- It's been three years since Greta Thunberg first sat alone outside the Swedish Parliament to call for action on climate change. Now the young activist has become a global voice, continuing to hold world leaders to account on global warming. Six months after President Biden took office, is he doing enough? “This administration is not ready to act as seriously as we need, unfortunately,” Greta Thunberg tells NBC’s Mehdi Hasan.

Greta Thunberg On Three Years Of Climate Protests
I love Greta Thunberg. I wish you the best
the right wing now believes that u are "evil"....wanting a better, cleaner environment is a bad thing I suppose
@@karlosanthony5976 no we are right we need more diesel petrol and coal its good for the enviroment
@@karlosanthony5976 There's a video of Greta not knowing how to answer an easy question. Go look for it. You'll find out she's just a dumb kid that the activists and politicians are using.
Great is a world leader and we must heed her advice. She is fearless and wants to save earth.
Love the sarcasm!!
Stop smoking the pot🤔
This girl. If only everyone in the world could hear. God bless you and God help us all, Greta.
She would own Trump in a debate. 🤣
I love how you live with Donald Trump everyday

How people have reacted to the covid crisis is probably as good a measure as any for what you can expect from them on the climate crisis.
you're too kind, but let me say it better: TRUMP SUPPORTERS are the problem.
@Amber Scholl Dinosaurs perished from an asteroid impact.
@Amber Scholl Your childish opinions will never be important.
You do know the global worming thing is man made right, and it's being done by people who want to control us.
But they relied on the swift, results-driven action of the private sector. Govt is incapable of "solving" anything. It's keystone cops all day long...instead of all the "climate accords" for 30 years resulting in Zero we should have been planning the migration of people, animals & plants. It's silly to think humans can stop climate change.
Greta is lucid on the situation. We're screwed.
What ?
I concur, our species is finished. Look at how we tackle the Covid-19 crisis. How much opposition there is among people to deal with a global health problem. They don't trust the science on the virus, so why would they trust it on climate change ?
@@MultiDarkElf Exactly.
The earth was once a tropical rainforest, it was once a barren desert, it was once a frozen landscape. Climate change regardless if it's man made or a product of nature is inevitable and natural. Instead of trying to stop the inevitable next phase of the earth the time of these activists would be better spent preparing for the new future.
@@MultiDarkElf
It's not that they don't "trust" the science, it's rather a very "inconvenient truth" as once you accept the scientific data, along comes the obligation to examine and to change one's very own behavior; that can be rather intimidating and ... shall we say extremely inconvenient 🤔?
Considering that our species is very prone to fall for the tragedy of the commons and the bystander effect, that inconvenient truth becomes even more inconvenient for the rest of us!
Thank you. Did you know it has stopped snowing in Greenland it's raining
Greenland will be Rock and plants in 7-10 yrs... maybe an icecap... somewhere... but small.
greenland has gained 400 gigatons of ice so far this year ; above the 30 year average gain . you can find this gov data info on polar portal .
@Amber Scholl says the troll who joined weeks ago
@@jeffgold3091 Reich-wing data is manipulated and broadcast by 6" tall Evilgelical Elves.
And in Australia we're getting really short and mild winters now, with very little rain, and very hot and long summers, compared to even ten years ago, so we have really severe water restrictions, like hand watering gardens only or sprinklers on allotted days for a half hour only...it's scary stuff.
Its a problem that so many grownups act like children. "The dog ate my climate legislation! "
Another problem is so many children drop out of school and have no idea what they are talking about. Science can prove that climate is driven by solar, geological and astronomical events. That is proven science. Rely on real science and not political science.
@@t.r.campbell6585 Wrong again. You just proved that you have no idea what you are talking about. We already knew that though as the ONLY reason you are peddling your BS is for politoical reasons. You loser trolls are all the same.
@@t.r.campbell6585 Well actually, speaking as a scientist, you're wrong. There are numerous factors involved in climate change and one of those factors... one of the biggest factors... is the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Sometimes, those greenhouse gases can be produced by natural events, such as volcanic eruptions and methane production by bacteria. In our case, those greenhouse gases are being produced almost entirely by human activity and fossil fuels. I would suggest that you stop cherry-picking your "science" and start paying more attention to ALL of the facts... not just the ones you like.
@@Tessmage_Tessera water vapor is the greenhouse gas that keeps earths temperature from being too cold for life . even GW theory depends on co2 creating more atmospheric water vapor in order to raise temps to a problematic level .

