You can shove your climate crisis up your ass. (Greta Thunberg)
If you want to truly cover the climate crisis, you must also report on the fundamental issues of time, holistic thinking and justice. View quote
Greta Thunberg
Canada declares national #ClimateEmergency. It's great that more countries and regions are doing this. But remember:The fossil fuels must stay in the ground. Forget "climate neutral” and clever accounting. Our emissions must start their way to zero. Now. View quote
Greta Thunberg
We need to focus every inch of our being on climate change, because if we fail to do so than all our achievements and progress have been for nothing and all that will remain of our political leaders' legacy will be the greatest failure of human history. And they will be remembered as the greatest villains of all time, because they have chosen not to listen and not to act. View quote
Greta Thunberg
Some people say that the climate crisis is something that we all have created. But that is just another convenient lie. Because if everyone is guilty then no one is to blame. And someone is to blame. Some people – some companies and some decision-makers in particular – have known exactly what priceless values they are sacrificing to continue making unimaginable amounts of money. View quote
Greta Thunberg
There are no emergency meetings, no headlines, no breaking news. No one is acting as if we were in a crisis. Even most climate scientists or green politicians keep on flying around the world, eating meat and dairy. ... Today we use 100 million barrels of oil every single day. There are no politics to change that. There are no rules to keep that oil in the ground. So we can't save the world by playing by the rules. Because the rules have to be changed. Everything needs to change. And it has to start today. View quote
Greta Thunberg
I don't use any animal products, both because of ethical and environmental and climate reasons. View quote
Greta Thunberg
I don't think I would be interested in the climate at all if I had been like everyone else. View quote
Greta Thunberg
When I have been travelling around to speak in different countries, I am always offered help to write about the specific climate policies in specific countries. But that is not really necessary. Because the basic problem is the same everywhere. View quote
Greta Thunberg
It felt like I was the only one who cared about the climate and the ecological crisis. My parents didn't care about it, my classmates didn't care about it, my relatives didn't care about this. I mean nobody I knew cared about this and I felt like I was the only one. View quote
Greta Thunberg
At places like Davos, people like to tell success stories. But their financial success has come with an unthinkable price tag. And on climate change, we have to acknowledge we have failed. (Greta Thunberg)
I think in many ways that we autistic are the normal ones and the rest of the people are pretty strange. They keep saying that climate change is an existential threat and the most important issue of all. And yet they just carry on like before. View quote
Greta Thunberg
I think that once you fully understand the climate and ecological emergencies, then you know what you can do as well. And, of course, there's a lot of things you can do in your everyday life, but we cannot be focusing on these individual things you can do. We have to see the full picture. View quote
Greta Thunberg
Some people say that I should study to become a climate scientist so that I can 'solve the climate crisis.' But the climate crisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions. All we have to do is to wake up and change. View quote
Greta Thunberg
I want the politicians to prioritise the climate question, focus on the climate and treat it like a crisis. View quote
Greta Thunberg
Many people seem to have this double moral. They say one thing and then do another thing. They say that the climate crisis is very important and yet they do nothing about it. View quote
Greta Thunberg
I'm not saying that people should stop flying. I'm just saying it needs to be easier to be climate neutral. View quote
Greta Thunberg
The climate crisis is both the easiest and the hardest issue we have ever faced. The easiest because we know what we must do. We must stop the emissions of greenhouse gases. The hardest because our current economics are still totally dependent on burning fossil fuels, and thereby destroying ecosystems in order to create everlasting economic growth. View quote
Greta Thunberg
We are living in the beginning of a mass extinction and our climate is breaking down. View quote
Greta Thunberg
My message is that if we do not care about the climate crisis and if we do not act now then almost no other question is going to matter in the future. View quote
Greta Thunberg
Solving the climate crisis is the greatest and most complex challenge that homo sapiens have ever faced. The main solution, however, is so simple that even a small child can understand it. We have to stop our emissions of greenhouse gases. (Greta Thunberg)
We are at a time in history where everyone with any insight of the climate crisis that threatens our civilisation - and the entire biosphere - must speak out in clear language, no matter how uncomfortable and unprofitable that may be. View quote
Greta Thunberg
At first when I heard about climate change, I was a climate denier. I didn't think it was happening. Because if there really was an existential crisis like that, that would threaten our civilisation, we wouldn't be focusing on anything else. That would be our first priority. So I didn't understand how that added up. View quote
Greta Thunberg
It is hard sometimes to always be at the centre of attention, but when you talk about me you also have to talk about the climate. View quote
Greta Thunberg
The symbolism of the climate strike is that if you adults don't give a damn about my future, I won't either. View quote
