    Pretty sure she wasn’t trying to amuse you guys. She was being serious about NY smelling like pollution.

    • @NjorunsDream
      @NjorunsDream 5 лет назад +288

      New Yorkers have a dark sense of humor. They don't think that pollution is non-serious, they just laugh kind of darkly when people call them out on their pollution problem, as if to say "Yeah, we know, you caught us... it's embarrassing." They're laughing that she's being very frank and doesn't mind pointing out something in an "undiplomatic" way, which generally New Yorkers enjoy, even at their own expense. Most of this audience is very much in favor of seeing climate change as a fact and doing better for the environment. But the very corrupt power structure that keeps things the way things are has left many New Yorkers disenchanted, and so we/they (and Americans in general), tend to laugh at our problems. There's that saying-- you can cry or you can laugh, either way it sucks.

      I think she was trying to downplay it after all that laughter. New York doesn't quite smell like pollution, instead, it would be more accurately described as PEE, EVERYTHING SMELLS LIKE SUN-BAKED PEE, I COME FROM A TROPICAL THIRD WORLD COUNTRY'S MOST POPULATED CITY AND EVEN HERE IT DOESN'T SMELL LIKE PEE, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU NYC PEOPLE?!

      @Phil 502 They are scientists, they have degrees and years of experience - fuck off with your quote marks around the term. The dangers of climate change have been known since the 70s, and over 98% of all peer-reviewed scientific studies and articles back the fact that it is real and it is man-made. Nothing more stupid than to view science with the same sceptical eye as business: one is based on the idea of the need for infinite growth and infinite financial gains, the other is based on observing and understand this planet in order to protect it.

You can see for yourself something is off. It is affecting the psyche of people. And its not because of media ”propaganda”. Because we had that before and people didnt care about it then either.

      You (and Vlad) miss the point. You are implying that environmentalists are asking people in poverty to stay in poverty in order to protect the environment. This is simply not true. Yes, the highly industrialized nations are far more responsible for climate change, and having more industrialized nations accelerates the process, *if proper measures aren't taken*. There are measures that can be taken. People are so stubborn and selfish you make a statement like that as an excuse to live your life "normally" and not make any changes. So you can feel guilt free... like somehow YOUR the hero for not asking Africans to stay poor, when that has nothing to do with it. I hope you see the light some day and help in the fight to save the world. Or at least help some Africans, if reducing your meat consumption or other small "sacrifices" are so unbearable.

      @magicforest71 5 лет назад +68

      @Elisabeth V Most interviewers are diminishing her and the knowledge she has, by not asking about the science. They’re treating her like a little, frail girl that can’t possibly answer ”difficult science questions.”
      Studies show that women in general get that kind of treatment in media more often than men. Men get to talk about actual issues, and therefore appears to be smarter. Women get asked more about emotions, family, or other ”softer issues”. This affects both womens’ and mens’ views of womens’ capacity in general. One of many, many phenomenon that adds to the gender inequality we still have.
      Greta has been studying the climate issue for 7-8 years now, with an intensity of an Asperger’s... She’s as close to an expert as anyone can come, without being a scientist!
      She SHOULD be asked about the climate, every single interview!

      @@1famekouby Sorry, but you're projecting an image of wealth here that isn't actually warranted. By american standards her family would be considered lower upper class, at most. Like state-wide radio hosts or the like. They're local actors and singers in a small country that actually taxes the wealthy, not some sort of cabal of backroom multinational CEOs.
      And it's a false dichotomy to say individual action and holding the wealthy and the rest of us responsible are somehow mutually exclusive, or that one is important but the other one isn't (even though she absolutely has been calling out businesses and governments as well). Small decisions like an individual's carbon footprint does matter a lot when that behavior is repeated several hundred million times over a population. And ultimately corporations get away with most of their bullshit simply due to the apathy of the general population.

