Thank you Greta. You are simply amazing. You have inspired me to march and fight for climate justice. I have mulched my entire quarter acre suburban property in Midwest north America. I'm looking forward to growing as many flowers and vegetables as I can. Using Hugelkultur and composting I've been able become more self sustainable and this is only first year of gardening! Thanks for reading
Well if you follow climate science then you should know you can not rely on crops as a food source anymore. I sometimes find it hard to understand...farmers worlwide are struggling and have their crops failing. But people think they can just plant some tomatoes or whatever and be allright? You should anyway man. Whatever grows grows right?
@@forestdweller5581 with a deep mulch and Hugelkultur, my plants will have be a bit more resilient. But yes like you, I don't expect much good these days...given the rate of change. This way im giving back to earth through building soil and providing habitat for bio diversity. Why not?
Also, I'm using polyculture not monoculture like large scale farmers
HEMP!!! it can be made into plastics, clothing, BIO FUEL, hemp-crete...so on it can replace oil in a lot of ways, i never hear about the pros of replacing pertol with it and it probably because oil companys dont want that to happen but growing hemp is also very benificial for the environment.... GOVERNMENTS SHOULD BE FUNDING FARMERS TO GROW HEMP!
Actually you know what? Lets do it, fuck it, fuck tesla, fuck eletric only, you gotta take risks, show the government our real solutions that are economical and better for the environment
Actually, that is a very old and overpublicised message. With desperation clinging on to keep society alive. Actually, hemp is a very old plant. And an interesting one at that. The ancestors found, who are thousands of years old carry hemp seeds. But also other seeds and resources. They were more in touch with nature than industrial people like us and they did not consider hemp to be a saviour of the planet or anything like that.
I used to be the nr. 1 marihuana farmer here in Holland so i know a bit about this species. Cannabis will certainly not save us from industrial destruction. Nettles have much of the same qualities for making rope, clothing and so on but you don't see many people claiming nettles can replace oil and save the planet.
The cannabis hype or hemp hype is fueled by industry...endless growth.
There are a bunch of people all trying to reïnvent the wheel through cannabis and 99% of them are full of shit.
Big ass egoists who will take your money gladly while talking tough about making the planet better...sheer maffia.
And by the way, governments do grow hemp and encourage other growers..of course they do.
The oil companies have the patents already on important strains anyway.
Definitely not a good thing for biodiversity or climate change if hemp production is attempted in larger scale.
This has been a well known fact for decades .. Evil lurks everywhere . Dupont is the largest contributor to anti hemp propaganda and Funds the US government to prohibit the growth and use of HEMP . Follow the money and you will find the most evil starting with Big Oil and Dupont .
WW1 farmers were asked to plant hemp bc it could be used for so many things, then the plastic industry (fueled by the oil industry) propagandized hemp and cannabis and became illegal with supposedly the same potency and effects of heroin, and scheduled higher than cocaine and meth. Greed is the number one killer
Hemp doesn't solve the too many humans problem.
This is the demand we need. Total divestion from fossil fuels. Period.
And you're using a computer made of stone, I presume, not one made of petroleum-based plastics?
Good luck with zero petroleum. That statement expressed how ignorant you are
@rumple stiltskin Such a boomer comment. But besides that, I can guarantee using social media to spread the message is far more effective and eco-friendly then passing out thousands of flyers
“To act as if you love your children above all else” Such a basic and rational request, but our leaders, not just the US administration, but all our leaders are not walking their talk. The avoidable tragedy... If my leader, Trudeau, had half the courage of Greta... if only
The Australian Prime Minister is no better than trump, just a little less stupid but more conniving in that he says "AGW is important and we must do something" then does nothing. It is as if Greta is talking directly to Scott Morrison.
In god they trust
This sentence was like a dagger in my heart.. i see her and its like seeing my own daughter talking and i wish we were all “panicking” and changing our ways..
