After reading and understanding the learning contents of MODULE

SEVEN, you are now ready to answer the following tasks. Keep in mind
that most of the tasks would simply require you to share your own
thoughts and ideas – meaning – everything is subjective. There will be
no wrong answers. So please do not copy and paste. I have my way of
finding out if you do. But in instances where you want to include quotes
or passages from online resources, please mention your reference/s.
Generally, the tasks are quite simple. Only LAZY students will find
them difficult. Do not procrastinate even if you have the entire semester
to accomplish these tasks. Once completed, send this MODULE SIX
WORKSHEET to my email drmirabueno@bicol-u.edu.ph and write on
the subject line: M7 WORKSHEET, then indicate your COURSE,
YEAR & BLOCK – example: M7 WORKSHEET ARKI2A or M7
WORKSHEET BSSW2A.
Enjoy working on these tasks. =)
PS: If you have questions and would need clarifications, do not hesitate
to contact me. Thank you.

"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!

7 look away and come here saying that you're doing enough, when the
politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight.
"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°C 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 January 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 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:
Greta Thunberg is a climate activist from Stockholm, Sweden. Over the last months, she has inspired millions of
people, predominantly school children, to act to prevent the climate crisis. Greta's climate activism started after a
scorching summer sparked wildfires across Sweden last year. That's when she learnt about the looming threat of
global warming and climate change. The adults weren't doing enough, and so she must, Greta realized. For one
month, from August to September 2018, when Sweden's parliamentary elections took place, Greta bunked school
and parked herself on the cobblestone steps outside the Swedish Parliament. She would hand out pamphlets to
passers-by, urging them to act. She drew support from some parliamentarians, who joined her in protest. After
the elections, Greta went back to school, but attends classes only four days a week. She spends her Fridays
protesting outside the Parliament. This led to the Fridays for Future movement and, more recently, the Global
Climate Strikes. For her work, Greta has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
