Imagine that, being told by a fifteen year old that you're not mature enough to do what's unpopular, to do the right thing: to make the hard decisions. Damn. Our world needs more people like her.
we need more people like Greta indeed. Our world is complicated and resists change. We are now consuming that dinosaur juice for free. Just look at France... Mr. Macron tried to put additional tax on fossil fuels. That resulted in deadly riots in the streets. Education is what the world needs so badly!
I guess the takeaway is, never grow up because growing up seems less about maturity and more about learning to be be deaf, dumb and blind, detached and cynical.
A precocious fifteen year old has ZERO idea what they're yakking about. That's why we don't let them run ANYTHING, not even their own lives! She's being used by adults to regurgitate propaganda; pure and simple.
the children of today are wiser than the elder; because they are incarnating in times of change
@@Retroshift The children of today are coddled, inexperienced, and poorly educated. None of that produced wisdom of any kind in anyone. All she's doing is regurgitating propaganda and platitudes fed to her by adults pushing an agenda they can't sell in the basis of facts and reason. Therefore, they have to appeal to emotion and the secular priesthood of scientists. The Left genuflects to this modern priesthood as the latter have never been wrong about anything, and have been the source of unimaginable atrocities. Science invented race. It invented eugenics, lobotomy, nuclear weapons, and its concomitant atrocities. Contrary to Leftist ideology, science is neither good nor evil, even as they bow to its practitioners as though they were not corrupt humans like the rest of us mere mortals.

This is precisely why children are used to promote controversial views. To bypass your reason and criticism.
That's the whole idea Sammy they want to invoke your emotions climate change is an emotional discussion. Even though it's not totally true because it's a topic that is driving people apart.
@Food for thought That's just badmouthing, you can't know that. Yes, the peer groups we're part of and especially our parents do have a major influence on our ideals and world view. But that goes for all of us. Also it doesn't make a right thing wrong does it?

GRETA THUNBERG: My name is Greta Thunberg. I am 15 years old, and I’m from Sweden. I speak on behalf of Climate Justice Now!
Many people say that Sweden is just a small country, and it doesn’t matter what we do. But I’ve learned that you are never too small to make a difference. And if a few children can get headlines all over the world just by not going to school, then imagine what we could all do together if we really wanted to.
But to do that, we have to speak clearly, no matter how uncomfortable that may be. You only speak of green eternal economic growth because you are too scared of being unpopular. You only talk about moving forward with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible thing to do is pull the emergency brake. You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave to us children.
But I don’t care about being popular. I care about climate justice and the living planet. Our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number of people to continue making enormous amounts of money. Our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine can live in luxury. It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few.
The year 2078, I will celebrate my 75th birthday. If I have children, maybe they will spend that day with me. Maybe they will ask me about you. Maybe they will ask why you didn’t do anything while there still was time to act. You say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes.
Until you start focusing on what needs to be done, rather than what is politically possible, there is no hope. We cannot solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis. We need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground, and we need to focus on equity. And if solutions within the system are so impossible to find, then maybe we should change the system itself.
We have not come here to beg world leaders to care. You have ignored us in the past, and you will ignore us again. We have run out of excuses, and we are running out of time. We have come here to let you know that change is coming, whether you like it or not. The real power belongs to the people. Thank you.
Thanks for this.
Thank you! I've taken screenshots of the whole thing.

Yes depressed neurotic autistic teens are the wisest among us, she must lead us. I am in the process of building a 16ft tall statue of Greta in my backyard to show my devotion to her. I have installed strobe lights and an outdoor speaker system that blasts baby shark five times a day as my call to prayer to pray to my statue of Greta. At night before I go to bed I take my prayer mat and lay it at the foot of the statue and masterbate to raise awareness of the need to reduce CO2 emissions. I am currently in the process of being sued by my HOA and neighbors for in their words "outrageous behavior and out of code oversized statue of a child". I am not going to apologize for being on the right side of history and fighting climate change.

