We have just entered a new decade, a decade where every month and every day will be absolutely crucial in deciding what the future will look like. Towards the end of January, chief executives, investors and policymakers will gather in Davos for the 50th anniversary of the World Economic Forum.
We demand that at this years Forum, participants from all companies, banks, institutions and governments immediately halt all investments in fossil fuel exploration and extraction, immediately end all fossil fuel subsidies and immediately and completely divest from fossil fuels.
We dont want these things done by 2050, 2030 or even 2021, we want this done now as in right now.
We understand and know very well that the world is complicated and that what we are asking for may not be easy. But the climate crisis is also extremely complicated, and this is an emergency. In an emergency you step out of your comfort zone and make decisions that may not be very comfortable or pleasant. And lets be clear there is nothing easy, comfortable or pleasant about the climate and environmental emergency.
Have you read?
Young people are being let down by older generations and those in power. To some it may seem like we are asking for a lot. But this is just the very minimum of effort needed to start the rapid sustainable transition. The fact that this still in 2020 hasnt been done already is, quite frankly, a disgrace.
Yet, since the 2015 Paris agreement, 33 major global banks have collectively poured $1.9tn (£1.5tn) into fossil fuels, according to Rainforest Actions report. The IMF concluded that in 2017 alone, the world spent $5.2tn subsidising fossil fuels. This has to stop ...

An off shore corporation that invoices Burisiama somehow pays the mortgage for the Obama house. Part or all of the money from Burisima originated as a kickback from Iran
Burisima = Clinton Foundation
Dear Greta Darling, my son, who is smarter than you, and he is almost 18, knows that his generation doesn’t know everything. He doesn’t believe in Globull Warming, because why does all the elites in Davis fly in their PRIVATE JETS, instead of flying on one commercial plane. Why don’t the ELITES sell their multi-million dollar oceanfront homes if they are worried about oceans rising? When you figure that out Greta, please give us a real answer, not a Bullsh*t answer. Thank you, an American who hasn’t seen any ocean rising in his 62 years.
Global Socialism bump for later......
Please do! And, start immediately after the proposal! How ya gonna get home? Phuckin hypocrites!

NO- Mathematically, that date is the end of the FIRST year of the decade. 1-2-3-4-5-6-.....
2020 thru 2029 is the decade.
2000 thru 2009 was the first decade of this century.

If you are living on a planet that has cyclic ice ages, and you want to severely limit energy production......you could be an idiot.
How dare you Greta? How dare you?

Thus the current new decade starts on January 1, A.D.2021
A big AMEN to that post, brother freeper!
And take all our money out of these type of funds - if we haven’t already...
Thats one odd movie. Good but odd.
