Its so ironic and basically a little pathetic that many of these jokers shouting ” liberal media this” and “liberal media that” have channels filled with liberal video games and liberal music.
These are the same fools who know nothing about history ,even recent history , if it isnt part of their edited narrative.
If liberals and progessives weren’t around the only entertainment these echo chamberists would have is reading the bible and singing choir music. And if they’re real lucky a priest might give them a helping hand … undressing.

Nothing new. The poor girl reads what was written for her. She does not understands the issue. She was chosen to improve the show.
As she and the people behind her have no scientific education and no understanding of the complex problems. So, her talk is nothing than blah blah blah.
But there is danger when such madness grows. Once about 500 years ago we had the crusade of children and we had recently the RAF, the communists who murdered in Germany. When these mad people see that nothing is done as they want then aggression can appear and they will become killers. It is possible.

The best thing hippies can do is invest their time coming up with inventions better futuristic that eliminate the need for electricity. Not sent us back in time hundreds of years. That’s the problem with these hippies. They literally want to send us back to the Stone age.

i loved the TED platform,it was a great platform for knowledge and new tech,now its just another rplatform for SJW, BLM,and climate warriors,sad
if this continues i will withdraw following this channel, we see and hear enough of this crazyness, if its broke,fix it,how come these movements didnt react sooner
and to all those “warriors”, come up with viable and payable solutions in stead of shouting at the top of your lungs,but maybe its just to be noticed and not to solve a problem

You are only a child, so know your place…
Children shouldn’t decide our future with their voices in uneducated interests that act way above their own heads.
Till they can learn the weight of that choice, they are children… They should be treated as children not as leaders.
A leader must learn to become that.

tell that to the politics….I don’t give a f* about climate any more. Nearly 40 years old and i didn’t see a single sign of improvement in the world’s politics. Every “good action” hides hundreds of bad things, every time ! It’s all over. Humanity is lost. Young generations are even more stupid than ours. We had time 30 years ago. Now it’s too late. Enjoy the fall of men.

*It’s not about giving it’s about taking*
Fossil fuels have been 80% of global energy for over 25 years. Electricity is 20% of global energy. Renewable electricity is 4% of global energy. Solar & wind electricity is 2% of global energy. North Euro solar panels work 11% of the time. North Euro onshore wind turbines work 22% of the time. North Euro offshore turbines work 30% of the time. The F-35 fighter jet works 11% of the time. By 2040 15% of global energy will be renewable. By 2050 30% of global energy will be renewable.
Water stress will threaten 50% of thermal power capacity. By 2025 66% of us will live in water stressed areas. Most solar solar panels will become un-recyclable garbage generating 6 million tons of waste per year by 2050. In the last 10 years the US cut emissions more by switching from coal to gas than Europe did by investing in renewable energy.
Europe gets 50% of its renewable energy burning stuff.
Europe burns 80% of the world’s wood pellets for renewable electricity
Europe burns 80% of its recycled plastic & paper for electricity
Europe burns 50% of its palm oil shipments in cars & trucks
Out of earth’s 1.2 billion vehicles only 6 million are electric
Electric cars will have no positive effect on climate whatsoever
Total greenhouse gases went up 45% in 30 years.
Weather = flash floods + flash fires + flash mobs + flash infections
Climate = 30 years of weather

Only sounds good in speeches, i tried convincing my classmates, let’s do something for the environment, i requested the school for using solar panels, and people to reduce wastage of water. All they did was laugh at me, even worse at school. They mocked me everytime. What i did, plant 12 trees, compared to the trees getting cut down its nothing.
Conclusion: speeches will not make change and neither some 20 to 30 million people compared to 7 billion people.

Not going to front this video hit! I love the throw back film – I think showing that she’s been fighting since she was 12 years old says something, I loved the ending of that speech. “What you do makes me cry at night” This video is very powerful in the sense that these people in power didn’t listen then, and look at what fucking happened to the world! This video doesn’t offer a solid solution but it is powerful in a sense this capitalistic did not age well and it’s the government and corporations to blame.

@Nancy Reyes maybe china should join the rest of the world! You know china has concentration camps, the most racist country in the world, wheres their racial diversity training? GTFOH!! They also steal every intellectual property possible and for tthe last 40 years since, they segregate their people and on a wim, 22 million people went “missing” in china roughly one day because of cv19 so seriously though what are you arguing? Western civilization has done more for human than anything in history. Just as in you live in the best time in history, so keep your judgment for yourself, pfff

Don’t describe green policies as “radical”. What’s “radical” is the unregulated continuation of the status quo: the wealthy elite deciding to do nothing and leaving the insurmountable damage on the lower and middle class
Haley

I agree with your sentiment, but regarding the definition of “radical” this is exactly wrong. “Radical” can be defined as what is different from the status quo.

30 years… we’ve had warnings and signs…yet what did we do? We let ourselves to be divided in the name of politics, war, religion and greed . We have invited the doom of ourselves. The Earth will heal eventually, but humanity won’t be able to see it. Unless…. We take action. The governments won’t listen to us. They are more interested in building their economies and are lost in the delusions of a glorious future, while the reality is that the collapse has already began, slowly and steadily it will strike .