Leaders need to start leading & stop worrying about big oil.
The national oil (energy) companies of France and Italy are working to reduce their fossil fuels business. The American and British oil companies have a mixed record on climate change responsibility. The big money funding climate change denying propaganda and politicians is from oil exporting countries who have no exports other than oil.
Russia must sell oil or they cannot support their military. OPEC countries must sell oil to maintain their patronage systems. There’s the problem.
Can you imagine what would happen if democratically elected leaders began implementing the necessary restrictions? The biggest culprits for emissions are cars and trucks, agriculture especially meat and ESPECIALLY beef, and the airline industry.
So how long do you think these elected leaders would stay in power once they start putting restrictions on car travel, meat/beef consumption and air travel. They would immediately be voted out and "leaders" (followers really) who promised NOT to make those type of restrictions would be voted in. We are ALL addicted to big oil, their power derives from all layers and strata of society, the whole society runs on oil. We need to change this, if we want to avoid catastrophe, but i feel like democratic governments aren't very well equipped for this challenge...
Voters will never vote for a reduction of their convenience and comfort and quality of life, even if they say they want to do something about climate change. Big Oil is powerful not because everyone supports what they are doing, but because, even though we all hate what they are doing, we cannot quit our addiction to oil.
@@hughconings26 You have accurately described the political and social stumbling blocks preventing adaptation. The technical challenges are daunting so adaptation will be difficult even with consensus. We cannot wait for environmental disaster to bring environmental problems into focus. We must act. Now!
Democracies are not well organized to confront climate change, but neither is any other form of government. The ancient Greeks thought a philosopher-king was the best form of government, but they were wrong.
If you want less of something: tax it. A Yale economist speaking before UBS said fossil fuel prices must quadruple to reduce demand to limit warming to +2degC level. I do not know when this will happen, but I recommend positioning oneself accordingly. You may be thinking if we implement such a policy, the economy will crash and the yahoos will soon be up in arms. This is bad but the alternative is intolerable.
Our dependency on fossil fuels has been clear to all since the 1973 oil embargo. That was also the year Soylent Green was playing in theaters. That movie was about climate change and ecocide, not overpopulation.
There is nothing to be gained by pointing fingers and blaming others. The yahoos are quick to point fingers and blame others. We must act. Now!
I am never finished writing so this is a good place to stop.
“I don’t want you to hope for the future.
I want you to panic.”
- Greta Thunberg 2019
In 2021 there are still way too many people in charge telling lies just so they can go back to sleep.
Actually its people telling lies just so the consumers will continue to buy and consume, and its politicians telling lies because they don't want to loose their corporate donors including big oil, big plastic, big ag, big cattle, big religion, and big war profiteering.
Except that humans can't "change" or stop climate. It's a massive, global machine that operates with or without humans and always has. Instead, we should be planning & organizing to help people, animals & plants migrate, which they already are, but in chaos. But we already know how govt operates when it comes to planning & organizing - Afghan evacuation...or even resolving homelessness.
Uhh. Does anyone ever maybe once consider that the Earth has gone through naturally changing climate temperatures hundreds of times way before we were even here. Or is that just a thing that happened for some reason and shouldnt even be explored ?

