- Swedish activist Greta Thunberg says "we no longer have time to leave out the science," as she gave a speech at the U.N. global climate conference in Madrid - accusing world leader of “clever accounting and creative PR” to avoid action on the climate crisis. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Thunberg told the crowd that the world's rapidly declining carbon budgets would be gone within eight years based on current emission levels.
"How do you respond to the fact that basically nothing is being done about this without feeling the slightest bit of anger? And how do you communicate this without sounding alarmist? I would really like to know,” she said.

Why do people focus on the Elite on what "us" small people can do....do you do anything to make Earth better?
@@carolinedewinters25 yes, and no one said these people are "elite". They think their elite because they are in front of a microphone. You think they are because they are on camera and believe that makes them special. I just hear blah, blah, blah. All talk no substance.
The elite get a pass for everything while we are expected to pay the bill. More taxes on certain food for example is not going to hit the rich but it is goong to hit the poor people living in food deserts

You’re right , a large group yelling at buildings is the way to go 😎
@@azkid883 I know right?
Blue Skin Alien her ship is literally wind powered “not environmentally friendly” ok
Yea. It is. I saw another video with her and it was the speech where she kept saying “how dare you.” I honestly thought that “how dare you” was helping her with getting to the whole point of the speech. Most of the comments said things about how she said “how dare you” and most of them were joking around. This is no joke, and I don’t understand how they (the people that commented about “how dare you”) can just make it like that. I feel that it is disrespectful to just make this all a joke. Greta Thunberg is just trying to help. She doesn’t give speeches to be funny. She gives speeches to help.
Mr beast should be top person of the year he raised 18 Mill for trees
For real though!
Yes...
Stfu Greta hasn’t done anything mr beast raised 20 million and ur still tryna say that great did it. Please get over her she just reads scripts her parents wrote and criticizes world leaders
Yali T No She isnt mr beast didn’t need to do that with his money but he chose to what has greta done more than give speeches to ignorant people than mr beast who took action and donated from his own
steezy Wills there are many who invent technology to improve the climate and find new ways to make the world sustainable, but in the end this is a global problem concerning everyone in the entire world yet according to polls in 2016 only about 54% of Americans saw climate change as a serious issue. Greta has illuminated the problem on a global international degree. She has in just two years gone from sitting alone with a sign during school hours to inspiring millions to protest in the streets and speaking to and influencing some of the most powerful people in the world. She’s not a politician, not a scientist or a millionaire social media influencer or even an inventor. She is a passionate 16yr old girl from Sweden who is aware of the largest crisis of our time and is doing everything she can to help the world and yet she is faced with criticism for no reason at all from presidents who should know better. Fundamentally there shouldn’t be anyone who disagrees with her. Ffs she is fighting and protesting for the life of the earth. She deserves nothing less than recognition. But of course that doesn’t mean others don’t deserve it too.

Exactly...
CJ Boyle I don’t see why you think that is relevant here
@CJ Boyle
I think the real reason it won't happen is because there's no way Xi would dream of allowing a 12 year old to tell him that he should put his countries economic progress aside to save the environment/planet. The truth is that greed is a far greater motivator than the threat of "possible" death/extinction. The balance is and will be tipped in favour of greed for the foreseeable future.
I put the challenge to Gretta to confront him.

Yeah, we will

Adults will help her out with her speeches and how to act, etc.
@Vanessa G She is a puppet
I dont see how a child saying "you should all panic" is going to help anything. Never spread panic if you want something done. Solutions are not made by people panicing.
She explained that it meant we should get out of our comfort zones. And this "child" is helping the planet, what are you doing, adult.
We should all be panicking but people are still business as usual. My neighbour across the street has 4 cars for the two of them, a gas lawn mower, a gas leaf blower, a gas snow blower and they are business as usual but they have no kids to worry about when they pass away as I don't either; I knew about climate issues in the early 90's and my husband and I chose not to have kids, toughest decision we made but we are so glad that we did make that choice. The media sadly does not report enough coverage to inform the public. No solutions are being talked about, all the leaders of the world just smile pretty for the photographs.
@@carolinedewinters25 Live off the land and eat garden grubs.
Caroline Kadlec if you watch UN meeting videos or videos from your specific government meeting(maybe) then you’ll see that it’s actually discussed. The problem with Greta Thunberg is that she doesn’t have any realistic solutions.
@@jenniferjuneau7329 ok, so she is pointing something out that most people know about and have known about for years, and what is pointing out a problem if you don't show a possible solution? Why isn't she using her publicity to cover scientists that need funding for projects that can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, plastic from the ocean etc? I personally think Bill gates has done way more for climate change and no one talks about him... Sad world we live in where talking is rewarded more than actual achievement
Always, criticizing is easy.
Reality, They don't know how hard to decide a policy.
That is the core of the problem. Deciding a policy in peace is very hard, we are not at peace- we are fighting for survival. Thus the rules need to be changed to make fast change possible. Rich countries will have to lose a lot of money so they don't lose it all...
Much agreed. She had good intentions but no idea how to solve this issue. I plan on becoming a genetic engineer in the future however and hope that modified bacterium can solve this issue

