Greta Thunberg's UN speech excerpt
"You have stolen my dreams, my childhood, with your empty words...We are in the beginning of a massive extinction, and all you can talk about is the money, and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you. For more than thirty years the science has been crystal clear."
-- climate change activist Greta Thunberg to world leaders at UN
"She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future."
-- Trump
"I can't wait for Stephen King's sequel, 'Children of the Climate.'"
-- Laura Ingraham
"She is the Greta Effect. She's causing and instilling fear in millions of kids around the world, and actually has them believing that Government can legislate our climate...It's almost like medieval witchcraft again."
-- industry-funded climate denier Mark Morano
After Trump's tweet, she changed her Twitter 'bio' to read "A very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future." If what she said isn't a remarkable slam, considering her speech, I don't know what is.
She's absolutely right. Greed is destroying the planet under the name of capitalism. Eternal economic growth is against the laws of physics: at some point it's going to come crashing back, and that point might be the destruction of the ecosphere. Every time there's an economic boom and "economists" say there's no end in sight, guaranteed there's going to be a resounding crash in the not distant future.