@Bruh um, too late to cool down for the next three generations of humans.
If we last that long.
We can’t even handle a pandemic.
If the house is on fire you don`t tell the fire brigade to come next month, you say come right now!!!
Right. Unfortunately, in the particular case of climate change, there is no fire brigade. We, the people, have to put out the fire ourselves. That's a bit difficult, as long as most of us don't see the fire at all, and many others, while fully aware of the fire, don't care enough to do something about it.
You actually do what you can to prevent a fire beforehand. Which the west coast has refused to do for decades. Then what happens....? Oh look I have very flammable trees within 15 feet of My house. Should I just let them be or remove them since I know there's a high fire danger already in place....we all know California would let them stay.
@@chinfuzzchet3616 Given the drought in all of the SW US over the last few years, you'd need to remove 90% of the woods to prevent fire this way. Everything is dry, not just a tree or two. That's because of one reason only: climate change. Less precipitations fall down in the Sierra Nevada, and, unlike in the past, they come down as rain instead of snow. This means less water which flushes down quickly, instead of being slowly released over the entire year by melting snow cover in the High Sierras. Of the states in the region, California has the most forests to burn. All other states in the region are mostly desert or high, bald, rocky mountains. Other than cutting down most of their forests, Californians don't have much they could do. That, however, would be a medicine worse than the disease.

"... warning that the window for action is closing, in some areas it's already closed..."
I absolutely hate when I hear people use this type of language.
No. The window for action isn't closing. There is no foreseeable point in time where we can say "Mission failed. There is no reason to take further action."
We'll miss goals, we'll suffer consequences. But continuing to not act will continue to make things worse.
I follow your thinking Jeffrey, but the downside with your idea is that people will not start taking action.
@@andrefasset3266 Honestly, I'd just like the wording to be a little more careful.
Replace "too late to act" with "if we don't act by date X, bad events Y will happen, and if we continue to not act, bad event Z will also happen." would be sufficient.
@@plentyofpaper I think her point is that we already broke things. The time of "maybe it will all be good in the end" is over.
For example, there are some small islands that need to evacuate during the next 5 years or so because the water rises, we can not change that, no matter what we do. To me, that changes the perspective.
There is a point of no return.
@@lilianfowler7988 I don't know how you're defining "point of no return."
But ultimately, what you are referring to is different from "the window for action is closed."
Short of human extinction, no matter how much damage we cause, there's still work to be done to preserve what remains, and reverse some of the damage for the areas that are not beyond repair.
Just in case you missed it: She roughly said that the new report is still watered down to not shock the public.
All the climate cult has are predictions that never happen.

1. California, for example, has forest fires every year since forever.....they even have a forest fire "season".
2. If they had NO more forest fires in California, would that mean climate change??

