bounds more intelligent, and forward thinking than these talking heads from our corporate media.

"We can't focus on these individual things we can do, we have to look at the big pictu-" "So sorry, let me cut you off before you call out corporations." "Let's also point out to everyone something individual you did!" Has ideology ever been quite so overtly expressed through politely interrupting a guest?

When you don’t care what anyone thinks of you or where you fit it because you know what you believe and stand by it and stand up for it, That IS a GREAT advantage to have. Go Greta we love you!!!

she is the queen

This interview is so uncomfortable to watch. First of all let her finish her sentences and second of all inform yourself whom you're interviewing ...it is not a hunger strike for God's sake.

"The planet earth nourished you, Developed you in every existent way and then received you in her arms when you die, that is why it's called Mother Earth."

We all want less pollution, but this little girl has not provided neither a solution nor the practical steps to get to the solution

An interesting moment at which to cut the conversation. Followed quickly by a word from their sponsor (Proctor & Gamble).

Interesting how such an experienced reporter cannot even find a slight pause but simply cuts her off and says that is it. She handled it gracefully of course.

Incredible, inspirational young lady...just let her speak and bloody listen!

This was so uncomfortable to watch.

"The planet is outside of its comfort zone." Thank you, Greta. You are right and I am listening and doing everything in my power to change all that I can personally and wherever I can outside of my own comfort zone in public spaces.

Greta, my dear, l am 84. Starting in the late1960’s attention to the environment was being talked about but next to no actual action was taken. Now that the result of this gross neglect is finally in our face, vested interests tell us that there is no hurry at all, that the state cannot be called an emergency. Some countries, some governments, some politicians and influential persons, who should know better, will go on obstructing whatever good moves are made to change the destructive way World Climate is heading. . To wake the Children of the world to protest with you, for the sake of protecting the future of you all, deserves nothing less than an Award from the United Nations, making you a Citizen of the World. You have fulfilled a destiny you were born for. This old person blesses you.

“In a zero emissions yacht”

i have a child with asbergers and the shunning and emotional abuse they go thru just to fit in is heartbreaking, they are usually very intelligent but emotionally a socially stunted, they are fixated on certain things they are exposed to in such an obseessive way in becomes damagung to their lives, shame on those exploiting this child and have been brainwashing her to push there own narratives and agenders. she has become a source to mock children with asbergers

As Greta was getting to the most important part - what needs to be done, i.e. not just personal changes, but national legislative changes - CBS cut her off. They should have planned their interview more carefully in order to get to that - the heart of the matter - at the very start. They should have Greta on this show again to finish her thoughts on this topic that is critically important to the health and well-being of us all.

I’m 31 and am on the spectrum too...and Greta is right; neurodiversity is important because what can get done with only people who think in the same way. Keep doing what you think is right. When I was 17, I walked into a university French course for the first time, a combined undergrad and grad class...and my French was nowhere near the fluency of her English! What a remarkable person.

Having aspergers myself I can guarantee there is no "gift".

They looked and seemed to feel uncomfortable with her knowledge they kept interrupting her how rude of so called grown folks

This comments section is disgraceful. No matter what you believe regarding climate change, I would hope that we all would have the decency to recognize and respect that Greta is doing what she believes is right for the environment, for countries, and for the world. She did not push a political agenda in this interview, but spoke out for what she believes is right. The news reporters showed her great kindness and respect and I hope we can do the same.

America: Climate change is scientific fact. It is not something you can believe or disbelieve in. If you want to see a much better interview, go to Trevor Noah.

The utter stupidity if this is mind boggling

Amazing young woman!

It was really funny whem the guy sead "I'm sorry Greta for interropted you.." as if they didn't have done that during all the interview.

Just being a human, being human. Save the planet! To many species going extinct on our watch, Be Human, ensure the survival of our species. CARE! Peace

You guys are making her nervous

My question is where will you stand for the world?

looks like these adults got the wrong job...cause obviously they are unprofessional, interrupting the person they are interviewing and forgot to make research. And are they so afraid of her that they need to be three?

