Why is the interviewer trying to lead greta into specifically commenting on british politics, bizarre
Don’t go on British TV Greta unless you want to be endless patronized by someone asking essentially the same question over and over
She should be highlighting her cause outside the embassies of those who really are polluting the world. But, hey, it's much easier abd safer to pull faces at Trump.
I just knew the presenter would bring "Woke" into it. Why it's nothing to do with it
@@Ghengiskhansmum this would be a by the numbers British television interview. How many times did she ask Greta about ‘the King’, and Greta kept replying it’s not about one person
@@Ghengiskhansmum Journalists should face summary execution for even using the word 'woke'. Particularly in the context of the greatest threat to ever face mankind. Will they still be prattling on about climate activists being too 'woke' when Africa is uninhabitable and there are 1 billon climate refugees?
She is experienced enough by now to know that interviews can be very challenging and/or patronizing. The important thing is that her message will still be seen and heard. You won't get anywhere if you only do the easy things. She did a really good job at not playing along with the interviewer's narrative.
Edit: Grammar.
It's bleak because we are treating the people trying to highlight the crisis like they are nutters when it's the people and politicians who keep talking about it like there is nothing they can do or we aren't moving fast enough.
There's no evidence that the any climate catastrophe is impending.
@@user-lt5zf4xh7d No evidence ? The denialism is strong in this one
She hasn’t come up with a single solution.
@@deejay7648
Its D.J thought I would find you here.
They are nutters in the main
How can I take this seriously when there is no mention of China ?
This just reinforces for me how frustrating the British media is...they are not interested in letting people tell their story, just chastising them with the same talking points and focusing on low hanging soundbites like what her opinion would be on specific politicians
Really? What solutions has she offered? None. She gets all the media attention for offering nothing whilst other people who invent real-time solutions to 'climate change' problems remain in the shadows. She is merely a puppet mouthpiece for the global elites, and idiots like you cont to fall for it. Family is one of most powerful in Sweden, and are all Marxists.
yeah that was incredibly frustrating to watch and the interviewer kept pushing it over and over
Just only Greta Thunberg net worth is $2 million in 2022.
Greta Thunberg calls herself as a Swedish environmental activist but realistically she is a charlatan or international environmental scammer. Greta Thunberg is milking only the US and European countries but all the rest of the world stayed polluted, dirty and nasty, and Greta Thunberg do not even mention about it as she knows she cannot practicing quackery there, and she will not obtain any money from Russia, or China, or African and Latin America countries, and other advantages through pretense or deception.
Greta Thunberg is getting rich, Brazilian Rain Forest is cut down, and all realistic environmental groups in the US and Europe are destroyed due to no funds that Greta Thunberg milked all their money. Keep making Greta Thunberg richer!
That’s all media lol
very good point
Basic message - it is not about me, or my opinions, it's about the world and my moral obligation to do everything I can to avoid catastrophe.
Very well said.
and until sufficient people with the opposite attitude DIE and return their CARBON to the Earth and we stop the Oil & Gas & Coal lobbies from paying for our elected representatives NOTHING will fucking change.
Oil & Gas & Coal PROFITS are killing this PLANET and I'm fucking PAYING for it.
God Bless Greta for her guts to speak to the brainwashed "adults" and their conspiracy do-nothing finger-pointing, cooking and killing this planet that we ALL live on.
Understandable you see it that way. Changes suggest from her opinion will mean you have to change and that’s something unpleasant for u.
@@roman2011 NO. Paying for the fucking OIL that is killing the planet is painful for me. Can you read at all????
What a catastrophe? It's just delirium, raving.
I think its funny how Russian trolls and dullards act up when they see this young lady.
I’m Australian and our whole country hates her and she don’t have the guts to come here because we will point the fraud out.
@@bullshitstomper9417 ^^acting up as I said
She is so much more articulate than most of the politicians in Westminster - and all in a second language!
Very impressive young lady.
She's a puppet for corporations who have invested in green tech'.
@@jasondevon481 gainfully employed too then. Impressive lass
Very true Irene.
Yes, because she answers every question. 😁
Books have a huge carbon footprint and rely on huge amounts of fossil fuels. So shouldn't we stop books, Greta?
@@OptimisticHominid those also have a huge carbon footprint. Every action we take online has emissions attached. Greta says she wants immediate system change...but she's happy to travel across Europe to appear on TV to promote her new book.
@@OptimisticHominid
Clueless.... 🙄
Activism without ultimate action is merely useless hope.