“ Not mature enough” sums up the entire republican platform.
Selfishness is their only virtue
"i'm with her" was the most selfish, self-obsessed, sexist campaign slogan EVER.
Bernie would have gotten my vote, if the (right wing) DNC hadn't cheated him...but it went to Jill Stein, instead.
right wing Democrats (nearly all Democrat politicians) are *No Better* than Republicans.
donHooligan - Exactly !!!
And unfortunately a lot of Democrats too as many of them are taking fossil fuel company money and won't support a radical investment in renewable energy (i.e, Green New Deal). We need to clean House and Senate & WH in 2020.
She's talking to the democrats too. and the Europeans, and to all leaders. They need to grow a spine and stand up to the people with the money who want the status quo to persist, and see the crisis for what it is and change NOW.
Stop thinking who to blame, start thinking how to fix it. When the house is on fire, you start quenching the flames, you don't go pointing fingers at whodunnit.
And the Democratic platform as well. Make no mistake: democrats are just as culpable and against you as the republicans.
And the world stands corrected, by a 15-year old...
I am sure she did not write that speech herself but an older person did.
@@fearofmusic1312 and the proof is where?
@@yeska62 No proof, but it's not unusual to use children as presenters for marketing reasons. Maybe it's just her being nervous (which would be understandable) but she does not seem to speak very freely or from the bottom of her heart and mind but seems to read a text that uses words she would not use normally. I am convinced that someone else wrote it or at least corrected and changed parts of a speech she might have written herself. I don't think thats bad, as long as she agrees with what she reads there, as the message is still a good and important one, but it does not feel really naturally.
@Davvy Jannes Oh, i do not criticise her for this speech and am well aware of the intelligence and eloquence of children and teenagers in her age, which can range widely, just like among older persons. Yet, to me and most I've asked, her speech does not feel naturally nor entirely convincing in style as it seems to be polished and altered indeed. Yet of course, it could be a misunderstanding from my side and again, i do not criticise her for that. And yeah, she probably isn't the average 15 year old, but then again, maybe it would have been all the more credible if an average young person spoke about this issue in less stilted, artificial ways indeed as it is a topic that affects us all and should be communicated as just that.
@@fearofmusic1312 she only speaks when it is needed. As she tells in this TEDx talk. ruclips.net/video/EAmmUIEsN9A/видео.html

@@peaceblossom8 it's because of our rational part of our brain. It decides what information you gain is true and how to make a bias on another. So when they don't care, they just neglect the facts that are given and only realize it after those facts come true.

How can someone so young understand the big picture so well and articulate her views so clearly? Astonishing. Bold. Courageous. Inspirational. I am awestruck.
Thank you, Greta. The world is so much richer because of your voice.
I'm curious about if she wrote the speech herself. If so, she has done an excellent job!
Because it is not hers. It ja scripted.

