Transcript: Greta Thunberg's Speech At The U.N. Climate
Action Summit- Taken from NPR, September 23, 2019.
https://www.npr.org/2019/09/23/763452863/transcript-greta-thunbergs-speech-at-the-u-n-climate-action-summit

Climate activist Greta Thunberg, 16, addressed the U.N.'s Climate Action Summit in New
York City on Monday. Here's the full transcript of Thunberg's speech, beginning with her
response to a question about the message she has for world leaders.

"My message is that we'll be watching you.

"This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of
the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you!

"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I'm one
of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are
collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is
money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!

'This Is All Wrong,' Greta Thunberg Tells World Leaders At U.N. Climate Session
"For more than 30 years, the science has been crystal clear. How dare you continue to
look away and come here saying that you're doing enough, when the politics and
solutions needed are still nowhere in sight.
"You say you hear us and that you understand the urgency. But no matter how sad and
angry I am, I do not want to believe that. Because if you really understood the situation
and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil. And that I refuse to believe.
"The popular idea of cutting our emissions in half in 10 years only gives us a 50% chance
of staying below 1.5 degrees [Celsius], and the risk of setting off irreversible chain
reactions beyond human control.

"Fifty percent may be acceptable to you. But those numbers do not include tipping
points, most feedback loops, additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution or the
aspects of equity and climate justice. They also rely on my generation sucking hundreds
of billions of tons of your CO2 out of the air with technologies that barely exist.

"So a 50% risk is simply not acceptable to us — we who have to live with the
consequences.

"To have a 67% chance of staying below a 1.5 degrees global temperature rise – the best
odds given by the [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] – the world had 420
gigatons of CO2 left to emit back on Jan. 1st, 2018. Today that figure is already down to
less than 350 gigatons.

"How dare you pretend that this can be solved with just 'business as usual' and some
technical solutions? With today's emissions levels, that remaining CO2 budget will be
entirely gone within less than 8 1/2 years.

"There will not be any solutions or plans presented in line with these figures here today,
because these numbers are too uncomfortable. And you are still not mature enough to
tell it like it is.

"You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The
eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, I say: We will
never forgive you.

"We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line.
The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not.

"Thank you."
After doing the reading answer the following questions.

1. According to Greta, who are the people responsible for “Climate

Change” in the world?

What are the human actions that generate climate change?

We do this by burning fossil fuels, agriculture, land use, and other
activities that cause climate change. Greenhouse gases are at their
highest level in 800,000 years

2. How has this change affected us?

Climate change also increases the occurrence of more violent
weather events, droughts, fires, the death of animal and plant
species, the overflowing of rivers and lakes, the appearance of
climate refugees and the destruction of livelihoods and economic
resources. , ...

3. How is the change affecting us?

Among the impacts of climate change, the melting of the ice mass at
the poles stands out, which in turn causes sea level rise, causing
flooding and threatening coastal shorelines - even small island states
are at risk of disappearance -.

4. How will the change affect us?

climate change is already a real fact, beyond any scientific
uncertainty. ... As a consequence, we already face loss of biodiversity,
melting glaciers, extreme weather events, ocean acidification,
changes in habitats, etc.
