vmax Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Greta took it to the U.N. today...called all of them out...everybody out..... "You come to us young people for hope. How dare you?" she thundered."You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing."We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is the money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!"She added that in her talks with leaders, she had been told that the youth were being heard and the urgency was understood."But no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that, because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil, and that I refuse to believe.".."For more than 30 years the science has been crystal clear. How dare you continue to look away?".....She noted the world's industries are rapidly burning through the budget for emissions that scientists say must be followed to avoid dire consequences, leaving only a 50% chance under the accord to stop devastating climate chain reactions.And calculations to avoid catastrophe "rely on my generation sucking hundreds of billions of tons of your CO2 out of the air with technologies that barely exist," she said. "So a 50% risk is simply not acceptable to us — we who have to live with the consequences.".....Adults lack the maturity to tell young people how it is, Thunberg added."You are failing us, but young people are starting to understand your betrayal," she said. "The eyes of all future generations are on you, and I say if you do not act, we will never forgive you. Right here, right now is where we draw the line, and change is coming, whether you like it or not."..https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/how-dare-you-greta-thunberg-asks-world-leaders-at-un/ar-AAHJbDp?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=U508DHP Edited September 23, 2019 by vmax Quote

tsylvester Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Need to be careful with the sky is falling, world is gonna end and just speak to them. Most people stop listening when ultimatums are used. Quote
Spen Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 Oh come on, anyone claiming to be dissuaded by an ultimatum in this case probably doesn't care (or believe if stupid) about the crisis. The boomer generation continues to be the worst ever and may still destroy the world (or country). Quote