I agree...I was hoping Trudeau would do better...guess not...wish I knew what to do...how can we make our leaders act..talking to Trudeau is sometimes like talking to a rock...same answer, WE ARE LOOKING INTO IT...sad
JT is an actor. He has his puppet masters...same as Harper did.
We need action now !!!
I admire Greta's courage. She gives me hope for the future.
If it was 10 - 15 years ago maybe, but I lost all hope the day I realised China and India have more then 2 billion people who basically don’t care at all
@@oovoojavar I would offer the following quote: "Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out." -- Vaclav Havel, former president of the Czech republic.
So ... what makes sense? For me, it makes sense to try to protect the precious rarity of life in our solar system by never giving up the fight against ever-worstening climate destruction. In the end, no matter what happens, I want to be able to look my children in the eye and say, "I tried."
RussCR5187 RussCR5187 I may have lost all hope, but that doesn’t mean I don’t try to do something about it. I mean, it’s just kinda hart really doing a difference for 1 guy in Denmark.
I am technically vegan, that means I never buy meat or dairy and for the most part I actually dumpster dive. I always drive my bike anywhere no matter what weather in 30km and take train anywhere else,
But it’s not gonna make any difference, just look at the numbers?
Honestly look it up from some real scientists and understand them and tell me you haven’t lost hope
You mean hope that we’ll continue to do nothing while sleepwalking into the apocalypse?
Courage is always admirable.Greta gives me the feeling of people desperately clinging on to false hope. I'm with Donald on that. The future died some time ago. McPherson said it quite well; Hope, being the opposite of fear. Both are expectations not based in reality. Reality is extinction. Unstoppable no matter how many kids or adults become active. Worse every day, worse every year. Bummer hey lol?
respect for Mrs thunberg
Greta's right, and she was speaking to an audience of total dorks.
Beautiful speech
Your name confusion fits you perfectly...you must be confused.... beautiful speech??..this is a child acting like she is an adult like she is the second coming of Jesus...like she is an expert on how to world works
Definitely the hero of our time. Her speaches are completely on target, scientifically sound, emotionaly balanced. How would you feel if your doctor gave you a bad predicament? I suspect we must choose our political leaders among youngsters with selective mutism...
Give that girl a nobel
@rumple stiltskin you are a troll. Congratulations.
Thank you Greta!
Great Speech, Well Done Greta.
Greta always talks sense! ❤️☀️🌍🐮🐥🐖🙏
Wow👌
Thank you, Greta!!!
Thanks honour Earth
I am amazed at how succinctly she is able to describe our environmental situation. Sadly, though, I’m convinced that there’s nothing we can do to avert disaster and avoid our ultimate fate
WASCF🔥🌏🔥
Hey XR, just so you know: the automatic translation of the video's description comes out wrong (at least in Italian it does): her phrase "I've been warned that telling people to panic about the climate crisis is a very dangerous thing to do" should be rendered as "Mi hanno avvertito che dire alla gente di panicare per la crisi climatica è una cosa molto pericolosa" (not, as it currently shows, "Mi è stato detto di far sapere alla gente che la crisi climatica è una cosa molto pericolosa", which translates to "I've been asked to tell people that the climate crisis is a dangerous thing").
👏👏👏👏👏👏💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I think we should introduce;
Friday's For Future, Across the board for many industries, including Politicians.
What would one Friday off every week, every fortnight or every month do for us, for our environment for your children?
Think About This.
Friday's For Future?
Again a great speech from Greta. She is realistic, clear and courageous. She is the voice of future generations that we are not allowed to dismiss.
Voice of the future??!!!..what are u on drugs??!!?
We need to fight climate change. Greta you are so beautiful.
I’m scared
We should all be terrified
@@quinndawsonosgood5261 We sould all be doing something
She is right, sharp and direct 😶 WoW 🤗
She is left, blunt and vague. That's what happens when you have been indoctrinated by actors for parents. It's all 'an act'. 'The world is your stage Greta.'
Any person that listening to this kid is the problem.
Thank you Greta once again , it must be exhausting repeating yourself. But we the people we hear you.
