>>>>Greta is a fucking tool that has the ability to do what she does because of the immense wealth of her parents
1) I’ve never heard her immense wealth mentioned before. I looked it up her parents are an ex opera singer and an actor. If you can point me towards her immense wealth please do so
2) if being the child of someone supposedly immensely wealthy automatically disqualified you to discuss anything I’m wondering why we have to put up with our current president and his kids.
But go ahead Ned. Please tell me more about what a fucking tool this 16 year old girl is.
Greta really got under your skin, Ned. Too bad you aren’t capable of understanding the urgency of her message and the Climate Change science. Or the the fact that she’s sincere, brilliant and the leading a movement in response to inaction and naysayers like you.
"unshakable moral clarity" is how her and her family have described how they came to their view points. It must be nice to be able to have this unshakable moral clarity when you dont have to live paycheck to paycheck. Just another rich white person telling the poor how to live. She should hop back on her carbon fiber yacht and get the fuck out of here.
I get it. We should let old scientist present a well reasoned argument backed by overwhelming evidence. That will get the ball rolling on the change we need.
As the rumours, lies and constant leaving out of well established facts continue, please share this newly updated clarification about me and my school strike.
Please help me communicate this to the grown ups who lie about me and family so that I can focus on school instead:
Recently I’ve seen many rumors circulating about me and enormous amounts of hate. This is no surprise to me. I know that since most people are not aware of the full meaning of the climate crisis (which is understandable since it has never been treated as a crisis) a school strike for the climate would seem very strange to people in general.
So let me make some things clear about my school strike.
In may 2018 I was one of the winners in a writing competition about the environment held by Svenska Dagbladet, a Swedish newspaper. I got my article published and some people contacted me, among others was Bo Thorén from Fossil Free Dalsland. He had some kind of group with people, especially youth, who wanted to do something about the climate crisis.
I had a few phone meetings with other activists. The purpose was to come up with ideas of new projects that would bring attention to the climate crisis. Bo had a few ideas of things we could do. Everything from marches to a loose idea of some kind of a school strike (that school children would do something on the schoolyards or in the classrooms). That idea was inspired by the Parkland Students, who had refused to go to school after the school shootings.
I liked the idea of a school strike. So I developed that idea and tried to get the other young people to join me, but no one was really interested. They thought that a Swedish version of the Zero Hour march was going to have a bigger impact. So I went on planning the school strike all by myself and after that I didn’t participate in any more meetings.
When I told my parents about my plans they weren’t very fond of it. They did not support the idea of school striking and they said that if I were to do this I would have to do it completely by myself and with no support from them.
On the 20 of august I sat down outside the Swedish Parliament. I handed out fliers with a long list of facts about the climate crisis and explanations on why I was striking. The first thing I did was to post on Twitter and Instagram what I was doing and it soon went viral. Then journalists and newspapers started to come. A Swedish entrepreneur and business man active in the climate movement, Ingmar Rentzhog, was among the first to arrive. He spoke with me and took pictures that he posted on Facebook. That was the first time I had ever met or spoken with him. I had not communicated or encountered with him ever before.
Many people love to spread rumors saying that I have people ”behind me” or that I’m being ”paid” or ”used” to do what I’m doing. But there is no one ”behind” me except for myself. My parents were as far from climate activists as possible before I made them aware of the situation.
I am not part of any organization. I sometimes support and cooperate with several NGOs that work with the climate and environment. But I am absolutely independent and I only represent myself. And I do what I do completely for free, I have not received any money or any promise of future payments in any form at all. And nor has anyone linked to me or my family done so.
