In August 2018, then 15-year-old Greta Thunberg skipped class to protest in front of the Swedish parliament to raise awareness about climate change, holding a sign that read "Skolstrejk för Klimatet." Since then, she's continued to strike on Fridays (which became Global Climate Strikes), she's delivered blunt speeches on the world stage, and she's ignited a global youth-led movement to fight climate change.
Greta Thunberg's protest began with a tweet from @GretaThunberg:
"Vi barn gör ju oftast inte som ni säger åt oss att göra, vi gör som ni gör. Och eftersom ni vuxna skiter i min framtid, så gör jag det med.
Jag skolstrejkar för klimatet fram till valdagen."
Which, translated in English, reads:
"We children usually don't do as you tell us to do, we do as you do. And if you adults don't care about my future, neither do I. I will school strike for the climate until election day."
In one Greta Thunberg speech, she says, "We have come here to let you know that change is coming, whether you like it or not. The real power belongs to the people."
In this Greta Thunberg interview, One Small Step host Lucy Biggers chats with the young activist to discuss Thunberg's experience starting a global environmental movement and to talk about what other ways we can all work towards combating climate change as we move forward into the future.

So nice how Greta cannot handle this American being over-nice.... Dont over-compliment Swedes, being humble is very important.
The rich want us to cut back while they fly around on private jets and live in mansions.
@@SGHedge , The rich want you to work more, so you can spend more, thats why they are rich. No, Greta is saying the opposite, you should cut down on your consumption...
She is not humble listen to her other speaches
Make the world Greta than ever.
Maek tha world greta than eva
at Ggzh a argue - Ahh i see what you did there, " Greta" instead of "Greater" Haha ha lol.
This is just the beginning.
the beginning of the End for real Nature....you will see when the 240.000.000 Fake-climate "refugees" will come in the "west", with cars, 5G, concrete buidlings and all energy/over-consuming
Of the return of (uganda) now green knucles 😁🤣
For some reason I just remembered ever after high
Ok buddy
@3ds max wrong
I sense a new level of communication have been achieved by Greta. Really nice!
"The best medication is too take action"
Trust does not Rust. 😉
Possibly my favorite quote in history made by a girl. Coodoez
This has causative value. A friendly causative that includes children around the world. The result today is that people have a respectable causative. Friendly Causative is todays movement toward a better future. A better future is our best choice, Brian Koller
This put tears in my eyes. Thank you Greta for your not so small step!
Climate hoaxers are wrong about the future.
Higher CO2 greens the planet.
Rollling I have to disagree with you. See, you got half of the picture right but didn’t get the full consequence of increasing carbon dioxide. As CO2 gradually increases the heat coming from the sun will stay longer inside out atmosphere thus making global warming. As our planet heats up the ice sheets in North and South pole AND Greenland melts thus eliminating the ability of sun light to reflect off of the ice sheets; less ice sheets means more heat. Increasing CO2 in our atmosphere will affect all living things in the planet. Hope this enlightens you.
@Rolf Jander We need more Marxist professors on universities to make science great again.
really ??? exploiting a child makes you happy ?? She walks and cycles around or takes the bus or the train like all of us ??
She got you that's what she's trying to do. She's a great sales lady.
I wish you only the best, my dear friend Greta!
It's interesting how a lot of people are like 'what can I do? I'm just one single human being?' Imagine if all those people thought the opposite.
There's so many small steps everyone can take: reduce your meat consumption, reduce flying with airplanes, only use green energy, don't buy stuff you don't need etc.
'Be the change you want to see in the world' - Ghandi
"reduce your meat consumption"
Wrong, go vegan. Reducing alone will not help, we need to abolish animal agriculture.
amen!
Especially when this comes from Europeans
What about all these "single human beings" who fought for democracy in the past? Wtf
In my opinion, I don't think that eating meat or being vegan makes the difference, it's more about where it comes from that matters. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
@@cocaineenthusiast8373 the amount and where it and their food comes from
Everybody can do a huge change in daily life.
Start now a new step in your life. ACTIONS ACTIONS ACTIONS