When social unrest, inequality, extreme weather, floods, fires, droughts and famine begin to peak how many of these professionals will say to their children "... But all of what I was doing at work was to give you a good start and provide you with a better future!?"
I signed up for monthly donation to XR, woo!
Such a brave soul! Thank you.
She hasn't and will never finish the obligatory 9 years in school that more than 99% of Swedish children manage (the 99% include people that doesn't know any Swedish or English).
She was chosen for her childish look and ability to speak English. That she doesn't know anything though in kindergarten or school makes her someone that most people want to protect and comfort.
The left sends out a child that is told that everyone and everything (except global Communism) is dangerous. Greta will be an uninformed and scared child the rest of her (hopefully long) life. I feel sorry for her while hating those that made her afraid of everything coming from a person having a belief to the right of Stalin and Claus Schwab.
Greta is a mental slave being played by people that doesn't care about anyone except them self. That includes politicians, this channel and her parents!
Greta is right: they are playing a game. It's a game where we lose in the end, and we know it. It's very frustrating, but I don't know how to prevent the worst outcome. Let's hope we stop fiddling as Rome burns, but I just don't see it happening. Those fossil fuels are like pure gold to humanity now, so to stop them being dug up and burn them seems like a hopeless dream given their inherent value. We ARE giving up, but we don't have the courage to say it.
We don't win anything at telling ourselves that we've got no chance
I believe the only approach that will work at this point is sustained mass demonstrations of non-violent civil disobedience. The billionaire elites who control the world's economic and political systems have corrupted all of the traditional democratic levers of power: Elections, paid-for congress, stacked judiciary, corporate-owned mass media, and so on. We need a million or more in the streets of D.C. and New York demanding a change in leadership -- to one that works for ALL of the people and for our children's future.
You should read hope in the dark from Rebecca Solnit
Greta is one of the most courageous, bravest, fearless open and honest people I have ever heard, she's young, highly intelligent, and female......humanity is addicted to fossil fuels, every single thing we do is either directly or indirectly as a result of burning this resource, we have had warnings since 1847 about the high cost to the environment fossil fuels would bring, this high cost is the destruction of the biosphere, the warming of the planet to the degree that the arctic is melting rapidly, and we will likely have a blue ocean event within the next couple of years after which the planet will heat up more rapidly, at present we are feeling the heating from emissions put into the atmosphere in 1980, there is a 40 year lag in the system, the permafrost is melting and because 24% of the exposed land mass in the northern hemisphere is permafrost, this is huge as its releasing methane, also because the oceans are warming rapidly globally and in particular in the arctic in the ESAS, methane is being released from the clathrates on the shallow sea floor, we have gone past the tipping points and have triggered self reinforcing feedback loops and its all gone exponential...…..sadly no one has informed Greta that if we turned off all the fossil fuel plants tomorrow, the particulates would fall from the atmosphere and the planet would heat up rapidly, this would likely be the human extinction event as we are complex animals and all other complex animals will go extinct also because organisms cannot keep up with that rate of change...….sadly and criminally nothing can be done, it is way too late, action should have been taken at the very least 50 years ago and then we might have had a fighting chance...….sadly at the core of all the problems is population, the planet's resources have only ever been able to sustain 1.5 billion people, and we have been in overshoot for decades, and we currently add 200,000 people births minus deaths each day to the planet, it's insane to even think that the growth paradigm could keep going, infinite growth on a finite planet, humanity has trashed the planet, killed everything, destroyed everything, we are in the midst of the 6th mass extinction and its the greatest and deadliest with great speed, so far, and its caused by humans...……….this is why there is no action being taken by those in government who do the bidding of the big corporations and the fossil fuels industries...…..this is why Greta's words fall on deaf ears, its literally too late......having said that, we should do what is right nonetheless, especially decommissioning the 450 nuclear power plants
@@juliehay I fully agree, except I don't think we should abandon nuclear power. It's relatively safe, and it's probably the only energy solution we have that can even begin to take the place of fossil fuels. But I doubt we'll do anything until it is too late, and yes, it probably is too late. I know it's selfish, but I cannot help it: I'm so happy I've 49 rather than 16 like Greta.
