| 1 | i think that |
| 2 | actually everything i've experiencedover these last few months... |
| 3 | is like being in a dream... |
| 4 | ...or in a movie. |
| 5 | but a very bad movie, |
| 6 | because that movie would bevery unrealistic. |
| 7 | it's fashionable these days toblame everything on global warming. |
| 8 | particularly onman-made global warming. |
| 9 | but i'm afraid the evidencedoesn't point in that direction. |
| 10 | a little bit of warmingwould not be a bad thing for myself, |
| 11 | being a canadian |
| 12 | and the people in russiawouldn't mind a little... |
| 13 | a couple of degrees warmer either. |
| 14 | all of this with theglobal warming, a lot of it's a hoax. |
| 15 | it's a hoax, i mean, it's a money-makingindustry, okay. it's a hoax. |
| 16 | the whole"climate crisis" as they call it, |
| 17 | is not only fake news, it's fake science. |
| 18 | there is no climate crisis.there is nothing to be afraid of. |
| 19 | how much warming will you get if you, |
| 20 | let us say, double the co2 in the air? |
| 21 | the answer is,you don't get very much. |
| 22 | the problem is not global warming. |
| 23 | the problem is that wekeep hearing one-sided arguments. |
| 24 | carbon dioxide isactually a benefit to the environment, |
| 25 | to agriculture and forestry,and to the climate of the earth. |
| 26 | there are some peoplewho are so arrogant to think |
| 27 | that they are so powerful,they can change climate. |
| 28 | man can't change climate. |
| 29 | adults always say one thing |
| 30 | and then do somethingcompletely different. |
| 31 | they say that we only have one planet, |
| 32 | and we should take care of it. |
| 33 | and yet no one gives a damnabout the climate crisis. |
| 34 | my name is greta thunberg,and i am 15 years old. |
| 35 | i am on a school strike for the climatein front of the parliament, |
| 36 | until the election day. |
| 37 | many have heard about climate change |
| 38 | and know vaguely what it means |
| 39 | with rising sea levels,increased average temperatures, |
| 40 | and so on. |
| 41 | but no one seems tofully understand the consequences. |
| 42 | that we are right nowliving as if we had several earths. |
| 43 | sometimes it feels like wewho have asperger's or autism |
| 44 | are the only oneswho see through the noise. |
| 45 | i am protesting about the climate crisisbecause it's such an important issue. |
| 46 | what we are doing now,future generations can't change. |
| 47 | and no one is doing anything,nothing is happening. |
| 48 | so i must do what i can. |
| 49 | what did you thinkwhen you first heard her talking |
| 50 | about the idea to start protesting? |
| 51 | i told her if she woulddo that, i would not support it. |
| 52 | so she made a very long list of factsthat she's been handing out to people. |
| 53 | and, uh, she knowsthe climate issue, i would say |
| 54 | better than 97% of all the politicians,probably in the world. |
| 55 | she has almost a photographic memory |
| 56 | when it comesto things she's interested in. |
| 57 | so she can read books and almostremember everything that's in there. |
| 58 | did you expect something like that? |
| 59 | i didn't expect anything. |
| 60 | i just wanted her to be happy. |
| 61 | and i'm very sure thatshe didn't expect anything either. |
| 62 | i mean, she just...she felt she had to do something |
| 63 | and she had to do itcompletely on her own. |
| 64 | i don't like making small talk with people |
| 65 | or socializing. |
| 66 | sometimes, i go quietand can stay so for hours |
| 67 | only because i simply can't talk. |
| 68 | i like to have routines, |
| 69 | and i notice details. |
| 70 | and once i really getinterested in something, |
| 71 | i can get, like, laser focused on it |
| 72 | and keep doing it for hours,without getting bored. |
| 73 | we saw a film in school. |
| 74 | there werestarving polar bears, floodings, |
| 75 | hurricanes and droughts. |
| 76 | and the scientists said thatwe didn't have much time left |
| 77 | to change our behavior. |
| 78 | that was wheni started getting depressed. |
| 79 | and got anxiety. |
| 80 | and stopped eating and stopped talking. |
| 81 | i was sick.i almost starved to death. |
| 82 | it took many years |
| 83 | but slowly. |
| 84 | i started to feel better. |