I'm like 3 times Thunberg's age, and all I do when I'm communicating via gaming desktop is hiding behind a computer screen and pretending to be someone ELSE. I don't know how many people finally understood what Thunberg was talking about when temperatures hit 120 in Canada, this summer, but she's been right for 3 years. Course. Biden isn't Trump. He's not taking personal shots at Thunberg. At some point, she might be able to just admit that the main problem is this reality of 'parents,' and how 'parents' have been failing at every aspect of life, for centuries, and yet pretending they're on the ball and losing face to the young'uns. I mean. You have grown men and women writing pretentious comments to show they're 'that' much more intelligent than an 18 year old Swedish kid with autism, who speaks better English than they do. I would like to see if winning the Peace Prize changes her in any way.
He’s not a teenager anymore, he’s a young man
One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named The Angry Beaver woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks. “What’s this?” she asked.
“Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother.
“What happened to the carpet?” she asked.
“The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.
The Angry Beaver smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles.
“Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.”
“Where’s the water?” asked The Angry Beaver
“Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, ‘Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it”
“Why’s there no running water?” The Angry Beaver asked, becoming a little peevish.
“Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?” There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Sweden’s energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . .
“What’s for breakfast?” interjected The Angry Beaver whose head was hurting.
"Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied her godmother. “Raw.”
“How so, raw?” inquired The Angry Beaver.
“Well, . . .” And once again, Greta was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Sweden anymore.
“But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented The Angry Beaver.
“Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.”
“What?!” interjected The Angry Beaver.. “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.”
“Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not any easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Swedish fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing - being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.”
This represents only a fraction of The Angry Beavers’s day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fibre boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet.
Tune in tomorrow when The Angry Beaver needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.
I love her like a dear, sage granddaughter (I'm 69). Getting off the grid is not difficult or expensive. I've done it and retrofitted a dozen houses for clean alternative power and water heating. I can do with $3,000 what the Pentagon does for $50,000, in that regard.
Her childhood is stolen !!!!
Absolutely! My family & I have been living totally off-grid for 9 years now. Not only was it not that expensive or difficult, it changes your perspective on everything. When you're making your own finite energy, you think about usage & priorities in a whole different light.
But we already know, after 30 yrs of "climate accords" (results? zero) that people will not do that. They barely recycle.
Money talks profits walk . the future was lost yesterday ... wo/mans greed for his own self " Need " is / was always the problem ,
Three years of bullshitting...
I the span of 2 years we went from having 30 years to having 20. So looking around you at people who won’t get vaccinated… how much time do we really have to pull this together? She’s more optimistic than I.
I have seen about 10 different tipping points. At the end of each tipping point of the world was supposed to have collapsed. It didn’t happen. People understand now that climate is driven by solar, geological and astronomical events. We now see the benefits in this light natural uptick in CO2 because of the record crop production we have seen last year and likely this year also. So far all we have seen is good.
@@t.r.campbell6585, you're staggeringly myopic.

It's so stupid to think that because some people got a timeline wrong, that there isn't a problem. So stupid.

After 30 years of "climate accords" that are all talk, no results bureau-speak, we see the reality. Climate is not going to be changed by insignificant humans.

More like 600 years.
I hope Mr. Hasan asks Ms.Thunberg to go into detail about what precisely she calls " a much larger structural issue" that is to blame. I am curious about how she would define and map that structure out from her perspective.
the structure is capitalism and the intertwining of the oil industry with so many other industries, many of which improve the quality of life of citizens. Citizens in democratic countries vote for governments, they will not vote for a government that reduces their quality of life by reducing oil consumption. The 100 oil companies could disappear, but 100 new oil companies would take their place, because our entire society's vast demand for oil would still exist... the structural issue is essentially supply and demand. We need to tackle both the supply side, and the demand side to have any chance here.
@@hughconings26 Wrong. Try again.

Hi Greta your beautiful and smart. That's why the powers that be are scared of you.
It probably still irks Trump that he lost Time Magazine Person of the Year to her. He never lets anything go. It just eats away at him that anyone, especially a female, has been placed above him. His tweet of "Chill, Greta,, chill" speaks volumes of his pettiness and inability to take these "losses" with any degree of dignity. Anyone else would have congratulated her on bringing this very real threat to the broader public. It is a sobering thought that a girl not out of her teens is more mature than a "man" in his 70's. To quote Trump: Sad!!!
A sizable portion of the population needs to have their high school diplomas cancelled and be forced to take and pass an ecology course.
Are you referring to the fact that the sun is the largest single factor in the climate or that so many people believe in the anthropological induced climate change conspiracy theory?

Sweden has Greta and America has Marjorie Taliban Green, listen to the difference in how she speaks (Greta), and that horse in D.C. speaks, I wish we could trade MTG for Greta but that be a literal crime.
Politicians just want to be elected. period full stop. They are not the leaders we wish they were, ever.
Making the hard choice, the unpopular choice, the action needed now to avert a problem that may not be 'severe' for years even decades seems like a poor choice for a politician that is only interested in the next four years. Akin to political suicide.
Meanwhile, to expect the public to accept a sudden change from the status quo - which would be required to move quickly from fossil fuels to carbon neutral - is also nearly impossible, change is uncertain & stressful, and much of the public are not prepared to accept the stress and uncertainty of rapid change. This is in their minds when they go out to vote. And the delays to the changes we all know are needed, continue to be delayed. In may OECD nations, the majority of voters are nearing their golden years, and they imagine the consequences of climate change as occurring long after they will be gone, but the stability these voters desire are right now, while they face their final 10-20 years of life. so how do they vote, what is the ultimate decision of those people.