Well evwrybody needs money and this is her job, being a hypocrite
@@darthvaderskywalker7657 why she need money she already rich and she want more money what a greedy
@@amrizulkifle9771 yea she's greedy and she doenst have money her parents did, she gotta have her own so this is her job
Incredibly annoying questions by the presenter, but Greta really wrestled through them. Well done!
Agreed..!!
Yes, the lobbies are strong in her mind, and activism is like fantasy.
Journalism has to be about annoying questions, otherwise it's a chat for sunday afternoon...
@@hammersmithodeon9884 No, it's the annoying (poor quality or pointless) questions that make it a chat for a 'light' Sunday afternoon chat! Journalism once used to be about informing. Today, like all general media, it's about ratings, revenue and influence.
The journalist has to ask these "annoying questions"because otherwise people would accuse of her of being partial or a unquestioning lefty environmentalist who does not challenge Greta in anyway.She has to present those skeptics or critics who might criticise Greta and her actions.Great has faced much muh wrose than this from trolls and complete envirinment crisis skeptics and deniers.She can certainly handle this,its nothing compared to what she has dealt with
She told us what would happen 5 years ago. And now, 5 years later, it's all happening!
She didn't tell anything. Scientists told. She was a autistic kid the world listened to too much.
What's all happening?
She was 14 five years ago and no one had heard of her
People are warning about anthropogenic climate change since the early 80s.
@@belkentens I had maybe should think more ,Donald trump tried to pick a fight with a child
How many times did Greta have to assert that focussing on individual’s decisions to go to COP is not really the point? The interviewer seemed frustratingly out of touch, trying to push the crux of the interview down a direction that wasn’t helpful. Thought Greta handled that really well.
this is a very good public speaker and handles the media well
Eg minute seven or eight query does she feel an affinity for Prince/King Charles describing how he was denounced as a kook for attempting environmental activism decades ago.
Careful hon!! From there the interviewer restates the question to be is king Charles an asset to the cause, though? “Possibly.” Good answer.
Then around 16: 00, she’s asked if gives who responded to Covid 19 with broadly impactful limitations on peoples freedoms and opportunities ought to consider in Greta’s opinion using this approach to deal with the climate crisis. If she said yes absolutely well there’s your headline!!!
Greta the eco-Nazi. She handled it skillfully but I forget exactly what she said.
Thunberg would have some credibility if she actually studied towards a PHD in what she talks about and ceased talking in generalities. I hear general Malthusian nothingness coming out of her mouth. Half an hour of anti humanistic rhetoric.
I read her book, it helped me see that our house is on fire. She is honest, truthful, doesn’t make a penny. She cares about the planet, that is all.
Gullible.
😂
@@rajkobjelica4905 conspiracy theorist thinker. No one on this planet could possibly not be after making money, and genuinely wants to help save the planet. Your cynicism knows no bounds…
Relax there , research past climate, it Always changed or we would still be in the ice age ...
@@jenniferconroy4517 it hasn’t changed this fast. It was 27 degrees at the end of October in London yesterday!
We don't have a cost of living crisis, we have a wealth inequality crisis. Tax the rich, and make the oil companies responsible for cleaning up their mess, they should pay climate reparations to the biggest impacted countries. Anyone with the power to fix this issue is motivated to do the opposite
Puppet of the WEF
"Everything thats happening now, is happening completely legal" she summarized the core of the problems in one short sentence
Agreed. That one statement points out the biggest issue with why nothing is really being done in addressing the many problems with why no one that has been got the power or has taken power has done anything meaningful to make a difference for the better.
OK, vote the bums out of office!
@@hewasfuzzywuzzy3583
She Burns up more oil and gas in 1 year than I do in my whole life. She's just not credible.
I'm not sure what I expected, but I didn't like this interview. Both parties were guarded almost the entire time. I think the journalist did a poor job in structuring her approach as well her questions. Seemed she was having a hard time trying to probe Greta while keeping in mind she's still a teen. So she failed in breaking the communication barrier and making Greta feel more at ease. I wonder if someone like Trevor Noah would have more success in having a natural conversation.
Not certain if it's known, that unregulated nuclear testing in Africa causes wind shear, and may contribute to the spurn of the hurricanes. Is it known that black soot from burning soon lands on icebergs and helps to warm them as sun makes black object warm up.
King Charles not going to COP is a disgrace. After all his years of campaigning on such matters it feels to me like He's been ordered not to have his voice allowed, and He's missing a global unifying opportunity, especially as an inaugural speech to the world regarding global need and necessity on this matter.
The king of England; My King, in modern times, is a shameful coward.
I don't think it's easy to choose between activities as monarch, even if he has the ultimate say so. There are so many things to consider, especially as he has just been crowned. And looking at the results of previous COP's I don't think it will really matter if he is there or not. His work behind the scenes will be so much more worth for actual progress.
👍 Great interview. I'm impressed by the clarity of her understanding and realization of the implications of climate change, and its impact on people all over the globe. Impressive.
But sadly some very poor questioning.
Paid for your comments?
@@llama2851 You're talking about Glastonbury. The fake photograph supposedly showing the litter after her speech, was actually taken many years earlier. This is desperate stuff, trying to make a point based on a fake photo.
@@llama2851 hello Llama because ‘ you’re words “ everyone left the place a dump covered in litter , She’s a hypocrite ? You’re blaming her for something she didn’t do ? Who do you blame for your pretending you know something you don’t actually know ?

