30 Years of Blah Blah Blah
"Climate change is not only a threat, it is above all an opportunity to create a healthier, Greener and cleaner Planet, which will benefit all of us. We must seize this opportunity. We can achieve a win-win in both ecological conservation and high quality development. Fighting climate change, calls for Innovation, cooperation, and willpower to make the changes that the world needs. We need to walk the talk. If we do this together, we can do this.
When I say climate change, what do you think of? I think jobs. Green jobs. Green jobs. We must find a smooth transition towards a low-carbon economy. There is no Planet B. There is no Planet, blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah. This is not about some expensive politically. Correct, green at the bunny hugging or blah, blah blah. Build back better bla bla black green economy, blah blah blah. Net Zero by 25, 2015, blah, blah blah. Net Zero by 2050, blah blah blah, net zero blah, blah blah climate-neutral blah blah blah. This is all we hear from our so-called leaders. Words words that sound great, but so far has led to no action.
Our hopes and dreams drown in their empty words and Promises. Of course, we need constructive dialogue, but they've now had 30 years of blah, blah, blah. And where has that letters? Over fifty percent of all our CO2, emissions have occurred since 1990 and a third since 2005. All these while, the media is reporting on what the leaders say that they are going to do instead of what they are actually doing. And then not holding leaders accountable for their action or rather in action. And don't get me wrong. We can still do this.
Change is not only possible, but urgently necessary, but not if we go on like today. They say, they want Solutions. But you cannot solve the crisis that you don't do not fully understand. You cannot balance a budget. If you do not count all the numbers and as long as we ignore equity and historic emissions, at as long as we don't include consumption of imported goods, burning of biomass, at cetera, Etc. And as long as clever accounting is one of the most efficient ways of reducing emissions, we won't get anywhere. And the climate crisis is, of course, only a symptom of a much larger crisis, its sustainability crisis, as social crisis, a crisis of inequality that dates back to colonialism and Beyond.
A crisis based on the idea that some people are worth more than others and therefore have the right to exploit and steal other people's lands and resources. It is very naive to believe that we can solve this crisis without confronting the roots of it. Right now, we are still in very much speeding in the wrong direction. 20:21 is currently projected to experience the second-highest emission rise ever. Only about 2% of government. Recovery spendings have been allocated to clean energy measures. And according to a new report by the UN Global emissions are expected to rise by 16 percent by 2030 compared to 2010 levels. Only the intentional lack of action is a betrayal towards all present and future Generations.
The people in power cannot claim that they are trying because they are clearly not. As they continue opening up a brand new coal, mines oil fields and pipelines pretending to have ambitious climate policies. While granting new oil line census Explorer, an enormous future oil fields And shamelessly congratulating themselves while still failing to come up with even the bare minimum and long-overdue funding to help the most vulnerable countries deal with the impacts of the climate crisis. If this is what they consider to be climate action than we, don't want it.
They invite cherry-picked young people to meetings like this to pretend that they are listening to us, but they are not, they are clearly not listening to us and they never have just look at the numbers. Just look at the statistics. The emissions are still Rising. The science doesn't lie. But of course, we can still turn this around, it is entirely possible. It will take drastic annual emission Cuts unlike anything the world has ever seen. And as we don't have the technological solution that alone can deliver anything close to that. That means we will have to change. We can no longer let the people in power decide what is politically possible or not? We can no longer. Let the people in power decide.
What hope is Hope it's not passive. Hope is not the blah, blah blah. Hope is telling the truth. Hope is taking action and hope always comes from the people. And we, we the people we want a safe future. We want real climate action and we want climate Justice. Did you hear me? What do we want? When do we want it? The latest, like, to say we can do this. They obviously don't mean it, but we do. We can do this. I'm absolutely convinced that we can, but it starts with a people, it started with facing the reality of the situation as uncomfortable as it may be. It started with taking action and it starts. Now, again, what do we want? When do we want it? Thank you." (Greta Thunberg)