He cut her off just as she was so beautifully and eloquently expressing how her neurodiversity empowers her. That she speaks her mind without being concerned about what other's think. What an amazing message and lesson for the world on so many levels. This young woman is inspiring beyond words.

We must change now or face certain extinction. Who will face justice for this crime. There is no punishment that can be thought of to fit the crime of not addressing this .

I admire her goal, and her courage. But, this interview carried no substance. It was a waste of time.

They cut her off right before she had the chance to talk about the corruption of politicians and the fossil fuel industry American television makes me sick

She is so cool. She's smart, sweet and very well spoken. I wish the segment wasn't bothered by ads and sponsors so that they could've allowed her to finish her points

The gift of being unable to connect with people on an emotional level.

I have a physical disability, and this literally requires me to 'think outside of the box' in order to be able to take care of myself. This kind of "outside of the box" training has given me the habit of thinking outside of the box about everything. The only thing holding us back from reversing man-made climate change is expenses. Every politician and big business figure who speaks about solving the climate problem talks about the expenses that are involved. They are hitting the nail right on the head, yet none of them seem to recognize it. The only way to reverse man-made climate change is to first change the meaning of 'economic expenses', and the only way to do that is by changing the definition of 'profit'. Here's a definition that not only changes the meaning of economic expenses, but also makes protecting and enriching the environment our main objective. 'profit = protecting and enriching the environment, and sharing the sustenance that it provides to all of us'. Now it is a major expense to ignore our responsibility to protect and enrich the environment. This new profit model will create millions of new jobs that will come under the heading of "Caretakers of the Environment". Caretakers will receive higher return for the work that they do than most other workers. All of our actual gains come to us from the environment. Not only does "profit = income - expenses" not include the word environment, but this old profit model defines the entire environment, and that also includes all of us, as expenses. Businesses must avoid and or eliminate as many expenses as possible. No wonder the planet is on fire. No wonder there is so much homelessness. p.s. Sorry it's a long note but reversing man-made climate change is a very complex problem and this note barely scratches the surface of the solution.

Thank you Greta Thunberg for your fight against climate crisis! And for ignoring the climate deniers, who only cares about money and power. The rest of us with a brain and a heart, know you are telling the truth. And we listen to the scientists. You're an amazing person.

She is incredibly well spoken for being 16 years old, better than most adults I know.

Car guys: hehe rev time Dont worry I'm a car guy

She is sweet

So intense how she gets cut off mid sentence at the end "alright Greta" and straightening up his papers...

She walked here this morning!!...as if she has no legs. Has walking with your own feet become that odd in USA? It sound sooo weard when they say that..

Lol she have the ultimate power to ignore the haters

THE FULL PICTURE 🌎 Everything we do matters EVERYTHING. Such an inspiration, change is coming!! 🌸

You go girl!!!

Really? Cut her off? If you do not care don't invite her... now we truly know who you really are...

CBS used her! Why invite her , knowing you won’t have enough time to have her speak!

Hello to my teacher if she see's this

Someone as wonderful and inspiring as Greta deserves better interviewers than these soulless prompter readers.

Be more humane with this girl that is trying adults to understand what she fights for and have compassion for

You know you are "There" when just your first name strikes Terror in the "hearts" world leaders ! " U.N. Official: " Greta is coming and she just arrived after a VERY LONG boat ride! " Of all the modern people recognized by one name, this little girl has the biggest Message.

she’s more mature and reasonable then half of these grown ups...

This young woman is SUCH a role model for all of us. I'm so proud of her. The ignorance of commenters who continue to deny SCIENCE? They may as well be (& probably, many of them are) flat-Earthers. It's distressing to see how sheer ignorance may just take down all of humankind, but b/c of heroes like Greta, I think we've got a chance. We've got to regain control of the White House, so REGISTER people to vote!!! #BlueWave2020 P.S. The interviewers cut her off, & one of them had no idea she'd begun a school strike, NOT a hunger strike. Good Lord, CBS, get your act together.