| 85 | i felt that,why should i give up |
| 86 | when there were so many different things |
| 87 | you could do to make a difference? |
| 88 | "i love seeing someonewho doesn't just complain. |
| 89 | "but gets out and doessomething about it. |
| 90 | you inspire me." |
| 91 | my name is gretathunberg and i am 15 years old. |
| 92 | and we have had school strikesfor the climate for three weeks. |
| 93 | but we will go on withthe school strike every friday. |
| 94 | as from now, we will sitoutside the swedish parliament |
| 95 | until sweden is in linewith the paris agreement. |
| 96 | everyone is welcome.everyone is needed. |
| 97 | please join in. |
| 98 | once the climatecrisis has gotten your attention, |
| 99 | you can't look away. |
| 100 | once you fully understandthe magnitude of the problem, |
| 101 | then you can't erase it. |
| 102 | i started turning off lightsand pulling out cords at home. |
| 103 | my parents got very surprised |
| 104 | and they wonderedwhy i did like that. |
| 105 | and i explained, to save energy. |
| 106 | my family lived a veryhigh-consuming lifestyle. |
| 107 | we bought lots of things,we ate meat. |
| 108 | we drove a petrolcar, we flew all over the world. |
| 109 | mom and dad werejust like everyone else. |
| 110 | they didn't understandhow bad things were. |
| 111 | they said thateverything would be fine. |
| 112 | "there are lots of things being done.you don't need to worry." |
| 113 | but that was exactlywhat made me so afraid. |
| 114 | that people seemed to thinkthat we were making progress. |
| 115 | for many years,people, especially children |
| 116 | were very unkind or mean to me. |
| 117 | i didn't get invitedto parties or celebrations. |
| 118 | i was always left out. |
| 119 | so i spent most of my timebeing with my family, and my dogs. |
| 120 | time is against us asun climate talks begin in poland |
| 121 | and is being attended by around40 heads of state and government. |
| 122 | the ambition for the coming days |
| 123 | is to try to put flesh on the bonesof the paris agreement. |
| 124 | that was the deal agreed three years ago |
| 125 | in which countries saidthey would cut their greenhouse gases. |
| 126 | basically, the time is very,very short to make major changes. |
| 127 | emissions have to essentiallyhalve over the next 12 years |
| 128 | otherwise the impacts could becatastrophic for the entire world. |
| 129 | "the responsibility is yours, but since..." |
| 130 | "all of our leadersare behaving like children..." |
| 131 | uh... |
| 132 | the... |
| 133 | "the children willhave to take responsibility. |
| 134 | "we will take |
| 135 | responsibility for their actions." |
| 136 | "they have ignored us in the pastand they will ignore us this time." |
| 137 | - just one question, please.- this is a meeting that can not fail. |
| 138 | thank you, sir. |
| 139 | - greta! how are you?- i am good. |
| 140 | - are you nervous? don't be.- no. |
| 141 | greta, before we start this session,let's take our selfie. |
| 142 | - so nice to meet you.you lovely girl. |
| 143 | i can join you? |
| 144 | photobombing a 15-year-old. |
| 145 | she has to be ready, okay. please. |
| 146 | hi, how are you? |
| 147 | i have to remind all ofus that we have very little time. |
| 148 | please, greta, you have the floor. |
| 149 | for 25 years, countless people |
| 150 | have stood in front of theunited nations climate conferences |
| 151 | asking our nations' leadersto stop the emissions. |
| 152 | but clearly, this has not worked,since the emissions just continue to rise. |
| 153 | so i will not ask them anything. |
| 154 | instead, i will ask the peoplearound the world |
| 155 | to realize that ourpolitical leaders have failed us. |
| 156 | because we arefacing an existential threat. |
| 157 | and there's no time tocontinue down this road of madness. |
| 158 | we have come here tolet them know that change is coming |
| 159 | whether they like it or not. |
| 160 | the people willrise to the challenge. |
| 161 | and since our leadersare behaving like children, |
| 162 | we will have to take the responsibilitythey should have taken long ago. |
| 163 | thank you. |
| 164 | - maybe thumbs up?- thumbs up! |
| 165 | i would like to give thefloor to miss greta thunberg. |
| 166 | miss thunberg, you have the floor. |
