The Disarming Case To Act Right Now On Climate Change
We’ve had 30 years of pep talking and selling positive ideas, and I’m sorry, but it doesn’t work because if it would have, the emissions would have gone down by now. They haven’t.
Greta Thunberg says it like it is. She’s a high school student from Sweden, speaking truth to global power. If you haven’t heard, she’s been skipping school to protest for action on climate.
“Some people say that I should be in school instead. Some people say that I should study to become a climate scientist so that I can solve the climate crisis. But the climate crisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions. All we have to do is to wake up and change. Why should I be studying for a future that soon will be no more, when no one is doing anything whatsoever to save that future? And what is the point of learning facts in this school system when the most important facts given by the finest science of that same school system clearly means nothing to our politicians and our society.”