@@IBTU I think the sarcasm has gone over your head.
Greta is a Light Worker, and so is her feels. Light is information built on the foundation of truth and love.

Inspirational person. She still holds her head up high despite the torrent of abuse she consistently receives.
Sad idiots, all of them🙂
@sunny ☀️ day case. in. point
Not an expert = misinformation.
She is a puppet for the WEF. There is a reason she is given a platform by the maistream media. She is used as a means of brainwashing the public through alarmist propaganda.

No to vaccine passports.
Great segment and a very important message. It's 34 degrees in Spain and France right now and that's the forecast for another two weeks in November, maybe even longer. It might sound great for some but wildfires and dried out rivers important for transportation of our food is no joke and indications of something far more serious so let's listen and take action.
As a Swedish person I'm happy that Greta has worked on her delivery and that she also shows her natural sense of humour, it benefits her important message.
Do you mean 34 degress Fahrenheit or Celsius ?
"Natural sense of humor'? 👀
@sunny ☀️ day Iconic😂😂😂😂😂
@@eduardoramos7423 The context did'nt give it away for you, hombre?🙄
@@1newme425 You could'nt be more wrong. Greta would'nt be in all British news channels right now if what she says did'nt count and was of public interest.
The British have their rivers and coastal areas severely polluted by raw sewage since February and the new Tory legislation, it means there will be no fines for the company that destroyed that Cornwall paradise beach yesterday. No EU strict environmental laws needs to be followed by the UK anymore so the private (and foreign) sewage companies in England and Wales (the only two nations in the world with privately owned sewage systems) don't . To not get the expensive sewage cleaning chemicals from Portugal since you raised your trade barrier towards the EU is cheaper, just releasing the raw sewage in your rivers and on your coasts actually means more profit for their shareholders abroad.
The fish caught in your polluted rivers and along your coasts can not be exported due to inferior quality, no one in the EU or elsewhere would eat fish from that toxic soup of yours'. It will most likely show up on British tables and in your fish and chips shops though for the Brits to revoir. We have an old saying "what you release in nature will at some point end up on your table" - you will experience that sooner than you think.
Greta does'nt need more "fame and opportunities" as you so cynically call it, she is already world famous. She is 19, never made money from her international volunteering for climate, 100% of her upcoming book sales goes to charity. I can see how her selfless actions are incomprehensible to you, of course you're not able to understand it.
How many trees died for that book? Why not e-book?
NONE. What's your fucking point? Cutting down a tree does NOTHING to manmade climate change, that CARBON is simply being EXCHANGED from one holding place to another. Man ADDING to the fucking CARBON by digging, mining, drilling the CARBON up from under the mantel is ALL that matters.
God Bless Greta for her guts to speak to you brainwashed "adults" with your conspiracy do-nothing finger-pointing, cooking and killing this planet that we ALL live on.
Being pessimistic isn't a bad thing, it means sometimes the hard-core truth is right there.
People, the worlds climate WILL fix its self its been doing that for millions of years, so it dont need a bunch of Champagne socialists eco worriers lety weirdos to Don thier capes and save a planet that simply don't need saving.
"What is truth?"~POTUS Pilot