Love what you doing Greta.!!
greta does not have time for bozos like you. but thanks anyway.
Diesel engine 💀 I gonna gassss my diesel car
wow.................
The whole world cannot plant enough trees to even offset that was lost in Australia. We still have another 2 months to for this fire season, (its 42 degrees today).
We are leaving all the heavy lifting for our Grand children, some are just babies today. It is cowardly to leave so much to those young children.
Eric is that true? What’s your source?
If that’s true I feel like we have absolutely no hope left
@@jumboridesagain7336 ….. You need to be aware of how many square KMs of Forest has been burnt in Australia, then think about how long it take to plant that many trees.
You have a losers mentality.
"Our generation will not go without a fight". Agreed, Greta! We have up to a whole 70 years of life to as secure the future!
This is what happens when kids skip school....keep her in school she needs the education... Talking like she knows how the world works....like she is the second coming of Jesus...😂😂😂 China and India laughing like they going to comply 100% this is America's off switch
andrew tate said the same thing
There is no hope....only courage.....then hope.
It makes me sad this videos always just do have some thousand klicks, meanwhile most dumb senseless bullsxxt went viral and get watched million times :( carry her message to the people around you and share please ! :)
Must feel nice to be able to pontificate to the rest of the world from a country with cheap unlimited Nuclear/Hydro power and the highest living standards in Europe.
Abigail Williams in the 17th Century to Greta in the 21st. History is a funny thing
the difference being, Greta's right...
There is nothing funny about it.
Surprize the world America! There is absolutely no hope to save the world by any other nation! SO SAD 😞!
I ran into a patient I worked with to get her blood sugars controlled. She was doing great then the holidays came. I asked her if she was going to come back in. She said she had to help her 2 kids sell 1200 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies each. We left the store about the same time. She pulled into the fast food chicken place. Face plant. Keeping up with the culture is digging an early grave.
Who is this kid? Like me 15 year old?
This speech is so legendary that an entire character in Don't Look Up is based on it. Two years later though, and not a damn thing has changed. Boomers are horrifying.
Science fiction has used the term terraforming for years. It is a process to make another planet like Earth - Earth before the 6th Great Exticntion began. What we're doing to Earth now could be called Venusforming - molten iron anyone?
Personally, I am extremely disappointed that the USA gov't has withdrawn from the Paris agreement. Trust me, this is NOT the sentiment of the people. It's the hierarchy of the gov't doing this. Makes me so angry we have such a backward gov't.
I feel like the agreements don't realy matter anyways, we have been signing agreements on climate and nature for decades and have yet to meet a single target set in those agreements. Talking about what has to happen and then doing nothing doesn't realy help. In my country we all seem to agree that climate change is happening and has to be stopped. Hardly anyone however is willing to give up any comfort to realize this, and therein is the problem. We say we want change, but we also want the freedom to fly, drive and consume how we want.
Yeh Growth progress and profit.
Lol
Nothing is what are government is good at..😢😤
Great speech, Well read. I would love to here from the adult that wrote it 😉
Human extinction 2020 🤞
Let's see how many climate loonies are in this comment section
and that is hitler... so friday the 13 th... just for clearance... CAN YOU IMAGINE AN CENTURY BEFORE,,. WE VE'HAD THE SAME DEBATE.
You guys are al crazy go back to school and study some sciences before you talk about things you don't understand
We can study science, but we can better lissen to the science that there already is.
@@hxrta- okay than bring groundbreaking alternatives to the things like oil instead of just screaming that everything should chance while you don't even know how it should change.
Vnitro She talks about exactly the science that you demand. She is regularly counselled by some of the most eminent climate scientists globally, especially Prof. Kevin Anderson from the UK.
@@achenarmyst2156 okay thru shit is going bad now bring the alternatives.