When power wants the opinion of a scientist, it will give it to him.
Or, from a different angle, when power doesn't like the results scientists are coming up with they will flood the media with contradictory junk science, or intimidate scientists by threatening to withhold funding, or (in the case of the IPCC) arrange the publishing process so politicians have the final say on what gets disseminated.

I actually admire her. She’s doing a lot more than many of the people commenting bad things about her on RUclips. Since the very beginning of her solitary movement back in Europe, the girl has just been trying to raise awareness of climate change in the political world, something which wasn’t done well before. The climate crisis is complex but it does have simple solutions, it’s just that they cost money and no one really wants to take an economic blow from it. Sadly, human nature during this pandemic tells us that we most likely won’t do anything about climate change until we see New York City underwater and the Midwest becomes a desert.
Children should be seen and not heard.
I completely agree. Seeing these comments are awful when she doing an amazing job.
Yes
@@lawesyb951 Greta alt account?
First, a brief disclaimer. I fully support transition away from currently oil-dominated economy. But I firmly believe such a transition should be gradual, and should not cause a significant hit to our economy, technology, and living standards.
Greta, just as her fellow teens across Europe and USA, enjoys unprecedented standards of living thanks to modern technological advancements, which, in turn, are based on uninterrupted supply of energy. She enjoys living in a comfortable home built with modern construction materials and heated with modern technology - which all require uninterrupted flow of energy. She enjoys a well-balanced vegan diet, which requires uninterrupted transportation of food across the globe by specially designed oil-burning freight ships with refrigerators onboard (you know, you can't bring bananas to Sweden by sail). She enjoys medical treatments that are produced by evil, evil pharmaceutical corporations whose factories - surpriiise-run on electricity. She enjoys traveling around the world by train or by sail yacht - which, again, are produced at factories and plants using energy and materials developed from fossil fuels. Does she even know that sails on the yacht that brought her to New York are made of Kevlar - a synthetic material produced out of oil using heat- and energy-demanding chemical processes?
Yet Greta defies science and education that brought her these benefits. She demands policies-like complete ban on oil extraction - that she is directly benefiting from. If, by some miracle, she suddenly would get what she wants, she would have to move into a wooden cabin somewhere in Sweden, she would have to work hard in a field from dusk to dawn; she would quickly get unwell because of lack of modern medicines; and she would by no means able to sustain her vegan lifestyle. Because, in fact, this would move us not into XVIII century-after all, various steam engines were already up and running in XVIII century - but somewhere into Middle Ages.
Why does she demand that? Because she is uneducated and ignorant. Because she doesn't understand what she is talking about. Because instead of promoting science and knowledge, she motivates kids around the world to skip on it. As a result, we have hordes of young people who
demand immediate transition to 100% renewable energy, but lack even remote understanding of power generation or electrical grid operation (not even speaking of understanding why significant imbalance between electrical power generation and power consumption can cause catastrophic damage to a power plant within minutes). People who have not even basic knowledge of industrial processes their survival depends upon - like fertilizer production, or transportation, not even speaking of more complex things like metallurgy, mechanical or chemical engineering. People who have no idea what are the
consequences of their demands.
People like Greta and her followers dramatically
underestimate importance of healthy economy for their life and well-being, because they have no idea what "economic collapse" mean. They were shielded from experienced that personally, and they are ignorant to learn it from education materials. They don't understand that if their country
decides to de-industrialize, other countries would be eager
to pick up their position in the world economy. They don't
understand that the loss of industries would lead to mass
unemployment and consequent impoverishment of working
people; under-nourishment and premature death of millions;
suicide epidemics, and rampant increase in corruption and crime for the rest. Economic downturn can bring as much death and suffering as a major disaster. When the Soviet Union collapsed and economy went into a downward spiral, the population of my home country, Ukraine, dropped from 52 million of people to 42 million in less than 15 years. Because of economic downturn, Ukraine lost more people than in whole WWII, and these losses continue. Compared to this, the all-feared Chernobyl disaster is a
minor inconvenience, not worth of even being mentioned.
In short - people hate Greta because she is
unknowledgeable, spoiled kid who glorifies her lack of knowledge. A kid who makes unreasonable demands that, if implemented, will make many millions suffer.
I wonder how on earth all them important (cough) people from The Oscars got there. Hypocrites

