It’s a good thing they all took fossil fueled trips to the United Nations
Greta Thunberg & Allies File Climate Complaint Against 5 Countries (Not China)
Swedish teen climate alarmist Greta Thunberg and 15 other children filed a complaint with the United Nations on Monday, accusing five countries of inaction on combatting so-called climate change.
The complaint, filed with the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child, accuses Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, and Turkey of failing to fulfill their obligations to act against climate change, placing them in violation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a three-decade-old human rights treaty which sets out the “civil, political, social, and cultural rights of children.
“Change needs to happen now if we are to avoid the worst consequences. The climate crisis is not just the weather. It means also, lack of food and lack of water, places that are unlivable and refugees because of it. It is scary,†Thunberg said in a statement upon announcing the complaint.
The 16 petitioning children range from 8 to 17 years old and hail from Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Marshall Islands, Nigeria, Palau, South Africa, Sweden, Tunisia, and the United States.
The complaint was filed through the Third Optional Protocol, a mechanism which allows children to formally request the U.N. take action regarding the petitioner’s cause of choice.
The complaint does not name China, which accounts for 30 percent of global emissions, because it has not signed the part of the Convention on the Rights of the Child treaty allowing children to seek justice for breaching the agreement. The establishment media over the weekend remained silent on Beijing’s ban of Climate Strike events throughout the country, despite the participation of over 150 counties raising awareness for purported “global warming.â€
I think it would be fun to make the kids live the Cult of Climastrology life they are advocating. Take away their smartphones. Limit their use of the Internet because energy would be very, very expensive, as well as unreliable. Hand wash and line dry their clothes. Put a two minute timer on their showers. All those energy drinks go bye bye. If they want to go somewhere they can take the bus if their parents cannot afford a Tesla. They have to live in a tiny home. No burgers, fries, or pizza with meat toppings. Cheese would be very expensive, since cow populations get wiped out. Etc and so on. Oh, wait, right, 50% of their allowance is taken for The Government in taxes/fees.
And here’s one of the other kiddos
Months After Paradise Fire Triggered Her Asthma, Teen Activist Goes to UN Climate Summit
As fires ravaged the town of Paradise last year, killing 86 people and destroying 15,000 homes in Northern California, smoke seeped south into Davis. Face masks were distributed, but they were not impenetrable, and smoke inhalation began to overwhelm many, including Alexandria Villaseñor whose asthma was triggered.
“I remember being so scared thinking about how if I stood outside for too long, I could collapse and it would be over,†the 14-year-old climate activist said.
Villaseñor had recently moved to New York City from Davis, and was in her home state visiting family when the deadliest fire in California history ignited. She was soon sent back to New York, where she wound up in the emergency room after her asthma continued. There, she began to research wildfires and their connection to climate change.
Less than a month later, she sat outside the United Nations, joining 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg in a solidarity protest of global governmental inaction in addressing the climate crisis. Villaseñor said she’s been out there every Friday since for the past 41 weeks — through snow, sleet, rain and the polar vortex — while working to mobilize students throughout the country to join the fight.
So, see, because a fire that was caused by downed transmission lines, which many are blaming on incompetence of the power company, supposedly triggered her asthma, the rest of us are supposed to give in and allow Government to control our lives. Riiiiiiiight.