| 167 | - my name is greta thunberg.i am 15 years old and i am from sweden. |
| 168 | you only speak ofgreen eternal economic growth |
| 169 | because you aretoo scared of being unpopular. |
| 170 | you only talk about moving forward |
| 171 | with the same bad ideasthat got us into this mess. |
| 172 | but i don't careabout being popular. |
| 173 | i care about climate justiceand a living planet. |
| 174 | thank you. |
| 175 | you're very young, 15 years old. |
| 176 | is climate change an issuethat even children, |
| 177 | like yourself,should be concerned about? |
| 178 | how can we spreadawareness among children? |
| 179 | - yes, of course.climate change affects mostly children. |
| 180 | sorry, sorry, it's deutsche welleand reuters. |
| 181 | but, deutsche welle, wait. |
| 182 | i have stopped flying,stopped eating meat and dairy, |
| 183 | and stopped buyingnew things, and... yes. |
| 184 | just small changes. |
| 185 | may i get a selfie? |
| 186 | i have a 16-year-old daughter in america. |
| 187 | actually in canada now,we live in canada. |
| 188 | she's quite the activist too. |
| 189 | anyway, proud of you! |
| 190 | a 15-year-old environmental activistfrom sweden is scolding world leaders |
| 191 | on what she says is theirfailure to address climate change. |
| 192 | so her name is greta thunberg. |
| 193 | she comes up on stage, she's notparticularly dressed in any special way. |
| 194 | and she speaksand her words are devastating. |
| 195 | i can't just sit there and watch her |
| 196 | do all this forthe environment and do nothing. |
| 197 | we stand with you, and on friday,i will stand next to you. stay strong! |
| 198 | - fridays for future!- future, future! |
| 199 | - fridays for future!- future, future! |
| 200 | - fridays for future!- future, future! |
| 201 | we are the children here, speaking up. |
| 202 | and our future is beingdestroyed by the minute. |
| 203 | thousands of people in brisbaneand thousands more across the country |
| 204 | are taking to the streetwith passion and posters... |
| 205 | they say they're taking back the streets |
| 206 | to send a messagethat the climate crisis is real. |
| 207 | they will not rest untilbold action is taken to address it. |
| 208 | it's all for her, for the movement,for the climate. |
| 209 | she started this and i justwanted to help her a little bit. |
| 210 | stop the pollution! stop the pollution! |
| 211 | it's a real movementthat's growing. it's growing every week. |
| 212 | these students aren't backing down.they plan to keep striking until... |
| 213 | my lords, i do not acceptthat taking time off school |
| 214 | in the middle of termis useful for children. |
| 215 | - kids should go to school!and less activism in school! |
| 216 | if it were about science,it would be led by scientists, |
| 217 | rather than by politicians |
| 218 | and a mentally ill swedish childwho is being exploited by her parents |
| 219 | and by the international left. |
| 220 | if you listen to thespeeches that our politicians give us, |
| 221 | it seems like they've nevereven heard of a climate crisis. |
| 222 | because they arenot treating it like a crisis. |
| 223 | hi! |
| 224 | - it's so nice to meet you, greta.- you too. |
| 225 | so, so, we've done somestrikes here in belgium. |
| 226 | - yeah, i know.- with you as our big inspiration. |
| 227 | we hit 35,000 last week. |
| 228 | - i know.that's amazing. i saw pictures |
| 229 | and it was just crowds fullof people, and it was amazing. |
| 230 | yeah, it's amazing. |
| 231 | and everybody has placardsthat say, "greta for president" |
| 232 | and everybody's shouting your name.you're a real hero here. |
| 233 | so for us it would be really,really nice to get to know you. |
| 234 | yeah. you too. |
| 235 | it feels almost indescribablethat something is finally happening. |
| 236 | that there are many who care aboutthe same things as i do. |
| 237 | it feels like i'll just wake upone day and find out this wasn't for real. |
| 238 | - do you want some tea? some...- no, i have water. |
| 239 | - hi, greta.- hello. |
| 240 | - nice to meet you.- you too. |
| 241 | - thank you so much.- we shall sit down. |
| 242 | thank you somuch for coming, greta. |
| 243 | honestly, we would havenever started this if you wouldn't have. |
