Primate Change For Climate Change – How Everyone Can Contribute, Not Only Greta Thunberg!

#YouGoGreta

Go for Climate Justice. We have to make the big ones pay big for their common crime against the Earth!

About climate change, if Greta Thunberg is right, and I believe she is, all those American activists' agenda – double-dealing public servants, transgenderism, abortion, border wall, gun ownership, illegal immigrants – are worth exactly nothing to be fighting for. Earthlings, we are going to lose this Earth!

"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words," Greta told world leaders at the UN climate summit. Oliver Milman says, "Greta Thunberg Condemns World Leaders In Emotional Speech At UN," The Guardian (23 September 2019, theguardian.com). No Sir, the speech was emotional but the appeal was rational. Her speech was "very emotional (but) grounded in science", said Alden Meyer, Director of Strategy at the Union of Concerned Scientists. Right!

Hilda Heine, President of the Marshall Islands, said:

Other countries must follow our lead. Falling short will represent the greatest failure humanity has ever seen. The summit must be the moment we choose survival over selfishness.

At the UN climate summit, the US was not there, neither Canada nor Australia.

On Monday Greta joined 14 other children to lodge a formal complaint under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The complainants, from countries including Argentina, the Marshall Islands, France, Germany and US, assert that countries' failure to address the climate crisis violates the international convention. "Each one of us had our rights violated and denied, our futures are being destroyed," said Alexandria Villaseñor, a 14-year-old from New York.

Thunberg said that world leaders were endangering children by ignoring climate breakdown. "They promised to protect the rights of the child and they have not done this," she said at a media conference at the offices of Unicef.

This 79 years old leaves Greta and the young ones to fight the old ones in the courts of the United Nations.

In the meantime, I'm taking a different tack – for senior citizens of the world.

12 years ago, I wrote, "Primate Change? Or Climate Change? You Choose! – The Blogal Village Voice" (03 March 2007, iCRiSAT Watch, icrisatwatch.blogspot.com). This is what I said:

The only way to combat climate change is Primate Change – man has to change his attitude, from one of indifference to concern, and from concern to concerted action, about greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere that deflate the ozone layer and cause global warming. If that primate change has to begin with you, just do it!

Today, my strategy is simple:

Green Earth Today!
GET it?

We just need to Green Earth Today – every bare patch of soil must be green. Instantly, we will see the Earth breathe!

Easy. If 10 million people in each country each planted 10 seeds and watered them, in 2 weeks we should have at least 50 million seedlings happily waving 20 green leaves to the sun – and cooling the Earth!

No need to quarrel with Donald Trump. Plant your green today! You are saving the Earth today!@517
