Greta Thunberg Interview: World is on a Climate Precipice but Activism Offers Hope

Greta Thunberg is quite simply one of the world’s most influential leaders when it comes to educating and taking action about the climate crisis and other environmental issues.

Make no mistake, despite the pathetic attacks of many so-called adults who should know better, Greta as a schoolgirl made more positive change to the world than pretty much anyone else on the planet, by successfully highlighting the desperate scale of the climate emergency.

Now, maturing into adulthood and seemingly as strong and passionate as ever, more and more people around the world have woken up and joined #TeamThunberg.

In this extended interview, as she launches The Climate Book, Greta Thunberg speaks about how she feels hopeful about the fight against climate change, even as the world approaches a “precipice”.

‘The Last and Most Important Advice I Will Ever Give’

This powerful video features 89 year-old Social Scientist Dr Mayer Hillman, who says “this is the last and most important advice I will ever give.”

Recording for Extinction Rebellion, Dr Hillman explains the cause of climate change and warns that elected government officials have no plans to do what is needed to stop climate change and protect the interest of young people and the future of the planet.

Dr. Hillman advises young people to “join the rebellion calling for immediate action – vote out all politicians who are not committed to stopping the factors causing climate change and vote in politicians who will determinedly stop fossil fuel use and commit themselves to suspending the destruction of forests.”

What YOU Can Do About Climate Change

Our Changing Climate is an excellent YouTube channel, deep diving into environmental issues. This video looks at what you can do about climate change using individual, personal, and collective actions.

It starts by looking at the way in which we’ve globally become fixated on individual solutions to climate change. As a result, carbon footprint related actions like flying less and recycling are prioritised over voting, protesting, and system change.

This video is about doing both personal things to lower your carbon footprint like driving less, but simultaneously acting collectively to create a system in which having a small carbon footprint is feasible for everyone.