Spot on, also nations built their societies on the ability to have free speech. The human race must NEVER stamp on free speech otherwise we are doomed.
Weird how she's never skeptical about the "science" being proclaimed by the IPCC or the U.N. though. She just happens to never critically scrutinize those organizations. Weird lack of consistency there.
The funny thing is that Greta isn't protesting her own country's new government that is doing its level best to roll back as many environmental protection policies in Sweden as possible. Too bad she doesn't have the guts to organise a protest outside Riksdag, I wonder why? 🤔
So that the Climate Summit does not lose its credibility: The Climate Summit is supposed to be postponed to the next year.. because of the intransigence of the failed Egyptian government by its continued repressive violations, daily arrests and enforced disappearance of political and opposition activists.. The number of detainees has exceeded more than 40,000 detainees inside Egyptian prisons.. Also The deteriorating security situation will put visitors at risk
I've been at XR protests, everything stopped when ambulances need to get through. Roads were cleared then reoccupied.
As for being late for work, it's really that people don;t get how "inconvenient" Drought, famine, and heatbulb temperatures in northern latitudes will be (ie, extinction level) if we continue to do nothing.

@@Bevrinton Dude i'm literally working on multiple engineering projects at the moment. I work harder than most.

Shoot the message, not the messenger 😉.
Greta Thunberg, is the spirit and brains in facing our climate crisis. She has showed up and spoken clearly to power. She has displayed for us, time and again, that most people in powerful positions do not care about the living planet. God bless her.
And what are YOU doing about the situation? Have YOU stopped voting for any politician funded into office either directly or by any fossil fuel Lobby, PAC money?
No. She has shown us how media will align and give platform to certain voices that can be easily manipulated for the purpose of moving a particular agenda to the masses
People are going to freeze this winter because of activists, I agree some as to be done but it can't be over night, China is one of the worse countries, so why have you not be to China

The thinking behind Greta’s book is to make her Bank Balance more Green…
Load of rubbish
Unfortunately humanity doesnt take action until there is a major catastrophe where perhaps millions die. Covid is a perfect example. Perhaps when global warming floods coastal cities underwater permanently they will take action which may be too late for coastal cities.

Actually I imagine people looking at the mess that's been created and researching the means to clean it up. I already know the fossil fuel industries won't, they knew since 1959 that the use of oil, natural gas,coal was a direct cause of the global warming.
I had family working in those industries, the amount of misinformation, disinformation was ludicrous, but it was maintained because of paycheques, not ethics. 🙇

Everyone leaving these inaccurate comments have obviously never read this book. This book is highly educational and it's not just Greta talking, she got scientific facts from numerous scientists which tells you what is happening to our world through facts and evidence. Read the book and do your research before leaving such stupid comments.
I'm hearing you Greta and trying to acting my individual everyday level. Making me worries next year summer terrible heat here in the UK, when everything sear, we having water stop usage.
But what is really worries me is my daughter future.
I remember the 80s , my childhood, we used to have proper winters with snow, summers with nice, bearable hot days, springs with lots of rain...
I could just wish, everyone start acting, but unfortunately when I see my parents and the older generation, they just don't care and they're laugh at me.
We have 2 choose who will die, that's ur responsibility.
I look forward to you being cold the entire winter and walking everywhere, never washing in hot water...if you read and learned then maybe people wouldn't laugh at you.