patricia ferrini go vegan 🌱
I am already vegan
patricia ferrini not just talking to you, but to everyone reading this since it is the single biggest way one person can reduce their own carbon footprint :)
@@katharsis7957 sorry i dont understand what are you saying
Use Ecosia as a search engine.
Can really understand the fact that why many people don’t like her? She is doing something so that you and your kids and the future generation can live happily. She’s not doing it for herself, she’s doing it for us.
She is doing it for herself too. Anyways, there is no more important cause than the one she is fighting for. She makes people aware of the catastrophe that is very near now. She really is a hero and a very, very smart kid.
A very inspirational intelligent young woman with a determined spirit. What the world needs now.
"That's not courage, it's just determination." Wow!
"facts dont matter in society" Im going to light myself on fire
THIS BRAINWASHING FROM A SCRIPTED 16 YEAR OLD IS SICK!!!!!
In our modern society money does too much of the talking, not facts.
@@frankbooth8003 Thats why we must keep the goverment out of the economy. Corporations spend money in politics because washington keeps trying to mess with them.
luis luis they don’t, you must be dumb to think otherwise
luis luis stop being Stupid ... This is Real science is real .... ..
Greta seemed really passionate and genuine. I can't help but wonder how many kids who join in the movement are serious about doing what they can besides school strike..
“It’s not courage , it’s just determination” I do appreciate her disagreeable personality trait , the force is strong in this one.
@@hoolydooly5072 By what, systemic meta reviews and such? Or are you meaning she didn’t memorize the Bible enough?
God bless earth☺
If you really knew God Sir, you would understand, and see very clearly this is the literal End-times beast system forming and being put into place my Friend....... Honest Question, do you also support the one world religion Sir?
There are only five real gods.
My idol "!🎀.
'I've said I will do this until Sweden is in line with The Paris Agreement.' A very reasonable goal for all of the best of reasons according to every single book and/or document, about 'right-n-wrong'. Good luck, all of us.
@Mathew Blacksmith Yeah, u-kno, like the way those who can actually make the differences needed on the leadership end talk all of the time. There's nothing to prove, any more. Only solutions and problems, to be. 'You're' one or the other.
This has to get bigger and bigger because it will have big impact in the future.
Every time I listen to Malcolm X, I tear up, just as I do when I replay Martin Luther King's speeches. I feel immensely emotional following the documentaries of the legendary Muhammad Ali --and at 50 years of age, my eyes water every time I listen to this young pioneer, an ANGEL, humble but fiery and committed, GRETA THUNBERG!!! Bravo YOUNG QUEEN!!! Keep on going, COURAGEOUS YOUNG LION!!! Indeed, CAPITAL HAS FAILED YOU AND YOUR GENERATION!!! NOBEL PEACE LAUREATE ALREADY IN MY BOOK, MS PRESIDENT!
Yes, me too - to everything you say! I didn't expect to start crying. She is devoid of ego. She just does what needs to be done. And she is moved by a deep love for the planet and all beings. I'll take her as president any day!!
@@susank1646 You can say that again and again, dear Susan!
@Steph Watson WTF are you talking about? That I get emotional when I hear the inspirational late legends and leaders' speeches that I identify with --is a problem for you? Greta is my latest international heroine --she is White, I am Black --and WTF is your point?