| 244 | and i would have neverhad the courage you showed. |
| 245 | it's not that i should take the focus,because that's what's so good |
| 246 | about this movement,that everyone is equally contributing. |
| 247 | no, no, that's right, but everybody'sdoing great jobs locally in every country. |
| 248 | but you're, like,that girl that started it all, you know? |
| 249 | i think we neededthis kind of story that you told. |
| 250 | like a story of, like,everyone can make a difference. |
| 251 | and that we as young peoplecan change something. |
| 252 | and we needed the storyto tell to other people and they saw it. |
| 253 | - yeah, it's really nice.- together we can make a difference. |
| 254 | there have now been strikeson every continent except antarctica. |
| 255 | i think that it'samazing that it's not just in... |
| 256 | western europe. it's everywhere. |
| 257 | - what do we want?- climate justice! |
| 258 | - when do we want it?- now! |
| 259 | i'm impressed by the political oomph |
| 260 | that this movement seems to have got. |
| 261 | climate change hasnever been on the headlines like this |
| 262 | for as long as i can remember. |
| 263 | it's really making people understandthat this needs to be tackled now. |
| 264 | it is the most pressingpolitical issue of our time. |
| 265 | society is like an amoeba, |
| 266 | it moves from the margins,not from the center. |
| 267 | if the young people can sustain this,this actually could change the world. |
| 268 | are you ready to meet greta? |
| 269 | make some noise! |
| 270 | this is incredible. |
| 271 | for way too long,the people in power |
| 272 | have gotten away with notcaring about the climate crisis. |
| 273 | but we will make surethey will not do that any more. |
| 274 | we will be a pain in the ass, we willkeep on striking until they do something. |
| 275 | everybody, raise your hands! |
| 276 | - hi, how are you?- i'm good. you? |
| 277 | - nice meeting you.- nice meeting you too. |
| 278 | it's an honor to meet you.thank you for inviting me. |
| 279 | - you are welcome.we are very happy to have you here. |
| 280 | what i want to discuss with you is |
| 281 | how you see the situation and onwhich topic do you want us to focus? |
| 282 | and what are your mainconcerns and expectations? |
| 283 | i think we are in a time nowwhere more and more people |
| 284 | are becoming aware of what is going on. |
| 285 | and i think we havereached a tipping point. |
| 286 | that people will...will demand things. |
| 287 | and will realize where we are at. |
| 288 | and i think that you have a greatopportunity to take that chance and to act |
| 289 | and to become a figure of this. |
| 290 | and also, i think it'svery important that we... |
| 291 | in the rich countries,we need to lead and to act more. |
| 292 | obviously, becausethe people in poorer countries |
| 293 | need to have a chance toheighten their standard of living. |
| 294 | so, you are in a rush,so you should probably get going. |
| 295 | thank you very much. thank you. |
| 296 | how do you manageeverything for school and so on? |
| 297 | i... my school isactually very helpful. |
| 298 | they support me and i do homeworkat home and i catch up with them. |
| 299 | i-i work hard. |
| 300 | - wow. and you travel a lot?- yeah. sometimes. yeah. |
| 301 | - by train.- yeah. yeah. |
| 302 | wow. and youread a lot on the climate? |
| 303 | yeah, i do, yeah. a lot. i'm a nerd. |
| 304 | - my name is greta thunberg.i am a climate activist from sweden. |
| 305 | people always tell usthat they are so hopeful. |
| 306 | they are hopeful that the young peopleare going to save the world. |
| 307 | but we are not.there is simply not enough time |
| 308 | to wait for us to grow upand become the ones in charge. |
| 309 | because by the year 2020, we need to havebent the emissions curve steeply downward. |
| 310 | that is next year. |
| 311 | we have startedto clean up your mess. |
| 312 | and we will not stopuntil we are done. thank you. |
| 313 | and now i have the pleasure and privilege |
| 314 | of giving the floorto jean-claude juncker. |
| 315 | now i'm going to really focus |
| 316 | on what's happening here today. |
| 317 | i change things... |
| 318 | while trying toregulate smaller things. |
| 319 | now, in terms of flushes,they said that |
