Climate strike week 227. The climate crisis doesn’t go on holiday. #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike #PeopleNotProfit

@gretathunberg Is it weird that I instantly was able to use the words of these signs to rephrase the "Still Alive" song from Portal?

"This is a crisis. Look again at that dot that's here, that's home!"...

"People not Profit"...

@gretathunberg if you look at what you are doing you are destroying systems that have brought prosperity and allow for innovations to help the environment in favour of stopping innovation and reducing prosperity.

Even if the problem was as dire as you put it your way of working de facto means mass famine/less people to "safe the climate".

I'd rather have people die of climate change then due to policy change. Let nature kill us off and be done with it.

@mark @gretathunberg I had that thought too. if you spend less, someone will earn less, and that money may be just someone‘s whole income down there in Africa.

@DerGretist @gretathunberg even worse: if there is no economic development in 3rd world countries they will be stuck on wood and coal for heat. They will also be very susceptible for the whims of 1st world countries when it comes to natural resources.

Lithium for our great "eco friendly" cars is very polluting, mined by lot's of forced (child) labour and thus not "sustainable".

Also co2 emissions in the EU have declined significantly. I would look at China on this one.

@DerGretist @gretathunberg ant last but not least: what do we think will happen if the predicted co2 levels _are_ reached?

There is no causal connection between co2 and temperature. And even if there where: a rise in global temp of 2 degrees would mean way more fertile land. It would actually be beneficial to wild life and plant life alike.

Not withstanding increased flooding, etc.. Do you know deaths due to climate have decreased in the past 100 years? By a LOT?

Alarmism is not good.

@mark
The problem really is as dire as we say and people have already started dying from it - see Pakistan, or Nigeria, to name only two examples. And it will get worse. Soon it might be you. Your money might help you to shut your eyes a little longer, but it will be useless when there is no food to buy.
@gretathunberg

@leipoa @gretathunberg strange that you would say I have closed my eyes when I simply have a different view.

People have _always_ died from weather circumstances. Not climate though: that is the state of the weather over a longer period of time. And if you look at the numbers _less_ people are dying due to weather related phenomenon.

And how about starvation? Global warming would produce _more_ fertile soil. Not less...

Climate-Related Deaths Are at Historic Lows, Data Show

The individual risk of dying from weather-related disasters declined by 99 percent over the last century, despite a steady increase in CO2 output.

@mark
You don't have a different view, Mark, you're either ridiculously uneducated or in denial. Come back when you've read the IPCC report.
@gretathunberg

@leipoa @gretathunberg something tells me you have not read any IPCC report: https://www.ipcc.ch/reports/ which one are you referring to?

No where does any IPCC report state the end of the world is neigh.

You should really read this book: https://www.amazon.nl/Apocalypse-Never-Environmental-Alarmism-Hurts/dp/0063001691

Since you do not seem open at all but start calling me uneducated or in denial I think it best to leave the discussion. Bad for my energy (and we must preserve energy!).

@gretathunberg
We need to be persistent in fighting climate change every day. We need to keep on convincing more + more people, family members, friends, collegues + neighbors to join us + fight with us for our future on a healthy planet. Happy holidays!
@gretathunberg No, but it sure does make holidays challenging. More results of climate change. Battle on Ecowarrior!
@gretathunberg You are such an inspiration to the world, especially the youth. In my younger days I protested war and inequality. Now I live in a remote area of NY State on a farm where I do my part by growing organically and leaving much land fallow. We also live life as vegans. We all have our part to play.
@gretathunberg damn. i thought you went back to that website with the eletrical cars.. and lithium destruction.
@gretathunberg hallå grete, om jag inte var så bekväm så hade jag besökt dig för länge sedan.
