Climate Activist Greta Thunberg Delivers Fierce Speech Before French Parliament | NowThis 

Well Said!

@discorperted well we'll, look who showed up to muddy the waters. What a surprise ?

Finland study says climate change is a hoax

@@mossbergshockwave9629 do you have proof of this "Finland study"?

Neither will give up anything that causes climate change.

@discorperted I don't imagine that she comes up with this on the night before, obviously you must work on something like this like everyone's who do a speech BUT you must still stand in front of those people and deliver it and that's not an easy thing to do.

@discorperted why even watch the video if you are just going to keep your head buried in the sand, you are just a fool that refuses to listen to facts, you are just a troll trying to start trouble, so pathetic, especially when we knew all of this was coming down on us long long ago, if you refuse to learn from history you are doomed to repeat it

discorperted None of the dems want open border, contrary to fox news’ viewers.

Written by a political party for financial gain

RedTalulips - LOL

That orange dipshit thinks climate change is a myth

He'd just attack her via twitter like he does to everyone.

you think trump is going to listen or even allow her to make a speech in the rose garden? prince Charlers tried to have "the talk" with that ignorant man child. Didn't work. If a rich privileged white guy cant get through to that sociopathic malignant narcissist he wouldnt listen to a child. the best resction you could hope for from trump was him thinking she is cute and saying something appalling like "in 7 years thats gonna be my girlfriend". wouldnt be the first time he said that about a child her age. smdh

I like to stretch a coin purse

Don simply cannot wrap his head around altruism; prince Charles showed us that

and once the world is on fire, they'll act as though they were always talking about the threat known as climate change.

Moon Be Fly they will say it is the dem’s fault!

There's nothing to deny. You're morons. We just laugh at you.

Jeff Keil lol any proof to why climate change doesn’t exist

Allison I sometimes wish I was as dumb as Jeff: no sorrows, just living and doing your very own thing! 🤪

@Ms. Molly 😂😂😂😂 By the people who coined the concept of "alternative facts" and consider that 97% of actual climate professors are partisan and wrong when they say there's a global warming crisis, that's not just rich, it's priceless ! 🤣🤣🤣

Yes but it also happens on the other side of the aisle. A few weeks ago a California Congressmen proclaimed that because of Moore’s Law we can achieve 100% solar in 15 years in the USA. Unfortunately it appears that the Senator doesn’t understand what Moore’s Law is, as: 1. Moore’s Law applies only to semiconductors in very specific circumstances 2. Moore’s Law is not an actual scientific law- it’s a historical trend 3. Moore’s Law is unlikely to remain true through the rest of this decade.

SHEISTER CAM She identifies the problem, great we’ve known about the problem for literally 50+ years. Time to find a solution. Ironically her own speech illustrates an issue she discussed about worrying about grand gestures with no action. Her entire speech nor any of her speeches have ever identified a single scientific proposal on energy transitions. Instead of actually research scientific solutions she has demanded that politicians come up with a solution, even though historically politicians have never done this. The Montreal Protocol was not created because politicians got in a room and determined the best case solution. They consulted with scientists who gave them data for what is necessary and then and only then did politicians get to together agree with the scientific proposal and proceed with the solution. Why on earth are we expecting politicians to come up with an answer, when they have historically never done so and to be frank are really not qualified to come up with a legitimate solution. Why does she never reference scientific studies on actual solutions? This is part of the problem with things like the GND. That’s a politicians plan, and it is NOT in agreement with really any scientific study published to date. ZERO scientific studies on energy transitions support a full scale energy transition in 10 years- you know why? Because the timeframe is not feasible based on historical and maximum theoretical installation rates, manufacturing capacity, sustainable innovation, technological readiness, barriers to entry etc.

anyone who calls another a "Denyer of climate change" is dumber than pocket lint. Climate is what is around you. You can't deny what is. Climate has to change, because or topography changes and therefor climate changes. No amount of whining will stop it.

The good ones came to listen to Greta. Those with rotten hearts did not.

I agree. They clap and think they understand the severity of our situation but they most likely do not. They would not be clapping if they did. They would be crying. We will all die within 100 years if nothing drastic happens to help the planet and the climate crisis.

... The audience was caught off guard, and didn't quite know how to react ...

If they'll be allowed to even be candidates by the time they can run for public office.

If the world still exists as we know it then

I hope you are correct but I suspect the right wing are busy convincing their children that ignorance is a virtue. Those children will grow up too.

Yes, gen z etc are more conservative. The left are finished.

Generic Emo How?