She doesn't understand the big picture, no-one does. every young adult walks into adulthood with the confidence that they know all and that they are above the fossils of yesterday. when they reach 30 however they can just look back at how stupid they were..
@@jayfunk8581 what??
The finest and clearest speech on climate change ever, and the wisest.
didnt she basically say "you do you boo"? I honestly didn't know what to make of it, it just looked like grandstanding.
@@snuffeldjuret - And yet Professor Kevin Anderson, an actual climate scientist tweeted "On climate change @GretaThunberg demonstrates more clarity & leadership in one speech than a quarter of a century of the combined contributions of so called world leaders. Wilful ignorance & lies have overseen a 65% rise in CO2 since 1990. Time to hand over the baton."
This is it, to experts, what Greta Thunberg says is profound, because they understand the situation in depth, and know her analysis is the most perfect approximation of the problem. There no exaggeration at all in what Greta Thuberg says, she has correctly understood the science. Climate change is definitely an existential threat to our civilization. It really could lead to the collapse of our civilization, and the starvation of billions of people. That is what the actual science points to, if it is not addressed.
However, if you are someone who doesn't understand the science, and how reliant we are on ecosystems finely adapted to the current climate regime, and you have been misled by propaganda, into believing the science isn't clear, or is mistaken, it might not make sense. But this is the thing, to a public with no insight into any science, they have no basis on which to evaluate the problem. Science is not made to be understandable to lay people. The public has no understanding of gravity, bar from what it does, no insight in Einstein's theory of relativity, or even basic Newtonian mechanics. Basically the public has at best a very sketchy of all the big scientific discoveries of the last several hundred years. Usually the public just takes word of senior scientists. There is no precedent of the public working things out for themselves, or choosing what science to accept or question.
Yet this is the thing, except for a few ideologically motivated contrarian scientists, who also challenge lots of other stuff taken to be fact, there is no questioning of climate science. Every single scientific organization and institute accept anthropogenic climate change as described by the IPCC. This is from any field of science. To the vast majority of scientists without an ideological agenda, climate science is normal science and beyond question.
You may see what Greta Thunberg said as grandstanding. But to anyone with a deeper understanding of the science, what she says is profound and accurate.
@@stephenbarlow2493 She says "We have come here to let you know, that change is coming. Whether you like it or not. The real power belongs to the people" after trash talking the grown ups. How am I to not interpret that as "you do you boo, we don't care".
What she said is basically what I said when I was her age. It didn't make me deserve the Nobel Peace Price, it wasn't profound at all. It is very easy to know everything when you are a kid. She does, and so did I. It is like saying "Oh man, if no one committed any crime, the world would be a fantastic place". Oh so profound, applause!
Not sure why you think I am anti-science, I am probably more pro-science than you.
The statement made by Professor Kevin Anderson is hyperbolic and you know it.
@@snuffeldjuret - I didn't say you were anti-science, you just made that up - I said you self-evidently didn't "understand the science" [behind climate change and the impacts], along with the history of failures to address the causes of climate change. Not understanding, is not the same as being against something.
This is because if you did understand how profound and accurate what Greta Thunberg says is, you wouldn't have said what you did. I've been following climate change, the science, attempts to address the causes etc, for over 30 years, and environmental impacts for nearly 50 years. In that time I have never heard anyone speak with the clarity and accuracy of Greta Thunberg. You obviously haven't been paying attention. Listen at the beginning, where Greta Thunberg says she is speaking on behalf of "Climate Justice Now", a "grown-up" organization. What Professor Kevin Anderson says is not hyperbolic, and if you knew anything at all about him, and why he said that, you'd understand why.
www.globaljustice.org.uk/who-we-are
Forget Greta Thunberg's age. She is not just a kid saying things. She has had a profound effect world wide in just a few months. She has inspired many of the leading thinkers on climate change. As for your claims that she is basically saying what you did at her age, I better not say too much about it. I don't remember you being invited to sit with the UN Secretary General, or inspiring leading thinkers on whatever subject you were talking about. Likewise about your claim that you are more "pro-science" than me. Do you know me, have we met? How do presume to know this? Science is a vast subject, and only a small minority of scientists study climate science and related fields such as environmental science and ecological science. Therefore I was making no assumptions whatsoever about your knowledge of science generally, how pro-science you were etc, just that self-evidently you do not know much about climate change, the history of addressing it, or rather the failure to address the causes, the seriousness of the threat. Unless you are just pretending not to.
We've reached a juncture in time where we only have a very narrow window of opportunity to address climate change. It's a life or death thing for our civilization. Many climate change activists, and climate scientists, which are entirely different, have come to realise that we must act now, and force the necessary change, because our leadership have completely misunderstood the seriousness of the threat from climate change. Almost certainly most had already decided that, before they'd ever heard of Greta Thunberg. She has simply captured the zeitgeist perfectly. There is a whole new climate activism movement forming, with people, who have not been in trouble with the law before willing to go to prison, in large numbers. Greta Thunberg knows all about this, you self-evidently do not, and haven't been following it, or you would know just how deadly serious they are. If our leadership does not take the necessary action, in the next few years you are going to see a massive rebellion by informed people. This is what Greta Thunberg is talking about.
@@stephenbarlow2493 wtf? who are you talking to? Talk about straw-manning. If you want to talk to me, I am here. If you want to talk to someone else, go somewhere else. I hope you are more constructive when you talk to people who disagree with your core ideas, because if this is how you interact with them oh boy I truly understand why our movement hasn't come further.

