30 Years before Greta Thunberg: The girl that moved the UN | DW News

- čas přidán 27. 09. 2019
- Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg began her push for action on climate change in August 2018. Since then her lone voice has inspired the roar of millions. Greta's impassioned speech at the UN made headlines around the world, but it wasn't the first time a very young person stood in front of international leaders and pled for action on an impending environmental catastrophe. In 1992, Severn Cullis-Suzuki, then just twelve years old, gave a speech at the UN with the same sense of urgency as Greta's speech in 2019. So what is Severn up to now?

#GretaThunberg #ClimateChange #UnitedNations
In 1992, Severn Suzuki's speech at the UN Earth Summit inspired world leaders to work together to fix the hole in the ozone layer. Do you think Greta's speech can do the same for climate change?
DW News probably not
Never was a " hole" just natural stratification in upper atmosphere.
Just proves that every 20 or so years there will be another poster child leading another crafty hoax made up by the political elites.

no, I dont
I was wondering when someone was going to make this comparison.
Sorry, no runner up prize I'm afraid!
You might find solace in knowing that Greta will ultimately follow the same path into obscurity as Sven, seven... something something suzuki did.

@@bindiusukhbayar5924 I was being ironic, captain obvious 🙄
Plagiarized
And yet 35 years later we are still here 🤷
How dare you!
@@josephellis5165 BAM!!
Womp womp
Yes because we got rid of all the CFCs in the aerosol cans and refrigerant in no small part because of all the chatter of activism like this. The hole the ozone now is much smaller and is no longer a concern, it shrunk.
All talk, no actions.
Now, 30+ years later nothing has happened. Well, imagine my shock.
Rights
economy and population has to grow, otherwise rich people couldn't get much richer.
Do you mean why we are not TAXED yet by bankers? They are not here to solve environmental problems caused by big businesses, but to TAX us more.
The war-profiteers told us, "We must fight commies there, because as Vietnam goes, so does rest of the Asia (to commies)". All that happened was that defense contractors made billions from wars. Now the bankers are using environment to extract money.
I dont know why people dont understand ideological subversion....