Hahahah Comedy at its finest

A problem is science is not aligned on one conclusion. There are different claims and You may have to study yourself to make up your mind about what you prefer to believe is the proper picture. Greta is dead sure the IPCC has it right and is betting everything she has on it. A wise strategy is to study every school of thought and not just uncritically believe that there is an overarching set of *facts* regarding climate change that science is united around.

It does. They have not been brainwashed and corrupted yet.

@@parajacks4 no the opposite is what I meant. When I said "they" I meant the child not the Gov. Greta has not been corrupted or lobbied yet like the Gov has. And I an not a creationist....that's infantile!

waxed link I apologise your right. I totally misunderstood you. I’ll delete my comment

@@parajacks4 that's ok, you were spot on with your points if I took the other side.

@@robertmartins5555 yeah too much education and science and not enough ideology and ignorance....

Better start adoption process

Not a good time to have kids. 😬

@@Galactic_Galactic89 I agree

I am saving this so your boy knows why he was named Greta. ;)

mongo puppetchild put on news to push taxes? nice name.

a j What levels of irony are you even on A J?

@@jihadityrone2197 there will be no peace for marginalized people until the white question has a solution

a j I’m progressive and an anarchist, but what you are advocating is no sort of solution to anything.

Jacob Mo-Middilly-Morin don’t answer him. He’s spamming this racist bigotry on all the comments. He’s clearly deeply disturbed. And that’s coming from someone who occasionally is impacted by racism (mostly by whites)

@@aj-pr9rj also dude, you're just wrong, early hominids... when there were such things as sub humans, interbred to get the sophisticated DNA that we all, of all colors, enjoy today. So, interbreeding and love of each other, love of life, love of diversity always wins on this planet dear.

Daniel Adshead. Luckily she is not alone in her desire to keep to the scientific facts. Economists rarely have an understanding of ecology, and they try to put a monetary value on nature which no one has a right to do. The Fossil fuel industry knows they can only procrastinate their demise.

On a side note: Tribalists do not want a " World " government. Extremists are now rebelling against the United Nations efforts. Still I have hope, 99% of the human population will do the right thing.

You mean the new progressives that can't even tell if they're boys or girls? Lol!

Jeff Keil nice one, you very stable genius

You know where the target bathroom is

@@zeBorat420 hey Einstein....am I wrong? Haaaaaaaaa!

@@jeffkeil1595 this video is about climate change, which affects everyone including you, and you're trying to make it about someone else's gender, which doesn't affect you at all. Smoke and mirrors, anyone?

They're fruit, he won't understand that. Try berders and fries.

Person, woman, man, camera, TV 😭

Both sides

@@JamesCraigWhoop There isn't a "both sides" to science, really. There's a right and a wrong, and both of those lines have long been drawn. Everything we see today is evidence that climate change is real. Stop trying to play the clueless centrist on a literal life-or-death scenario and maybe people would be willing to believe you.

I’d like to know the number of people that would be thrown into crushing poverty as a result of “green” policy. This is a power grab by governments across the world.

@@Misesian86 And not talk about the new jobs that would replace frankly worker unfriendly ones like coal mining that are already being automated as we speak?

squib !!! New jobs are meaningless if you put arbitrary limits on emissions. If you limit emissions, you limit human progress and quality of life. Job creation is just political rhetoric for getting votes.

same. I’m on my 20’s and decided that I will only adopt children who need a home but not have my own while I see no trustworthy progress from politicians or people in a whole towards our future.

You are a few fries short of a happy meal

Went to high school with a flat earther. Really freakin stubborn guy. -_-

Paul C. I read in New Scientist years ago " about 52% of science teachers in US high schools do not have a science degree". One in five US citizens still think the Moon landings were fake?

Drew Stevenson You do realize that the Apollo program was extremely risk to such an extent that if that program was attempted today we likely would’ve canceled many of the launches. The astronauts back then weren’t even engineers or scientists, their official job title according to NASA was literally test pilot. Furthermore comparing the space race to a continental energy transition is unbelievably naive, and demonstrates a complete lack of understanding many of the challenges facing multiple industries for change. Should we pursue an energy transition? Yes, but it would be incredibly reckless to pursue a transition in a similar fashion as the space race and likely would not be possible with our existing regulations.

Nick Adams way better than trump facts

Rolf Jander I dig. I only meant that I would gladly take an intelligent teenager over the obese orange ghoul we’re stuck with at present.

Rolf Jander Thanks, mate. It’s a bloody nightmare.

Nick Adams. I am am sure there are many US citizens who can equal Greta's integrity and wisdom. Time will tell. Kudos to this young woman!

YES! ASAP

She has already acknowledged talking to Mr Trump would be a waste of time. She is wise.

