"People tell me I should be in school, learning how to be a climate scientist, learning facts, but why should I go to school to learn facts when the most important facts by the most educated climate scientists are ignored by politicians and society?" She keeps it real. Thank you, Greta!
Dear Greta, Climate will change as it always has done and will do , if you go go school or not. Inform yourself about the geological history of the Earth . Think about it!!! Var rädd om dig!
Nope. Kids must learn again how to love the nature. And not being indoctrinated by lies, like co2 and all that kind of nonsense. Science has been politicized, that is a fact that should be teached.
@@ykalon Yes climate change is real but not caused by humans but by the sun. And all those scientists who speak otherwise are payed by politicians. The only goal is to take money out of our pockets.
and then mahatma said:Tax the poor and the working man, so they can,t afford a car ,a house ,meat ,holydays and children,then concentrate them in urban shitholes and total surveillance via digitalisation shall come over them,make city for them a prison and turn nature in to a museum where you can look but not touch.

Felt so helpless for her, knowing even with the end of speech and the applauses, perhaps a majority would have just continued with the usual life as soon as they get home.
Don´t we all... The point here is that we are waiting for someone trigger some sense to all of us so we can say " ah yeah this climate change is real and we´re messing things up". Still after some days we do nothing cuz we feel we are no one to make any difference. We need to stop thinking about it. We REALLY need to stop thinking and start acting.
Greta is an autistic prophet. The best and wisest leaders are depressed neurotic autistic teens. Greta Thunberg for supreme chancellor of the world...All hail Greta Thunberg
THE most important ted talk, why? Because as she said, if a problem is so grave that it threatens our own existence then everybody should be talking about it and nothing else until it's addressed. But that would only happen if we were as smart as she is but sadly we are not which is why our long term survival as a species is extremely slim at best.
Dude, hearing from a child saying why have you done this to us, crushes the soul... We love you Greta, stand up for all the scientists afraid of speaking...
@@rockyshorz3193 She is the bearer of the torch of life, she has incorporated the whole planet and all it's beings into her heart, she is what people from the far future could be like if by some miracle we manage to rise up to the challenge of the Anthropocene, the greatest extinction level event in all of earths history, we are more powerful than the meteor that killed the dinosaurs but should we use all our power to potentiate and protect life we would have a future spanning millions of years and have achieved eternal glory in the eye of the universe!
From my ❤️ Greta!!! I Love you too!!! Now someone please tell my why woman aren't running the world!?!? They function thru their ❤️'s & not their oversized egos!!!! Please all of you young Ladies (teenagers especially) make it your goal to get the education necessary to displace ALL of the egoistical men in poloitics!! Don't do it for this 63 year old mam!!! Do it for your sisters & brothers & then for yourself!!! Good Luck to you & your long future!!! And in your 75th 🌈☀️🎂🍰🍧 may sit with your loving family....especially your children & grandchildren!!!☮️❤️😊
To those people here commenting about her looks, language she is speaking, breath I think the purpose of you here looking at this video is to get the points and listen to her speech. She is brave to be able to stand on the stage to face so many audience. So stop criticizing her.
TED is so bad. Emotional presentation. How on earth can anyone listen to this girl and applaud and then drive home and fly to Thailand for vacation? So pathetic - I am talking about the audience. I think this girl has promise even though she is extremely annoying. She thinks she knows, but does not. I don't find her handicap cute. She should study and find ways to find new energy. Not talk to rich people who get their companies to pay 1,000 dollars to attend a TED conference
She is crying out for help. So many living things are crying out for help. We cannot ignore them. How can we ignore them? Thank you, Greta. Please keep talking about climate change--and acting to change things.
She is repeating a well rehearsed spiel developed by some unscrupulous adult(s), designed to indoctrinate the young with extremely anti-science ideas and nonsense, much like a cult. They should be deeply ashamed. It's unlikely that she understands that there hasn't been any statistically significant global warming in her entire lifetime.
Rebeccarebelli According to my calculations my carbon footprint is about 55lb/day from electricity (25lb of that is to charge my electric car, for 60mi/day), and 13lb/day from meat, if I eat the way I “want” to. So skipping the meat will certainly do a lot of good, but can you perhaps explain where my calculation is wrong or how you came up with 51%?
Reducing emissions would have massive costs and do little good, because the natural CO2 absorption (by oceans, land etc) to return to preindustrial levels will take more than 100,000 years... So it seems to me, what we should be doing is invest in research for carbon sink technologies and other similar directions -- not bankrupt entire economies while yelling fire.
Josieloveselephants Not everyone - because of talks like these, I am now almost vegan, I have stopped using plastic water bottles and plastic bags, I have started a second compost pot and I try to use renewable energy when I can. (And I’m 14 - still under my dad’s roof/rules) But yeah, most people just move on and it’s sad. But the only thing you can change is what you do: what have you changed? What can you change? What will you change? Please tell me... (Btw I love your profile pic, Dodie!! 🏳️🌈💜)
One of the scariest moments in my life was when I realised that adults weren’t as smart as I’d thought. I slipped into depression as well, because I felt like nobody cared about issues because if they did, they would’ve been fixed. As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned about activism and campaigning. I’m now running for the youth parliament in my country, and I’m getting involved in public transport campaigns and now this one too. Keep fighting, you’re inspiring others to fix these issues.
To those who think "If the planet is doomed tf am I in school for?!", it is exactly what you're in school for. Not only because that would cultivate more scientists and engineers that are capable of understanding the issues and continuing to improve the solutions, but also because school would spread correct information which is the reason young kids know better than many older people and support Greta's point. So use her shouts as an inspiration to work harder, not as an excuse to be lazy or to blame everything on others. It is a progress, and it will only progress if everyone takes up responsibility they're capable of.
THIS GIRL CAME FROM SWEDEN ALL THE WAY TO BRUSSELS WITH THE TRAIN THAT IS RIGHT SHE REFUSED TO TAKE A PLANE OR A CAR CAUSE ITS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT! IT TOOK HER MAYBE 1 DAY ! 👏👏👏

