The children in 1992 become adults sitting in this conference room in 2020 and are listening to a girl critizing them just like 28 years ago.
So this is greta before the software update?
The new one has even more bugs
More like downgrade
CJ Exactly. 😂😂😂
Lol
downgrade
anyone else watching this in 2019.... under water?
lol. i gots my scuba gear. good one.
Haha right....according to their "science" we would have been underwater in 2001 lol.
HOW DARE YOU!
DJ1337JK,
Me!!!!!!
LOL greta also does the same stupidity.
In 1992, this epically inspiring speech resonated with my frustrated 15-year-old self and so many of us. As it seemingly reverberated around the world, it offered us some glimmer of hope that the adults in charge might finally listen to reason and give the next generation the chance to change and do better.
Yet in 30 years, our immense technological progress mostly seems to distract us from the repeated utter failings on a global scale.
It’s funny how that’s what you got from it. How about the same old routine of using kids to fire up the youth on global issues that aren’t real. Holes in the ozone? Where did that go? Now we have Greta doing the same thing over global warming. Again, a made up narrative that will disappear in a couple decades when we aren’t under water. They are shameless and people make money off of this. Just ask Al Gore.
rinse and repeat boys, rinse and repeat
Nothing new under the sun.
lol. even some of the talking points are practically verbatim.
HOW DARE YOU
It would probably stop if the rich and powerful started to actually care.
The UN are the rich and powerful.
Hi I am Leonela I am from Timor-Leste the smallest country in the world. I love listen to this speech many times and it makes me cry because we don't know when will we stop doing this to help our world for a better life. thank you.
Don't cry. Leonela. It's not true. Our world is ok. Don't believe their lies
If this was filmed yesterday, thanks to social media, this girl would be famous
I wish there was a news outlet that would interview her circa 2019 to see if she made it.
Atta Boy - Lol they have made one a side by side one with Greta’s speech , she is now 39 and still alive ahhh
They did show her around 2019, still on the green payroll.
@@platovaya and since the green is trying to save the world from corporate/government destruction, I have NO issue with that. I heard her being interviewed on BBC radio today and she didn't sound like she was that active anymore, but she cheered on Greta for doing her best to get actual change done.
You watch her interview on 17/062022 on BBC if you live in U.K..
Oh wow hi Greta
Not funny

Her father wrote this entire speech for her. She was used.
She’s a climate activist now. Look her up.
@@bendy7953 she gets paid to make speeches because her dad worked for the UN
the words you said here has really impacted me and i just know it has changed a lot of peoples perspective on climate change, its sad to know that 28 years later, we are still facing the same problem. lets be together and work harder for mother earth!
Are we still facing the same problem? If the end of the world didn't happen 28 years ago, then it's not going to happen in 9 years.
@@jacquilayton2557 not in 9 years, but what about 109 years?
@@poshli-poehali3813 Won't happen then either. Watch what people do not what they say. And if one watches what the rich do while preaching to the rest of us about the climate cult then it becomes obvious what it's really all about. control.

"HOW DARE YOU?"
my god stop this
2022, nothing has changed for the better. 🎉
Just a nice speech, honest, no comedy or simulated tears like we saw recently..... Unfortunately, 21years later, the same speech is repeated and no improvement will be done, I bet my shirt....
to be done something about it, Everyone has to see it.
To be part of the problem the first time around and evidently the second time around too. How ironic you demand change while being incapable of such.
LOL. She's just saying what her parents coached her to say. All the world's a stage, and you're just being entertained.
I was brought here by the short animated film “Only a Child” and this speech moves me in a way no other speech has
Speech given by a 13 year old at UN, 14 June 1992.... Almost 3 decades have passed by and non of the UN Representatives listed to the Warning of Global warming, cause their greed 💰🪙 caused them to turn a blind eye 🥺😢
because the proof is in the pudding .. .life excels with more carbon and warmer climate which is in the face of this and absolutely hilarious
They've been beating that drum since the 1960's.
Lets use kids as human shields so people that point out their lies are seen as bullies.
How about all the lies they teach you at school.... To turn you into obedient consumers/wives/employees/soldiers?
Did it ever occur to you that maybe the reason kids and teens are mainly the ones that are calling for change is because nobody else cares because it’s not their future that will be affected?
@@rhubarbbikini3794 No...they are puppets being used by adults and brainwashed in Schools.

over 30 years later and nothing has changed
before Ted talk there was this speech by her that lighted a fire inside me as a school student back in the day. it influenced me to do the same, make little ripples of change 🙏❤
Nobody:
The UN: The brunette didn't work, let's try with a blonde with asperger's.

You morons actually think that the UN is behind this?
This time, with greta Thunberg,
Yes, David Suzuki's daughter was right. The rain forests are now gone, along with all the animals. I could have sworn ozone depletion was halted in the '80s, but apparently we're all nearly dead from UV radiation. In 1992 this little girl was afraid to go fishing, afraid to go in the sun, and even afraid to breathe the air. FOR REAL. She was totally afraid of all that and still is because everything's worse now. Remember salmon? Remember trees? Hopefully she's passed this ostensible paranoia on to her kids.
So according to you rising pollution and heavily polluting water bodies with chemicals and garbage is normal?
So rising pollution and heavily polluting water bodies with chemicals and garbage is acceptable?
@@thewanderboyjitinraj9010 It is where you're from *RAJ*
@@thewanderboyjitinraj9010 No one is arguing that there isn't any pollution or environmental damage -- but the failed climate doomsday prophesies have been an ongoing political propaganda tool for decades now.
The world is not ending but if it makes you feel less frightened to vote for a big daddy government and pay more taxes to curb your consumerism guilt, go for it!