And of course it will stay this way. I have not met one single climate activist who is fighting for the climate for money. That idea is completely absurd.
Furthermore I only travel with permission from my school and my parents pay for tickets and accommodations.
My family has written a book together about our family and how me and my sister Beata have influenced my parents way of thinking and seeing the world, especially when it comes to the climate. And about our diagnoses.
That book was due to be released in May. But since there was a major disagreement with the book company, we ended up changing to a new publisher and so the book was released in august instead.
Before the book was released my parents made it clear that their possible profits from the book ”Scener ur hjärtat” will be going to 8 different charities working with environment, children with diagnoses and animal rights.
And yes, I write my own speeches. But since I know that what I say is going to reach many, many people I often ask for input. I also have a few scientists that I frequently ask for help on how to express certain complicated matters. I want everything to be absolutely correct so that I don’t spread incorrect facts, or things that can be misunderstood.
Some people mock me for my diagnosis. But Asperger is not a disease, it’s a gift. People also say that since I have Asperger I couldn’t possibly have put myself in this position. But that’s exactly why I did this. Because if I would have been ”normal” and social I would have organized myself in an organisation, or started an organisation by myself. But since I am not that good at socializing I did this instead. I was so frustrated that nothing was being done about the climate crisis and I felt like I had to do something, anything. And sometimes NOT doing things - like just sitting down outside the parliament - speaks much louder than doing things. Just like a whisper sometimes is louder than shouting.
Also there is one complaint that I ”sound and write like an adult”. And to that I can only say; don’t you think that a 16-year old can speak for herself? There’s also some people who say that I oversimplify things. For example when I say that "the climate crisis is a black and white issue”, ”we need to stop the emissions of greenhouse gases” and ”I want you to panic”. But that I only say because it’s true. Yes, the climate crisis is the most complex issue that we have ever faced and it’s going to take everything from our part to ”stop it”. But the solution is black and white; we need to stop the emissions of greenhouse gases.
Because either we limit the warming to 1,5 degrees C over pre industrial levels, or we don’t. Either we reach a tipping point where we start a chain reaction with events way beyond human control, or we don’t. Either we go on as a civilization, or we don’t. There are no gray areas when it comes to survival.
And when I say that I want you to panic I mean that we need to treat the crisis as a crisis. When your house is on fire you don’t sit down and talk about how nice you can rebuild it once you put out the fire. If your house is on fire you run outside and make sure that everyone is out while you call the fire department. That requires some level of panic.
There is one other argument that I can’t do anything about. And that is the fact that I’m ”just a child and we shouldn’t be listening to children.” But that is easily fixed - just start to listen to the rock solid science instead. Because if everyone listened to the scientists and the facts that I constantly refer to - then no one would have to listen to me or any of the other hundreds of thousands of school children on strike for the climate across the world. Then we could all go back to school.
I am just a messenger, and yet I get all this hate. I am not saying anything new, I am just saying what scientists have repeatedly said for decades. And I agree with you, I’m too young to do this. We children shouldn’t have to do this. But since almost no one is doing anything, and our very future is at risk, we feel like we have to continue.
And if you have any other concern or doubt about me, then you can listen to my TED talk ( https://www.ted.com/…/greta_thunberg_the_disarming_…/up-next ), in which I talk about how my interest for the climate and environment began.
And thank you everyone for your kind support! It brings me hope.