Well, cats cannot build concentration camps but before they kill mice they injure them and then enjoy watching them suffering. Mice and rats are commonly used for "scientific purposes" by cosmetic companies. I believe a lot of vegan ladies use their products.
@@peterbajgar5727 Please, I beg of you don't even joke about that. If a person is Vegan they probably care about animals which means they're not going to want to be responsible for directly killing one. People are susceptible to thinking they can force their pet onto their diet, but cats are of course obligate carnivores. Nobody needs more tragedies in their life.
Dear my lovely Greta! As a gen Z like you, I fully understand your worries and frighten when thinking about the future of our world - the future where you and I have to live in for the next 50 years - because I always worried about it too. If I was there, I want to give you a hug. I know many people said that the world problems are more complicated and only a speech from an angry girl can't make any impacts. But from the bottom of my heart, I really appreciate your courage to speak up for our generation. You deserve more empathy rather than the criticism. Thanks to your speech, I've taken actions to save our environment by donating 10% of my monthly salary to cultivate trees in the National Parks in Vietnam and I promise to do this from now on to the rest of my life. Thank you for encouraging me to accomplish my duty with our Mother Earth!! 1000 applaud to you!!!
Yet, it's often the only thing they do. My friends went to the protest, right before that they bought meat and a to-go-cup of coffee. It hurts to see how disconnected people are from their actions and the consequences.

As a Pacific islander i cried. My ancestors been living on these islands for thousands of years. I come from an island just a few feet above sea level. We rely 100% on what we grow. Our high tides are becoming more frequent & more damaging. The taro is our main staple food along with breadfruit & bananas, but now most of our taro patches are becoming salinated because salt water is seeping into our underground water lenses making our only main source of fresh water salty. Fewer fish is also a major issue. Long droughts & frequent storms killing people, livestock & destroying farms. I thank this young women for speaking on such issue. ❤️
Unfortunately for you, those who don’t experience the issue face to face will turn a blind eye to this. Their thinking is “That doesn’t concern me.” This is the uphill battle for you, your people and all those who goes through the same threat, like Greta. Big oil and energy will not bend.
Blame the Sun or move, stop blaming people so you can sit and whinge about it. Humans are incredibly adaptable otherwise they wouldn't be on every continent on the planet.
"Definitely deserves the Nobel prize in my opinion." The Nobel Foundation should create a new prize for acting against the climate crisis ;) "But it's also really sad that it's the kids who need to lead the change." Well, it is their future and not the 73yr-old Mr.Trump's
Climate experts will tell you that having children is the worst thing you can do to the environment so the irony of this little girl complaining about her own future when, by her own logic, she is the reason there may not be one is astounding.
@@sburgos9621 You should base your logic on the huge amount of signs and "evidence" about climate change and pollution, instead of basing your logic on what some climate experts said. Which climate experts would those be anyway? And how would two parents having 2 kids be the worst thing you can do to the environment? Especially if that family is going to great ends to show awareness about the crisis of climate change. By your logic, everyone should stop having kids and we should just all wait to die off and go extinct. Although it would solve the problem, who would ever agree to that?
What about what we hear about the govt pushed electric cars and the lithium dug from the earth for batteries for electric cars? Isn't the rain forest the source for this? What about all the electric batteries that will be produced for the govt pushed electric transportation? Seems more environmental damaging to produce more of these batteries for the electric car push it seems! What about what we hear of the lithium sourced from the rain forest....where are the activist? ... What about the emissions and extra steps taken to remanufacture recycled products versus producing new products....? What about we have heard about the recycling programs that we hear are being dumped in Haiti causing terrible environmental living conditions? What about the govt pushed solar panel programs ripping beautiful agriculture land away where animals lived, crops were grown, and leaving these panels all over the land may be putting poisions / chemicals into the ground? What about the low income homes being built on rural, once crop grown and where animals lived happily ripping ag land away to build cookie cutter concrete homes that are left delapitaded and the ag land too esxpensive to regrow crops again. What about overload of electricity being generated for electric transportation? What about all the fuel used to import products from China versus manufacturing them witgin our own country? The list goes on and on gal. Most of these causes are from govt pushed programs it seems.

