Thank you so much for all the well-wishes on my 18th birthday!
Tonight you will find me down at the local pub exposing all the dark secrets behind the climate- and school strike conspiracy and my evil handlers who can no longer control me!
I am free at last!!

"Tyvärr – och det är allvarligt – har klimatjournalistiken alltför länge omgärdats av förbehåll, uppsatta av journalisterna själva, som gjort att frågan inte skildrats på ett rättvist sätt. Medierna har väjt undan av rädsla för vara för nattsvarta".

When your house is on fire you don’t wait another 10, 20 or 30 years before calling the fire department.
When your house is on fire you don’t wait another 10, 20 or 30 years before you stop actively pouring petroleum on the flames. You act now.
In every way you possibly can.

Study in Nature says "the carbon pollution already put in the air will push global temperatures to about 2.3°C".
But of course this doesn't mean it's "game over".
It means we're in a crisis and we'd better start to act like it.

The UK government has decided not to intervene with the plans of opening a brand new English coal mine.
This really shows the true meaning of so called “net zero 2050”.
These vague, insufficient targets long into the future basically mean nothing today. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

2020 was the warmest year ever recorded tied with 2016 according to @CopernicusECMWF
"It is notable that 2020 matches the 2016 record despite a cooling La Niña, whereas 2016 was a record year that began with a strong warming El Niño event."

Logic tells us, the fact this is ignored - or in the best case treated as a minor news story - means:
-There's no crisis
-This is fine
-The science is inaccurate
-Scientist are hugely exaggerating
-Climate activists are crazy alarmists
No wonder there's no change in sight... twitter.com/GretaThunberg/…

UK government has announced "a bee-killing pesticide so poisonous that it is banned by the EU" may be used in England.
New coal mines and pesticides... the UK's so called "green industrial revolution" is off to a great start.
Very credible indeed.

Over 3400 have been arrested and more than 1000 taken to court for protesting non violent civil disobedience in order to draw attention to the fact that we are - in just about every possible way - still failing to face the climate- and ecological crisis.

In 2010 our leaders signed "ambitious goals to protect wildlife and ecosystems”. By 2021 they'd failed on every single one. Each day they choose not to act. Instead they sign more “ambitious" non-binding future goals while passing policy locking in destructive business as usual. twitter.com/GretaThunberg/…

SVTs nya grepp verkar vara att helt enkelt hitta på saker jag sagt och gjort. Jag har självklart inte gett Dalai Lama ”en hemläxa”. Men det blir ju självklart fler klick när man skriver så istället för att jag tipsade tittarna om vad man bäst kan göra för att skapa förändring...

“The scale of the threats to the biosphere and all its lifeforms – including humanity – is in fact so great that it is difficult to grasp for even well-informed experts”

It's a huge problem that nations are failing to meet their climate- and ecological targets.
The main problem however, is the fact that their targets are completely insufficient in the first place.
We can't solve a crisis without treating it like a crisis.

2020 was the hottest year ever recorded - NASA.
The last 6 years have all been the hottest on record.
We’re in a climate emergency and the changes needed are still nowhere in sight. The only ones who can change that are us.
Spread awareness. Be the change.

I highly recommend you to watch these 5 very educational short films on feedback loops by @climateloops
To avoid the worst consequences of the climate crisis it's crucial to spread awareness and understand how these very complex and fragile systems work.
