Two years ago not many people had heard of Greta Thunberg, who was still a teenager from Stockholm, Sweden who was concerned about the climate crisis. I was told to turn off the lights to save energy and to recycle paper to save resources.

Greta Thunberg hat sich am globalen Klimaprotesttag an diesem Freitag an bewährter Stelle postiert: Die Anführerin der weltweiten Klimaschutzbewegung Fridays for Future versammelte sich am Freitagmorgen gemeinsam mit einem guten Dutzend weiterer Demonstranten vor dem Parlament in Stockholm, um dort wie viele weitere Menschen in aller Welt für einen stärkeren …

In January, when speaking to the Daily Mail, rock star Meat Loaf said that he felt sorry for the activist and believed that she had been brainwashed.

For those of us who are on the spectrum, almost everything is black or white. Now is one of those moments. “If they want us to stop being angry, then maybe they should stop making us angry,” she said. Because how can we expect countries like India or Nigeria to care about the climate crisis if we who already have everything don’t care even a second about it, or our actual commitments to the Paris agreement. Thunberg’s appearances at past climate meetings have won her plaudits from some leaders — and criticism from others who’ve taken offense at the angry tone of her speeches. Even most climate scientists or green politicians keep on flying around the world, eating meat and dairy. But no. That means that rich countries need to get down to zero emissions within 6 to 12 years with today’s emission speed. Bis Ende November ist Greta Thunbergs kleine Schwester dann als junge Edith Piaf zu sehen und zu hören – an der Seite ihrer Mutter, die die ältere Version der Piaf verkörpern wird.

I sat myself down on the ground outside the Swedish parliament. Yet, as the IPCC have recently demonstrated, aming instead for 1.5 degrees Celsius would significantly reduce the climate impacts. We become the bad guys who have to tell people these uncomfortable things, because no one else wants to or dares to. The yacht leaves little or no carbon footprint when its sails are up, using solar panels and hydro-generators for electricity. “Change is on the horizon, but to see that change we also have to change ourselves.”, At home, Thunberg persuaded her parents to swear off air travel and stop eating meat. Of course you could argue that we should go for a more risky pathway, such as the alternative of 580 gigatons of CO2 from january 1st 2018, which gives us a 50/50 percent chance of limiting the global temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees. Either we go on as a civilization or we don’t.”. Thunberg said she planned to spend several days in the Portuguese capital before heading to Madrid, where delegates from nearly 200 countries are discussing how to tackle global warming. Earlier this year a now-legendary moment occurred on Celebrity Mastermind when the actor Amanda Henderson, thought that Thunberg was called 'Sharon.' The official national assembly website.

Usually, people search for this Greta’s speech using following keywords: I have some good news and some bad news regarding the climate emergency.

By then, I will in the best case, not even have lived half of my life. And then we might no longer be able to undo the irreversible climate breakdown. Since the summer, tens of thousands of students in nearly 300 towns and cities from Australia to Uganda to the U.S. to Japan have joined her #FridaysForFuture protest. You don’t have to listen to us, but you do have to listen to the United science, the scientists. She hasn’t done anything wrong, but she’s been forced into thinking that what she is saying is true. Wir kriegen sie kaum zu Gesicht. And because you have ignored these facts, because you and pretty much all of the media to this very minute, keep ignoring them, people do not know what is going on.

75 Jahre Geschichte. This speech is know as “save the world by changing the rules” speech or Greta TEDx Speech. Because if we were and if it was really happening we wouldn’t be talking about anything else. Today, she is still a teenager from Stockholm, Sweden who is concerned about the climate crisis but in those 24 months she has gone from a schoolgirl to a leading voice on the subject of climate change, has appeared on magazine covers, met world leaders, had books published and gave an iconic speech at the United Nations. Some people say that I should study to become a climate scientist so that I can “solve” the climate crisis. Some people say that I should be in school instead. No one is acting as if we were in a crisis. That basically means I only speak when I think it is necessary. I fell into depression. Some people say that Sweden is just a small country and that it doesn’t matter what we do. Especially when it comes to the sustainability crisis, where everyone keeps saying that climate change is an existential threat and the most important issue of all. To me that is black or white. And it has to start today. And yes, we do need hope, of course we do.
