Greta Thunberg Bristol climate strike: 'The world is on fire'
BBC News ^ | February 28, 2020

Posted on 02/28/2020 11:31:25 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Greta Thunberg has warned "those in power" she will "not be silenced when the world is on fire".

The teenager was welcomed by chants of "Greta, Greta" as she addressed some 15,000 people at the Bristol Youth Strike 4 Climate (BYS4C) event.

She accused politicians and the media of ignoring the climate emergency and "sweeping their mess under the rug".

"We are the change, and change is coming whether you like it or not," the Swedish environmentalist said.

Greta was speaking at the climate strike event on College Green, before leading a march through the city.

"Activism works so I'm telling you to act," she said. "We are being betrayed by those in power."

Wet weather failed to deter thousands of people turning out for the 17-year-old. "Our leaders behave like children so it falls to us to be the adults in the room. They are failing us but we will not back down," Greta told the crowds.

"It should not be this way but we have to tell the uncomfortable truth. They sweep their mess under the rug and ask children to clean up for them.

"This emergency is being completely ignored by the politicians, the media and those in power.

"Basically, nothing is being done to halt this crisis despite all the beautiful words and promises from our elected officials.

"So what did you do during this crucial time? I will not be silenced when the world is on fire."

For anyone who paid any attention this shouldn’t come as a surprise as weather patterns world wide been having a crazy streak. While there may have been a warm up in the Antarctic, camels in Saudi Arabia have been stomping around in snow. All this along with an increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding, droughts and unusual amounts of snow is just an “Appetizer” of what lies ahead as we are once again at the beginning of the repetitive 3600 year signature cycle.

It is the same cycle which gave us the TEN PLAGUEs in ancient Egypt and eventually led to the EXODUS of the Jews. The catch is and was that these unusual events were not just limited to ancient Egypt as ancient Chinese records point to similar events there as well. In other words crazy and unexpected things were taking place world wide at that time, just as they do now. The problem is that we are just at the beginning of this cycle and the worst is yet to come. By no means do I take delight in seeing it come and wish with all my heart to be dead wrong, but what already is taking place speaks for itself.

Needless to say official sources will never admit what really is taking place for obvious reasons, and most people still think this to be a joke, until it will strike home and so far the US has been fairly lucky, in comparison what has been taking place in other parts of the world. And for the ones blaming all those crazy weather patterns on humans and what they may have done wrong in regards to pollution etc., it may be interesting to hear their explanation how this reflects on the increase in earthquakes as well as volcanic eruptions?

And by he way if we go back from the year 2020 plus 1500 BC (3520) the time of the 10 PLAGUES we are just shy of 80 years of the full 3600 cycle. Needless to say a few years one way or another may be lost in the translation, but overall we are pretty close on target for his event, something what most likely will cause a lot of damage and problems.

what makes you think it’s a repetitive cycle?

You’ve only got one data point 3600 years ago. And the timing of that event is not certain.

I don’t know of any scriptures that say there is 3600 year cycle that will repeat.

There are some scriptures that talk about events leading up to the Great Tribulation and the return of Christ. And that might be the “birth pangs” that we are seeing.

But a recurring cycle?

What is “on fire” are little greta’s few remaining functioning brain cells. This defective kid is definitely going to ax-murder her parents for exploiting and abusing her...and then suicide. So sad...and the world will go on.

It’s all about the science and not man-made global warming hoax....something most learned about in GRADE SCHOOL.

Every time I read about her I feel the need to put on “Thick as a Brick” and catch up on Little Miltey.

Greta needs to be sent to her room without her supper and no electronic devices.

Don’t care about her carbon footprint, rather I’d prefer that somebody bitch slap the snot out of that snooty little bitch and send her NAZI ass back to school where she belongs.

Obviously her parents aren’t concerned about her possible exposure to Coronavirus if they’re letting her run all around the world.

The book I’m reading tells of favorable climatic conditions in Europe between 1150 and 1280 with longer growing seasons for cereal crops which led to abundant food supplies. And Europe was free from pandemic disease from the 9th century to the middle of the 14th. Europe was almost virtually free of major wars..there was more prosperity, and increased legal order. Then the 14th Century happened, and it all went downhill...war, disease, and colder climate. Of course these climate activists don’t care about history, and choose to believe that climate change only occurred recently.