Acta non verba
Go greta
These kids today r fearless and I agree with them 💯
I love how she said “why should we learn facts when facts don’t matter in society”
Darn that hit hard. I want every climate denier parent to hear that. And make them feel that
too much to ask, according to the ones who need it to sink in the most.
This gives me hope. I love my generation.
Than you'll all grow up and laugh at your teen years, as we all do.
I'm a millennial and I have to say that your generation is amazing. Don't let any other generation tell you that you can't accomplish something.
What happen to global warming? Now its climate change ?
Here is the progress! A girl who has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder and selective mutism is used to wind up global climate hysteria, which serves to make a giant cash register leap using the air trading method.
Thank you Greta! Love you very much.
I care more about the environment than ever before by taking small steps you talk about....recycling, trying compost as much as possible within my home, picking up trash in my neighborhood, decided to buy new things, clothings but careful with what kind of material I choose, stop eating most meat.
Planning to see recycling bins and compost bins in the community I live as a start.
Clearly fake . She didn't start anything and she spews nothing but lies. She's the child of some rich actors.
We "ALL" need to follow in Greta Thunberg's footsteps and go screaming against China's lack of controls on their industrial emissions. Not just America, but all countries purchasing their products.
It is also a pity that the next generation is not considered. Basically we need to overwrite all the damages, we have to act responsible and that means we have to take it seriously and not ridiculing a young person who speaks out openly and in a very peaceful manner.
*THERE'S NO MORE PLANETS TO LIVE!*
Yau stedes saben vsauce or there is
Awesome 😊 makes feel so good to see the youth of today taking a stand.
You are amazing. God bless Thank You
She's Amazing!!!
💕
she reminds me of the girl who silenced the world for five minutes
I love this kid. It took one child to start a movement
She is a hero for the generations to come
she didnt start ANYTHING!!!!!! SHE IS BEING USED, ALL HER WORDS ARE SCRIPTED BY A TEAM OF VERY TALENTED TEAM OF PROFESSIONAL U.N. SPEECH WRITERS!!!! THERE'S NOT ONE WORD THAT YOU HAVE HEARD HER SAY THAT WASN'T SCRIPTED!!! she is being propped up and paid for by the very people who polluted our world half to death in the 1st place for corporate profits, but now you want to listen to their solution to the biggest problem on earth out of the mouth of a scripted, manipulated, autistic 16 year old????
And for her own generation.
Not to mention she still has got a long road ahead to Learn and experience.
Not because she's is a teen; because she started her movement for only two years.
Just wait till a few years later.
She'll be one of the most important and influence full activitists in the world
I really like this channel, thank you!
One question about the facts: are planes only producing 6x more co2 than trains? I thougt it was much more, about 75 000x more.
That's correct 75 000 is a more accurate estimation.
I think there is a lot of variation, some trains still run by fuel which makes their carbon emissions higher, though they're still much more efficient than planes (less carbon emissions per person per kilometre). Many trains run by electricity though, which can be green, or not - that again reduces the emissions accordingly.
The step from 1 to 2 is always the biggest. Once you have passed that step you're not far from creating a movement.
this is just amazing and with her we can change this earth into something amazing
Make earth great again
Not with her. It will be done by actual workers who silently work all over the world. I salute them. Not this little brat sorry
Kudos to her parents for supporting her!
So many inspiring quotes from a young mind.
Greta Thurnberg is a great leader I learned about climate change and feel like the young people in the video are doing their part it's good to think of the planet having great leaders for the changes of tomorrow. President Bari will be a good President for America? I chose to be in uniform to remember the Holocaust. Keep hope alive on the 15th of November. This Monday. Salute
Talk to China Greta love
I don't understand what you're saying. What is a four plex home?
🌱
What are the benefits of the Sun, which does not heat the soil on Earth, and the wind that does not carry seeds and water vapor grains? How much damage will solar panel and wind turbine energy use to our atmosphere after 50 years? If there is a scientist to say or prove it, explain it right away !!!
why does not she directly question the president of china which is the most polluting country in the world, I personally would like her to put pressure on scientists of the whole world to create a formula to make mainly plastics as biodegradable as paper or that really is something difficult, super impossible to achieve?
Because kids these days don't have enough psychological issues they need some irreparable anxiety complex thrown in there.
Anyone that thinks the solution to our problems is to tax us more so the governments can further mismanage our money is insane. The true disaster is in the poisoning of our air water and soils causing cancer and other various diseases while we are all fighting about altering an unfathomably dynamic environment. We are just on for a ride, the fact that life on earth has been able to thrive for hundreds of thousands of years left to its own still astounds me.
The first electric car was built in 1890. The first solar panel was built in 1839. The first windmill was built in 1854. Soooo what happened???
Oil was already aware of the threat to its thousands, BILLIONS to quote trump
What if oil is an entity in its self? It is
Governments favoring Oil companies interests
Nobel Peace Prize for GRETA Thunberg
MICHELE IEZZA why peace ? What has she done for piece ?
Actually, Greta is an excellent representative of the climate religion. If she were any more rational, it would be easier to mistake it for a viable position. Her ridiculous arguments make it easier to see the climate religion for what it is. It is scary, however, that so many young people treat her as a prophet, whereas politicians shamelessly use her for their dirty purposes.
stop working for petroleum companies
Go greta❤️🇸🇪🇸🇪
She plays the victim card early and often. Hope she soon resolves her anger and fear. Best of luck, little girl.

