Sphumelele Sibuta : but she pretty much said that climate change is bad and we need to stop it. Nothing really impressive about that. I thought she had a new plan to stop climate change. But she just said let the people in power handle it. ( the grown ups)

[@derkuchenmeisterselvag9125]

Pretty sure she wasn’t trying to amuse you guys. She was being serious about NY smelling like pollution.

[@NjorunsDream]

New Yorkers have a dark sense of humor. They don't think that pollution is non-serious, they just laugh kind of darkly when people call them out on their pollution problem, as if to say "Yeah, we know, you caught us... it's embarrassing." They're laughing that she's being very frank and doesn't mind pointing out something in an "undiplomatic" way, which generally New Yorkers enjoy, even at their own expense. Most of this audience is very much in favor of seeing climate change as a fact and doing better for the environment. But the very corrupt power structure that keeps things the way things are has left many New Yorkers disenchanted, and so we/they (and Americans in general), tend to laugh at our problems. There's that saying-- you can cry or you can laugh, either way it sucks.

[@joandoer6794]

I'm sure she was doing both. What's true is often funny. I think she has a pretty good grasp of that.

[@Iunanec]

I think she was trying to downplay it after all that laughter. New York doesn't quite smell like pollution, instead, it would be more accurately described as PEE, EVERYTHING SMELLS LIKE SUN-BAKED PEE, I COME FROM A TROPICAL THIRD WORLD COUNTRY'S MOST POPULATED CITY AND EVEN HERE IT DOESN'T SMELL LIKE PEE, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU NYC PEOPLE?!

[@cathwhiskey]

You (and Vlad) miss the point. You are implying that environmentalists are asking people in poverty to stay in poverty in order to protect the environment. This is simply not true. Yes, the highly industrialized nations are far more responsible for climate change, and having more industrialized nations accelerates the process, *if proper measures aren't taken*. There are measures that can be taken. People are so stubborn and selfish you make a statement like that as an excuse to live your life "normally" and not make any changes. So you can feel guilt free... like somehow YOUR the hero for not asking Africans to stay poor, when that has nothing to do with it. I hope you see the light some day and help in the fight to save the world. Or at least help some Africans, if reducing your meat consumption or other small "sacrifices" are so unbearable.

If older generations don't work hard and industrialize the society you will be crumbling in your shattered house and worrying about your next meal, not sitting on your sofa using your smartphone to post your childish thoughts.

[@mayavidova792]

The older generation was doing shopping with reusable shopping bags, instead of plastic bottles you just throw away these days they used glass bottles which they used to bring back to shops so they can be used again, they did not have 3000 electronic appliances at homes which is pretty norm these days(I don't believe you have at home 1 radio and that's it), the energy consumption was not as high, and many of them did not even own a car, aviation was not so widely available to many either. Sooooo my question is what old generation are we talking about? I guess if you ask your parents or grandparents they will tell you they had nothing what we have now. Yes I am not saying they did not have any impact, many factories worked on coal, but every generation has impact on the planet, and on our lives we live now. But they also had to fight for my things you can profit from now, so I believe it is very ignorant to blame situation on older generation when we are added a big part to the problem as well. I love to travel but think only about what impact has tourism on planet. Reefs are being destroyed by ignorance of many, beaches are being left dirty after ignorant YOUNG people (no I am not shading young people because I am old I am young, but let's be honest we leave the shit behind).

@@fenrisulven5324 Ah, here we go again. That's what Greta meant when she said some people in the US (also in other places, but much less so) mistake the climate change for something you can decide to believe in or not. It's not a religion, bro. It's predictions based on observations and measurements of the real world in the past and current, extrapolated with proven climatic models into the future. All those tell us, within a high degree of certainty, how the climate is going to evolve and what influence that will have on our life, if we keep on doing as we are. That's called "science" and there is consensus about this topic among climate scientists. And no - climate scientists, communicators or even activists (who generally tend to overdramatise to get their points heard) are not saying that the world is goind to end in 10 or 20 years. Everyone knows and says that things will progressively get worse and it's already started. The problem is, that climate as well as large changes in society and industry are very long winded processes, which means we have to act as early as possible - ideally decades ago. Also there are certain points in warming the earth, where a snowball-effect can be triggered, like thawing permafrost-soil which releases large amounts of methane, speeding up warming and triggering more such effects and so on. Imagine it as a steadily growing heap of lightly toxic trash and you are the only one who is there to remove it. In the beginning, it's just a little and not very dangerous, but if you don't start removing it early and let it accumulate over the decades, you will have a toxic mountain before you, that you can't remove without being killed by it's toxic gasses anymore. I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but sadly you are the one that has been fooled. I don't know you and your life circumstances and therefore don't know how that attitude developed and will certainly not be able to convince you otherwise, so I won't argue with you. I just didn't want to let your misleading statements unanswered, though you might yourself not know that you are uttering bullcrap. On the other hand, if you are really just a troll, shame on you!

@Elisabeth V Most interviewers are diminishing her and the knowledge she has, by not asking about the science. They’re treating her like a little, frail girl that can’t possibly answer ”difficult science questions.” Studies show that women in general get that kind of treatment in media more often than men. Men get to talk about actual issues, and therefore appears to be smarter. Women get asked more about emotions, family, or other ”softer issues”. This affects both womens’ and mens’ views of womens’ capacity in general. One of many, many phenomenon that adds to the gender inequality we still have. Greta has been studying the climate issue for 7-8 years now, with an intensity of an Asperger’s... She’s as close to an expert as anyone can come, without being a scientist!

[@carmy_v]

Hahaha, nice joke there. Going to shift the blame of a lack of water on climate change? How about everything is failing in South Africa because of having a corrupt government since 1994. The government was warned before 2007 about a future water crisis and they lacked any interest in building new dams to supply an increasing population. They were and still are too focused on looting the taxpayer. South Africa has always had periods of plenty rainfall followed by dry seasons, and those who had the sense way back then prepared the necessary reservoirs to catch water during the periods of heavy rainfall to tide us over the dry seasons. This government is committed to what they term as "decolonization and radical economic transformation" (they won't say outright that they favour communism) and won't be following good water management practices to ensure that you as a citizen will always have clean running water. They are corrupt failures and will always be running South Africa to the ground for as long as people keep voting them in power. Ask first why the electorate is not worried about government incompetence.

One individual person choosing to go green will not change the environment on their own, but that's not why she's doing all of this. There's a good analogy of a man trying the impossible task of pushing a boulder, where he gives every ounce of his energy to do so. He sees success in not moving the boulder, but convincing people that together, doing something such as moving a massive boulder (a seemingly impossible task), as difficult as it may seem, can be accomplished if we work together. One person can't change the world, but one person can influence others to help change it together.

Very true. When we say "There's nothing you can do about it", we may as well follow up by laying down on a train track. Defeatism accomplishes only failure. We have to do whatever we can to stop the ongoing man-made climate disaster while there's a planet left to save. SpaceX and Jeff Bezos aren't going to build a glamorous new society on Mars, that's a pipe dream. We have one habitable planet, going on none.

@@Ashole024 It's not about saving animals, it's about saving land (pasture).

And avoiding climate change is all about using less resources!
