Greta Thunberg  movement

Yes or No?

Should we take a viewer position?

The strikes, protests and worldwide propagation of “Global heating” idea made millions of people stand, to fight for.  In this essay I am going to discourse things which supports and stands against this idea.

Global idea of increasing temperature on Earth has become the most popular thing in social media and TV due to the 16 years old girl from Sweden Greta Thunberg. Her “stream” stands for environmental and thoughts of strikes and protests trying to influence authorities in countries. She has a great power for people around the world and she has done a lot for this short period of time of her presence in the world political arena. But I think the best thing which she has done – popularization and further dissemination of Global warming idea. So the globalization of dangerous consequences provided humanity to think about what they have done. Politicians around the world increasingly referring their speeches to the topics of global warming, ice melting, atmosphere and our oceans. Expansion of electric engines, solar batteries, water energy, of course helping us to stop the growing of level of temperature. Huge amount of people refused to drive cars and took the public transport as their way to travel. Outer world finally thought about its actions and goes on conscious live. All of this positive changes gradually introduced to people minds with Greta Thunberg slogans.

As many people around the world who support Sweden young environmentalist, as many stand against her. The main reasons of: she wants to change whole political situation around the world, the authorities who wants to agitate the situation around the world and undermine the fundamentalism of our system of living and the government power in “some” countries also I can mention her rash statements that are impossible in the current situation in the world. And also I can hear aggressive speech in Climate Summit in 2019. The speech was accusatory and pretty sharp, but the main thing in it is that most of the people reacted on it not as Greta Thunberg waited to they will respond. She is destroying her reputation by without taking in account the modern layout of economic situation on Earth. She keeps telling to politicians to do not: “ tell tales  of eternal economic growth'' and this statement is destroying her reputation, because only the economic growth can pull third world countries out of poverty and fix their energy production technologies to ”green” one. And economics in nowadays depends mostly on gas and oil reserves and I do not think it will change soon. She think that it can be done by a snap of the fingers and the results be shown after tomorrow, without any harm or influence in political situation nowadays or her grows.

Swedish eco-activist Thunberg gave an emotional speech at the UN summit in New York on 23 of September about the climate.  She criticized world leaders (Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron were present in the hall) for their inability to cope with the environmental crisis. “We are on the verge of mass extinction and all you can discuss is money and perpetual economic growth,” she said. The refrain in her speech was the phrase “How dare you”. The girl added that politicians stole her childhood. The speech provoked a reaction around the world: not only the media and users of social networks, but also world leaders spoke and wrote about it like about Thunberg herself. US President Donald Trump ironically called the activist “a very happy girl who is looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.”  - The www.vedomosti.ru tells about her speech. The reaction of huge amount of politicians was predictable like the Putin one.

"The fact that young people - adolescents - pay attention to the acute problems of today, including environmental problems, is right and very good, they certainly need to be supported," Putin said. But, according to him, when “someone takes advantage of them”, it is worthy of condemnation. According to Putin, Grete did not explain that "the modern world is complex and diverse, is developing rapidly and people in Africa or in many Asian countries want to live at the same level of prosperity as in Sweden."

"But how to do it? To make them use the energy of the Sun today, which is enough in Africa. Has anyone explained what the cost it? ”The president asked. He added that ideas related to the development of renewable energy should be supported, but based on realities. – source  www.vedomosti.ru.

My opinion about it absolutely matches with Russian President.

Kind and bright movement of “Greens” has become aggressive, full of political propaganda and hypocrisy madness of the world. For people who are not familiar with the specific language of thoroughgoing “greens” activists is required a certain translation of the key concepts used in this manifest. In their conceptual vocabulary, the “patriarchal system is any society with oppression” by traditional values, in which men are men and women are women, and family is the alliance between a man and woman, which also ensures the education of the next generation of earthlings. By the way, environmental activists of this kind often urge to refrain from having children- also in the name of saving the climate. Moreover, among young people in Anglo-Saxon countries, where propaganda of this kind of topics is working at full capacity, these viewers are becoming increasingly popular.