But we know there bad but there aren’t economic substitutes
There's wind energy plants, hydroelectric plants, biogas, solar power.
There are people who make vehicles working on them. But they're not sponsored cuz industries don't earn as much from these.

I find it amazing all the negative comments about Greta...someone who wants positive change to make our only home, called Earth better for all of us. Don't you want Earth, your only home to better? Less polluted? Breathable? Anything better? You attack a human that wants a positive outcome for us? What is wrong with you people?

Theres actually some easy things we can all do. Turn off lights when you leave a room, unplug your charger when your not using it. Recycleing is easy, pop cans, plastic bottles, paper. Dont throw away food compost it. Dont turn up that thermostat wear a sweater, use extra blankets. If you dont feel that you can do big things try some small things they can help.
I 100% agree with you.....but are you vegan? Animal agriculture is a huge culprit towards our demise. Not to mention animals are tortured to death in factory farms and even small farms. And yes I was an animal eater myself. But truly eating animals makes you sick...it truly does. Look at elephants, biggest mammals on Earth and are vegans : )

@@carolinedewinters25 idk about being a vegitarian or vegan. Id at least have to eat fish and the animals I hunt or bugs. Its not wrong for people to use animals as long as its responsible, we could definetely take better care of the things we eat, if its sustainable we should be aloud to do it.
I do also believe some animals are kept in horrible conditions like cows on ships that practuce should end.
Im a big believer in eating bugs, I think it's a huge un tapped food for some countries like the US.

America is actually per capita the biggest emitter of greenhouse gasses. China is about 5 times larger in population than USA so not surprising their emissions are higher

A lot of interesting comments here. Mostly men I would guess. Ignoring the (widely available) facts. I think you should stop denying and start reading reports from people who actually understands the challenge we are facing.
Ok. Now for the serious. She should go to Brazil, Mexico, India, China if she wants to make change. The western world already is working on this issue.

@@SmilingSanja No, she's not doing something. All she has done so far is convince people like extinction rebellion to act more radical. Making these speeches hasn't saved a single tree, or prevented any pollution. She has done less than a comedy youtuber. Think about that for a second.
@@CoolChris-vn8hz Sorry, she's only executed climate change youth strikes around the world? To actually discuss about it vs. not talking about it at all is something. Does it mean change will happen, probably not. When people are desperate, then change will happen, until then, I too believe nothing will happen until it's over, meaning we are all wiped out to extinction. And the 6th Mass Extinction is happening right now, that she is right about. I don't even need her or a scientist to tell me that. I see it myself.
China consumes 28% of the worlds meat, and emits 27% of global carbon emissions. China has started making cfc (chlorofluorocarbon) materials such as insulation because it is much cheaper, causing a 110% increase from 2014. I find it somewhat humorous that the u.n. has a kid reading someone else speech. She has been fortunate enough to travel around the world. Is she doing it in a glider, no..... Wonder whos paying for it. Yet she wants to reduce aviation emissions while saying "in my experience". What experiences does she speak of?
Sheesh. Chlorofluorocarbons are so bad for the environment which is why they made them illegal to use in many countries around the world. Sure, they are cheap, but I didn't think that China would go back to using them. It's saddening to hear things like this.
Greta's actually not that young. She may look young, but she's about to turn 17 this January. She also has Asperger's. People with Asperger's each have a few things they are very passionate about. This is obviously one of those things. They find it sometimes difficult to talk about things outside of these topics. So even though it might not seem like it, yes she wrote that speech.
Greta also stopped flying years ago. When she visited the US a couple of months ago, she went by a 100% renewable energy boat. She also travels around her country by train. She has never been photographed getting into a car. She's most likely been doing this for years before people even knew her name.
If you want to learn more about Greta, you should definitely research her. :)
It’s upsetting how many adults try to bash her, she looks exhausted fighting for a cause people are trying to neglect. Don’t worry, ten years from now all you idiots are going to be regretting your judgement towards this girl and wish you had listened to her.