@Nadia Victoria exactly
It’s like Pennywise coming back every 27 years or so
It and it2 came out soo
Never mind didn't read it right
Do you prefer the word to die doe 😶
The irony is that it’s Severens generation that’d did nothing to change.
Mr Vampire and the irony of your comment is neither are you other than making comments m? 😂😂
lmao
my city is cleaner since then and people can eat the fish from the lake now because its not polluted anymore.
the irony is that nothin happened despite doing nothing.
Imagine blaming a generation of ppl instead of the so called Elites...
2:35 my man trump walking like a true mobster 👨🏼💼🇺🇸
Trumppppppppppp 2020
similarity about severn & greta is they both read from notes LOL
The difference is the metal memes are awesome
Per usual, plenty of conjecture and no facts.
30 years from now there will be another alarmist sounding the same nonsense and the weather will still be the same.
Yup, That is their default setting...
This is why parents have to teach their children to use critical thinking skills at home...
Because public schools only teach our children to regurgitate per-programmed information.
And pay attention to the programming they watch on tv and social media....
Because it is called " PROGRAMMING" for a reason...
Mick Thomas oh hun. Look at any comparison and you can see that the climate today has changed much since 30 years back. If the weather is the same in 30 years as today, that means we’ve stepped forward and that we all did something about it. Stop being so blind for the reality. That’s what parents should teach you, to not be that naive that you can’t even see the real problems.
@@2003Malle i just don't believe in the global warming fairy, sorry.
why is that global warming in the right wing is labelled as a leftist hoax? it is like the fear of migration that is labelled as a cultural taboo and right wing "madness" here in Europe from leftists. in contrast both of these should be seen as equal concerns. one problem i see is that people live in bubbles and accept only those "realities", (cnn or fox news?), which their cultural and political sect propagates. but fundamentally all of these agendas are just political products, u should listen to scientists in questions like that. and not a selected few but what the majority agrees on.
@@2003Malle i remember the weather 30 years ago,... its about the same as it is now.
almost as good as the testimony from Nayirah al-Ṣabaḥ remember her
Is that the incubator story ? Classic NWO b.s.
They are so similar that it looks staged... wait, it is staged! 🤣😂
As above so below! As the year has seasons the universe has seasons so the human body has seasons! The climate is changing in our body's all the time we get older... it's the nature of nature's. If u can stop your self aging then you are the one to stop the universe doing its thing.. Ice age (winter) ice melts ( spring) what comes after spring? Derr...
@Nerdy Cat everything has its time and dies, other things come in its stead... only humans think they should be here for ever, have everything and still wine and complain instead of living the moment! This system was created so certain races could claim to be the more dominant of the pack, so it's funny how the same "dominant race" are the ones bitching about the mess "they created" deal with yourselves! Like you think you can supersede nature.... Ha.
Joe Conrad they have the same facts. These are facts. If you are denial so be it. If you don’t want to do a small part. So be it. You don’t to help so be it but don’t be a hinder
Someone pause on 02:31 and turn it into a meme please
“They’re afraid” haha... you must be kidding
greedy corporates and puppet politicians: "let's wait for another 30 years."
its not greed or puppets or any of that nonsense. the truth is people dont want to stop driving, flying and eating what they like. economic development in Asia is a very real and serious concern that impacts literately billions of lives.
@@kevkus it is possible to shift to renewable energy sources. I have seen so many scientists come up with renewable, environmentally friendly sources of fuel, and I wonder why the governments can't start funding those projects? There definitely will be a cost to pay in term of progress, but is that progress good for if the world becomes polluted beyond measure, and beyond human control?
@Gerald Miller and they are all becoming consumers. this is only the beginning. i think having many children is a survival technique that all animal use when survival is not certain. i imagine these patterns will change as they become more developed.
@@happysoul5031 yes we have been putting lots of money into research and developement and even directly into companies which didnt go well (when the goverment hands our large chunks of money people tend to take advantage of that). our economy is driven by the demands of the consumer. and for now with oil prices low most people would rather go with a system they know they can rely on. also renewables are not magic. they each have different pros and cons and environmental costs of their own.
Not impressed by these coached, impostor, deluder figure-heads promoted by elites' corporate media and politicians. These are puppets of those who want to impose carbon tax on all of us.
Carbon levels are definitely result of increased human activity, but why does a BANKER get to collect and keep the penalty TAX? WHY?
severn's suzuki speech was in alan walker's song
The warming of the planet is but a fraction of the warmest periods in the globe's history. The warmer periods were all highly vegetatively productive periods. Even now the planet is greening - go to nasa.gov to see their recent report - deserts are becoming tropical. CO2 is plant food.
Breaking news! The world is ending tomorrow...come back tomorrow for the next 30 years for an update.
My dad believed the world would end. I had no idea what to think about the future. Now im 30. This is junk science.
The funny thang about the young ones is how they grow up and think just like we do then it's another kid telling them the same ol thang like they told us
So these clowns come out every 27 year's?.
Sounds like Pennywise to me.
😂😂
Get ready to bundle up. Just like every peak in the past, there is a drop. Cold weather crop losses are already occurring. The grain growing regions around the world at record lows for production due to frost and floods.
Look up “death metal greta thunberg.”
You literally made my life! Why is this not EVERYWHERE?!
ss ss CZcams suppression most likely
Dude....that was my first YT video of the day today!!! I simply search "greta thunburg" and death metal greta was the first result!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Day, made!!!!
Nice video.
Thank you DW channel
So we have at least 30 years then? If the last twerp was so far off then this one should be too? Considering how wrong Gore was and how Obummer just bought coastal property, I think that means we got some wiggle room. 😂
The phony prophet Al gore
Follow the money, AL Gore still flys in his private jet
My goodness, does Severn Cullis-Suzuki thing she single-handedley is responsible for drawing attention to "fixing the ozone"?
How deluded can one get. Honestly! The scientists saw the data and were crapping themselves way before she was even born.
'Think'
that's because the public is weak for children...who knows who is really behind these doll babies. yall must not know or just forgot the world is a stage
It's a career Severn makes alot of money still doing this look it up
They thought they'd wait 30yrs to pull the same scam...
And Suzuki father make millions thanks to his daughter speech that Greta took the idea and the speech
Both of them were coached what to say
So true the job makes you forget about everything
You left out the bit where Severn said we only have ten years till "ocean collapse". Well that didn't happen did it.
The 2010 Eyjafjallajökull volcano eruption pumped the equivalent of thousands of years of man-made CO2 into the atmosphere in one month and had no long term effect.
Already looking forward to 2048
Inculcate. Greta word. Er, i mean, uh, Great word.
CO2 does not do what most people think it does...
I think most people don't have a clue.
But now days Suzuki she's enjoying fishing under the glorious days of the hot sun!...
I cant stop laughing .
jeffsupersaiyan let’s see how much your children and grandchildren laugh when they hear you forced them to give up on their dreams and lives before they even were born because you were too naive to see the climate change
@@2003Malle doubtful . I give my kids the tools to be successful it is on them to put them to use.
They both inspired world leaders, to fly jets to 2 different climate change summits. Now that’s making a positive difference.
Said no one ever.
modern world is complex and different. and people in Africa or in many Asian countries want to live at the same wealth level as in Sweden
explain why developing countries should continue living in poverty and not be like Sweden
Just like Putin said, The world is more complicated than greta thinks and everyone thinks.
How dare you to continue to believe in climate change?! Oh, how dare you?! 😜😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😁