Alberto Scatto but only if you eat local produce - eating exotic fruits and vegetables that have to be transported across the world in refrigerated containers is also damaging - so tell me, how sustainable is a vegan lifestyle when you have to live off of locally grown foods?

Focus on the important thing here: How are we going to tackle this challenge as a species? This is not something that will be solved by a single person but a challenge for us all.

Even three years after her talking about this specific problem it is not enough done by the politicians to save these islanders. Scientists are still concerned about it and not just Greta’s generation but the whole society is still demonstrating every Friday and constantly making people aware of climate change and its consequences. I think it is good to remind each other about how this whole movement once started and follow Greta on her mission to not save the planet, but to try to change people's opinion. To keep doing that and pick up the conversation about it, I would like to ask people that are watching this video even 3, 4 or 5 years after it has been published, what you guys think could be done to make the change possible and what has been done that really improved our situation? I'm looking forward to a good conversation that will last for years.
*The truth of the matter is, we already know what we've got to do.* But our lives are just too comfortable, and sacrifice is hard to make. THAT IS THE MAIN PROBLEM. *That is why no one has done anything because it requires SACRIFICE.* We've got to give something up to do something for a country in need, or the world, but humankind finds it just too hard.

USA doesn't need to reduce emissions. Co2 is 1/3rd of photo synthesis, increased Co2 means increased availability for the proliferation of bio mass, more bio mass means more food, more energy and what isn't consumed, is sequestered and becomes.. you guessed it, Oil.
For most people, switching your car to an EV, and switching your electricity to renewable sources, reduces your pollution footprint by over 90%. That's an effective action!
@@deepzzzleep3575 It's considerably less than the pollution from oil. There is no perfect solution, but EVs are vastly less polluting than internal combustion.
In all of the climate change debate, this is the one argument which infuriates me. Look into it just a bit deeper and it becomes obvious that the opposite is true. Meat (ruminant meat, more specifically) is calorie dense and contains everything that is essential for humans to live. Ruminant animal meat is mostly dealt with in local/regional markets. (i.e.- less global scale shipping and all associated emissions). When grown in its natural state (i.e.- grazed and not factory farmed), it creates a rather natural cycle with the land it grazes on. Given all the land we dedicate for grain crop growth, we could easily switch over to a system of responsible ruminant animal farming that is sustainable.Vegetable and grain crops are much less calorie/nutrient dense (i.e.- you need more grams of it to sustain life). Vegetable and grain consumption increases the number of bowel movements in humans (i.e.- a greater stress on our infrastructure and water management systems). And the vegetable and grain markets are massive in scale (i.e.- large swaths of land are razed. Massive amounts of water are used. Natural ecosystems are displaced, and very large numbers of insects and small animals are killed. Pesticides, even organic ones, are relied upon to grow the plants but pollute the environment. These crops are shipped all across the world, increasing emissions. Massive amounts of crops never make it to market, because they don't appear picture perfect. Most of the grain crops are used as the backbone of the processed food markets, which are deleterious to human health. Further, processed foods require factories for processing and all the associated emissions and energy usage.)As for the health aspects of veganism vs meat eating, once you equalize for life style (i.e.- taking smoking, drinking, and processed food consumption into account), one does not appear to be any healthier than the other in a statistical sense. As for the idea that vegetables and grains are required for health, this is hotly debated topic at the moment...with much of the data leaning towards carnivore diets being mechanistically healthier for humans.The point here is, 'going vegan' to help the environment doesn't make any logical sense. It seems to me that vegans are proselytizing and adjoining themselves with climate activists with cherry picked, poorly constructed studies to further their stated position of being morally correct.
A single cow is fed for years and then killed for food. What can feed more people, one cow or several years' worth of crops that we're need to raise the cow? It's so obvious that veganism is far far far far more efficient at feeding people and we can reduce agricultural land by 70%. A cow eats more than a person
"Act", being the key word in this case. Greta put on a great performance driven into her psyche by a bunch of One World Govt activists wanting to control the world. Child abuse is what this performance demonstrated, nothing else.
What did anyone in that audience do to change the rules. My guess is nothing. Applause for a little girl is self absorbed and patronizing unless you follow her lead and do something.
Ray Bretzloff Krampus amen! Enough of liberal elites patting themselves on the back for agreeing with her and giving her a standing ovation - what do they do when they leave the hall? Do what she told you to do, otherwise it’s just self-congratulation and self-righteousness. I love that Greta lives by her values.
Areliagh Where does it say they shouldn’t applaud? Your understanding of my point is narrow. I explicitly say that liberal elites enjoy feeling good when they applaud what they believe is virtuous, but once they leave the venue there’s no real action on their part. Greta highlights this too. So of course they should/can applaud, but their action is more important than anything else. Liberal elites love applauding the right causes, but that’s usually where it stops. I’m a Vegan, for a start. We recycle 90% of our waste. We reuse as much water as we can. Our entire garden consists of succulents that don’t require much water at all. 1 of our 2 cars is green. We’re almost completely paperless in our home. You?