"Racist and colonial societies in which certain ethnic or racial minorities earn less than the majority on average. A great example of this Europe, where pseudologists are increasing with every second, is the following position: the only reason migrants more often commit crimes and earn less than local residents is it’s racism and xenophobia of the locals themselves. According to the logic of Greta Thunberg and her colleagues, they just need to be fought to save the climate of the planet. It is worth emphasizing the incredible cynicism of such activists as a whole thing: it is very difficult (although sometimes possible) to find their protests that a significant part of cobalt - the metal necessary for the batteries of electric vehicles which become favorite among huge amount of folks, for example: Tesla - is mined by African children in slavish conditions. Influences how stubbornly the advocates of "green madness" are pushing for the replacement of cars with electric cars.

Greta Thunberg’s manifesto is in tunes and relating with another important document, which is to some extent already included in the program of one candidate for the US presidency from the Democratic Party - “New Green Course” of the young Congresswoman socialist Alexandria Okasio-Cortes. The publication of this document in the United States turned into a terrible scandal, because in the accompanying materials the headquarters of a young and promising politician honestly admitted that this was not an environmental program to save the climate, but a political program under the guise of ecologists. Moreover, among the most memorable ideas reflected in the document, there are such delirious ideas as the “beef ban” (the drafters were very sorry that in ten years they would not be able to completely eliminate the cow population in the United States), the actual ban on the use of air transport.

Also I can mention the June of 2019. In that time Germany tried to close the power outage. The French state-owned international news television messaged about protests of German farmers, which were blocking roads, because of new “ climate decisions” are depriving them of food, money and hope for the future: "Thousands of farmers brought their tractors to German cities, protesting against the new agricultural policy of the government, which, they said, would undermine their livelihoods and make scapegoats climate change. Long tractor convoys delayed movement the main protests in Berlin and Bonn, in which federal government agencies are located, and thousands of other tractors buzzed with their horn and blocked roads in cities such as Munich, Gann over and Stuttgart. "

The consequences of the "green madness" reached the main gem of the industrial crown of Germany - its automakers. "The owner of Mercedes-Benz, Daimler, and Audi (the Volkswagen brand) have announced the loss of more than 20 thousand jobs, which was the first real sign of the enormous human cost of moving the industry from internal combustion engines to the Financial Times. - Electric vehicles, Daimler said which will reduce over ten thousand jobs in the next two years, so the owner of Mercedes-Benz added to the destructive series of job losses in Germany’s automobile industry. The cost of investing in electric cars and the pressure from falling sales profits stimulate a major restructuring of the entire industry. This year it was announced the loss of 50 thousand jobs.”

In the new "green economy", which is now being built in Europe (and, perhaps, they will try to build in the USA), it is difficult to find a place for atomic workers and oil workers, it is difficult for car mechanics and farmers to live in it. In such economy, there will be practically no place for traditional values and for parents, traditional families, natural awareness of who you are and what you were born for and such simple thing as meat. But in such a pseudo-ecological economy, there will be privileged ones for illegal migrants, for fighters for the prerogatives of various minorities and recipients of various subsidies: unprofitable electric vehicles to economically uncompetitive windmills that cannot provide uninterrupted power to the power system. If this goes further, the most paradoxical flow of tourists from the European Union can reach Russia, because only in Russia (and in China, but we are closer) you can safely eat natural (not soy) meat and ride a growling gasoline sports car without that so that the conscience and the "ecological Moral Police" in the face of social activists tormented the tourist. This, of course, is a joke - but this is the same joke in which there may be a serious and rather bitter share of truth for the victims of "green madness".

My conclusion here is that to resist theories undermining fundamentalism of system of values, but to live with thoughts about our future, what we will leave for our kids on this world and maybe for once think: Is this what we were aiming for? Is this the world that we created?

Are our ideas reasonable?