@André Q. Our nature and climate has not really changed either.
Funny to read how haters react. Why are they so intimidated by the younger generation? Climate change isn't only about warming up, cooling down.That is a bit too simple. I bet those same haters never heard about 'microplastic pollution' (invisible to see with the eyes) in our waters and all of our food, yes even in fresh food in the supermarket. I bet they never heard about 'micro-organisms diversity', the base of all life, which is in very heavy decline caused by different kinds of human pollution. Even if we only decimate a little of micro-life diversity, then no single life on earth is possible anymore. Climate change isn't only about Nature, it's also about how WE can change, the climate of our brain capacity, the climate of our own intentions, for the benefit for future generations. It's surviving the next step in evolution, not only for human, but for every possible life on Earth. Don't forget, our kids are our future, eventually the new generations always wins from the older generations, it's called progress. It's progress in thinking, progress in surviving. Economy will not crash, it's just gonna change (a lot), just like our approach to life itself.
Ganymed G. People like you are the reason why there's no hope for the future of the human race.

Exactly, and that's why they are so scared and desperately commenting in every one of her videos, clinging to pseudo-scientific garbage, ridiculous conspiracy theories or religion. I've been replying to a lot of their comments with facts trying to "educate" them but it's like talking to a brick wall.
@@DreamMaster8 I know Agus, it's a desperate task, but, we have to keep talking about it, soon we will receive some help: From mother earth, she will force us to change or face extinction.
@@mediaphotons7493 I feel the same way, I think there is a 99.99% change we go extinct but if by some absolute miracle we manage to stabilize earth, use our technology to increase forests, jungles, coral reefs and give up at least 50% of the whole planet back to nature we could have a civilization that could last for tens of thousands of years and travel to the stars.
We would have to enact incredibly strict laws against harming nature and a culture that completely understands our connection with the planet and the universe. A planet first doctrine.
We would be the protectors of nature, we would do everything to increase biodiversity and the abundance of life and use all our technology and knowledge for the good of all beings not just a couple of the millions of species.
I know, it's an almost impossible dream, that's why I said we have less than 0.001% of reaching that level but on the other side of the Anthropocene lies a world of unimaginable potential and a vast future that could span for millions of years.
Instead of being the mistake of the universe that we are now we would the bearers of the torch of life and achieve true eternal glory and power.
@@DreamMaster8 Exactly my thoughts, thank you for sharing.
@@mediaphotons7493 No problem my friend!
If you deny climate change, explain your position to your children so they will remember your views and explain your inaction to future generations.

@@anthonytreen6253 no because the world is factually dying if we don't stop our carbon emissions. You can't "believe" otherwise, it is proven that climate change is real.

@@EthanSweitz you are the one listening to the politicians. Al Gore was probably your hero at some point. I on the other hand, for very good reasons, have not listened to a politician for many many years. As for big oil they have had zero influence on me.

@kautschuk Not yet.
Dearest Greta Thunberg,
should you ever read this I have but one small piece of constructive criticism - Where you say, "We have run out of excuses and we are running out of time," I think you should change this to, "YOU have run out of excuses and WE are running out of time," putting great emphasis on "you" and "we." I think this small change would make for a stronger, more provocative statement and one that better reflects the reality of the situation.
That small critique aside, your speech was brilliant, and moving, and most of all it was motivating in its uncompromising nature. You should be very proud of the work you are doing. I'm certainly proud of you and I'm sure many others are too, all around the world. Keep fighting the good fight young lady, I'll be following your efforts from here in Australia.
On behalf of mother Earth and all life that depends on Her, let me send a huge and heartfelt THANK YOU.
i think she said it the way she wanted it becausse she wants to make clear that the people in charged were mosst elected by us so we share their wrong doing.
No, she said it right. Its not just them who are doing this, we are all also responsible for this. We have and always had the power. People are just to dumb and passive and careless just like those politicians. So yea, she should always say we, not you. Its not just them be blame. We are all in this together.
TrentRidley Stupid!.
Nina Briesch Greta being 15 years old has never had the chance to elect anyone other than possibly some elementary school class presidents... so “YOU” would have worked fine, even with your reasoning.
Either way I think she made brilliant speech. It’s remarkable, what she’s saying makes perfect sense and is more truthful and honest than any words that another politician would ever be caught dead uttering.
As a Swede I’m proud but also ashamed that she is the one that has to do this. Her mother or anyone else from an earlier generation should have been the one standing there. And it should have happened years ago!
She gave her speech on behalf of the world's children, children who are not responsible for the predicament we find ourselves in with regards to climate change, but it is they who will have to suffer the consequences. That is why I think it would be more impactful and accurate for her to say, "You (the adults that have failed to heed the warnings of scientists and take the appropriate action) have run out of excuses and we (the children and those to come that will be left to deal with the consequences) are running out of time."
True words spoken by a brilliant young woman!

