Greta Thunberg powerful statement on climate:

This young lady is amazing.....

1. She's 17, but she looks younger than that in this video. Yet she is so mature.

She blows my mind. She is so intense and articulate.

I have a 17 year old son. All he cares about is sports, his friends and his girlfriend. In that order. LOL

2. I'm curious to learn more about Greta's parents

[Celerity]

6. Her mum is an opera singer (and a Swedish Eurovision winner), her father an actor, her grandfather

Olof was a director and the voice of Bamse, the most famous Swedish cartoon here.

3. No video games??

My son is 24 and all he cares about is on line gaming....

[SunSeeker]

5. LOL. Ok, you got me. By "his friends" I'm including online videogames with his buds.

I feel your pain.

4. She's bearing the weight of the world on her young frame.

The weight most of the rest of the world should be sharing.

7. Give it a like on Youtube as the ratio is lopsided the wrong way /nt

[Celerity]

8. done

so many of the comments are sickening

[jimlup]

10. Yes there appears to be a right wing attack to descredit Greta

It won't work since she's far bigger and more important than they are but it is still disheartening to see so many willfully ignorant people.

9. Poor Greta. By the time she's 50, 10 billion people will want to live as well as the Swedes.

Although I expect that the cheap sources of hydrocarbons are gradually exhausting and that carbon emissions will not rise much beyond current levels, mainly because of economics.

11. THE issue of our time.

I'm glad to see this, lest we forget during all
the other madness going on.

[fescuerescue]

12. Glad to hear that she is still working

Hadn't heard much from her in awhile.
