A Look Back    
A Child Shall Lead Us?  
      
      Here's a 16-year-old in Sweden who "knows" more than world leaders. These are a few of Greta Thunberg's remarks at the Climate Action Summit in the UN General Assembly last week: 

"You come to us young people for hope. How dare you! 

You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.

Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of mass extinction.

How dare you! 

"For more than 30 years the science has been crystal clear.

If you really understood and still kept failing to act, then you would be evil. 

There will not be any solutions or plans presented (at the UN).

"You are not mature enough to tell it like it is.

The eyes of future generations are upon you.

And if you choose to fail us, we will never forgive you.

Right here, right now is where we draw the line."

   You grandchildren better hope she doesn't get her hands on nukes! (just kidding.) Young Greta may have a point, but who produced this theater, and the worldwide protest by other youngsters?  

   Carbon Dioxide, CO2 (greenhouse gas), is normally 0.03 percent of the atmosphere. It is produced by burning carbon, organic compounds and human respiration. If you want to fight global warming, hold your breath 15 seconds every minute.

   Plants absorb CO2. The honest activists' plan is to achieve equal amounts of production and absorption (carbon neutral). 

   If it's a choice between occasional hurricanes and daily dictatorship by people who won't be regulated by the same rules they apply to us...... 
.......give me the storms, even if our house is destroyed.*