@@raketman101 yes, this 15 year old girl with no power is a dictator that will control your thoughts. Clearly she is the threatening one, the one that speaks the scientific fact of the situation. I guess all the scientists are also a dictators? Do you even here your self?

@@raketman101 This isn't about society, it's about the big pollutors of large companies. And who has to pay the increasing bills to tackle this climate crisis? Me, because the government does barely anything against the big polluters.
@Miles North what ruse? Climate change? Because you know it's a ruse when 98% of scientists say its happening and is caused by humans. We are living in the sixth mass extinction right now. More over, at least in America 67% know climate change is real and is caused by humans. So you are in the minority, and your ignorance is a danger to humanity.

@@heathermcdougall2399 You're goddamn right.

I wonder who wrote the speech
at Zvezda - some one who speaks English, it was not in her own words, it was not in Swedish.. so i agree with you i think that this is a piece of NWO propaganda meant to distract us from there evil plans to depopulate the world..
Then again maybe i'm wrong and she actually speaks English and wrote the whole speech and this is all legit and on the up and up and its true we are nearing a climate change crisis and the icecaps will melt by the year 2100 or something like that...we need more solar power and wind power to burn less fosil fuel.. but why is Greta the only one of her kind , the one millennial that give a crap about the environment? why is she the real life Lisa Simpson, who decided that?
@CK Boulevard Its really not that hard to understand. This is basic science, and clearly, even politicians around the world still have trouble comprehending the scale of this problem. Greta Has made a point to learn and study these things, so yes. I do believe she is fully capable of understanding "how the carbon calculations are causing our electricity bills to skyrocket." This girl hasn't come this far as an activist for no reason.
She says, "They ignored us and they will continue to ignore us." That's right. Our only consolation is that they live in the same world as we do and will bear the same results as we do.

Climate change has nothing to do with politics.
It's the job of geologists.
0 That’s not true, politics play a key role in tackling climate change. Knowledge without action is useless.
Actually, the people who DENY climate change are the ones who are silenced. Those who PROMOTE the theory of climate change (like this girl) are given wide-spread exposure, positive media coverage, corporate support, grants, funding and public adoration.
This is nothing we need to concern ourselves with.
If kid A says this to adults, adults tend to more easily sign a multi trillion "Eko" scam.

This will be forgotten among time and the quest for money as one of the millions of cries that could have saved the world.
But didn't.

Thank you so very much Greta. By, world.
She doesn’t want you to have hope. She wants you to panic. She wants you to act. Just saying.

do, listen to all the children.Hopefully she will succeed where few of us have failed, and shock the officials into starting to repair our planet before it is too late.

