Out Of The Mouth Of Babes

The 'Divine' have created our earth with all its beauty and perfection, and men is bent on destroying it for the sake of profit, and thus have become the enemy of nature.  Many hypocritical leaders of the world meet periodically to tell their lies, and make their disingenuous and inadequate promises to reverse climate change, however, nothing of consequence is ever done.

In one of the bible stories, I remember, the apostles asked Jesus, when will we know the end of time is near?  He replied, only the Father knows but there will be an increase in natural disasters, and there will be many wars.  If this describes our present days, it may not be by accident.

In Psalm 8.3 (in my Bible) it says:  "Out of the mouth of babes and infants you have drawn a defense against your foes, to silence enemy and avenger."

Once in a while, a young person with a strong belief and conviction comes onto the world stage, and tells the words that nobody is brave enough to utter.  Such is also the story of Greta Thunberg, who gave the following address to a bunch of 'Climate Hypocrites’; at their recent dog and pony show climate meeting.  Bravo Greta!

One can say many things about Trump, wrong as he may be on climate change, but he is not a hypocrite on this issue, hiding behind ineffectual promises, as do the so called good politicians.  President Trump promises nothing, and the fake pledges by the others amount to the same thing, nothing.

Who is Greta Thunberg?
"Greta Thunberg was born on 3 January 2003 in Stockholm,[7][8] the daughter of opera singer Malena Ernman and actor Svante Thunberg.[9] Her paternal grandfather is actor and director Olof Thunberg.[10]
Thunberg says she first heard about climate change in 2011, when she was 8 years old, and could not understand why so little was being done about it.[11] Three years later she became depressed and lethargic, stopped talking and eating, and was eventually diagnosed with Asperger syndrome,[12] obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD),[12] and selective mutism.[12][13] While acknowledging that her diagnosis "has limited me before", she does not view her Asperger's as an illness and has instead called it her "superpower".[13]
For about two years, Thunberg challenged her parents to lower the family's carbon footprint by becoming vegan and giving up flying, which in part meant her mother had to give up her international career as an opera singer.[9][14] Thunberg credits her parents' eventual response and lifestyle changes with giving her hope and belief that she could make a difference.[9] The family story is recounted in the 2018 book Scenes from the Heart.[15]
In late 2018, Thunberg began the school climate strikes and public speeches by which she has become an internationally recognized climate activist. Her father does not like her missing school, but said: "[We] respect that she wants to make a stand. She can either sit at home and be really unhappy, or protest, and be happy".[14] Thunberg says her teachers are divided in their views about her missing class to make her point. She says: "As people they think what I am doing is good, but as teachers they say I should stop."[14]
Thunberg published a collection of her climate action speeches, No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference, in May 2019[16] with the earnings being donated to charity.[17] In one of her first speeches demanding climate action, Thunberg described the selective mutism aspect of her condition as meaning she "only speaks when necessary".[11] In 2019, Thunberg also contributed a voiceover for a release of "The 1975", the theme song of an English band by the same name. Thunberg finishes by urging: "So, everyone out there, it is now time for civil disobedience. It is time to rebel." Proceeds will go to Extinction Rebellion at Thunberg's request.[18]"

  1. Thnks Frank,
    I don't think they expected that Greta would turn into the Grand Inquisitor and find them all guilty at the UN, after they gave her such a nice, condescending build-up and introduction.
    :-) Righteous!