Absolutely brilliant and well constructed interview. I too have Asperger Syndrome and I work in Electronic Engineering. All my life I have been inventing new low power solutions to become free from the current system. I have lived on a 22ft cruiser, OFF GRID for 4 years now and it is very hard, but necessary in order to create and invent a new way of living. Every social problem today can be linked to the slow destruction of the planet one way or another. We must change the way we live. The gears of technology should rotate with the cycles of nature in perfect harmony if we wish to survive and it will take more than a pri-minister or a King to make that so. Keep up the great work Greta, I have some solutions to offer and will help any way I can. :)
Have you stopped voting for any politician funded into office by Oil and Gas Lobby, PAC money, or the fucking Koch Brothers?

I'm working on a water system that will recycle water over & over without having to pay any water bills. Depends on what the water is used for, clean enough to drink, or clean enough to bathe or wash in, then use collected waste matter to create fuel for an incinerator that boils the water. I'm also working on a smokeless fire which I have put it through proof of concept time & time again. A fire that has no smoke, however, it will suck the oxygen up. Being next to a flame, within about 10 minutes, you may become a little dizzy & nauseated.
There is an interesting experiment happening in Netherlands that uses a blast furnace to create black rock that stores carbon and creates SYN-Gas as a bi-product which is cool. Good luck with your water system, it is great that people experiment and not rely on governments for solutions. More houses should be storing rain water to flush toilets and clean with. It is crazy that energy is used to make water drinkable and then to just flush a toilet with it. Water can also be collected from the air using dehumidifiers run by solar panels and a battery back. @@paranoidgenius9164
So Greta how do expect India, Pakistan, China, Africa and Russia to combat climate change? Love to hear your thoughts. Why should western and european countries tax their citizens when other countries dont! You live in your head!!!
Thunberg: "The fossil fuel lobby had more representatives (at COP) than any nation" - Jackie Long: (my paraphrasing) "So .... Rishi and Boris - what about that drama eh ... you and the King, like peas in a Pod! He was Barmy about the environment too!" Jezus wept. This journalist was just not listening to Thunberg, while asking her if it was frustrating to not be listened to!
On to cost of living - green energy is cheaper, but only if it's allowed to scale, something the fossil fuel industry holds back. This was an infuriating interviewer, surely there was someone more capable of holding a conversation who could have done this? 30 minutes is a lot of time to completely fail to have an actual discussion. Who wrote that 'gotcha' sheet she was reading from? Cause there was no deviation from the script - Thunberg handled this car crash of an interview well, including questions like "Should we be holding up ambulances" for fudges sake!
How can a 19 year old be more mature, capable and articulate (in her non native language no less) at understanding this issue than a journalist of over 2 decades? Jackie had been at the BBC longer than Greta has been alive, and here she is trivializing the issue of our literal survival into a gossip rag about people and personalities, the who's who of climate conference attendance like it was the oscars, or even important, despite being handed real opportunities to dig into WHY the fossil fuel lobby is at climate talks.
The media really is the problem. This is a textbook example of the them failing their job, and doing the Oil and Gas industries work for them: Distract and Delay.
"Hope is something we need to do". Indeed.
Jackie wasn't listening she was just following the scripted questions.
But Greta, bless her, what maturity she has shown and answer her questions directly, something our politicians should learn from.
I don't buy what this young lady is selling. (I certainly don't agree with her usage of the word "crisis".) You can call me a "troll" all you want. I call HER a "tool", and my hunch tells me she is being used as one. I don't think it's "cute" at all. And the fact that so many adults are "worshipping" at her "altar" I find even more disturbing.
I don't care if she is an "adult" at the age of 19....To me she is still a "child" that has NOT paid "adult dues". Shame....SERIOUS SHAME on the CYNICAL adults using her as the "tool" that I personally see her being used as.
But then again....Maybe she is an "adult"..albeit a VERY CYNICAL and precocious one, trying to sell her book, so she can make money so she can live more comfortably than the rest of us "trolls" and "ignoramuses"....Maybe even sell enough to afford a house built with gas oven ranges? Perhaps even get invited to A-list celebrity parties? Or the get-togethers of other "limo liberals/ivory tower leftists? If THAT is the case...."You Go girl!"🤬