Hi Greta you are doing very beautiful work. You are special.
Do you believe that are two rivers in São Paulo, that you can't brief because is so polluted. The rivers name is Tietê and Pinheiros.
This is a huge neglect.
Surname is pronounced Tunberry please get it right
So inspiring!
Next cover, next year ..... should be Alexandria Ocasio Cortez .....:)))))))
I would love to meet her and shake her hand. ☺️💜🤝

Wonderful!!!
This is child abuse. Poor girl.

God thank you thier are very few of you on this planet earth
This child is an emissary from God. Pay attention!
Going vegan but not organic is not enough. Meat producing pollutes a lot but non organic food is destroyng everything. She is a hero, a True Saviour. Thank you Greta
So when are you going to sacrifice your firstborn to her?

Cypress1337 Mr beast : 20 million trees I guess that’s huge isn’t it
@@ahyan14 20 million tree's is nothing I'm afraid. We need 1.2 trillion tree's. That's almost half of the tree's on the earth (3 trillion). Besides, Mr Beast just gave away 40 cars negating his 20 million tree's.

How would

if adults had on fridays off?
What would your contribution to environmental protection look like?
Maybe just hang out and do nothing.
I respect her for the courage and energy to stand up for it,
no matter how much contempt she gets.
climate change is vague,.. are we talking about warming ?
Warming is a huge part of it but not the only thing. That's why they changed the name to climate change. The changes in temperature among other things that are causing ripple and domino effects regarding weather and environmental quality all around the world including over heating, draughts, sea levels rising, floods, stronger and more frequent hurricanes, pollution, and so on.
Her father Svante Thunberg was named after his dad's grandmother's cousin Svante Arrhenis who is the father of their greenhouse theory. Kids being propped up.
Listen to both sides..
Wow. Thank You. God bless you are my hero too.
I love you child
My parents tried to but a plastic bag over my head! She said. How Dare You!
In Canada there is not really an every Friday protest it’s like every view months or I’m not up to date on the protest thing
she has ignited nothing but her parents pocket book
we lived through this nonsense in the 70's
call it LEFT PART 2, this time, its the same
Are you serious. Politics only. Yes, but really not getting it obviously as she is an expression of frustration with bad Planet management. Is that how you might get it?
@@ohsomiso bad planet mgt. Uh huh, and specifically what do you think she has studied to draw her conclusions? Do YOU get it?
Please explain the thumbs down for this video?
Because Greta Thunberg=they were taking the babies out of their incubators=dust boy=drowned migrant babies... Etc etc etc.
Using children as political props. It's old hat.
A lot of people, living comfortable lives, are disturbed by hearing the truth, and direct their bad feelings against her. But in the end of the day they are just scared.
Because she is being used to push a political agenda. The so called science she is discussing is a minute fraction of the whole picture and she is presenting a very biased view.
Tanya G Davies Just remember there are so many more people who care about the Earth and support Greta and other young people who are helping protect and heal the Earth. These are just a few people, many of them unhappy. Its always like that, but no worries, they will come to see the light one day too. I always focus on the Good and the Good brings even more Good! Love to you dear one!!
Because its absolute alarmism idiocy. If you really care aboyt the earth research and protest geoengineering. What I want to know is why are people so clueless as to what is really going-on with the climate and weather.

What exactly have you learned? Since this video lacks any information about climate change.This video was not about solving climate change, this was only about Greta.