@David Harry-Ngonadi Wildfires have been happening forever. Stop acting like wildfires just became a thing recently.
My mother got told she would die within 8 years in 1980 when she was seven. Yet here we are forty years later and she and her classmates still haven't died. Climate change is real but it has been happening since mankind evolved or even before that. It will warm up and cool down we cant do anything about it except for reusing water and things like that. We should be worrying more about our oceans and stop using plastic. Thank you for reading my name is Jessica swain and I am 12 years old.
I am twelve years old as well and I know that in the 1980’s they didn’t have the technology or the knowledge that we know now back then that could of just been a predicament but now that fires are happening sea levels are rising and the ozone layer is crumbling. The ozone layer is what protects us from the sun and take thousands of years to heal. In that amount or time including pollution would take even longer in that period of time humans will start becoming instinct from lack of resources and fresh air due to air pollution and due to overpopulation and if you think we can start eating other types of animal we couldn’t because they would become extinct before we do because they’re already 41416 animals that are endangered because of pollution. The earth has never been in a crisis like this created by Man U may think volcanoes earthquakes and other natural disasters are worse but the earth was built to deal with that it was not built for the pollution that we have caused. All this nonsense saying that the earth can handle it is not true we have been on this earth for only 00.009% of the time that earth has been living and look what we have already caused. This is a real crisis that we should take seriously and try and stop before it’s too late
@@dineomuganda6376 I respect you for taking the time to comment that. But there are things that are false and they aren't as bad as they are made out to be. I do agree that climate change is a thing, but one thing people seemed to ignore is that most of the fires in Australia right now are not Bush fires. 183 people were arrested for starting fires in Australia. Now I know this doesn't prove much but it proves my point. Things are not as bad as they are made out to be. I think what we should focus out more is our wildlife and our sea, we also need to reduce, reuse and recycle. Climate change is more so a natural cause and if the world is overpopulated there is nothing we can really do, except make everyone who is pregnant get an abortion or start killing everyone and everything. But that would make humans and every other living creature go extinct.
Jessie lolly thank you for answering seriously and yes many fires where cased by humans but not all where on purpose a lot of fires where lit either due to the embers or ashes from the other fires and from accidents such as a cars gas catching on fire or electrical ropes falling and also catching on fire. As well as the fact that your right about plastic and the fires, you also need to remember the’re other things damaging the earth that is far more worse that will wipe us out before we can start a big cleaning impact. We should stop using plastic all together but it’s not the time to clean up yet we need to end air pollution so we don’t have to wear masks while cleaning the ocean. Or we need to fix the global warming crisis so we aren’t sweating when we are picking plastic from the ocean. I get your point but plastic isn’t the only pollution.
@@dineomuganda6376 I do agree with you but as children our opinions most likely will not be heard. But I wish they would because not only do our conversations show that we are both giving each other a lot of respect, but it shows that 2 people can have different opinions and still have a calm and non-opinionated conversation. The thing about climate change is that the whole situation has caused an outburst of rage and hate for one another. I think we (as humans) need to work together to make our earth a better place for everyone and everything. The hate and rage is unreal between everyone and so think that we need to get over it. I also think that electric cars are a good Idea for the future. Would you possibly like to be friends? Do you have any social medias or anything ❤

I may disagree with the coverage the media is giving this girl, but leaving that aside for a moment, I have to say that if she was my daughter I would be a proud father. We can dislike maybe some degree of fanaticism in her, or we could maybe say that she is a bit immature and doesn't have her feet on the ground. Come on guys, she is sixteen years old, it is normal that she will not have such a mature point of view at this point in her life. But, there is definitely something to appreciate in her courage, in how she is taking responsibility and addressing these institutions. Instead of being a self-centered teenager, she is dedicating her time to work for what she believes in, even at such age. We could all learn from that.
