Greta facing the deputies

Greta Thunberg joins teenage superheroes in history
From Joan of Arc to Albert Einstein, the 16 year olds had a profound impact on humanity. But Greta's impact can be greater than any of them.

Greta's unyielding and stubborn determination has inspired millions of people around the world to take action to tackle the climate crisis the planet is facing. Her campaign also provoked attacks against her by outraged climate change deniers - the majority of whom are much older men ...
... She is perhaps the most admired and insulted 16-year-old girl in history, thanks to the instantaneous and global nature of communications in the XNUMXst century ...
... I think the reason Greta has become such a powerful voice is because of her unpretentious style and her flawless message that she carries with force, like Moses descending from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments.

"It is not for us to take this responsibility, but as leaders behave like children, we have no other choice," she said recently in an interview with ABC News.

"Ok Boomer" or the tearing of an unbearable vision of the world The article goes well with the topic of the subject, starting with this image

In early November 2019, during a parliamentary session in New Zealand, Chloe Swarbrick, a young 25-year-old MP, is interrupted in her speech by an older man. She is speaking to the assembly on climate change. Complaints arise. An elderly man tries to interrupt him. The member then launched a brief “OK Boomer”. Then she continues.

From there, this expression already popular in the USA will spread even more widely and reach, with a few weeks of delay, the French-speaking world.

I am in the targeted category, but I am trying to assume.

“Ok boomer” does not mean “what you say is not true”. It's deeper than that. “Ok boomer” means rather: “All the reasons, all the vision of the world, all the experience which more or less consciously underlie your criticism (or your advice, or your nuances) rest on a pure illusion. Why ? Because everything that you consider normal and reasonable is in fact abnormal and insane; your life is inscribed in an exceptional historic parenthesis that is closing. ”

In Paris, governments around the world have pledged to keep the global temperature increase “well below 2 ° C”. But in the latest IPCC update - the SR1.5 report - scientists point out that 2 ° C is not a safe level. Today, we have already exceeded around 1,2 ° C of global warming, and in their report, they rather emphasize the importance of limiting global warming to less than 1,5 ° C. And this, to give us the best possible chance toavoid going beyond the so-called tipping points and triggering irreversible chain reactions beyond human control...
less than 7,5 years of “status quo” emissions today until this budget is completely exhausted. It is the carbon footprint that gives us the best ratings for reaching the 1,5 ° target.

[ABC2019]

When we have exceeded 1,5 ° C and the fossil peak has been naturally reached, so that we will be on a naturally decreasing slope (with crises at the end), what will become of the discourse?

Stop your Ben-Hur tank

... the following

During the corona pandemic, policy makers repeat that we must "listen to science and the experts". Well, according to the world's top scientists and biodiversity experts, the pandemic is likely to be followed by more deadly and more destructive diseases unless we stop the incessant destruction of natural habitats.

... In the aftermath of the crown crisis, many argue that we must take advantage of it. That when we restart the economy, we have to adopt a so-called “green stimulus plan”.
... If all countries were to achieve the emission reductions they set for themselves, we would always be heading for a catastrophic rise in global temperature of at least 3-4 degrees. The people in power today have practically already given up the possibility of bequeathing a decent future to future generations. Abandoned without even trying ...

The climate and ecological crisis cannot be resolved in today's political and economic systems. It is no longer an opinion. It's a fact...