TheSaltLakers. Wall Street types buy penthouses for another reason....😉

That's awesome. I try really hard to be a vegetarian at least but it is extremely difficult for me to do when I live in a household full of omnivores. Really good on you though. 👏

I wish the Indians' concept of "waste no part of the animal" survived to modern times.

Instant Viral. Tesla is the only multi billion dollar company that has a 100% sustainable ethos and future plan, which is working. Even against the fossil fuel campaigns to try to discredit their efforts.

Are you suggesting the Earths climate is static? Are you suggesting that in its entire existence the Earth has not experienced any cooling trends leading to ice ages? Nor warming trends leading to tropical conditions at the poles? Are you suggesting that even in the few hundred years humans have been gathering data on climactic conditions that graphs representing that data are flat lines ? Have you even bothered to look at any of that data? Do yourself a favor and have a look at some of the data before you make yourself look trumpish again with your foolish comments.

@@honouryourvomit I looked at all data. The weather service KNMI in the Netherlands took out a lot of very hot days in the past. Last week it was the hottest day ever in the Netherlands, but there for it was in the year 1944, so 1,5 degrees in 75 years. And of course we have to do something, but plant tree's and stop killing the Amazon rainforest. But earth Will do what is necessary for it's self

@@honouryourvomit and I don't think that you are a Donald trump fan 😂🤣😂

@@honouryourvomit so you think that mass immigration is good ???? TRUMP is protecting his own country, GO TRUMP 👊🇺🇸🇳🇱👊

Okey the thing about climate change is that it does it's own thing as long as we don't interupt with it. When we talk about climate change we usually talk about the climate change we can do something about. That's (here it goes) not the same thing as the natural climate change. It's a big diference.

global warming is just nature, the simple fact is, the planet has been warming since the last ice-age, environmental damage is a real issue, but as for CO2, its not really a issue.

@@mrsmith3297 The problem is that our actions are speeding up effects of bizarre weather patterns. Places that are normally very cold like Alaska, experienced 90°F weather a little while ago. In my region, the lobster and seafood industry used to be huge. Now many species of fish are moving further north because the water is too warm for them. Even if you don't believe in climate change, you should still understand that being environmentally conscious is important regardless. We have to be more responsible with our energy sources, how we dispose of waste, and examine legislation. We know that large-scale exposure to the burning of coal can cause breathing problems. We know that our current system is not adapted to handle all of our waste production, which is why several Western nations shipped waste to Southeast Asian nations. And so on. Not trying to sound rude.

@@tulp_graphics i'm in the field full of plants that grown twice a big because of the extra carbon and water in the atmosphere

@@mrsmith3297 Sounds very scientific indeed.

@@Cindy99765 Very well put.

davedalessandro8189 Dalessandro. We need to do both. Economists insist on " Unlimited growth" but we have finite resources. So space suits that flawed mantra. Fossil fuel companies can only slow the changes needed.

Ryan Ehrhart7. The solution does not rest solely on any individual or administration. Billionaires and corporations could follow the model set up by Tesla energy. First do no harm. Profits will still happen just from different sources.

@Veri Fy 41.5°C in Germany! Did so-called scientists like Watts (no degree) or Monckton (literature) tell you to write a dumb post? Earth is warming whether you deny it or not.

difference is our echo chamber has science in it.

last chance. Kudos! A trillion more please. Every nation needs to allow reclamation of habitats, humans can live underground or in sky scrapers.

Mouth of Porrima are you a scientist? I didn't know it was yet possible to predict the future. I don't think you understand the effects of climate change ahah. Research.

Dorothy Gene you dare to scoff at such a future? An ignorant response as it lies, without doubt, just beyond the horizon. The Anthropocene has damaged the world irreparably for humans. Even with current technology, we are doomed. There is nothing to be done to save us. Positive feedbacks are already in effect, dangerous ones - consider pockets of poisonous gas that will warm the earth even more that lies under the Arctic; the arctic will be ice free in five years. If we are lucky. What will the dark ocean beneath the ancient reflective ice do with all of the suns energy? I wonder and hope it doesn’t warm the ocean more. That’s not even considering the gases underneath the permafrost in Alaska, Russia, or the ANTARCTIC - and each of these places are all melting at an “alarming” rate. Not to mention the breakup of the jet stream, the inevitable dying of the ocean and it’s acidification, and the increase of extreme weather events - 500 year storms happening every year as has been the case, wildfires and droughts, flood rains and heatwaves that will cook you from the inside out because your sweat will do nothing to cool your body when the weather outside is an oven. did you know we almost got hit by a giant meteor the other day? But, carry on. Deny deny deny and live and love while you can, like I said. It’s all we can do now.

Litterly everything. Lol

Nothing could go wrong