@@a0flj0 It is not true that we live in an ecosystem independent of Nature . The Megalopolis that covers the whole globe sucks all if its energy and resources from Nature. It is a One Way process. It has now reached it limit. I am still optimistic that there exist humans that are capable of cooperation and community. Now is the time that they be must find one another and start building earthships that will survive the Apocalypse I Get a move on and build with your friends! Get out of the city. North America is still a continent!
@@stephenhall11 You are absolutely right, we _can not_ exist independently of all other life on earth. What I meant is that at the individual level the vast majority of the population has little to no contact with anything that's not man made, from food to dwellings to roads. There definitely still exist humans capable of cooperation and of keeping up a community. I'm just not sure there's enough of them to make a difference.
@@piotrtrebisz6602 I don't get your point. Technology never was an issue and isn't one now. It's not because we can't that we don't do anything, it's because we're lazy and entrenched in bad consumerism habits.
Wealthy peoples *Greed* is killing our Planet!

I have watched since the early 1980's. The world knew then. All the butterfly and bees are disappearing .Birds in our area. It has happened . No one where I am seems to care. They are making it so much worse as if Daring Mother Nature to revolt. Mother Nature is doing just that. Heat waves are horrible.
Yes, Greta. The old Moneybag Billionaires do not care - they will be past it, and “Let the kids deal with the problem!”
😢
We talked about this since i was about 25 years, so that is soon 40 years. Still we have not done anything about it just made it worse.
We are actually at 2C when using the correct number since 1750 (which is generally understood to be the beginning of the industrial revolution.
50 Years ago as freshmen in college, we were already forming a consensus as to where our continuing use of fossil fuels would take us. We're now seeing the results that we once thought were way off in the future.
Greta is a Shero and you know it. Don't be a scared denier of facts.

"Of course, this is not up to individuals to change; of course, we cannot blame individuals who don't want to stop flying ..."
I respectfully disagree with Greta here: if the demand stopped for flights and cruises, companies would have to shut down their operations; the same for cars, trucks, our energy consumption, food, etc. pp. Politicians are answering to people's demands and as long as the demand for operations requiring fossil fuels are high enough nothing will change!
Yes, there are those companies or big players who are at the top of holding the responsibility, but again, they would not be there if us, the individual consumers, allowed them to be there with our demands to begin with! If we change our demands and lifestyles, producers and politicians will have to follow suite!
If everything tied to fossil fuels shuts down, I'd say at least 20 million or more people in the US will be out of work. Too high a price to pay over something that I believe is natural and not cause by humans as the alarmists are claiming.
@@muffs55mercury61
There are believes and then there is scientific evidence ...!
You can believe whatever you want but the data says otherwise. Any which way, it's going to hurt us one way or the other! That being said, we can mitigate how much we are going to get hurt!
@@andreamortimer2610 I appreciate your opinions Andrea and won't criticize (I even gave you a thumbs up) but we rely on mainstream media for so called data & I take it with a grain of salt. Mainstream media is on a non stop guilt tripping crusade blaming us for all the fires, floods, heatwaves, etc and it gets old.
@@andreamortimer2610 what data show us the data can you do that.
@@muffs55mercury61
I understand your skepticism concerning scientific information coming from the media but one can easily obtain information/data directly from research centers such as NASA, the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers, French National Centre for Scientific Research, the Department of Earth Sciences with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, the National Center of Atmospheric Research, the Institute of Atmospheric Physics and the Institute of Earth Environment in Xi'an, NOAA, the American Meteorological Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters,
the Halley Research Station, Kola Science Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, etc. etc.
Why is it that all the people screaming about excess carbon don't pursue the most obvious and easy to implement solution ...stop cutting down swaths of rainforests and forests and plant trees . Stop encouraging people to move to cities . Subsidize people to move out to the countryside and plant food organically in a permaculture fashion not a mono cropping toxic farming wasteland fashion.
Yes to all that except the subsidizing part.
@@chris135x yes ..I said that too fast lol .. subsidizing is never a great idea for sure .. I'm just thinking ...let's do everything possible to get people back to the land
Very good discussion on a very important topic - probably the most important topic. As a civil/hydraulic engineer with about 50 years experience, much in flood protection, I and other engineers have been actively aware of the problems posed by climate change for many decades and we have incorporated this factor into our designs to the extent possible. As I see it the real challenges are not technical or even economical but political (vested interests).
NEWS FLASH ------- problem solved
Today the Taliban said they would FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!!!

