The guys emitting 99% of the pollution get a pass, the 1% however who actually try to actively mitigate environmental harm, the only countries where it's illegal to damage the environment, abuse animals, and where human rights are a thing; THEY are the enemy of course.
99% emission is from poor countries with less income. Food is more important than the climate crisis for them, which will make sense if you know what hunger is.

I don't get why people hate on China for their emissions that much. yes, they emit the most emissions out of any other country, but thye have an extremely large population, and in reality, their emissions per capita is very low compared to other developed countries.

"In order for people in developing countries to raise their living standards we in high income countries need to take a few steps back"......I give her credit for admitting her agenda unlike the rest of the left.
It is completely clear that you have not understood the climate mafia at all. To be clear: 1 billion dollars is spent on climate every day and worldwide, and that is considered about 100 times too little.

I am afraid, India has good intentions, that's why it is investing in clean renewable energy. But, good intentions don't get the job done, money gets the job done, which India is lacking. Without help, India won't be able to fulfill its promises, doesn't matter they try or not!

So she won’t call out China or Russia or India all who pollute more then usa as 90% of their coal plants don’t have scrubbers but she won’t say that… how can a girl without any real world knowledge be given this much of a platform?
True, just like Fauci she is ridiculed and harrassed instead of people engaging with her message, which doesn't take a climate scientist but rather a high school level of understanding to wrap your mind around.. But conservatives in the US would rather rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic than do something about the giant hole in the ship
Anyone that hears her speech in which she said she wanted people to panic and took it to mean that she literally wants people to run in circles with their hands in the air whilst screaming at the top of their lungs is an idiot. She was clearly speaking in hyperbole, using a metaphor as she put it, to underscore that the climate crisis is just that, a crisis that requires the world to take emergency action.
She was questioned as an adult and she defended herself as an adult. I kind of appreciate the republican for engaging with her in such a respectful and intellectual way. They didn't name call or insult each other. It was a respectful exchange of ideas. I liked it
Ah! This is Ralph Warren Norman Jr. (born June 20, 1953) is an American real estate developer and politician who has served as the U.S. representative for South Carolina's 5th congressional district since 2017
How to make China "behave"? Well one example ... Solar Panels needs Polysilicon it's their main building material. Currently 66% of this stuff is made by China in the same province the Uygure people are. There are 3 or 4 different companies all in China, all in the same province. Noone is allowed to see the inside of those factories even after China invited journalists. And the worst: You need a ton of energy for this resource and this energy is made from Coal Power Plants and oh wonder the province is rich in coal deposists as well. Cheap labour + cheap dirty energy = low price. So low that all other companies have problems competing. How can you make them stop with both things. Well you add tariffs to the import of Polysilicon from China. This makes Polysilicon more expensive from China. Less demand, less production, less exploitation. ... AND other countries who use clean energy who use normal labour have a chance to compete.
How bout lead by example, the average American per capital produces twice the amount of Co2 than Chinese. They aren’t going to lower their living standard so you can maintain yours. Get real buddy.
He was abrasive, but at least she had the chance to clarify some things. Why her? because she's a global leader. because the world doesn't belong exclusively to older people. And because the future doesn't belong to older people at all.
to be fair, in china for example Shenzhen (12.5M people), Has 16,000 Electric Buses And 22,000 Electric Taxis. for comparison sake New York (8.5M people 2019 number) has overall 5,800 internal combustion engine buses. the plan is to replace all of them within a 15 year period (until 2035).... in china they built the busses and then they replaced the old fleet.. the latest data i can find , there are only 650 electric buses in the whole US.. let that sink in...
electricity doesn't come from nowhere. The power out of your outlets come from somewhere. Either nuclear, hydro, or just plain burning coal or natural gas. And let's not forget, while you might not have to dig the ground for petroleum anymore, you're going to dig the ground for rare metals for the batteries on EV's. The process of mining and processing those metals are not any cleaner than oil.