@Paulie Please remind me which 'great country' started most of the war since 1980, I got 3 options, the USA, Russia and China.
She has always read out her statements, or should I say pre prepared statements.....
@Paulie The fear of expansion, comparing with the pain brought by actual war in Afghan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, which one in your mind is worse? If we call attacks on innocent people terrorism, don't u think the U.S. is the biggest one while it playing a role of police? About your point, Vietnam and Tibet do have troubles with Peking, but did the president of Phillipines just announce neighborly friendship with China? And for Japan, the fear of the trade war with the U.S. is currently more breath-taking I think.
@Paulie It's not about communist and capitalist, what I am talking about is which country is playing the warlord currently. About your point, before China get this strong, there were several economic crisis breaks in our world. The weakening of us isn't due to China or any of those communist regime, it came inside of us. The reason our economy ceased developing and periodical collapse is the choice of our market and cooperation of oligarch. I've been to China, I didn't feel that the people living in mainland have their human rights abusing like the North Korea while I felt their self-abasement toward Caucasian faces. Talking about past 70 years slaughtering, u should take a count on the number of slaughtering we did to Asian and Afro-Caribbean.
I am a sixteen year old Chinese student. What I want to say is that not all young people are as ignorant as that Swedish girl. I want to compare my own childhood and thoughts with her, and you will know why this girl is ignorant. I don't think I'm smarter than she is, but I can at least guarantee that I won't be as ignorant as she is. In addition, it has nothing to do with the state.
One. He was born in Sweden. We all know that Sweden is a very rich country. People's life pressure is very, very low. Although there is no international status, people are happy.
2. I'm her age, but I don't think she knows enough about the world. Because she lived in a wealthy environment when she was a child. There's nothing to worry about. But my childhood was different from hers. Although I had enough food and clothes when I was young, you know, in 03-07, China is still a poor country with a per capita GDP of only 4000 dollars. When I was born in 03, my family had no computer, no air conditioning, or even my only toy was a car model. My only entertainment is an old TV set. I don't have a car at home. So I know how poverty feels. At that time, I was satisfied to eat enough.
Three. I don't know her, but personally I think she has enough time, but she spends it on meaningless things instead of learning to make herself more educated. I am as young as she is now, but I know what is "self-knowledge". I never comment and interpret things that I do not understand. I will learn something I do not understand. When I understand, I will not immediately say I understand, but put it in my mind.
3. She apparently did not spend her time learning and understanding the world.
4. Everyone who has experienced pain will be grateful and satisfied with today's life. Nowadays, many people in the world have difficulties in living and eating. They don't have the energy to care about the "environment" because it's hard for them to get enough resources. T The so-called "environment". Rich people tell the poor: "You should protect the environment."go fuck you self. My standard of living is quite different from my childhood. Like other Chinese people, there is nothing to worry about now, even though the air quality is getting worse. I have been to 9 countries, the United States, Canada, Japan. Europe has been to France, Switzerland, Sweden and Britain. I can feel that the standard of living in Europe is really high except in France, so as I said before, people who have lived carefree since childhood think differently from those who have lived poor to carefree.

I used to be an optimist, I try to hold on to it, to see the cup as half full, not empty, but it's getting harder and harder to see the cup as half full. Moreover, I realized that our governments are exchanging the cup's fluid with poison to kill us all, to destroy our future, to destroy the future of our children.
"It would be too easy to be discouraged" We need to believe that a change is possible, we owe it to ourselves, we owe it to our children.
Very brave of her, and decent of her to do this. thumbs up from Wales. Her right wing critics are evil.
Severn Cullin Suzuki did a speech like this years ago... Nothing changed :(
Suzuki? I thought we nuked that city. Damn.
Linus I think over the past decades there has been some change. We are now more aware of what we all need to do because of social media.
And more people have already taken action in changing their habits and working on making and using more truly ecofriendly products.
Wow that girl she got a power My God she's very good well my so so so good
This is the voice we will hear while we are being marched to our deaths
If she wants to complain about something that is actually stealing her future she could talk about something that CAN be controlled by humans. Such as the *massive debt* today's (and yesterday's) generations are piling up that her generation will have to also pass on or pay. That is something actually happening and can be fixed. THAT is something which WILL affect her future in a very negative way.
But would you rather have debt or die. Just a thought. Sometime money isn't the only thing that matters. A world we live in is, There would be no debt if we didn't have a planet.

Co2 emissions are heavier than air and therefore disperse all around us. When it is cold, Co2 vaporises. A good example of this is when a plane is flying high in a clear blue sky; we will then see a great cloud of vaporised Co2. Where clouds don't rise, but in low pressure areas they can come down as rain or snow, but they don't rise up into the stratosphere. Although methane, from cows, is a potential greenhouse gas, its effect is relatively short-lived. So perhaps the climate change and the global warming that spelled the end of the recognised Ice-Age, over 12,000 years ago, is also what is happening now? When waste plastic should surely be our true concern?
Methane is the most potent of all greenhouse gases. short lied? Wrong again look at what CO2 and CH4(Methane) did to our sister planet of Venus.600°-900° on the surface hot enough to melt lead. This has been known since the '70"s. Check your sources before you post or ask for a raise from the oil companies or their lobby
Plastics are the basically the same things long chains of hydrocarbons and synthetic materials that will poison our food and fresh water supply by not degrading where humans choose to leave them. Synthetic materials engineered in the 20th century will be here long after the last human walks the planet. This is the only repeat ONLY place we know of that can support our species and the food we consume so unless we collectively get our priorities straight the next few generations of us will be the last
@@travisbarrett7329
Yes but methane from cows is short lived. It is a scientific fact! Therefore it it is dispersed and cannot rise up into the stratosphere! Check your sources before you and like others are trying to cause an unnecessary panic! I do not work and associate myself with oil companies, so your slander is also short lived, like the methane that emanates from your own behind!
Methane degrades into CO2 that isn't at all short-lived, even by natural sinks. And in the meantime it is 80 times more effective a greenhouse gas.

