Tree planting is so easy! It’s the best way to start to fight climate change! It’s a mission. (I worked as a tree planter on the Uncompaghre National Forest.. above where I now live in my hometown.) I haven’t thought about how much fun this experience was, because I was just 19 then. The Forest Service contacted with locals to plant evergreen tree saplings, which were in a large cloth bag. We planted these little trees in the rain ..and ..in the mud finally. Yet, to plant trees allows for more oxygen in the atmosphere and for more shade in hot summer days. Also, saving and recycling bath water!! (You can water your house plants so easily then. I have been doing this for years!) Other than this, it’s gonna be necessary to learn how to conserve our natural resources. It’s not impossible either. But.. conservation becomes a way of life then. Wasting stuff is not necessary. With everything packaged in plastic wrappers, we naturally don’t think about how easily our commercial foods really are. If …we have to raise a garden, then we would start to realize.. where our food originates. It’s not easy though. I know lots of enthusiastic gardeners though. They do this like the first reaction to winter ending ..and spring beginning. They also save their seeds from their veggies!! Yup!! They make gardening look possible!!
and when did you first see co2??-greta well my dad said pull my finger
and thats when i saw it i smelt it to and after mommy makes beans i can
some times even taste it. it taste bad
Hypocrisy, thy name is Greta! FACT✅
Go back to Sweden, attend school, and do something with that ridiculous braid, Greta!
Lies, slander and obfuscation will make America great again.
Fighting for their right to breath, in masks, LOL.
In Texas when your pet rock is wet, it's raining, if it is hot, it's a warm dry day, when it blows back and forth, it's a tornado, it's cold, it's cold….has the weather become that difficult, a cave man can do it.
CNN Director of Operations told the world this propaganda was next. All lies.
Did you know that the gadget you are caressing, lovingly looking at, along with in your PC, iPhone, TV, etc. commonly include the following metals: aluminium, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, gold, iron, lead, lithium, manganese, mercury, palladium, platinum, selenium, silver, and zinc?
Where do you think these metals come from? They come from the ground, mined at a high cost in human health to those poor underpaid souls who do the digging and the environment. I know how you are ‘concerned’ with your selective morals and scruples also towards your fellow man who suffer the dire consequences of extracting and processing them, in illness and a short life.
Just as you are indignant about China using all those fossil fuels to turn them into needful things that billions want to buy and throw away because ‘better’ needful things come along; thus, needful old things are discarded. But stop and think before you go into ‘protest’ mode and demand justice where it particularly threatens you and your rather comfy life. Take a peep on the back of your e-reader, laptop, android or iPad, etc. Look at the label which says… Made in China.
So, now you are part of the problem; what to do?
Well, you could do what Greta Thunberg does and scream, letting us know just how hard your life is, and demand governments keep your lifestyle going but at the same time reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Or you could saunter around the world pretending you are green (for the camera), being followed by hundreds of (not so green) reporters leaving a carbon footprint any vintage 'jet setter' would be hard put to equal.
You could even join the great unwashed; dole spongers etc. dye your hair, stop traffic, dance, and demand this, that, or the other and listen to some wise celeb, pop, or movie star informing you what to sacrifice in order to sustain their lifestyles, mentioning no names (Mr. de Caprio).
Or perhaps really go green, eat tree bark or cabbages, thrash yourselves with stinging nettles in repentance of your wicked, hedonistic past life while preaching the virtues of wearing a hessian shirt, and feeling mighty while pouring relentless scorn on the rest of us.
But on reflection, would it help? Well, no, not really. Even remonstrating with those lying supermarket assistants who told you that paying for your plastic bag would help save the planet would not help. But at least it stopped you traveling hundreds of miles to throw it off some seashore or other when you finished with it, thus saving some leatherback turtle in the Pacific Ocean somewhere.
Being part of the problem; what not to do!
Please do not start the blame game; as proven, your accusations will all be pointed back at you.
Do not protest at climate summits; the hypocrisy will come back and haunt you. After all, you are only demanding (like millions of others), what is everyone ELSE is going to do about it!
Do not feel sorry for those billions of third-world countries in Africa and South America who have sold their mineral rights to China and the good old USA. Their people will be streaming to your shores by the tens of thousands very soon, and you can comfort them then.
Do not, on any account, feel sorry for your children. You know, the young ones that live with you demanding every up-to-date gadget going while at the same time lecturing you on the perils of climate change, with all the intelligence and experience hindsight provides, again mentioning no names (Ms. Thunberg).
But of course, you can feel sorry for those who bark at the Moon with their climate change denial, alternative theories, postulations, etc.
When you think for yourself instead of being told what to think, you will rationalize the predicament facing all of us. The truth will dawn on you that one thing is inevitable.
It is getting warmer, it is not going to stop getting warmer, and this will have consequences…For everyone on the planet!

If these young protesters dumped their iPhones, TV'S games consoles etc we might lower emissions . Ask them how many 'old' gadgets have they got through. All at a cost to the environment and increased CO2 emissions .
Little Greta helping people like David Attenborough to brainwash young fragile minds with his global warming/climate change lie/fraud.
Go away phoax news.

Papacy LauDato Si promotes Sunday Rest for nature for climate change, solution for climate change. Dont get the Mark of the beast which is the SUNDAY LAW which a FORCE Sunday worship/rest/false Sabbath that whoever will not comply will be persecuted, cant but or sell or be killed. Papacy is the 1st beast of Revelation 13 and beast of Revelation 18 and 4th beast of Daniel 7. America (2nd beast of Revelation 13 will form an image to the 1st beast and as a lamblike beast with 2 horns (separation of church and state that will unite) and will speak as a dragon through its LAWS. FINAL test in this last days is worship and loyalty to God. TRUTH vs ERROR. TRADITION vs SCRIPTURE. Exodus 20:8-11 REMEMBER the Sabbath day to keep it holy. SABBATH He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Sabbath is SATURDAY not SUNDAY. Learn more about Sabbath at Sabbathtruth.com
Not a teenager. AN ADULT.
Do not assume all "bergs" and "steins" are your enemy, just most.
Fighting pollution is important,
The climate is driven by the 11,000 year cycle of the sun
Socialism is essential to bringing a resolution to the climate crisis. Capitalism has not only failed in solving this issue and will continue to fail, but it also actively created large amount of pollution and waste. Capitalists are only driven by profit, and there are HUGE financial motives to continue exploitation growth the earth while maintaining a “green†or “eco friendly†public perception. Systemic fundamental change is the only solution to a growing problem that literally is impending death of all humans on this planet. Don’t trust the people that got us here to get us out.
