Together we are making a difference. I come from Sweden and back there it is almost the same problem as here, as everywhere, that nothing is being done to stop the climate and ecological crisis. Despite all the beautiful words and promises. And we are now facing an existential crisis, the climate crisis and ecological crisis, which have never been treated as crisis before, they have been ignored for decades. And for way to long the politicians and the people in power have gotten away with not doing anything at all, to fight the climate crisis and the ecological crisis but we will make sure that they will not get away with it any longer. Humanity is now standing at a crossroads we must now decide which path we want to take. How do we want the future living conditions for all species to be like. We have gathered here today and on many other places around London and across the world too, we have gathered today because we have chosen which path we want to take and we are waiting for the others to follow our example. And we will never stop fighting, we will never stop fighting for this planet and for ourselves or our futures and the futures of our children and grand children. Thank you

I didn't ask but since you told me I am informed and will do everything in my power to try to help out

Listen to what she’s saying LISTEN! Climate changing is biggest problem right now. But there are many people who just ignore this but this is our future. Do you want to live in plastic and good quality air. In 2019 there is 34 billion carbon dioxide in the sky. 34 BILLION! Find solutions think of your future and help yourself, help others. HELP THE WORLD!

She is a living meme. I didn't think it was possible to mock yourself.

I'm so glad I drive two V8 cars including a 470 HP Charger that gets 14 MPG (on a good day).

As soon as they get the working classes riding on bikes and buses, and eating beans for every meal all will be well !.

[toasterstrudels]

I did go to climate strike on Friday, and holy macaroni. It was beautiful to see all the people who want to help. The earth is burning up. Y'all don't think it's gonna harm us but trust me, it will.

[stuartbassett]

I feel sorry for her. She does'nt seem to realise that nothing is going to change, nobody really cares, everyone is out for what they can take from this world. Nobody is really listening. There's so much money involved nothing will be done that will make any difference whatsoever. They are still building coal fired power stations. Everyone wants cheap air travel, the rain forests are still being destroyed, and the underdeveloped countries in the world just want what the rest of the world has had for years. It's their industrial revolution and noone is going to stop or change that. She's delusional if she thinks she will make a difference. The massive group of leaders she preaches to are just humouring her, then they all applaud and and do absolutely nothing. Give it up Greta, you're wasting your time. Get on with your life.

Raise taxes for young people starting their first jobs. They seem to like that sort of thing.

I can imagine how much this young girl is under presser. 😔😔😔 but the fact is that she has chosen this way. And she is right. I just hope she will be safe and well protected

The climate is fine I live in Scotland and we are lucky to get some sun

[jamesfiaco]

The only way you can hold somebody accountable is by wishing and praying for their personal soul and spirit to pay out and pick up the tab for all these moments of missed opportunity and then a person needs to live in accordance to validate such a highly involved aspect of physical mental financial spiritual accountability. Because global pollution has diminished quality of life in such a way that today's people are living dying yielding the worst spiritual kickback that has ever been manifested since the dawn of creation only getting worse with each and every breath. Nobody cares about the temperature most don't understand that climate change has been exacerbated intensified by global pollution only getting worse with each and every breath in layman's terms the truth is what sets one's fee for all eternity.

There is no age for being a doomsday preacher.

Good job democrats, you have somehow allowed Lisa Simpson to go up on stage and complain

[prophetascending]

She has a script she sticks to, with buzz words, and key points.

However, try to get her to talk like a person, and not a robot, and you'll have problems

[antoninascottedeson]

what a wonderful speech: I play this to my Year 8 classes when I teach writing a persuasive speech.

[sudhirmishra]

You are right after despite of promises of power there's nothing developed in atmosphere