There are arguments made both for and against whether global is real or not, but a very important question we must ask our selves; for the sake of life on earth, are we willing to risk it?

What does your gut feeling tell you?
@@jacobbarncastle5994 It doesn"t really matter what I feel about it. Im not a scientist, so I can't prove whethet its a real thing or not. But what I can say is that I feel that we shouldn't take the risk
There aren't truly arguments about that. The climate change is scientific consensus and the arguments against it are long disproven. They are just still repeated despite that because climate change denial is a huge industry. Have you even wondered why the arguments against climate change are mainly heard in the media which is known for participating in the denial? You don't hear the counter arguments a lot in scientific institutions.

02:15
anything while there still was time to

act

you say you love your children above all
02:23
else and yet you're stealing their

future in front of their very eyes until

done rather than its what is politically
02:36
possible there is no hope we cannot
02:40
solve the crisis without treating it as

Right to the point, fact upon fact, and well spoken. This is the battle cry for every country's generation alive in this time.
Watched this in science class and our teacher apparently will let us protest if we want
That's a true teacher.

Nellie Warren Take control of what? The fucking TV remote?
Goddamnit people are getting so easily scammed, it's worrying.
"this young woman is absolutely metal."
Yes, she's toxic.
Leaders never care how we are destroying mother nature globally. Rich people think in they're luxuries. I'm a native American we must listen to our children .

Only one way to end global heating --- END ALL WEALTH. No one owning more than just enough for a comfortable life. All wealth dedicated to compassion and charity in a way that best produces a grateful response. Such as mass transit, green energy and ending hunger.
WOW!! AMEN SISTA ✊🏿✊🏻✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
Can someone please explain me the dangers of a warm climate?
Lots of clima refugees, the ocean height becomes higher and the desertification :-)
Cooler Mensch - do you really feel threatned of what you just wrote or do you copy paste from media? Have you considered the consequenses of an iceage?
Just google it. Mother nature is dying :(
Annoying Swedish Skier - You are brainwashed. The planet is alive and kicking. The inland ice even started building up again. Cheer up and enjoy the final years of the climate warm period.
@@wilmahestepigen8340
First of all *yes* global warming and the climatic change are documented and proven phenomenon by millions of scientists (the huge majority of them), so yeah don't even dare to say that is not happening.
1. Rise of sea levels due to the melting of polar ice caps. Many countries will be swallowed by oceans destroying ecosystems and potentially making an enormous demographic crisis (like the one that they are living in China, so little space for so many people). That without takin into account the death and extinction of the fauna in polar areas.
2. Plagues, many species will exponentially rise in population while in consequence othes became extinct (jellyfish for example, they are becoming a huge plague.). Bees for example are very sensitive animals and are the ones that suffer the most, without them plants won't be able to reproduce, a tragic chain of extinction. 3. Natural disasters like floods, storms, strong winds, droughts, extreme temperatures (not only hot ones, ignorant people like Donald Trump think that climatic change is just about that when it's the cause of both freezing and hot temperatures)... Will be very often and dangerous so health and echonomical problems will be more usual.
4. Other health problems like skin cancer due to the destruction of the ozone layer that protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays and their radiation. Pollution in general is the cause of hundreds of different diseases.
That's all I can think by now, there are probably much more in the Internet, I'm not an expert
Great job Greta because you are so right this world will be uninhabitable in 100 years thanks to the politicians padding their pockets with the coal and gas companies, developers cutting down trees to build. The ice glaciers are melting so fast the planet will be under water.
Not really, the global north and euroatlantic civilisation will met some hardships but as a civilisation we will of course prevail.
Others are not our problem.
@Frankie Cash Humans will be extinct in 9 years, and there's nothing we can do about it. ruclips.net/video/7yUeN5j7yfk/видео.html
You go girl...tell them the truth.
Amy Goodman, please interview Prof. Paul Beckwith & Executive Director of Scientists Warning Stuart Scott to get a better view what is Really happening with climate change and i also want to say: Thank You for the Great work You have done!
They already did and will again.
@@markmahan38 Democracy Now interviewed Scott /& Beckwith??
This is so good.
this is better