"If a communist, genocidal country isn't going to lead the world in sustainable technologies then why should we" - U.S. Representative. Because we are global leaders. Because we don't take cues from communistic, genocidal countries. Because we want to lead the charge and demonstrate why we are global leaders. Because I don't ask how healthy is too healthy, how much savings is too much savings, how much work ethic is too much ethic, because I'm an American who believes in developing our technologies to be the best we can be and increase the quality of life and secure that quality into the future. What does China have to do with our effort? They will follow the market, and if a viable sustainable market can be developed they will utilize it. As long as we tell ourselves that there is no need to improve, the world will surpass us while we look away. I am not a U.S. representative and I don't receive "donations" from oil companies. Greta was asked for an argument for to prove the need according to the numbers. That is backwards. What is your argument for inaction.
She's an activist not a scientist. The fact that you're asking these questions means she's done her job successfully. She by no means has a phd in the fields youre discussing, shes barely an undergrad.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever read regarding her. Of course it matters because any false statements coming out of her can be used to conflate that with the entire environmental movement and discredit the cause. You're just making ridiculous excuses for her.
The fact that they asking her these questions is to let you dumb dumb understand what she saying. Which is stupidity. If you don’t agree, please elaborate. I’m all ears willing to listen
First time I am agreeing with something she says. America and the west as a whole has emitted the most historically. The developing nations like India are doing their part in decreasing to the extent they can without sacrificing economic growth and development. They too have a right to improve their standard of their living as well.
Sorry Ankush but India and the "developing world",with very few exceptions, are NOT doing their part in addressing the Climate Crisis. Emissions continue to soar. China emits more CO2 annually than the ENTIRE world did as recently as 1963. India, along with the rest of us, must find another way to improve the lives of it's people.
Admits to not reading any scientific reports as the basis for her call to panic. Can't give ANY (forget reasonable, attainable, etc.) target for a CO2 threshold supposedly because there's no magic number. Says that leading by example will cause a snowball effect of everyone else following (magic!) while claiming that it's not realistic to expect China to cooperate and that all everyone can do is exert some sort of pressure (peer pressure?) and hope for the best. Not that I disagree with everything she says but I'd rather we spend more time talking to actual experts. And the title is not one-sided, those are pretty deep questions for an 18-year old - hence the term "grill". It doesn't take one side or the other, just objectively descriptive of what's happening.
The problem is not Greta's hyperbole, but the fact that she is being so much importance by the press, which makes a developing, fairly green child the international thought leader of the green movement.
I'm so disgusted why people willing to take greta seriously. In my culture such young people should never interfere in matters that a so complex. Climate issue is just one of many many issues to be addressed. It is a complete waste of time.

I love that we are relying on children and metaphors to design our economic and environmental policy...
yeah except that these children point to studies and ppl knowledge about this stuff and basicly just demand action.
@@klauskinski5969 They don't point to any studies that say what should be done, or that doing anything would do something to curve climate change enough to stop what those studies DO suggest. She can bring attention to them all she wants - but her method of doing so is theatrical and not based in science at all.
Typical people will see this as an unfair fight between an old man and an 18 year old, but they don't realize everyone on your screen is propped up by some handler. Someone or a group of people who make sure they are going the right path. She's being taught how to speak at public events and finesse the activism grift far better than an average 25 year old would be able to.
Why do her handlers let her do this?
I thought this was Dewey from “Malcom in the Middle”

I don't get why people hate on China for their emissions that much. yes, they emit the most emissions out of any other country, but thye have an extremely large population, and in reality, their emissions per capita is very low compared to other developed countries. Yes, I hate the CCP, but we need to give real criticisms, not make-believe
@Martin Roa nope, I get my info from what seems to be the general scientific even from sources biased against China.
I’m surprised YT hasn’t deleted this video on the title alone...
Did she just say that it wasn't nice to demand other countries do their part??? Huh
No she didn't said that. On contrary, she, as a Swede asked US, another country to take action.
How you reached that conclusion though?
@@shubhanshjain People who hate her are purposely ignoring her meaning..
"In order for people in developing countries to raise their living standards we in high income countries need to take a few steps back"......I give her credit for admitting her agenda unlike the rest of the left.
It is completely clear that you have not understood the climate mafia at all.
To be clear: 1 billion dollars is spent on climate every day and worldwide, and that is considered about 100 times too little.
She is not dumb but she is not special, every interview she does is like this. If you disagree with her you shouldn't be mad at her though, be mad at her revolting parents and the media that have pushed her presence like mad since day one, regardless of how out of her depth she is during any sort of debate where she isn't surrounded by people worshipping the ground she walks on.
Greta you stole my childhood!!! Oh wait, I’m not a victim
Being an example is not going to do it. I was told my whole life I needed to a better example to my younger siblings. I'm the only one with a stable job.
Being an example is not going to do it. China has to do their part. They are never going to follow anybody's example.
@@idipped2521 except china does their part. its funny when a full industrialized nation complains about a country that is in a transmission and clearly showed the will to change, where as the developed country does nothing.
maybe you should start comparing china to china and not countries that arent developed or are shifting all their stuff to china.
This is a race to the bottom. If we do nothing about climate change millions of lives will be destroyed. Of course they all need to come together to take action. Thats why we have COP26
@@sunseeker9581 yeah no...the west was living 50 or more years about their need already. you literally demand from ppl that has not even partially the same as you to meet your goal? how about you learn to meet your roots first?
@@elizabethkraszewski6603 the Paris agreement showed countries can come together. China has made renewable energy incredibly cheap
Her answer on India is horseshit. The Indians are more than intelligent enough, and their country wealthy enough, to commence ramping up to different forms of energy production without the west martyring itself.
If the United States doesn't act, other countries generally won't. We have to be first.
I am afraid, India has good intentions, that's why it is investing in clean renewable energy. But, good intentions don't get the job done, money gets the job done, which India is lacking. Without help, India won't be able to fulfill its promises, doesn't matter they try or not!