She doesn't have a clue what to do .so the solution is to panic....no information..just panic
She gets sharper, and sharper, and sharper! Where is the ceiling on this girl? Keep going Greta! You are amazing!!
Tell her to go to China..................................j
Boo to channel 4, she said its not about the individuals and the reporter is harping on about individuals, trying to suck tomorrow's headline out of her.
It's freezing here now. What happened to global warming?
😂🤣
Modern agriculture is oil dependent 3 ways.
1. Artificial fertilisers and other agricultural chemicals made from oil and gas enhance food production x 3.
2. Farm machinery is powered by diesel.
3. Transport from farm to our local shops is also powered by diesel.
An oil crisis means a food crisis.
And your point? And when the Oil Ends, then what? Ever think of that?
@mrunning10
G'day from Downunder.
Yes, I do think about the oil. It will not run out, but demand will exceed supply and then oil products will exceed supply. I once read there are 6,000 products made from oil. Our food supply is oil dependent. Almost every aspect of our lives is oil dependent. An oil crisis means an everything crisis. We cannot get off oil, but mankind will cease using oil when we cannot afford to buy it.
Great to see Greta back again, people need to give her a break though, she's not a politician just a normal person.
The comments all look phoney to me - I wonder why? And I wonder if this one will disappear as if by magic?
Such a clear thinker and brilliant advocate for the system change we need to address the climate emergency
Climate crisis when people cannot even pay for their next meal. Yes that's the top issue.
What system ? The system you and the eco worriers want. People need cheep electricity and gas, old people could die this winter if we hit a cold snap, we don't need windmills or solar panels just yet, we need pure gas and electric. Go complain to China go sit on their roads see what happens, no you won't because you'd be in prison serving ten years. Esay here isn't it, get a slap on the wrist from our soft judges. 😡
There is no climate emergency science proves this not your stupid Scientology
@bullshitstomper9417 I love my petrol car, I love my holidays on a plane, I love my log burner, I love the drilling for North Sea oil. I dont like windmills that dont produce enough power when the wind stops, I dont like electric cars that are more polluting to scrap, and more expensive to own. If everyone had one the cost of charging your car would be as much as petrol. But the nutters of our world want us to go and live in caves no matter the consequences. Better idea go demonstrate in China about all the coal fired power stations they are building and see how far you get 🤔. Its all mass madness from the eco lunatics.
@@michellewilliams5947 climate change, means difficulty to grow food or worse impossibility, hence more famine for everyone.
Why aren’t Greta and others protesting about geoengineering and weather modification. Why isn’t she and others protesting against the war and the potential of nuclear warfare and the existential to humanity by nuclear fallout
These are more urgent needs
It’s some world leaders and some scientists that are the real issue
Transition into a more sustainable energy source needs to be less reactive and more practical.
Protest against warfare and practical sustainability is a better use of these peoples resources.
IMO
Greta is THE 21st Century icon. A figure who will figure with each decade as she ages and the Climate crisis unfolds....
@Superfluous your handle describes your comment well.
She's delusional
@@davis7099
While fossil fuel shills and science deniers active *today* will be reviled for as long as humans survive on this planet.
She is foremost climate scientist. But shouldn't she be gluing herself to the Mona Lisa or something?
Great work Greta 🌍
What work ?
She’s never even had a job grifter her whole ugly little life
Saving the world one plane ride a day huh.
Not keen on a world climate expert advice from a child.
Your ego is intact: she'll turn 20 😉.
Just because people question the rhetoric does not make them a " Climate change denier ".
We have had 40 yrs of Global modelling by the " experts " and we have had 40 yrs of overestimating the effects, not by just some but every model has been incorrect.
Perhaps that is the reason people are starting to mistrust the information.
Also the facts are that globally only 3% of the worlds energy is renewables and that has to have 24/7 back up because of its unreliability.
No amount of pledges are going to stop people using fossil fuels until there is a viable cost effective replacement.
It can, and in my view will come as a gradual change through technology improvements etc.
The presenter asked the question are there billions of activists out there ? or are there billions of selfish people.
What there are out there are literally billions of people being pulled out of poverty exactly through the use of fossil fueled machinery, irrigation and machine powered agriculture, hospital incubators, etc etc
Do we deny those people the chance to have what we have ?
Well said. Greta doesn't know what it is to go without, to be cold and hungry, not have clothing and access to being clean. She's had all the advantages and will always have them. She won't be the one paying...her family won't be dying and, sadly, dying very soon.
@@jwsuicides8095 Exactly, I was explaining this to my youngest son ( 19yrs old ) that we see the constant demonising of fossil fuels without any balance that indicates the massive improvements to lives, and life expectancy since the fossil fueled Industrial revolution.
He looked at me in amazement when I told him that 300 yrs ago the average person here in England had a brutally hard life trying to just feed,clothe himself, keep warm, that ended with a average lifespan of around 38 yrs of age.
I also told him of when I was in Africa 10 yrs ago and people were sitting barefoot in a small quarry making bricks by hand !!
Have we the moral right to prevent these people from having what we have ?
Blame volcanoes for climate change, blame the sun being hot for climate change, blame the planets old age for climate change...the climate has been forever changing & everything's fine!
Well done Greta. You are doing an amazing job getting the message out there. You give people hope. Keep it up.
Fool.
Brainwashed much?

