fret say's: You have to laugh at nonsense like this. Forget for a moment that there is no crisis and remember, climate is a clear trend over a minimum of 30 years, not 16. The brainwashing has been a stunning success....

Racism is the root cause of our climate crisis - Jamie Margolin, 16 year old co-founder of the youth-led climate crisis fighting organisation Zero Hour
The climate crisis is not a new monster. It is not an issue that popped out of nowhere, it is not a new evil. In fact, it is actually the grand culmination of institutional, societal evils that have been building for centuries. In order for us to solve the climate crisis, we have to understand the true roots of the issue. If we don’t understand where the climate crisis really originated then we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes. If we try to solve the climate crisis within the same frameworks and systems that caused it, it won’t work.
So in order to save ourselves, let’s take a step back and learn how we got into this situation of climate breakdown. Many people pin the start of the climate crisis to the industrial revolution. That was when we started digging for coal, mining fossil fuels out of the ground, and burning them. But it actually started long before that, with colonisation. Settlers destroyed natural habitats, hunted species to death and brought in invasive plant species that indigenous people and slaves were forced to grow. With colonialism came the extreme extraction of the earths resources, and the genocide and silencing of the indigenous wisdom of the peoples that have been keeping this earth alive for centuries. With colonialism came the idea that everything on Earth is for our use, and that everything is to be bought and sold. It enforced the idea that nothing was sacred or priceless. And this mindset is the core of how we got to the climate disaster. Everything has a price tag slapped on it. Even air and water.
Before the first coal was mined, even before the first factories were opened, the seeds for the climate crisis had already been planted. And the colonialism that caused the climate crisis is still playing out today. For example, former colonised countries emit the least amount of carbon dioxide, but feel the worst effects of the climate crisis. And even though countries in the Global South like India emit large amount of pollutants, it’s because the United States ships our factory work overseas so poor people of colour can do our dirty work. American corporations save money exploiting workers in India and polluting their air, water and people. While poor communities are suffer, rich communities in developed countries buy those products without having to feel the toxic effects of producing them. It’s the same colonial system of forcing people of colour to produce and pay the price for luxuries for those in rich white countries. Colonialism never went away, it just evolved.
And then, there’s the next system of oppression that is very much intertwined with colonialism -- racism. There is compelling evidence that increasing social inequality is linked to environmental degradation, and that the health of people of colour and those living in poverty is negatively impacted by being exposed to higher levels of environmental pollution than their white counterparts or people not in poverty.The vast majority of fossil fuel projects and energy extraction sites are built in low-income communities, immigrant communities and communities of colour. Why? Because these people are already victims of the racist system of oppression, and governments and corporations exploit their powerlessness.
The extreme weather events that result from climate change have devastating consequences for communities of colour

Pure emotional rubbish. The planet doesn't need people to keep it 'alive'.
For example, former colonised countries emit the least amount of carbon dioxide
Because the UN has blocked their access to cheap reliable energy:
Tackling climate change will require developing countries to move beyond fossil fuels far more quickly than the rich world has managed
...
The poorest countries, she added, must lead the way in that transition with financial assistance [Paris] from the rich world.

Or, world to end tomorrow. White middle class men to be affected least of all.
People of colour, women, poor people, disabled people, those in the global south, homeless people -- everyone who is already oppressed and vulnerable -- are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis.
Utter emotional tosh, after all the only crisis is the one between their ears.
Margolin works hand in hand with Greta Thunberg and her handlers..
Tagged in Rentzhog’s “lonely girl” tweet were five twitter accounts: Greta Thunberg, Zero Hour (youth movement), Jamie Margolin (the teenage founder of Zero Hour), Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, and the People’s Climate Strike twitter account (in the identical font and aesthetics as 350.org). [These groups will be touched upon briefly later in this series.]