I can really feel my tax dollars working to benefit mankind
I stole a french fry from my niece earlier tonight, to demonstrate exactly how much of what she makes gets taken away in taxes. When I was done, I bit off 8% more of what was left for sales tax. What was left over, I sliced in half to represent the nightmare and hidden tax of inflation. She's a good kid. I just wanted to steal the french fry.
This is what our taxes go for, folks. "Grilling" teenagers.
The sad thing is that she generally holds her own against these clowns.
Not this time.
Brian Davis, really? The clown asking the questions didn't sound like he has an original thought in his head, and has no understanding of nuance or personal responsibility
Taking real action would be cleaning up the garbage in your own neighborhood first. If you live in a city, go outside and take 100 steps, then come back and tell me how many masks you find on the ground 😂 🤮
O yes! Masks! The cause of climate change!
Define "city"
@@waynesmith6784 my point being is people cry about national and global policies, but can’t be bothered with their own neighborhoods.

So she won’t call out China or Russia or India all who pollute more then usa as 90% of their coal plants don’t have scrubbers but she won’t say that… how can a girl without any real world knowledge be given this much of a platform?
Who is she a puppet for?....... She makes no sense at all.
Her parents should be ashamed of themselves for putting her out front as the spokesperson for climate change.
Do you have any idea how much money her parents make from this?
I’m not smart enough to understand why anyone takes this kid serious. She is the dr faucci of climate change. 😂
True, just like Fauci she is ridiculed and harrassed instead of people engaging with her message, which doesn't take a climate scientist but rather a high school level of understanding to wrap your mind around.. But conservatives in the US would rather rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic than do something about the giant hole in the ship
It's ok everyone. My 4 year old isn't concerned about global warming So you shouldn't be either. What you should be concerned about is SPIDERS!

"Word: Panic
Meaning: the act of being a little concerned and slightly uncomfortable."
- The Thundberg English Dictionary
Anyone that hears her speech in which she said she wanted people to panic and took it to mean that she literally wants people to run in circles with their hands in the air whilst screaming at the top of their lungs is an idiot. She was clearly speaking in hyperbole, using a metaphor as she put it, to underscore that the climate crisis is just that, a crisis that requires the world to take emergency action.
She was questioned as an adult and she defended herself as an adult. I kind of appreciate the republican for engaging with her in such a respectful and intellectual way. They didn't name call or insult each other. It was a respectful exchange of ideas. I liked it
No she is reading from teleprompter look at her eyes 👀.

How to make China "behave"? Well one example ...
Solar Panels needs Polysilicon it's their main building material. Currently 66% of this stuff is made by China in the same province the Uygure people are. There are 3 or 4 different companies all in China, all in the same province. Noone is allowed to see the inside of those factories even after China invited journalists. And the worst: You need a ton of energy for this resource and this energy is made from Coal Power Plants and oh wonder the province is rich in coal deposists as well. Cheap labour + cheap dirty energy = low price.
So low that all other companies have problems competing. How can you make them stop with both things. Well you add tariffs to the import of Polysilicon from China. This makes Polysilicon more expensive from China. Less demand, less production, less exploitation. ... AND other countries who use clean energy who use normal labour have a chance to compete.
Yeah but no one is willing to stand up to China. They do what they want because every country lets them

