PLEASE WATCH and SHARE: Greta Thunberg, Austrian World Summit Speech in Vienna


Please watch this. Please share this. Please inform yourself diving deeply into the research and the voices of the science community, Indigenous peoples and Elders, and those such as Bill McKibben, Naomi Klein, Dahr Jamail, and others and share what you are learning. There is an imperative that we adults end our deadly denial, ignorance, inaction, silence, and collusion in that which is imperiling our children and all of life on Earth. The words and actions of Greta Thunberg and the millions of children who are rising up worldwide demanding that we act NOW on the climate crisis are a terrible and chilling indictment on the extraordinary nature of how we have utterly failed to protect the lives and the very futures of our children and all of Earth's inhabitants. We have literally squandered decades. And now the climate crisis is here. We've hit 415ppm of CO2 in our atmosphere. We are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction and millions of species are at risk of extinction — including ours. What we are experiencing today in America and across the planet 500 tornadoes in 30 days, massive floods and droughts and wildfires and hurricanes, unbearable heat and crippling frigid winter storms, millions of climate refugees worldwide, catastrophic losses and suffering and death, and more are all only the tipping edge of much worse to come. This is a CRISIS! Let us all choose to be part of the solution NOW. The eyes of the children are watching. Molly

"This is above all an emergency, and not just any emergency. This is the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced. This is not something you can like on facebook." Greta Thunberg
