Greta Thunberg, my real life super hero

The earth has enough for every man's need, but not for every mans greed. - Gandhi https://greta-thunberg-hero.blogspot.com Humans have behaved so arrogantly antagonistic to the rest of the entire biome, we deserve everything that we are gonna get.

This morning, Swedish young climate activist Greta Thunberg, 16, has once again given a rousing speech on the climate crisis to defend schoolchildren who went on strike last week. The teenager opened a European Commission event in front of President Jean-Claude Juncker where she told politicians to stop ‘sweeping their mess under the carpet for our generation to clean up’. Immediately after the event, Greta Thunberg was invited to a press conference. This video has her statements at the press conference. Greta, from Sweden, defended the hundreds of thousands of children who took part in global school strikes saying: ‘If you say we are wasting valuable lesson time, let me remind you, our political leaders have wasted decades through denial and inaction and since our time is running out we have started to take action.’

Internationally renowned climate activist Greta Thunberg and acclaimed writer Jo Nesbo take the Worldview Address slot. Thunberg and Nesbo discuss the creative industry’s responsibility towards sustainability and a greener future; whether there should be emphasis on a storyteller’s role to highlight the climate crisis and how we can all affect change. Navdip Dhariwal hosts the conversation between the pair. As a young adult author I try my best to depict the climate crisis in my novels, mainly focusing on the solution. It is very important to get the word out that we are not helpless and there are a million things we can do.

It's been three years since Greta Thunberg first sat alone outside the Swedish Parliament to call for action on climate change. Now the young activist has become a global voice, continuing to hold world leaders to account on global warming. Six months after President Biden took office, is he doing enough? “This administration is not ready to act as seriously as we need, unfortunately,” Greta Thunberg tells NBC’s Mehdi Hasan.  “I don’t want you to hope for the future. I want you to panic.” - Greta Thunberg 2019 In 2021 there are still way too many people in charge telling lies just so they can go back to sleep. Its a problem that so many grownups act like children. "The dog ate my climate legislation! " I the span of 2 years we went from having 30 years to having 20. So looking around you at people who won’t get vaccinated… how much time do we really have to pull this together? She’s more optimistic than I.

Greta Thunberg says the UK need to stop claiming to be a 'climate leader' ahead of the COP26 summit. She says the reports the UK government publish saying they are reducing emissions are not including emissions from travel and trade. Ms Thunberg was responding to a recent UNICEF report that says almost half the world's children are living in countries classed as being at extremely high risk of climate change impacts. When I was in my late teens growing up in the Great Britain we heard about climate change and the need for change by our government’s I’m 51 now 52 in November and still waiting for governments around the world to change especially in the G20 , and especially China and India in the growing economies with some of the biggest problems with emissions in the world along with the USA

Calling for “massive” pressure to fight climate change after a dire report by the UN science panel on Monday, activist Greta Thunberg said she plans to go to this year’s global climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland. The deadly heat waves, gargantuan hurricanes and other weather extremes that are already happening will only become more severe, the United Nations panel on climate change told the world on Monday, reporting that global warming was dangerously close to being out of control – and that humans were “unequivocally” to blame. Referring to a recent spate of extreme weather events, Thunberg said: "These are all just symptoms of the climate crisis. We're not talking about the root cause itself, the things that are actually fuelling these events. And we are not holding people in power accountable." “I hope that this can be a wake up call,” Thunberg said of the report, in an interview. We value money above all else ( including survival ). It’s all about the fish, t...

For the first time, Der Tagesspiegel, DIE ZEIT, Handelsblatt and WirtschaftsWoche invited to a joint start of the year »Europe 2021« to discuss which homework we urgently need to tackle in Europe in the next demanding year 2021 - from strengthening democracy, the digital sovereignty of the continent and a common European internal market until our climate protection goals are met in the year of the UN climate conference in Glasgow. She told the European Economic and Social Committee plenary session that “we are school striking because we have done our homework” on the dangers facing the Earth.

'I've been told telling people about the climate crisis is a very dangerous thing to do' Greta Thunberg speaks at Davos 2020. “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 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!

"You have stolen my childhood and my dreams with your empty words," Thunberg said at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York.

Environmental activists Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot have helped produce a short film highlighting the need to protect, restore and use nature to tackle the climate crisis. Living ecosystems like forests, mangroves, swamps and seabeds can pull enormous quantities of carbon from the air and store them safely, but natural climate solutions currently receive only 2% of the funding spent on cutting emissions. The film’s director, Tom Mustill of Gripping Films, said: 'We tried to make the film have the tiniest environmental impact possible. We took trains to Sweden to interview Greta, charged our hybrid car at George’s house, used green energy to power the edit and recycled archive footage rather than shooting new.' "What you do counts": what you don't do counts as well. YES! “There’s a magic machine that takes carbon out of the atmosphere, costs very little, and builds itself. It’s called...a tree!” It’s maddening trying to emphasize this to people who are so c...

Ed Markey thanked the 16-year-old activist for her advice and her activism, which has gained worldwide attention by inspiring a series of protests and school strikes, including one set for Friday. Thunberg and other young activists bring "moral clarity" to the fight against global warming, Markey said. "We hear you," he told her, vowing that lawmakers "will redouble our efforts to make sure that we inject this issue into the politics of this building and this country because time is running out." What daft questio...

Greta Thunberg is the revolutionary every individual, every state, every country, & the whole world needs. All other problems are trivially unimportant compared to what climate soldiers like Greta Thunberg fight for. Firstly I love Greta. Secondly, what blows my mind is how much negativity and criticism she has received from greedy, hateful politicians. It's honestly disturbing. When I listen to her speak I'm moved to tears.

15 year old activist Greta Thunberg speaks truth to power at the UN COP24 climate talks: "My name is Greta Thunberg. I am 15 years old. I am from Sweden. I speak on behalf of Climate Justice Now. Many people say that Sweden is just a small country and it doesn't matter what we do. But I've learned you are never too small to make a difference. And if a few children can get headlines all over the world just by not going to school, then imagine what we could all do together if we really wanted to. But to do that, we have to speak clearly, no matter how uncomfortable that may be. You only speak of green eternal economic growth because you are too scared of being unpopular. You only talk about moving forward with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible thing to do is pull the emergency brake. You are not mature enough to tell it like is. Even that burden you leave to us children. But I don't care about being popular. I care about cl...