Ps I was briefly a youth advisor for the board of the non profit foundation “We don’t have time”. It turns out they used my name as part of another branch of their organisation that is a start up business. They have admitted clearly that they did so without the knowledge of me or my family. I no longer have any connection to “We don’t have time”. Nor does anyone in my family. They have deeply apologised for what has happened and I have accepted their apology.
History isn’t going to be kind to the stupid cunts we currently live amongst.
Let's all prepare for the “BIG DENIALS” too when these assholes that we’ve had to put up with for the last three years suddenly deny that they were Trump fans.
A child suffering serious emotional issues is being abused in order to advance a political agenda. The left should be ashamed of itself, but that isn't possible.
But what we're being told is that an obsessive, mentally troubled young girl came to believe — mistakenly — that the apocalypse is upon us. Rather than calm these terrible fears, and redirect her in a healthier direction, the adults in her life have only encouraged her paranoia. And now the media is only too happy to exploit her fear in order to stoke even more fear. Creating fear with fear. That is the media's specialty.
This is child abuse. If any grown up in Thunberg's life really cared about her psychological and emotional well-being, they would sit her down and explain that climate change is not going to destroy human civilization. Yes, the climate is changing. Climates tend to do that. But whatever role humans play in that process, and to whatever degree, it is not going to result in the end of all life as we know it. Talk of a 10-year, or 12-year, or 20-year, timeline before planetary catastrophe is all an invention of politicians and media personalities. Scientists don't speak this way.
Anyone, especially an educated adult, who really believes that the planet will not support life in 50 years is an hysteric who shouldn't be taken seriously.
Thom you're an insulting parasite. Can't state anything without throwing insults, and you can't state anything original. Then you cry when you're not taken seriously. Then you throw more insults. Rinse and repeat. "If only people saw things my way the world would be a better place."
Trump mocks teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg
Washington(CNN) — President Donald Trump mocked Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Twitter late Monday night after the 16-year-old excoriated world leaders for not doing enough to tackle the climate crisis.
"She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!" Trump posted on Twitter, replying to a video of Thunberg's speech at the United Nations climate action summit earlier in the day.
As the rumours, lies and constant leaving out of well established facts continue, please share this newly updated clarification about me and my school strike.
Please help me communicate this to the grown ups who lie about me and family so that I can focus on school instead:
I think its high time we demand answers from the Swedish diplomatic envoy concerning their release of this feral child onto our shores. We gladly took back ASAP Rocky.. Its time we demand they reciprocate.
^I thought that China has been way ahead of the curve, when it comes to "green energy" products. They stand to make big bucks (yen?), should the World move in this direction, I suppose.
Those in power need to address that problem, if you believe that humans are part of the rising temperatures, not to mention all that toxic stuff that is infiltrating the air, water, and soil (and into the tissues of living things that depend on air, water, and/or soil to live).
>>>> would be impressed too but she can't because they would not let her in or they would throw her in jail
Yeah, its hard not to talk about climate change without addressing China and India. Can you imagine a world where all the Chinese and Indians are consuming like Americans? AC is becoming a big thing in India and its already stressing their resources bad and fueling the need for more and more energy production, which they are getting using the cheap coal the Europeans and to some extent Americans are phasing out.
India and China really to need figure things out, but the dynamic is complicated by the fact that Europe and the United States enjoyed the fruits of the industrial revolution and fossil fuels and are now telling the developing world that they shouldn't do the same. Europe and the United States have very good reasons for telling developing nations that they need to not follow them down the same path, but it needs to be done in a manner to avoid fueling the narrative of "just another rich white person telling the poor how to live."
>>^I thought that China has been way ahead of the curve, when it comes to "green energy" products. They stand to make big bucks (yen?), should the World move in this direction, I suppose.
Dude, where to start. You meant Yuan, I suppose, since Yen are the currency of Japan. But then, really, they're going around the world securing all the sketchy sources of petrol still around, so no, they're not green, either.
And for Ned's sake, it's not her yacht, so we're still waiting on the evidence of her "rich parents". Also, why don't more rich white American kids break this kind of news (ever)?
>The report points out that China has taken a lead in renewable energy and is now the world’s largest producer, exporter and installer of solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and electric vehicles.
China also has a clear lead in terms of the underlying technology, with well over 150,000 renewable energy patents as of 2016, 29% of the global total. The next closest country is the U.S., which had a little over 100,000 patents, with Japan and the E.U. having closer to 75,000 patents each.
In spite of the fact that he would attack a toddler if he felt threatened, in spite of the fact that he has attacked a grieving war widow, in spite of the fact that his face alone should be the basis for a Mount Rushmore of Assholes, perhaps you still held on to one infinitesimal shred of hope. Maybe, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, you still believed that Donald Trump wouldn’t sink so low as to mock a 16-year-old shortly after she gave an impassioned, pleading speech calling out world leaders for not even doing the bare minimum to address climate change, dooming her generation to a world of extreme weather, dire living conditions, and unpredictable disaster. But of course, you would be entirely wrong, and have learned a valuable lesson about where Trump ranks on the pond-scum-to-raw-sewage scale:
>>>>China also has a clear lead in terms of the underlying technology, with well over 150,000 renewable energy patents as of 2016
China don't need no silly patents. China is also by far the world leader in burning coal, accounting for about 50% of the world's consumption. They are starting to switch to more renewable sources, which is something they will have to do just to deal with their terrible, choking smog smothering their major cities.
And for Ned's sake, it's not her yacht, so we're still waiting on the evidence of her "rich parents". Also, why don't more rich white American kids break this kind of news (ever)?
This is true. The carbon fiber dream boat in question is owned by the Grimaldi family... the ruling family of Monaco. No doubt this is some elaborate conspiracy to control European maritime and gambling policy, but to what end?!!
Furthermore, rich, white Americans can not obtain jobs as climate activists when ocean jumpin swedes are taking their jobs at half the pay. We need to build a god damn wall for fucks sake.

