Greta Thunberg speech to UK Parliament | Climate strikes

Overpopulation is the biggest problem on this earth, not climate change which is grossly exaggerated.

[@michaelrch]

Michael Deakin Don't bother being in the conversation if all you can attack is a straw man. None of the science or the economics is called for "going back to the dark ages". In fact most policies will allow for solid growth while we transition away from fossil fuels. The alternative to acting is catastrophic climate change and catastrophic damage to the economy. This isn't my opinion. It's the result of thousands of peer reviewed papers carried out by the most prestigious and qualified scientists and economists in the world. Indeed climate change is already costs over half a trillion of lost economic activity each year NOW. www.worldbank.org/en/topic/climatechange/overview Whereas the denier narrative is coming from the fossil fuel industry and right wing ideologues. Learn something. Read about what economists actually project if we act on climate change and what happens if we don't.

They're not laughing at that. They're laughing at the fact that even if climate change was going to destroy the world it wouldn't matter. We humans are far, far, far too greedy to care. Do you think massive corporations, governments, and individuals are going to inconvenience themselves by trying to make a change for the survival of the planet? These people don't care because they'll be dead before they see the effects, so it makes no difference to them. Nothing is going to change, all this protesting for climate change is simply a waste of time.

[@andrewjones-productions]

There is much discussion on here about the laughter at circa 9m48s. To be honest, I think they were laughing with her and not at her. The laughter was also accompanied by a warm applause. Greta was pointing out the arguments and put downs that people in authority tend to reply with. To the credit of those who attended, I think they recognised and were acknowledging the truth in what she said and were laughing at how they themselves as politicians etc tend to reply and the irony of it. Adults do tend to put children down. Indeed, the older we get, the higher the age of the person we put down as 'too young to understand' gets older with us. Regardless, I didn't sense any malice in that laughter. There is also scorn against the politicians in the room. That may nor may not be deserved, but I think that those who took the time to attend and listen to her are people who also share the same concerns as the rest of us. In many ways, Greta Thunberg was very likely preaching to the converted. If we do not tackle climate change with the urgency said to be necessary and the worst comes to the worst, the circumstances will be just as bad for politicians as they would be for anyone so it is worth remembering that they are people too and have as much a vested interest in protecting 'the world as we know it' as anyone. Since we are currently talking about at least decades in the future before the worst effects of climate change take place, it is also worth remembering that a lot of those politicians sitting in that room will not be politicians at that time and not receive any preferential treatment if even that will be possible. Nevertheless, those politicians who are actively trying to instigate change need to be empowered and the only way to empower a politician is with strong public opinion. This is why Greta Thunberg is important. She doesn't hold the solutions, but she has the ability to garner attention and mobilise public support - thus also those to indirectly empower those politicians who are also keen to see things moving forward much quicker.

