Climate change is here now.
Floods. Droughts.
Once in a century, storms.
And the frustrating part for me as a climatologist is
that this could all have been avoided.
Scientific consensus is clear.
There is a way to reverse course.
And that is for Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg
to try a little harder.
People get caught up in altering their personal habits
by driving less or eating less meat.
But the reality is this is all in Greta's hands.
She could give our children and inhabitable
earth instead of a scorched hellscape if she just cared
30 to 40% more about the fate of our planet.
But she doesn't.
I guess because she's lazy.
Sure.
She rode that yacht across the Atlantic to raise awareness about the environment,
but that only took, like, two weeks.
I mean, come on, Greta.
Our research shows you could be sailing that yacht.
24 seven 365 days a year.
What the fuck
do you hate the earth?
Indeed.
If you look at a chart of CO2 emissions in the years since Greta's birth, in 2003,
the problem of fossil fuels has only risen.
Frankly, it's possible she wants us all to die.
Still, we should all hope that one day Greta starts actually making an effort.
Like a real effort now.
Whatever the hell she's doing now, or else the blood of millions
lost to a climate apocalypse could be entirely on her hands.