Trump mocks teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg
Washington(CNN) — President Donald Trump mocked Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Twitter late Monday night after the 16-year-old excoriated world leaders for not doing enough to tackle the climate crisis.
"She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!" Trump posted on Twitter, replying to a video of Thunberg's speech at the United Nations climate action summit earlier in the day.

I think its high time we demand answers from the Swedish diplomatic envoy concerning their release of this feral child onto our shores. We gladly took back ASAP Rocky.. Its time we demand they reciprocate.

Those in power need to address that problem, if you believe that humans are part of the rising temperatures, not to mention all that toxic stuff that is infiltrating the air, water, and soil (and into the tissues of living things that depend on air, water, and/or soil to live).

Yeah, its hard not to talk about climate change without addressing China and India. Can you imagine a world where all the Chinese and Indians are consuming like Americans? AC is becoming a big thing in India and its already stressing their resources bad and fueling the need for more and more energy production, which they are getting using the cheap coal the Europeans and to some extent Americans are phasing out.
India and China really to need figure things out, but the dynamic is complicated by the fact that Europe and the United States enjoyed the fruits of the industrial revolution and fossil fuels and are now telling the developing world that they shouldn't do the same. Europe and the United States have very good reasons for telling developing nations that they need to not follow them down the same path, but it needs to be done in a manner to avoid fueling the narrative of "just another rich white person telling the poor how to live."

Dude, where to start. You meant Yuan, I suppose, since Yen are the currency of Japan. But then, really, they're going around the world securing all the sketchy sources of petrol still around, so no, they're not green, either.
And for Ned's sake, it's not her yacht, so we're still waiting on the evidence of her "rich parents". Also, why don't more rich white American kids break this kind of news (ever)?

Hey Gravy,
Hey Gravy,
I really don't know what I'm talking about, but I've heard a bit about China being ahead of the US regarding green energy products.
Forbes has an article about it from 2019-01-11 (work computer won't let me access it for a link)
I'm not arguing that they are "greener" than anyone else, but the seem to me ahead of USA in the game...

"China Is Set To Become The World's Renewable Energy Superpower, According To New Report"
https://www.forbes.com/sites/dominicdudley/2019/01/11/china-renewable-en...
>The report points out that China has taken a lead in renewable energy and is now the world’s largest producer, exporter and installer of solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and electric vehicles.
China also has a clear lead in terms of the underlying technology, with well over 150,000 renewable energy patents as of 2016, 29% of the global total. The next closest country is the U.S., which had a little over 100,000 patents, with Japan and the E.U. having closer to 75,000 patents each.

Where is it between pond scum and sewage
In spite of the fact that he would attack a toddler if he felt threatened, in spite of the fact that he has attacked a grieving war widow, in spite of the fact that his face alone should be the basis for a Mount Rushmore of Assholes, perhaps you still held on to one infinitesimal shred of hope. Maybe, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, you still believed that Donald Trump wouldn’t sink so low as to mock a 16-year-old shortly after she gave an impassioned, pleading speech calling out world leaders for not even doing the bare minimum to address climate change, dooming her generation to a world of extreme weather, dire living conditions, and unpredictable disaster. But of course, you would be entirely wrong, and have learned a valuable lesson about where Trump ranks on the pond-scum-to-raw-sewage scale:

China don't need no silly patents. China is also by far the world leader in burning coal, accounting for about 50% of the world's consumption. They are starting to switch to more renewable sources, which is something they will have to do just to deal with their terrible, choking smog smothering their major cities.

This is true. The carbon fiber dream boat in question is owned by the Grimaldi family... the ruling family of Monaco. No doubt this is some elaborate conspiracy to control European maritime and gambling policy, but to what end?!!
Furthermore, rich, white Americans can not obtain jobs as climate activists when ocean jumpin swedes are taking their jobs at half the pay. We need to build a god damn wall for fucks sake.
