[0]
my message is that we'll be watching you
[5]
[Applause]
[11]
this is all wrong I shouldn't be up here
[15]
I should be back in school on the other
[19]
side of the ocean yet you all come to us
[23]
young people for hope how dare you you
[29]
have stolen my dreams in my childhood
[32]
with your empty words yet I'm one of the
[36]
lucky ones people are suffering people
[40]
are dying
[42]
entire ecosystems are collapsing we are
[46]
in the beginning of a mass extinction
[49]
and all you can talk about is money and
[52]
fairytales of eternal economic growth
[55]
how dare you
[57]
[Applause]
[64]
for more than 30 years the science has
[68]
been crystal-clear how dare you continue
[72]
to look away and come here saying that
[76]
you are doing enough when the politics
[78]
and solutions needed are still nowhere
[81]
in sight you say you hear us and that
[86]
you understand the urgency but no matter
[90]
how sad and angry I am I do not want to
[93]
believe that because if you really
[96]
understood the situation and still kept
[99]
on failing to act then you would be evil
[102]
and that I refuse to believe the popular
[112]
idea of cutting our emissions in half in
[115]
ten years only gives us a 50% chance of
[119]
staying below 1.5 degrees and the risk
[122]
of setting of irreversible chain
[124]
reactions beyond human control 50% may
[129]
be acceptable to you but those numbers
[132]
do not include tipping points most
[136]
feedback loops additional warming hidden
[138]
by toxic air pollution or the aspects of
[141]
equity and climate justice they also
[144]
rely on my generation sucking hundreds
[147]
of billions of tons of your co2 out of
[151]
the air with technologies that barely
[153]
exist so a 50% risk is simply not
[159]
acceptable to us we who have to live
[161]
with the consequences to have a 67
[166]
percent chance of staying below a 1.5
[169]
degrees of global temperature rise the
[172]
best odds given by the IPCC the world
[174]
had 420 gigatons of co2 left to emit
[179]
back on January 1st 2018 today that
[184]
figure is already down to less than 350
[187]
gigatons how dare you pretend that this
[191]
can be sold with just business as usual
[193]
and some technical solutions
[196]
with today's emissions levels that
[200]
remaining co2 budgets will be entirely
[203]
gone within less than eight and a half
[206]
years there will not be any solutions or
[212]
plans presented in line with these
[214]
figures here today because these numbers
[217]
are too uncomfortable and you are still
[220]
not mature enough to tell it like it is
[224]
you are failing us but the young people
[227]
are starting to understand your betrayal
[231]
the eyes of all future generations are
[234]
upon you and if you choose to fail us I
[238]
say we will never forgive you
[243]
[Applause]
[249]
we will not let you get away with this
[252]
right here right now is where we draw
[255]
the line the world is waking up and
[259]
change is coming whether you like it or
[262]
not thank you
[270]
you
[272]
[Applause]