| 320 | we need to harmonize all flushesacross all toilets in europe. |
| 321 | well, it could be useful because we wouldsave a very large amount of energy, but... |
| 322 | i honestly don't understand |
| 323 | why i even get invited. |
| 324 | it feels like all theywant is to be spotlighted |
| 325 | to make it look like they care,as if they were doing something. |
| 326 | they know what to say,they know what sells. |
| 327 | but in fact,they're doing basically nothing. |
| 328 | if the solution to the climate crisis wasabout changing tea bags for loose-leaf tea |
| 329 | and eating vegetarian once a week,then it wouldn't be a crisis. |
| 330 | and we wouldn't even have a problem. |
| 331 | have you heard anypoliticians seem to understand the urgency? |
| 332 | today, president juncker'sspeech did not seem to respond to... |
| 333 | you laid out even science factsand he didn't even respond to those. |
| 334 | no. i mean, um,most people like that i talk to |
| 335 | don't really respond, they don'tcome with any concrete promises. |
| 336 | they only say that we are trying,but that's not enough. |
| 337 | if we don't actnow, the world will get so hot |
| 338 | millions of peoplewill lose their homes |
| 339 | and more than 10% of the world's insects,plants and animals will die. |
| 340 | japan is experiencinga record-breaking heat wave |
| 341 | which officials say contributedto the death of 65 people last week... |
| 342 | the impact on sensitiveecosystems and the arctic |
| 343 | will shift from highto very high risk... |
| 344 | sixty-three fires are burning in 13 states |
| 345 | and with dangerous heat coming,the situation will only get worse... |
| 346 | now is the time to stop this. |
| 347 | we don't have another decade to wait. |
| 348 | greta, i have just onequestion for you. how does it feel? |
| 349 | i don't know.it's very overwhelming. |
| 350 | because they're herefor you. it's all because you started it. |
| 351 | no, they're here forthemselves. and for everyone. |
| 352 | greta, i think they love youtoo much. |
| 353 | please, you're my hero. |
| 354 | thank you. |
| 355 | are you not hungry? |
| 356 | - i don't care. no.- you don't care? |
| 357 | - do you want to go elsewhere?- no, i want to sit here and not eat. |
| 358 | okay. |
| 359 | today, we use100 million barrels of oil every day. |
| 360 | there are nopolitics to change that. |
| 361 | there are no rulesto keep that oil in the ground. |
| 362 | but if being carbon-neutraldoes not include transportation, |
| 363 | shopping, food,aviation and shipping |
| 364 | then it doesn'treally mean that much. |
| 365 | some would say we are wasting lesson time.we say we are changing the world. |
| 366 | so that when we are older,we will be able to look back |
| 367 | and say that wedid everything we could. |
| 368 | and we will continue to do so. |
| 369 | we will continue to fightfor our future and for the living planet. |
| 370 | we need to starttreating the crisis as a crisis. |
| 371 | and we also need to communicate |
| 372 | in a way that we connectall these environmental disasters. |
| 373 | like everything fromacidification of the oceans, deforestation |
| 374 | to the fact that we are inthe sixth mass extinction right now. |
| 375 | we need to make sure the peoplecan connect these dots. |
| 376 | yeah. absolutely. connecting the dots,that's a very good point. |
| 377 | - hi, greta, it's a pleasure to meet you.- you too. |
| 378 | i wish you well and continue to campaign.just do what you believe is right. |
| 379 | - greta, can i have a selfie?is that okay? |
| 380 | there we go. one, two, three! |
| 381 | everyone says, "it'sso lovely that you are here," |
| 382 | and, "we promise to improve." |
| 383 | but they never do. |
| 384 | when i'm in these fancy environments, |
| 385 | all these palaces or castles,or whatever it is, |
| 386 | i feel very uncomfortable. |
| 387 | it feels like everyone is inthis role-playing game |
| 388 | and just pretending. |
| 389 | it feels kind of fake. |
| 390 | sometimes it feels likeit doesn't even matter |
| 391 | how many of us go on strike. |
| 392 | what matters is thatthe emissions have to be reduced. |
| 393 | and it has to start happen. |
| 394 | let's be honest, a lot of peoplefind her very annoying. |