During the story I was thinking of another story. A tractor trailer was stuck under a bridge. Police, firemen, engineers, local officials all came and none had an answer to dislodging a truck. A 15 year old boy walked up to them and said, "If you take the air out of the tires the truck will lower and you can love it. They did so and it worked! Listen to children. They are not as unintelligent as some think.
well thats not surprising cuz your born with a defined amount of intelligence which can not be enhanced u can only aquire knowledge.
"You have ignored us in the past, and you will ignore us again" damn son....that's some shade right there. If only leaders actually did something....
She is my new inspiration
She is so good! Excellent speach Greta!
Scheiß aufs Klima. Gönn dir lieber. Ich gönne mir auch meinen 8 Zylinder Diesel...

Dear I totally agree with you, it's our all duty to make our planet clean
Our world need more people like that and less Kardashian’s!!!
She knows a lot more then most voters. Take that how you want.
however , everything happening now explain that the states whom have power of decision can not stop fossil fuel production . but they keeping struggling to have more and more and more than they need. i'm very sad , because we still alarming the world about something that they deny it.
Without the money for oil, andfood from the West the Arab-world would starve, like South Sudan
Well said but its sad that our leaders are failing to see that they are failling our next generation
Nothing says privilege more than telling people that have less than you to make sacrifices
Danny v I’m pretty sure that’s the opposite of what she said. She said that the world leaders need to focus less on political popularity and solve the climate change crisis. Whether or not climate change is real, she is not blaming impoverished or working class people
@@Luke-me8cf this isnt about Climate change this is about power and money , the UN is bankrupt while at the same time they are claiming the world is going to end unless they get cash for environmental GMO'S, and that brings me to the useful idiots the ego maniacs that think being enviro nuts makes them smarter and more moral people , when really they are just the privileged upper classes that don't have to pay the price for their own virtue and neither the government, its always the lower middle working people that suffer that's why we find you people insufferable
@@dannyv161 I live in Michigan. My dad works at a paper mill and my mom is a teacher. I know middle class. I never said that I think that she is right, I just don't think that you are understanding what she is saying. She is not asking for the rich bimbos to make the middle class and poor people suffer. She is asking them to make sacrifices in their own lives. On the other hand, I do not trust politicians to attempt to lower carbon emissions without prioritizing the upper class. She is asking them to avoid doing that. My whole life I have believed in climate change but my dad has shown me some convincing evidence against it recently. This clashes with the evidence that I have seen my whole life so I am doing more research before I retake my stance. I am trying to have an open mind in the climate change debate but I think you truly missed the point of her speech. (P.S. I am 18 years old you are not arguing with a child)
This isn’t a dream world, nothing we do will have a effect on climate change.
The earth and the sun always get the last say on that. :)
The problem is , people don’t try or even care to even do something
@@Saipan2297 That's a huge lie. Everyone cares, except a handful of ghetto dwellers that live in filth. I'll bet 90% or all Americans care, and we pay more than our share to keep the world clean.

I respect you
Children are the future! I'm only 11 and I ask myself every day why aren't they doing anything? why aren't I doing anything?
2:21- 2:30
i cried
Well let me tell you why , we're doing tons of things, recycling, filters on engines etc. even things that make no sense like reusable bags or paper straws. Europe and the US are leading in terms of minimizing polution. The real issue is with countries like China with 50% of carbon emissions. There is also the small fact that 10 rivers currently pollute the oceans, 8 are in Africa and 2 are in Asia.
The statement " Children are the Future " only refers to the fact that you will grow up to be adults that make the decisions one day, not that you're eligible to make them now. Keep going to school, being sceptic of everything and never take the left's words at face value. I really wish you well.