I would definitely not call this a grilling... lol
^^ so true xD
Doomberg is so cringe!
He was abrasive, but at least she had the chance to clarify some things. Why her? because she's a global leader. because the world doesn't belong exclusively to older people. And because the future doesn't belong to older people at all.
She doesn't understand what a metaphor is
She doesn’t understand much.
to be fair, in china for example Shenzhen (12.5M people), Has 16,000 Electric Buses And 22,000 Electric Taxis.
for comparison sake New York (8.5M people 2019 number) has overall 5,800 internal combustion engine buses.
the plan is to replace all of them within a 15 year period (until 2035)....
in china they built the busses and then they replaced the old fleet..
the latest data i can find , there are only 650 electric buses in the whole US.. let that sink in...
That's an interesting point. I am curious how the electricity to run all those vehicles is generated.
@Clayton Wilson Thank you. Bingo.
@@NavvyMom you are waiting to hear "coal" but it could be renewables or nuclear. You have to google it to at least get an idea. Maybe coal. Idk
They should have bikes.
electricity doesn't come from nowhere. The power out of your outlets come from somewhere. Either nuclear, hydro, or just plain burning coal or natural gas.
And let's not forget, while you might not have to dig the ground for petroleum anymore, you're going to dig the ground for rare metals for the batteries on EV's. The process of mining and processing those metals are not any cleaner than oil.
Who is this guy? Why is he asking her questions like she's a climate scientist? I mean, it's not like he would listen to an actual climate scientist, but still

the solution to all energy issues is gen 4 nuclear fission, molten salt reactors are the solution, the quicker they are built the quicker this problem will be solved.
Molten Salt Reactors for the win. They're also scalable to demand, and you can have small scale ones for smaller towns and large ones for cities.

"If a communist, genocidal country isn't going to lead the world in sustainable technologies then why should we" - U.S. Representative.
Because we are global leaders. Because we don't take cues from communistic, genocidal countries. Because we want to lead the charge and demonstrate why we are global leaders. Because I don't ask how healthy is too healthy, how much savings is too much savings, how much work ethic is too much ethic, because I'm an American who believes in developing our technologies to be the best we can be and increase the quality of life and secure that quality into the future. What does China have to do with our effort? They will follow the market, and if a viable sustainable market can be developed they will utilize it. As long as we tell ourselves that there is no need to improve, the world will surpass us while we look away. I am not a U.S. representative and I don't receive "donations" from oil companies.

Keeps looking to her right to see what mommy and daddy are typing on the teleprompter.
Not what I would call a grilling. The Hill, you guys need to be better than this.
She's an activist not a scientist. The fact that you're asking these questions means she's done her job successfully. She by no means has a phd in the fields youre discussing, shes barely an undergrad.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever read regarding her. Of course it matters because any false statements coming out of her can be used to conflate that with the entire environmental movement and discredit the cause. You're just making ridiculous excuses for her.
The fact that they asking her these questions is to let you dumb dumb understand what she saying. Which is stupidity. If you don’t agree, please elaborate. I’m all ears willing to listen
Are you serious? She should have this basic knowledge when she's been doing this for year's.
if you're going to be an activist who is uneducated about the topic of activism... I would call that a "bleeding heart".
First time I am agreeing with something she says. America and the west as a whole has emitted the most historically. The developing nations like India are doing their part in decreasing to the extent they can without sacrificing economic growth and development. They too have a right to improve their standard of their living as well.
Teleprompter look at her eyes 👀. Not her words she just actor. A tool for the rich to make money.
So they have a right to use and benefit from fossil fuels, but not America and Europe? For what reason? Racism against white people maybe?
Sorry Ankush but India and the "developing world",with very few exceptions, are NOT doing their part in addressing the Climate Crisis. Emissions continue to soar. China emits more CO2 annually than the ENTIRE world did as recently as 1963. India, along with the rest of us, must find another way to improve the lives of it's people.
You done virtue signallin?, go cash your China Bucks.
China and india are "doing their part". In what way?
My taxes though.
I would like to redirect my taxes to people who can actually do things than, "grilling a teenager."
Why are we even listening to a high school drop out who is being used as a pawn by her parents to become rich?
“No, i mean, if we, i mean” IS ALL I HEARD 😂😂😂
Is it just me or did she have problems answering anything?????
Bring our jobs back from China and India , we can control what we emit when we are allowed to produce again.
her answers are actually smart. the title is so one-sided...
Pretty sure it was sarcasm to imply he was being so childish he’d be utterly incapable of grilling anyone.
Admits to not reading any scientific reports as the basis for her call to panic.
Can't give ANY (forget reasonable, attainable, etc.) target for a CO2 threshold supposedly because there's no magic number.
Says that leading by example will cause a snowball effect of everyone else following (magic!) while claiming that it's not realistic to expect China to cooperate and that all everyone can do is exert some sort of pressure (peer pressure?) and hope for the best.
Not that I disagree with everything she says but I'd rather we spend more time talking to actual experts. And the title is not one-sided, those are pretty deep questions for an 18-year old - hence the term "grill". It doesn't take one side or the other, just objectively descriptive of what's happening.