| 395 | and they find her very hyperbolic |
| 396 | and very hystericaland very over-emotional. |
| 397 | greta. you know greta? |
| 398 | she's not the messiah. |
| 399 | she's just a depressedand extremely anxious girl. |
| 400 | and a very unhappy one. |
| 401 | asperger's is very rarely an advantage. |
| 402 | in this case, it's actually a weakness. |
| 403 | she's a kid. she talks nonsense. |
| 404 | she tells the climate alarmistsexactly what they want to hear. |
| 405 | you selfish, badly educated,virtue-signaling little turds. |
| 406 | wake up, grow up, and shut up. |
| 407 | until you're sure of the factsbefore protesting. |
| 408 | my parents... i can tell |
| 409 | that they are very worried,and scared. |
| 410 | we've received several letters homethat contain death threats. |
| 411 | they're saying thati should avoid going out. |
| 412 | but i am honestly not that scared. |
| 413 | because i am more worriedwhat would happen if i didn't do this. |
| 414 | you're okay witheverything that's happening? |
| 415 | yeah. but i can't really plan my future. |
| 416 | like, i want to study that, |
| 417 | and then i want to work there,and i want to get married. |
| 418 | i-i, i can't do... |
| 419 | i can't even plan what i want to do thisweekend because someone calls and says, |
| 420 | "oh, we have an emergency meeting,"and i have to go there. |
| 421 | i mean, we don'twant to, like, burn out. |
| 422 | if you understand, like... |
| 423 | you don't have any energy left todo something, you have used up your... |
| 424 | - yeah, i know what you mean.i totally know what you mean. |
| 425 | that's totally true. i think you shouldespecially be really careful for that. |
| 426 | yeah, we all should. we just haveto continue saying the same thing |
| 427 | over and over again until people get it. |
| 428 | - yeah.- because if... yeah. |
| 429 | then we do that. |
| 430 | so the whole area was forest. |
| 431 | it was this ancient,thousands of years old forest. |
| 432 | and 90% of it waslost to the coal mine. |
| 433 | - there, on the horizon...- is the remaining ten percent. |
| 434 | yeah. this is our hambach forest. |
| 435 | it is very important becausethis is such an important place, |
| 436 | such a symbolic place. |
| 437 | the hambach forest is very threatened. |
| 438 | and i felt like i wantedto come here to visit that. |
| 439 | and also to gain media attentionso that the media would focus on it. |
| 440 | humanity sees natureas this giant bag of candy. |
| 441 | that we can justtake as much as we want. |
| 442 | so one day, nature willprobably strike back in some way. |
| 443 | i don't know exactly how. |
| 444 | but there's everythingfrom heat waves to diseases, |
| 445 | or water shortages,which might become problems in the future. |
| 446 | and in that context, we're kind of small. |
| 447 | the amazonbasin is burning at a record rate. |
| 448 | more than 72,000 fires havescorched the country this year, |
| 449 | an over 80% increasecompared to the same period in 2018. |
| 450 | flames destroying one-and-a-half footballfields of rainforest every minute. |
| 451 | smoke spreadingacross nearly half of brazil |
| 452 | visible from spacemore than a week ago. |
| 453 | often called"the lungs of the earth," |
| 454 | the rainforest supplies20% of the world's oxygen. |
| 455 | if it burns to a point of no return,it could turn into a dry savannah |
| 456 | plunging the planet ever deeperinto a climate change crisis. |
| 457 | i'm a member of parliament,and i have a report i'd like to hand over. |
| 458 | smile for the cameras. |
| 459 | - thank you very much.- my name is greta thunberg. |
| 460 | i come from sweden,and i want you to panic. |
| 461 | i want you to act as ifthe house was on fire. |
| 462 | i have said those words before. |
| 463 | and a lot of people haveexplained why that is a bad idea. |
| 464 | and it's okay if yourefuse to listen to me. |
| 465 | i am, after all, justa 16-year-old schoolgirl from sweden. |
| 466 | but you cannot ignore the science. |
| 467 | we are in the midst ofthe sixth mass extinction. |
| 468 | erosion... |
| 469 | of fertile topsoil, defo... |
| 470 | deforestation of ourgreat forests, toxic air pollution. |
| 471 | the loss of insects and wildlife. |
| 472 | the acidification of our oceans. |
