The Return of Greta: 'Our House Is Still on Fire'

Thunberg responded with, “I would like to say something that I think people need to know more than how I deal with haters.” She then cited chapter and verse from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s latest report. She mentioned that if we are to have even a 67% chance of limiting global temperature change to under 1.5 degrees Celsius, the point where catastrophic changes begin, we have less than 420 gigatons of CO2 that we can emit before we pass the no-going-back line.

“These numbers aren’t anyone’s opinions or political views,” said Thunberg, speaking in an exasperated tone as if lecturing a classroom of slow first-graders. “This is the current best-available science.” She then addressed the media. “I know you don’t want to report about this. I know you don’t want to talk about this, but I assure you I will continue to repeat these numbers until you do.”

Later on Tuesday, Thunberg gave a brief address. Echoing last year’s speech, she proclaimed, “Our house is still on fire.” “Your inaction is fueling the flames by the hour.”She chided the jewelry-rattling audience. “You say children shouldn’t worry. You say, ‘Just leave this to us. We will fix this, we promise we won’t let you down.’ ” She paused. “And then, nothing. Silence. Or something worse than silence.

“Let’s be clear,” Thunberg said. “We don’t need a ‘low-carbon economy.’ We don’t need to ‘lower emissions.’ Our emissions have to stop. And, until we have the technologies that at scale can put our emissions to minus, then we must forget about net zero. We need real zero.” Later that night, the belching black Mercedes would once again fill the Davos streets, taking the designer-clad clientele to wine tastings and oligarch-hosting parties.

Is Greta Star Wars now? Don't you have to be gone before you can return? 'We only shoved her down their throats for months, I think it's been a couple weeks since we talked about her, I'm thinking it's time for a big comeback'

hoxha Why do we need another real zero? The world's got you already!!!

If we are to be taken seriously, We need someone else to put our case across than this mis managed puppet