If you don't know solutions, don't cry so hard for nothing!
the first was a "soft version"
the climate makes a lot of money to whom who think all about it !
I love her accent
I can tell who's worse
Funny has the world never ends, and the climate is basically the same forever...
@victor Johnson Ahh yeah, no, you are factually wrong. The climate has changed drastically since it formed billions of years ago - sometimes with catastrophic consequences.
If you think it is a good solution to back that ones, that got us there, than we are on a good way.
If you plan to take a walk from Hamburg to Munich, it is a first step to leave your house. But than follow 700km of hard work.
If you do your FfF, fine, but it is only a very small first step.
We have to pay co2 taxes and the FfF folks will guarantee, that this money will used for what it is payed? No, they cannot, cause they never touched that point.
This money will land in the casinos of wall street! It will change nothing.
China moved 1 billion people out of dire poverty in the past 30 years by "destroying the world' -- India is doing the same. Yes, economic development is important.
It would have been FAR easier if far less people needed/needs to be lifted out of abject poverty.
@@toady7741 lol welcome to Planet Earth.
China and India have just caught up with industrialization. These developments have more been a part of western nations since centuries, maybe they have more burden to bear in terms of reversing/preventing climate change. Since they have the funding capital to invest in renewable Science. This is not to say that China and India shouldn't take measures to control the effects of carbon emissions.
@@happysoul5031 that has generally been the thinking
@disciple duSeigneur Wood is carbon neutral.
Yeah young people in the early 90s felt the same way but their parents in the 60s and 70s started the green movement. All of this should have been looked into 50 years or more ago. I need to look up my notes, but there was a guy talking about the green revolution at the beginning of the 20th century!!
Good news is progress has been made and technology is there for a greener earth. but time may not be on humankind side. Let me emphasise, the earth will always be here and will recover. Humans may not be and its a pity we are taking species with us. Anyway I know a lot of people ( including myself) are doing their bit. Thats all we can do.
Its good the world is waking up fast. Subrata. x
So happy Millennium kids are saying enough is enough!! They have a more wider view of the world because of social media. Young people did not have social media in the early 90s but we were still clued on.
The youth have softer skulls so that their brains may be trained and manipulated!
Wow 50 k views... nice nothlings do reconize history lol great.
The same exact hairdo. Messy parted ponytail. Is that a coincidence?
Er,, Greta was insulting you!! For failing her!! 27 years ago she said that you did nothing!
David Stevens 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha. Nobody cares what Greta says or thinks.
Guess what
Suzuki still alive
and by her surroundings doing rather well
Missguided then
and appears to be
still misguided now
How dare you
Yep, we're still waiting for the doom and gloom to happen, 30 years on.
Kids aren't Moral authorities. Just, no.
thats true...she wont change anything...
Nkwame Roberts that's why we're in the situation we're in is Bc of people who should be the example looking to the young ones to be the example that's the problem kids trying to raise kids
Just another spoiled kid that was allowed to control their parents... and is trying the same drama out in public...
But the child eventually finds out....
That the world is not going to put up with your spoiled entitled arrogance....
Like mommy and daddy...
Her parents and handlers are just setting her up for a huge fame from grace....
I see therapist and counselors in her future.
Each 30 years a child of a privileged family, will have the opportunity to speak about environmental destruction and decay of human values. Great.
Exactly!
I know right...
They never give a child in a poor 3rd world country a chance at the 15 mins of fame...
Someone that could really use the money and help their family in real poverty.
Not some pampered child that grew up never knowing real struggle...
Go home and play with your barbies...
Man when she looses the spotlight... she is going to have a meltdown....
So, what is she doing now! is she still active for her ideals? if not she was nothing more than a poster child for the movement.
The problem of many young activists who are being brought up on the stage to be the symbol of green movement, is that they are mostly passionate but not having the endurance of remaining in the fight and they loose their resilience. maybe because they are not genuine enough,it is more like a mood but it goes away fast.
Well, said my friend!
And everyone thinks these kids are not ill!? Atleast the 1st child didnt threaten the world through paranoia and anxiety. Let kids be kids!
The world is already threatened! She is only warning and pleading the authorities to Act
yup
Christ forgave...
Big big bog business of billioners...
What angry Greta fails to understand is that the third word doesn't want to remain poor.😪