| 473 | these are all disastrous trendsbeing accelerated by a way of life that we |
| 474 | here in our financiallyfortunate part of the world |
| 475 | see as our rightto simply carry on. |
| 476 | then you wentto the strasbourg parliament, |
| 477 | and i saw you, during your speech, crying. |
| 478 | - what made you cry?- i talked about animals going extinct. |
| 479 | erosion, deforestation, acidification,things like that, which is... |
| 480 | i mean... it's hard to take in, but... |
| 481 | and i talk about thatall the time, and once... |
| 482 | i have to get emotional once,it's only reasonable. |
| 483 | - you suffer of asperger's syndrome.is this true? |
| 484 | yeah. maybe i wouldn't say"suffer from," but i have it. |
| 485 | - you have it, okay.- yeah. |
| 486 | listen, greta, in italy,we have talked a lot about you. |
| 487 | and some peopledescribe you like a radical baby. |
| 488 | you know, that... |
| 489 | sometimes,when they just sit and talk... |
| 490 | i wonder to myself, "what would happenif i just stood up and screamed here?" |
| 491 | it feels like i'm speakinga completely different language. |
| 492 | or as if the microphone isn't really on. |
| 493 | ...of all colleagues across thehouse to welcome greta thunberg |
| 494 | who is with us today, an enthusiasticand dedicated environmental campaigner. |
| 495 | is the microphone on? |
| 496 | is the microphone really on? |
| 497 | - is my english okay?- yes! |
| 498 | because i'm beginning to wonder. |
| 499 | you lied to us. you gave us false hope. |
| 500 | you told us that the futurewas something to look forward to. |
| 501 | during the last six months,i've traveled around europe |
| 502 | for hundreds of hours on trains,electric cars and buses |
| 503 | repeating theselife-changing words over and over again. |
| 504 | but no one seems to be talkingabout it and nothing has changed. |
| 505 | despite all the beautiful wordsand promises, emissions are still rising. |
| 506 | we have not taken to the streetsfor you to take selfies with us |
| 507 | and tell us thatyou really admire what we do. |
| 508 | we children are doing thisfor you to put your differences aside |
| 509 | and start acting asyou would in a crisis. |
| 510 | we children are doing this becausewe want our hopes and dreams back. |
| 511 | i hope my microphone was on.i hope you could all hear me. thank you. |
| 512 | in a few weeks, school will end. |
| 513 | after the summer holidays,i am starting gymnasium. |
| 514 | it's like swedish high school. |
| 515 | and this is what i reallywant to do because i love studying. |
| 516 | but i have also been invited to attend theunited nations climate summit in new york. |
| 517 | and since time is running out,i have decided to go there. |
| 518 | and since i don't fly because ofthe enormous climate impact of aviation, |
| 519 | it's going to be a challenge. |
| 520 | - greta! it's good, what you're doing.- you too. |
| 521 | thanks, first of all, for your interest |
| 522 | in our suggestion to sail over together. |
| 523 | it may be a crazy idea,but i really like it. |
| 524 | and please, ask me anyquestion you want on the boat. |
| 525 | i'll show youaround with the camera. um, so... |
| 526 | this, for example, is a bunk bed. |
| 527 | a carbon fiber tubewith just a cloth on it. |
| 528 | and a rope, where i can pull. |
| 529 | it's a race boat for a small crew,to, um... |
| 530 | to be, uh, to be efficient. |
| 531 | i'll show you the kitchen as well. |
| 532 | - this is the kitchen.- ah-ha! |
| 533 | and we heat water here. |
| 534 | and then, this area herewe spend most of our time. |
| 535 | i don't want to be a person |
| 536 | says one thingand then does something else. |
| 537 | i don't want to be the kind of personwho says, "this is so important" |
| 538 | and then the next second, flies acrossthe world because it's easier that way. |
| 539 | many people would say this is crazy. |
| 540 | just take a flight. |
| 541 | why do you not want to do that? |
| 542 | because by taking a boat, |
| 543 | it shows that it's basicallyimpossible to live sustainable today. |
| 544 | she faces a really,really tough journey. |
| 545 | i mean, it's an incredible boat.it's fantastically exciting to sail. |
| 546 | it's basically a huge sailattached to a super-light hull. |
