Her point is worth 100′s of awards…
Still, not the reason why she says what she does.
What has changed since then… 1992…
What has ever changed.
Let’s, but will it?
Yeah, that’s her whole point :|
she is >>>>>>> GoooooooooooooD
She inspires me, she is so moving.
*****
LOL.
exploiting a child?
I will say those things if I were given an opportunity like that. You can see she is doing that on her own will. People like you make me sick. Everything is negative in your eyes.
17 yrs ago she spoke this speech at the UN. 17 yrs later nothing much have change. doom is upon us human.
I completely agree with everything she said and if I had the opportunity to do the same I would…. Adults dont listen. Ever. Everyone is to concerned about Capital Gain.
Nothing has changed…. and it’s becoming harder and harder to fight to save the world, when over half the world is bent on destroying it.
I apologize for my ceptcism but i don’t really think that she made that speech… but the point is not that…what matters the most is the message… even if it had been an adult it would mean a great deal and that is what people should always focus on … THE MESSAGE not the messenger
why didnt they listen!?
its still like that today..(thogh a bit better)
While her message was great and she presented it incredibly well for such a young person, it should be noted that she is the daughter of a famous Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki. Odds are that he had a big part to play in the writing of the speech.
I don’t care is she is the daughter of a tree frog and a dolphin or if her father played a part in her speech I would suspect he did as he raised her so by default is it safe to say he had a 50% part? and mom the other 50%? I will however bet that in your entire life you will not have come close to to the bravery of this child. Work on you and whoever makes you better doen’t take away from your accomplishments in life.
YOU ARE WEAK
It makes me cry that nothing has still happened…
you do know children have brains right? They are capable of writing and thinking
im a retard, just got the sarcasm, i need to jump off bridge
this girl should save her breathe. these motherfuckers really dont care. they really dont
This kid can talk.
She is convinced that all environmental change is attributed to human action, and that adults are heartless, wasteful idiots. She doesn’t know of the massive amount of financial and philanthropic efforts contributed every day of every year? Some suffer because of their own actions, not inacton of those in power. Often the enviro-activism is used by the enviro-fascists agenda to demonize humans, make a power grab to dissolve our liberties.
What liberties? Watching football and drinking beer?
Remember the words of Pastor Martin Niemöller
First they destroy the environment, and I did not speak out—because I was not a environmentalist;
Then they destroy the economy, and I did not speak out—because I was not a economist;
Then they destroy my liberties—and there was no one left to speak out.
And then this one by Tacitus:
The worst crimes were dared by a few, willed by more and tolerated by all
Some suffer because of their own actions, most suffer because actions of others, all suffer because indifference of most
wow she’s only 13, well she has got a good point adults need to make the world better otherwise how shall we survive if we do not have the resources needed? Man the people on this post(most people) must really don’t care that she is trying to make a change
almost 18000 people viewed this message, I wonder how many people actually think about what this girl is saying, especially since there are only 44!!! people that responded, of which some people even make bad remarks.
It’s unfortunate the average joe with common sense wants to put in more effort to change this world, than the people that actually have the power to change it.
Governments give these issue the same amount of priority as how many parking tickets should be given per year. sad.
not all children… some girls have to walk miles to just get a gallon of water for their families… some are capable of writing and thinking… but most children in europe, africa, AND EVEN AMERICA!