It's just a little bit of history repeating, unbelievable!!!! nothing has been done. Another example: in the 90's GM made the EV1 the first electric car did we use only electric cars since then? NO ;did we stop using oil? NO. See the problem here,we face this challenges a long long time ago, but we didn't do anything; just bla bla bla bla. We are done, we didn't learn our lessons
Funny thing the hole in the o-Zone layer didn’t get bigger. Same with Climate Change it was been discussed over 40 years and been rebranded to different things and the doomsday date kept getting pushed back. What has changed that people are more environmentally conscious, people actually recycle now a days and technology has advanced for a greener economy compare to the past. But most people seem to overlooked that. We have electric cars now, solar panels, wind power turbine, we even have composting for trash facilities.
Also if these Climate Change alarmist understand how the world works. Even if you forced all the first world to stop using fossils fuel it won’t change much. The climate will still change. Sadly these kind of people are actually the ones who fear change.
Even before human industrialization, climate change will happen if you like it or like. Mass extinction does happen even if all the humans don’t exist in this world. Instead of fearing for the end of the world why not adapt to the changes. Even animals adapt to the changes. All the so called mass extinction because of climate change also didn’t factor in interspecies breeding and evolution and adaption. There are also newer species of animals being discovered everyday.
Look back in history before fossil fuel before the industrial revolution. How many ice ages the earth dealt with? How many global droughts the earth dealt with? How many mass extinction the earth dealt with? We aren’t the first humanoids, other humanoids went extinct before us and this was before technology.
Also the earth was way hotter before humanity came into the picture. It was hotter in the past. I guess people don’t see that. Most just fear change that the earth is changing. Well the greatest thing about humanity is we learn to adapt and survive at least historically it said so. But people seems to fear the world and their changes.
You're missing the point. Of course the Earth's climate has been changing naturally, and it will continue to change naturally for the rest of its lifespan. I mean really, how can it not? But now, human activity is also changing the climate, and not for the better. What's telling is that natural warming and cooling periods occurred very, very gradually over thousands or even millions of years. Right now, the global climate is warming about 170 times faster than any previous natural warming period before humans came along.
Computerworks you also missed the point of how humanity has advanced over the years to be more environmentally conscious and choose to care about green technology and developing green technology that didn’t exist decades ago. The many developed countries technically has the cleanest air in the world. Just look at the global air pollution charts. Just look at how we live in a cleaner environment than when the industrial revolution happened in the first world.
The difference is now many developing countries are in there industrial revolution. That they are trying to develop there quality of life to meet the first world standards of life expectancy.
People now a days don’t died as young as they used to be. These children would actually have to grow up faster and work for a living to just survive.
Maybe the problem is over population since the most polluted countries are the ones that are overpopulated. When places are over populated they also has more consumers.
Think about that! How would you solve that. Would you forced majority of the developing world to go into poverty? Would you want them to have life expectancy.
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.
Children playing "dress-up" ... 1992 ... 27 years. And ... WE ... ARE ... NOT DEAD!

We just don't want to admit that we can't control that which controls us... NATURE! Peace and love to all living things including Greta and Donald. . X
Listen to the scientists. Exxon's very own scientists wouldn't have came to this conclusion if it wasn't true. Why would they want to hurt their own business?
They support and promote current renewable tech because it is extremely sporadic and inefficient (10-30%). They are helping to build it because it absolutely necessitates that we have fossil fuel back up - so they profit twice. Solar and Wind farms are also extremely damaging to local ecologies and cost consumers more. Any one who cares about realistic solutions is for current nuclear and developing fusion tech.

Greta might not have that feeling or a real emotion but her message is really influential. It is not easy for children to get invited to the UN HQ to spread the message to the world.
They wouldn't invite her if they hadn't raised her up to that position. They know who to "invite."
What about the Irish girl 80year before Greta made her speech
Suzuki’s humility in the wake of Greta’s fame speaks volumes to her character. What a righteous woman.
Oh, please! Read up on Suzuki's mother and father and the whole concocted profile and media-promotion as environmentalist ambassador. Are you that naiive that these both are for real?