| 547 | it leaps in the wind,really muscular, jumps forward. |
| 548 | what that means is,that it crashes against the waves. |
| 549 | essentially, it's a giant drumthat bangs against the waves. as the... |
| 550 | and then, here's a button. |
| 551 | there's only one button,so you will remember that. |
| 552 | and this sends your gps position...this has a gps. |
| 553 | it sends it to a satellite. |
| 554 | this is kind ofthe worst-case scenario thing. |
| 555 | it transmits for probably 24 hoursyour position. |
| 556 | the problem, why is it dangerousto fall in the water? |
| 557 | it's because you can get very cold. |
| 558 | um, the other thing isto find you is difficult. |
| 559 | for finding you,this is one thing to have... |
| 560 | - greta, lots of love.- yeah, you too. |
| 561 | - the uk strikers made you a video.- oh, thank you! yeah. |
| 562 | the whole world thinksyou're wonderful. be a brave girl. |
| 563 | hip, hip, hooray! hip, hip, hooray! |
| 564 | and here the wind isfrom behind, and light. |
| 565 | here's a high pressure.this will be quite bumpy. |
| 566 | and after that,the wind is strong from behind. |
| 567 | it starts to blow stronger atfive in the morning tomorrow morning. |
| 568 | it will be a bit challenging,but nothing dramatic, really. |
| 569 | humans are social animals. |
| 570 | and in a herd,everyone has different roles. |
| 571 | we are dependenton each other to survive. |
| 572 | if you see a threat... |
| 573 | it's your responsibilityto sound the alarm. |
| 574 | and i feel like this ismy responsibility, in a way. |
| 575 | excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, |
| 576 | welcome to the 2019 climate action summit. |
| 577 | if i may ask you toplease take your seats. |
| 578 | greta, your first climate strike |
| 579 | was a lonely event,a little over a year ago |
| 580 | demanding action for climate change. |
| 581 | what's your messageto world leaders today? |
| 582 | this is all wrong.i shouldn't be up here. |
| 583 | i should be back in school,on the other side of the ocean. |
| 584 | yet you all come tous young people for hope. |
| 585 | how dare you? |
| 586 | you have stolen my dreams andmy childhood with your empty words. |
| 587 | and, yet,i'm one of the lucky ones. |
| 588 | people are suffering.people are dying. |
| 589 | entire ecosystems are collapsing |
| 590 | and all you can talk about is money andfairy tales of eternal economic growth. |
| 591 | how dare you? |
| 592 | for more than 30 years,the science has been crystal clear. |
| 593 | how dare youcontinue to look away? |
| 594 | and come here,saying that you are doing enough? |
| 595 | when the politics and solutionsneeded are still nowhere in sight. |
| 596 | you are failing us! |
| 597 | but the young people arestarting to understand your betrayal. |
| 598 | the eyes of all futuregenerations are upon you. |
| 599 | and if you choose to fail us,i say that we will never forgive you. |
| 600 | the world is waking up. |
| 601 | and change is coming,whether you like it or not. |
| 602 | if you deal with crises in time,instead of waiting... |
| 603 | the problems won't get as big. |
| 604 | because if you do that,you come out on the other side. |
| 605 | and there, it's better. |
| 606 | actually, i don't see the worldin black and white. |
| 607 | it's just the climate issuei see in black and white. |
| 608 | sometimes i feel like it would be goodif everyone had a bit more asperger's. |
| 609 | at least when it comes to the climate. |
| 610 | we, the youth,say you are not doing enough! |
| 611 | we, the youth, demand action now! |
| 612 | we're on the outskirts |
| 613 | of the biggest catastrophehumanity has ever faced |
| 614 | and ourgovernment is doing nothing! |
| 615 | tell me why there are childrenwho have to stand up for themselves. |
| 616 | where are our parents,where are our grandparents? |
| 617 | we, as a human population,need to be the change. |
| 618 | because i will not sit and worryabout a future that i might not have! |
| 619 | shout out, forthe sake of our environment. |
| 620 | and we, the younger generation,we need to raise our voice. |
| 621 | we have contaminated the earthand all the water, |
| 622 | we have polluted the air. |
| 623 | what have we done? |