Chinese translation by Tziyao Su {Greta Thunberg在英國國會對國會議員演講全文} 我叫葛蕾塔‧桑博格。我十六歲。我來自瑞典。我代表未來的世代發言。 我知道你們之中有許多人不想聽我們說話──你說我們只是孩子。但我們只是在複述《聯合國氣候變遷綱要公約》的訊息。 你們之中有許多人似乎很擔心我們浪費了寶貴的學習時間，但是我向你們保證，等你們開始聽從科學、給我們未來的那一刻起，我們就會回到學校。這樣的要求真的太過份嗎？ 2030年我就26歲了。我的妹妹碧塔（Beata）會是23歲。就跟許多你們自己的孩子或孫子一樣。大家告訴我們這是個很棒的年紀。這個時候你們的未來都有著大好人生。但對我們來說未來的人生會不會那美好，我沒那麼肯定。 生在這個時代、這個地方，我很幸運，大家都告訴我們要有遠大的夢想。我想要成為什麼人都可以。我想在哪裡生活都可以。像我這樣的人擁有我們所需的一切，而且還超過。我們的祖父母連作夢都想不到的東西。我們擁有我們所能想要的一切，然而現在我們可能會一無所有。 現在我們甚至再也沒有未來了。 因為那個未來被出賣了，好讓少數人賺到多到難以想像的金錢。每次你們說「前途無量」、「你只會活一次」的時候，那個未來就從我們身上被偷走了。 你們對我們說了謊。你們給了我們虛假的希望。你們告訴我們，未來是種可以期待的東西。而最不幸的是，大多數的孩子甚至沒意識到等待著我們的是什麼樣的命運。要等到一切都來不及了我們才會明白。然而我們是幸運的人。會受到最大影響的那些人已經在承受苦果了。但是沒有人聽見他們的聲音。 到二〇三〇年左右，離現在還有十年又兩百五十二天又十小時，我們就會面臨一個局面：我們引發了人類無法控制、無法逆轉的連鎖反應，非常可能導致我們所知的人類文明終結，除非在那時候，在社會的各個層面已經發生了永久而前所未有的改變，包括二氧化碳排放量至少要減低百分之五十。 請注意，這些估計靠的是還沒有還沒有大量發明出來的各種發明，那些應該要能清理掉大氣中巨量二氧化碳的發明。 此外，這些估計還不包括沒有預料到的臨界點和回饋循環，像是快速融化的北極永凍層所釋放、影響極大的沼氣。 這些科學的估計也未納入被有毒的空氣污染所掩蓋、早已棘手難解的暖化狀況。也沒有納入平等的層面──或是說氣候正義，這點在《巴黎協議》中通篇都有明確陳述，巴黎協議如果要在全球發揮作用，這是絕對必要的。 我們也必須記得這些都只是估計。是評估值。這表示這些「無可挽回的局面」可能會比二〇三〇年早一點或晚一點發生。沒有人可以確知。然而我們可以確定，這些狀況至少會在這些時間範圍內發生，因為這些估計不是意見，也不是亂猜的。 這些預測有科學事實證明，是由所有的國家經由聯合國氣候變遷政府間專家委員會（IPCC）做出的結論。全世界幾乎所有主要國家的科學界都全然支持IPCC的研究和發現。 你們有聽到我剛剛說的嗎？我的英文可以嗎？麥克風有打開嗎？因為我開始好奇了。 過去六個月，我在歐洲四處旅行，坐了幾百個小時的火車、電動車和公車，一再重述這些改變生命的話。但似乎沒有人在談論這件事，什麼都沒有改變。事實上，排放量還在上升。 我四處旅行，在不同的國家演講的時候，總是有人提供我協助，幫我寫出特定國家的特定氣候政策。但是那真的沒有必要。因為基本的問題在哪裡都是一樣的。而這個基本的問題就是，雖然有這一切美麗的言詞和承諾，但是對於停止──甚或減緩──氣候和生態崩潰，基本上我們什麼都沒做。 然而英國非常特別。不只是這個國家過去的碳債（carbon debt）非常驚人，也因為這個國家目前的碳計量（carbon accounting）方法非常有創意。 根據全球碳計畫（Global Carbon Project），從一九九〇年起，英國國境內的二氧化碳排放量降低達百分之三十七。這點聽起來確實令人印象深刻。但是這些數字並未包括來自航空、船運和那些與進出口有關的排放量。如果加入這些數字，那從一九九〇年起降低的量大約百分之十──或根據曼徹司特大學廷德爾中心（Tyndall Manchester）的說法，是一年平均降低百分之〇‧四。 降低的主要原因不是氣候政策的結果，而是二〇〇一年歐盟空氣品質的準則強迫英國必須關閉非常老舊、極為骯髒的煤炭火力發電廠，代之以沒那髒的天然氣電廠。從一種非常糟糕的能源換成另一種比較沒那糟的能源，當然會造成排放量減低。 但對於氣候危機最糟糕的誤解，或許是我們必須「降低」排放量。因為這樣完全不夠。如果我們的暖化要維持在攝氏一‧五度到兩度以下，我們必須完全停止排放。「降低排放量」當然是必要的，但這只是個快速過程的開始，必須在幾十年，甚至更短的時間內停止排放。我說的「停止」是指淨零（net zero）－－然後數據要很快進步到負值。這樣的話，今天的政治活動大部分都不夠格。 我們談「降低」而不談「停止」排放，或許正是讓商業如常持續背後最大的力量。英國目前積極支持開採新的化石燃料──例如英國的頁岩油壓裂採集產業，北海石油和天然氣田的擴大，還有機場的增建，以及規劃批准全新的煤礦──都荒謬得無可救藥。 這種持續的、不負責任的行為，無疑會被視為人類最大的失敗，記載在歷史上。 大家總是告訴我，還有數百萬其他罷課的學生，說我們應該為我們達成的事而自豪。但是我們唯一該看的東西是排放量的曲線。而且我很遺憾，這個曲線還在上升。這個曲線就是我們唯一該看的東西。 我們每做一個決定，就應該自問：這決定對那個曲線會有什麼影響？我們再也不該用顯示經濟成長的圖表來衡量我們的財富與成功，而是用溫室氣體排放的曲線。我們再也不應該只問：「我們的錢夠不夠撐下去？」更要問：「我們是否有足夠的碳預算額度撐下去？」這應該、也必須要成為我們新貨幣的核心。 許多人說，我們對氣候危機沒有任何解決之道。他們說得沒錯。因為我們能怎麼解決呢？你要怎解決「人類歷來面對最大的危機？」你要怎麼「解決」戰爭？你要怎麼「解決」第一次上月球？你要怎麼「解決」發明新的東西？ 氣候危機是我們面對過最簡單也是最困難的議題。最簡單，是因為我們知道我們必須做什麼。我們必須停止溫室氣體的排放。最困難，是因為我們目前的經濟還是完全倚靠燃燒化石燃料，為了創造持續的經濟成長而毀滅了生態系統。 「那我們到底要怎麼解決呢？」你們問我們──這些為氣候而罷課的學生。 而我們說：「沒有人能確知。但我們必須停止燃燒化石燃料，恢復大自然以及其他許多我們還沒有弄清楚的東西。」 然後你們說：「這不算答案！」 所以我們說：「我們必須開始把危機當危機來處理──就算我們沒有完全的解決方法也要行動。」 「這還是不能算答案。」你們說。 然後我們就開始討論循環經濟（circular economy）、大自然的再野化（rewilding nature），以及公正轉型（just transition）。然後你們不了解我們在談什麼。 我們說，還沒有人知道所有這些必須的解決辦法，我以我們必須在科學之下團結起來，一路上一起找辦法。但是你們不聽。因為這些答案是用來解決你們大多數人還沒完全搞懂的危機。或許你們是不想搞懂。 你們不聽從科學，因為你們唯一有興趣的解決之道，得能讓你們繼續過以前那樣的日子。就像現在。這些答案再也不存在了。因為你們沒有即時行動。 要避免氣候的崩潰，就必須要有高瞻遠矚的眼光。我們必須要打好地基，但我們可能還不知道到底該怎麼蓋天花板。 有時候我們就是必須得找個方法。我們決定要完成一件事的時候，就什麼都做得到。我確定，如果我們像是面對緊急狀況一樣開始行動的那一刻，我們就可以避免氣候和生態的浩劫。人類適應力非常強。我們還可以處理好這件事。但是可以這樣做的機會不會持續很久。我們必須今天就開始。我們再也沒有藉口了。 我們這些孩子犧牲了我們的教育和童年，並不是要你們告訴我們，在你們創造的這個社會裡，有什麼事是你們覺得在政治上是可行的。我們走上街頭不是為了讓你跟我們自拍、告訴我們你們真的很佩服我們所做的事。 我們這些孩子這樣做，是要喚醒成人。我們這些孩子這樣做，是要你們拋下你們的歧異，像面對危機時一樣開始行動。我們這些孩子這樣做，是因為我們想要回我們的希望和夢想。 我希望我的麥克風有打開。我希望你們都能聽見我說的話。