Greta ☀️ So grateful for your efforts and guidance young love 🌎 you have opened eyes around the planet, and we hear you, there are many more to reach. Many, many of your fellow human beings embrace the bold, and essential integrity your generation exudes. We are on 100% board with the courageous process you have started, its about educating the humane race how to be accountable. Haha enrolling the selfish attitude for saving the planet for each’s individual motivations it a big opportunity. It’s a WE thing.❤️
Your ongoing bravery is an inspiration for so many, and not only in the realm of climate change 🌈 👑
Even for souls in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 as you know, we have a lot of work to undo here.
The Polar Bears and the Penguins ... put them in a desert somewhere ... they'll do fine ...
Humans will tend not to listen unless they suffer and when it will likely be too late. The consequence is that there is no mercy in nature.
Clear thinking humans get tired of listening to bullsh&t, junk science predictions that never happen.
@@jennifersmith4864 it’s already happening ice caps melting the floods that are happening all over the world the increase of natural disasters it stopped snowing in Greenland, the amount of pollution and smog in the air the wars how hard is it to see we’re causing our own extinction and you don’t care
@@weirdoodee1216
Oh BULLSH&T.
The Vikings were farming Greenland 500 years ago.....around the same time the Dutch bought Manhattan from the indians....it wasn't under water.
What increase in natural disasters? if they're "natural"??
What floods?
The climate is causing wars??? have you lost yer mind??
Pollution & smog have nothing to do with global warming.
Extinction? we have more people on the planet than ever!!! You climate nuts are always whining about over population.
IT'S ALL BULLSH&T.
wise up.
@@jennifersmith4864 you’re part of the reason we’ll all be dead one day you don’t see it now you can make fun of us all you want but soon we’ll be the ones laughing
Finally she is starting to think in the right direction. Capitalism is the problem and the main existential threat for humanity
Capitalism? WRONG!
Man this young woman is an inspiration and politicians must wake up to the fact the clock is ticking and the bill to fix it grows every day we dont address it!
Plot twist: humans can't change let alone stop climate. It's on its own machinery & always has. What humans could do however, is help people, animals & plants migrate which they're doing on their own, but much more chaotic. Although govt seems to feel that's the best way to operate.
@@carolmiller5713 that isn’t what actual scientists are telling us. Thank you for you uninformed opinion though.
@@systemspm8055 You get back down your rabbit hole and with your 3% of hack so called scientists. You must live in a warp reality you sad sad individual. If you ever make it back to the real world, great, if not do society a fav and stay in Trump world!
I wish I had Gretta's humility. Does it come from her innate intolerance for dishonesty, her keen and prophetic eyes? Her candor makes it easy to believe in her cause and adopt it as my cause. I underscore my intent with action. I weigh each decision with an eye toward moving closer to a sustainable planet. Today, the 18 year old Gretta's pessimistic expectations of Biden's administration and the 2020-2022 congress of the USA is lower than mine.
I haven't given up on the ol Sage. He perspective on blame, while it's higher on the "Horrible Hundred" corporations is "It's more of a structural issue." That gives everyone a pass in away, except the collective. The big WE has to revamp and restructure for a sustainable planet. In history, what has ever united the whole planet toward a single, goal that requires 90% compliance? I cannot go to sleep with this question some nights. Only with a personal plan of action followed by actually implementing it with a set of behaviors daily seems to allow slumber, however short lived.