      @@fenrisulven5324 Ah, here we go again. That's what Greta meant when she said some people in the US (also in other places, but much less so) mistake the climate change for something you can decide to believe in or not. It's not a religion, bro. It's predictions based on observations and measurements of the real world in the past and current, extrapolated with proven climatic models into the future. All those tell us, within a high degree of certainty, how the climate is going to evolve and what influence that will have on our life, if we keep on doing as we are. That's called "science" and there is consensus about this topic among climate scientists.
      And no - climate scientists, communicators or even activists (who generally tend to overdramatise to get their points heard) are not saying that the world is goind to end in 10 or 20 years. Everyone knows and says that things will progressively get worse and it's already started. The problem is, that climate as well as large changes in society and industry are very long winded processes, which means we have to act as early as possible - ideally decades ago. Also there are certain points in warming the earth, where a snowball-effect can be triggered, like thawing permafrost-soil which releases large amounts of methane, speeding up warming and triggering more such effects and so on.
      Imagine it as a steadily growing heap of lightly toxic trash and you are the only one who is there to remove it. In the beginning, it's just a little and not very dangerous, but if you don't start removing it early and let it accumulate over the decades, you will have a toxic mountain before you, that you can't remove without being killed by it's toxic gasses anymore.
      I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but sadly you are the one that has been fooled. I don't know you and your life circumstances and therefore don't know how that attitude developed and will certainly not be able to convince you otherwise, so I won't argue with you. I just didn't want to let your misleading statements unanswered, though you might yourself not know that you are uttering bullcrap.

Whenever nuclear plants are closed they get replaced with fossil fuels, not renewables. Since closing the nuclear plant in his home state a few years ago, Vermont carbon emissions have gone up 16%. Discontinuing nuclear power on a national scale would be a disaster for the climate. Bernie is stuck in the 60s, we should be looking to the future. Statistically nuclear is actually the safest form of energy, even more than wind and solar. Look up Bill Gates’s TED talk on nuclear power if you want to learn more.

    One individual person choosing to go green will not change the environment on their own, but that's not why she's doing all of this.
    There's a good analogy of a man trying the impossible task of pushing a boulder, where he gives every ounce of his energy to do so. He sees success in not moving the boulder, but convincing people that together, doing something such as moving a massive boulder (a seemingly impossible task), as difficult as it may seem, can be accomplished if we work together.

      That's because they were all softball questions. Trevor didn't ask about the plane flights her boat's crew will take for the return trip. He also didn't touch on the fact that her boat is made of plastic and carbon fiber, and therefore actually has a huge carbon footprint. He also didn't wonder aloud why she couldn't just use the internet and video-conference to address a summit on another continent, the way tons of people do every day. That boat trip was a publicity stunt for fact-free people to tweet about. Have you seen her boat ? Where do you think they shat ? That thing doesn't have a toilet. Ask anyone who's sailed that kind of boat where your piss and shit go. And this was a 15-day trip. Compare that to an 8-hour flight where your waste gets disposed of and recycled when you land, not in the middle of the ocean.

      The government was warned before 2007 about a future water crisis and they lacked any interest in building new dams to supply an increasing population. They were and still are too focused on looting the taxpayer.
      South Africa has always had periods of plenty rainfall followed by dry seasons, and those who had the sense way back then prepared the necessary reservoirs to catch water during the periods of heavy rainfall to tide us over the dry seasons.
      This government is committed to what they term as "decolonization and radical economic transformation" (they won't say outright that they favour communism) and won't be following good water management practices to ensure that you as a citizen will always have clean running water. They are corrupt failures and will always be running South Africa to the ground for as long as people keep voting them in power. Ask first why the electorate is not worried about government incompetence.

      The conservative position isn’t “Oh well, not my problem lol. Good luck, bitch!” Their position is very simple.
      1. You haven’t proven global warming is real
      2. You haven’t proven it’s catastrophic
      3. You haven’t proven it’s manmade
      4. You haven’t proven it’s something we can prevent
      5. Even if you can prove ALL of this... you’d have to prove why, of all things, the government in their wild incompetence, is the solution
      And if the left is concerned about the future... maybe the left should start talking about the national debt then... Or maybe they don’t actually care about the future and it’s just a massive power grab.

      How is she any different? Most of them do the same thing- attach themselves to a cause that they don't really do much for, beyond "raising awareness", in an effort to gain fame while looking virtuous. All the airtime that she gets could go to people who are actually helping the cause, by inventing things to address the problem- like Boyan Slat. But lets praise her endlessly for finding a way to skip school and eventually gain fame- cause she is "raising awareness". Like people aren't already aware, lol.