What part of "activism" reduces carbon emissions? Assuming that's what you're trying to encourage while taking flights all around the world.
Thank you, Greta, for your courage and all your efforts.
EV Cars are killing the world.
Everyone takes the mickey out of her - total respect to her tho from me for her actually trying to do something about it 👍
...well she couldn't get stupider.
Wake up already how old are you 12
Some of these questions are seriously so stupid and aren’t at all questions that Greta can answer. And yet her wisdom is the only reason I keep listening to this.
abolutely, the journalist has done a terrible job here. Greta has done well to avoid the rubbish questions she has put to her.
I don't think the journlaist asked stupid questions,she would have been accused of being too soft or not cticial enough of she had not asked those questions.You obviously do not understand jorunalism or what Greta has already had to go through and answer critics with.This is nothing for her and as for the second language...well only in England is that a big deal
wisdom? she is a puppet and her handler is Georg Soros.
Just only Greta Thunberg net worth is $2 million in 2022.
Greta Thunberg calls herself as a Swedish environmental activist but realistically she is a charlatan or international environmental scammer. Greta Thunberg is milking only the US and European countries but all the rest of the world stayed polluted, dirty and nasty, and Greta Thunberg do not even mention about it as she knows she cannot practicing quackery there, and she will not obtain any money from Russia, or China, or African and Latin America countries, and other advantages through pretense or deception.
Greta Thunberg is getting rich, Brazilian Rain Forest is cut down, and all realistic environmental groups in the US and Europe are destroyed due to no funds that Greta Thunberg milked all their money. Keep making Greta Thunberg richer!
@@algoodmonin2172 interesting perspective. There are a couple of documentaries about her. Perhaps watch one and then see what you think. Either that or search for Russell Howard (a UK comedian) and Greta on UA-cam - even if you still think she is an evil mastermind after- it is quite funny watching the school kids asking her questions.
Scripted
Greta grown up so much and she dedicated her life to be a climate activist to protect 🌎. She orchestrated well all the statements.
19 years old...such dedication. LOL.
😂😂
Why not error on the side of caution? If 'scientific facts' are so susceptible to mistakes, why not exercise great caution and establish permanent safeguards for our planet's protection?
wow, Logic!
If the climate change deniers are wrong and we do nothing we DIE.
If the climate change prophets are wrong and we do something we LIVE.
Like they say...we should let teenagers rule... after all they know everything. Greta is so brilliant that she skipped a lot of school... clearly it shows 🙄
except she's not a teenager anymore. Learn to count before you make a fool of yourself like this.
I find it unusual seeing a 19 year old lass talking about this subject but it feels that she lacks experience & what she talks about could be too complex for her to fully understand.
I think nobody thought hope would come in the shape of a school girl. Greta gives us hope and her example of investing what’s most valuable (her own future) through the ”Skolstrejk för klimatet” (School strike for the climate), could not be more clear for the rest of us.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
@Toman O Rial" nobody thought hope would come in the shape of a schoolgirl"
Lol, listen to yourself. Get back in your bunker, it's cold outside.