The closest I've seen a successful recent campaign actually came out of a Manhattan Add Agency. "I'd like to buy the world a Coke..." Where can I buy the World a new consciousness? One more like Gretta's. Gretta credits hers honesty to Asperger's syndrome. My favorite doctor believes there's a direct line from environmental poisons to Gretta's syndrome. Is the problem bundled with the solution?
Solutions: There's evidence to suggest we live in a self-correcting universe. Is this a system, like the laws of Nature and physics? If you say yes, will there be any Humans left afterward? Gretta is an Icon now. Laws of health and chemistry manifested her. Three years after she left school for politics, she's still relevant and we're still here. Can and will she become a leader with enough power to pull the levers that sustain Humans? You heard her. She has no expectation that our leaders will pull the right switches if their power today is threatened. With the future is at stake, I vote Gretta the world's Climate Czar if Democracy survives the power junkies like Trump, one of the many antichrists. I'm tired. Good night.
Greta has done more for this planet and people than anyone...she's so brave.
That's right. In a few weeks when Greta's handlers tell you (via your politicians) that climate lockdowns are the "only way to save the planet", you better obey...or else.
🤣
I remember when tRump mocked her and told her to chill out and go see a movie with friends. This is what I have to say - My goodness donald j trump, you are so fascist to the bone ! You really needs to work on your anger management problem. I suggest that you take a break from being impeached twice not to mention attempting a coup at the Capital and go to a good old-fashioned movie with your good friends Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Marcos, Suharto, Milosevic, Duvalier, Estrada, Nero, Jong-un, best Friend-Putin and the rest of your role model Facebook friends. Chill donald ! Chill ! And don't worry donald, SDNY, writers and historians will see that you get on the cover of Time magazine after you are crowned as the worst president ever. Everyone knows that you are jealous of the respect that Greta commands and that you command none.
I don't like to have a little girl with no wisdom, tell my grandchildren what they should and should not do. She is still a baby and terribly indoctrinated. Indoctrinating more fear into humans.
@@ScireMi TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP 🤣 Trump won! Joe Cheated!
The best thing we can do to help global warming, among other things, is to not have kids. If the human population drops over time, energy and resource consumption will drop as well.
Awesome young Lady! Thank you for trying! Ignore the smelly trolls! Stay safe!
Go talk to China?
Fantastic girl.

The solution resides in taking action( changing our ways) History of humanity seem to change or adapt only when it confront to the inevitable
Stop listing to Al gore.
We know people don’t live forever, so which would be the most important thing people should be concerned about: Climate Change, which changes daily by the way or where they are going to spend eternity after they die which happens everyday too.

Keep it up

A global meme more like it
Why doesn't this child, always reading somebody else's words, take herself and her activist followers over to Brazil where they are destroying the Amazon rainforest at an alarming rate. Is it not possible that it is this daily destruction of the planets natural absorption of CO2 that is the major culprit to the situation? It would certainly be better than bringing traffic to a standstill on motorways and in cities, which irionically, is increasing the CO2 levels? That said, is this movement part of the solution, or part of the problem? Also, a bit of advise, if you want peoples support, then don't anger them with your methods. You are more likely getting them to resent you rather than support you. Parading about like hooligans is not a good front end for delivering a serious message with the aim of getting people to listen.
