I watched this tonight, really looking for an “inappropriate speech”. The message this child brought to the UN brought tears to my eyes. I wish we had more people like her that would stand up for the rights of children, animals and the environment. I have read posts stating that the US helps those countries in need. I do agree with that, but reckon of the billions, or rather trillions that is spent monthly on wars that will never be won…..
Uhh…really, we did reckon about those things years ago. When did Earth Day start? Let’s remember that extinctions happened long before people even appeared on the planet. That’s not to say we shouldn’t take care of the planet…we should do everything we can. But let’s not make this out to be something new. And we’re not keen to share? Seems to me that every time some catastrophe happens, North Americans are the first ones rushing all kinds of aid to where on earth it’s needed.
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!
nearly 18000 people viewed this message, I wonder how many people really reckon about what this girl is saying, especially since there are only 44!!! people that responded, of which some people even make terrible remarks.
It’s unfortunate the average joe with common sense wants to place in more try to change this world, than the people that really have the power to change it.
Governments give these issue the same quantity of priority as how many parking tickets should be given per year. sad.
wow she’s only 13, well she has got a excellent 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
What liberties? Watching football and drinking beer?
Remember the words of Pastor Martin Niemöller
First they ruin the environment, and I did not speak out—because I was not a environmentalist;
Then they ruin the economy, and I did not speak out—because I was not a economist;
Then they ruin 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
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 quantity 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.
I don’t care is she is the daughter of a tree frog and a dolphin or if her member of the clergy 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 but bet that in your entire life you will not have come close to to the daring of this child. Work on you and whoever makes you better doen’t take away from your accomplishments in life.
YOU ARE WEAK
While her message was fantastic and she presented it incredibly well for such a young person, it should be noted that she is the daughter of a well-known Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki. Odds are that he had a huge part to play in the writing of the speech.
I apologize for my ceptcism but i don’t really reckon 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 fantastic deal and that is what people should always focus on … THE MESSAGE not the messenger
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 altered…. and it’s becoming harder and harder to struggle to save the world, when over half the world is bent on destroying it.
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.

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!

Some suffer because of their own actions, most suffer because actions of others, all suffer because indifference of most

This kid can talk.
this girl should save her breathe. these motherfuckers really dont care. they really dont
im a retard, just got the sarcasm, i need to jump off bridge
you do know children have brains right? They are capable of writing and thinking
It makes me weep that nothing has still happened…