Could it be done better in order to increase engagement from the audience?
26 years later and they still have not listened to us
correct
The first Greta
then there was al gore......hahahahaha
There was a boy in the '80s who gave the exact same "How Dare You" speech as Greta. I just can't remember the name or date or I'd give you a link.
Nope, Not the first Greta...

Das war vor knapp 30 Jahren und es hat sich kaum etwas geändert.
2022 it's 30 years back then and people still doesn't wake up.
How many trees she planted for last 27 years since this speech? How many years did she actually worked on the real job?
- ZERO or so, right? ... such a prominent example of sustainable living, right?
FirstName LastName Did you do some research for that?
@@shannonmoore4201 , I did some quick research and found nothing to confirm that she planted a single tree and she actually worked on the real job.
For many years she is living on an island and all goods are delivered there mostly by planes and ships. So much about sustainable living while those planes and ships are polluting atmosphere.

@@WingCommanderAE24, if you are rude, then you will have to wait a long time for me to answer your question. Have a nice day!
This wasn't heard then, and too little has changed in the intervening years ; those that should have listened then had their ears so far up the backsides of Corporate Profiteers that it didn't matter who might have been talking. Children are told they " are the future " and yet , when they try to responsibly speak what's on their hearts and minds they are told they " don't understand" . Greta's Message isn't plagiarism , it's the Loop of Warning that those with the ability to make change happen, refuse to hear now, as back then. God Help Us.
Hey, nutcase. NOTHING SHE CLAIMED WAS GOING TO HAPPEN DID. we are all still here, the world did not end, the forests did not disappear, the fish are still in the ocean.
All these years later and the, "Sky is falling," crowd still hasn't got it right.

It's quite distressing finding so much ignorance flirting with arrogance in most comments. Do people ever say "I don't know, maybe, why not"....?
@@stephenbryant5251 I don’t understand people who don’t believe in climate change. It’s a real thing and the fact that you’re denying it really highlights how privileged you are to not have to live in awful circumstances because of climate change
At least she didn’t scream like Greta
how dare you!
She “screamed”? LOL
Well Greta is more emotional because it’s actually serious
Oh yes because the death of 200 species a day matters until an autistic girl gets emotional about it.

And now, 28 years later nothing changed.
This used to be posted as a YT video (now taken down) a decade or more ago, called something along the lines of "the greatest speech ever", and I remember it clearly because I keep going back to it since it was a really compelling speech.
Fast forward 2023, I search 'greatest speech ever' but I find out the old video was gone and my search is filled with videos of other supposedly 'great' speeches - one of the channels that claims to post the greatest speech is a channel called 'Alpha Male'. I can't help but feel that since a decade ago, there has been a radical shift to the right and the 'idea' that the Overton window is what it is now with people talking more openly with their conservative points with no willingness to hear the other side as being apart of this radical shift. The same could be claimed of the radical left. But although this is true it can't be said it's because of the views themselves.
The way apps are being built, with their filters and the algorithms behind these social platforms with their 'experts' who strategise how to pull the viewer more into a streamline view (of like-like posts) - it could be blamed for undermining a free flow discussion where you have multiple perspectives who are able to share. However because of the filters they put into pockets groups of people with like minded views and opinions. But being aware of this, one should have a moral obligation to hear out the other views with a stance of initial non-judgement until it's clear that it's either extreme, diagonal, false, genuine, funny, sad, happy. The real problem is that we are so readily open to judge the other and would only hold onto those views most like our own... Or who's interests align with ours we forget what being egalitarian really means. Not to mention the trolls who intentionally create dissenting opinions out of bad faith. Which the social platforms supposedly support, but forget that the nature of social network is to develop bubbles not a pool.
"(We) should act as one single world, toward one single goal". O Rly? That about sums up the speech in a few words.
JimMacabre - A sick cult, blind fools working for Agenda 30 🤢
So do you think the US alone can fix this? China alone? Russia? EU? India? Who can address global warming, deforestation, rampant pollution, waste disposal issues, water scarcity issues, etc. on their own? Protecting the global environment is a goal the whole world needs to focus on. Otherwise, it's just dominos as different ecosystems collapse.

Hello
We are an environmental movement organization composed of Yongin Elementary School teachers in South Korea.
We want to educate children about the seriousness of the climate and environmental problems.
Can we use some of your videos to make educational contents? (It will be 3 or 4 seconds)
It's only for classes in school, not for commercial use.
We are looking forward to your reply. Thanks.

Did she actually write this speech by herself? if so good job. How was she herself able to get an audience with this huge organization raise money to go there and spend at least a few days in Rio? It wasn't just her it's someone with an agenda much like Greta Thunberg today.

We and the planet opposite I would have seen it earlier, she would probably have become my role model and not Michael Jorden. Thank you dear Severn Susuki you are a true role model. And to all those who long for it wake up and do not think only of you. Everyone can make their contribution and prevent the unscrupulous can continue so the girl has something of right in what she says. I've never been as impressed by a person as I have been. And I am now 38 years old and have already known many people and heard many talk. I hope Severn Susuki is doing well in 2020

Greta looks a little more different in this speech, at least the speech writers are the same, and yet, the world has not exploded.
Global warming isn’t going to make the world explode. What it will do is cause sea levels to rise so much that most countries will be underwater and humanity as we know it will never be the same. We’ll all just have to move to the moon 💀
