“Our house is on fire.
I am here to say,
our house is on fire.”
“We are facing a disaster
of unspoken sufferings
for enormous amounts
of people.
And now is not the time
for speaking politely
or focusing on
what we can
or cannot say.
Now is the time
to speak clearly.
Adults keep saying:
“We owe it to
the young people
to give them hope.”
But I don’t want your hope.
I don’t want you
to be hopeful.
I want you to panic.
I want you to
feel the fear
I feel every day.
And then I want you to act.
I want you to act
as you would in a crisis.
I want you to act as
if our house is on fire.
Because it is."
So said
Ms. Greta
"thundering"
Thunberg,
at Davos,
Switzerland,
a few months ago.
Adults at Davos
nodded approvingly
as Greta Thunberg
reprimanded them
for giving her generation
false hope, saying that
she wanted everyone
to panic, and take action.
Little Greta believes that action,
based upon fear, generated by
computer games, would save
the planet.
She is clueless !
Leftists used to require an adult
scientist, with a PhD, to make
scary climate predictions.
Now a teenager,
who dropped out
of high school,
is good enough !