It's an enigma, how adult people round the world can adore and admire this 16 years old school girl. Don't they have any scientific education as a base to evaluate all these complicated issues about the climate..? What IPCC says and claims are just "qualified" guesses and forecasts. Nobody of Greta's fans question anything of the content in her preaches. They are just blind stalkers to a new female Messias character. It's frightening how naive and gullible people are so easily affected by emotions....... what Al Gore claimed and predicted two decades ago. And... none of his predictions have occurred. NONE of them !! But... he became a billionaire on his films, books and tv-perform. !?! Don't you questioning anything that IPCC reports to media..? They are already proved wrong with some claims. and.. they never mention their own fact to media, that the Sun's incoming heat radiation has increased during the last decades...!??

One year ago today since this speech was given, according to her book.

[@michjord0001]

Video misses the beginning of her speech: "My name is Greta Thunberg. I am sixteen years old. I come from Sweden and I speak on behalf of future generations. I know many of you don't want to listen to us - you say we are just children. But we're only repeating the message of united climate science. Many of you appear concerned that we are losing valuable lesson time, but I assure you we will go back to school the moment you start listening to science and give us a future. Is that really too much to ask? In the year 2030..."

[@gustavocadenashernani5993]

Is time for scientific responses. University of East Anglia published on Sep 2013 that "the earth will cease to be habitable somewhere between 1.75 and 3.25 billion years from now". We need more sustanaible data about that announcement, I think it is time to treat with respect what was pointed out by Greta Thurnberg. And avoid laughter that tend to underscore what was mentioned by this young woman: the responsible people do not see with seriousness the great problem that we will face in a short time the inhabitants of the planet earth

[@marborable]

I suggest that those watching this video go do a Planetary Dynamics course. It's not easy, but you get a full understanding of how planets are formed. You understand how various atmospheres work across a range of worlds and their tectonics. And to all those who laugh at this wonderful girl... The shame you will be feeling in 15 years - you deserve it. Just to put in perspective how stupid humans are: One Carrington level CME from the Sun hitting us will wipe out all electronics on one side of the Planet. (Or more depending on duration) No-one bothered to harden power plants against it, because of the cost. Yet we have an entirely electronic society. Now the kicker: That happened in 1859. Our reaction? Willfully ignoring it. Ironically, it might be the answer to our carbon problem. By sending half the planet back to the stone age. And these kids cant use an abacus.

Why does no one ever speak about the fact that we need to reduce population, plain and simple method to reduce pollution environmental degradation and methane/CO2 emissions it would seem but I suppose that can never come to pass as long as countries compete for resources and we bicker about trivial things

[@Norgg.]

The wealthiest 10% of the population produce half the emissions, those are the ones that can be easily cut first. Reducing population ethically through education and access to family planning would take much more time than we have, and even so we need to work towards net emissions below zero.
