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."

What will the adults do if the children go on strike?

Um, Greta. I’m struggling with something. Maybe you can help me. I need to remember the formula for Pi. I’m sure with your extensive science background you can help me out. I’ll wait right here for your answer.

She has Asperger’s Syndrome.

I have a nephew with that condition.

They are mentally, emotionally and socially functional, but at a below average level. Borderline substandard.

Then add in the fact she is being used and manipulated.... Very sad.

You are right on target as I ran across a story where they had roses blooming in he higher elevations in Switzerland in the eleventh century and it is a mountainous country. In other words these cycles are nothing new. Except in this case I do believe that his cycle is related as well as being triggered by this 3600 year signature cycle.

More than twenty years ago a brief article appeared in the Smithsonian Magazine detailing the new Vatican observatory on Mount graham in Arizona. Initially I thought this was very nice as well as interesting and for a couple of weeks it just about slipped from my mind. But with my mind being on the inquisitive side after some time my mind kept on revisiting this story and the question cropped up, what is so interesting out there and what may they be looking for? This was about the time my research began and over time many interesting things turned up.

Not long after the completion of the initial telescope, which by the way is a good one, the Vatican installed another telescope but this time it was the type for detection of infrared radiation, in other words heat or a celestial object which was in the process of becoming a star but never accumulated enough material to fully ignite and just glows very dimly. Was this the object as described in ancient Sumerian historic accounts? Apparently a celestial object many times larger than Earth on an elliptical trajectory course similar to a comet which periodically passes by our solar system and as it passes by, due to gravitational forces exerts it influence on all other planets in our solar system including earth and in the process can cause all kinds of problems, such as we are starting to witness now and unfortunately this may be just the beginning.

Over time this has resulted in more frequent earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, strange weather patterns which have become more and more obvious such as frequent flooding’s as well as droughts in other areas. Flooding by itself is nothing unusual, but it becomes unusual when some areas get a half years worth of rain in a day or two. Or a sudden drop in temperature below freezing, where as in another the heat may be unbearable. The information on this subject may fill many, many, many pages available to anyone genuinely looking for it. Don’t expect confirmation from any official sources, as it may be the equivalent of shouting fire in a crowded theater. For anyone who never heard or delved into this subject it may be considered as gobbledygook or plain B.S. and brushed aside. As for myself I don’t believe in doomsday scenarios either, but what has been going on for quite some time around the globe and is continuing speaks pretty well for itself.

As I stated on many occasions, so far the US has been reasonably lucky compared to may other places which have not fared as well and most people don’t pay much attention until it hits home. You may be interested in a couple of articles one by Pierre Lescaudrone “Volcano’s, Earthquakes and the 3600 year comet cycle” And another well documented by Imanuel Velikovsky “The 3600 year signature cycle” I don’t quite agree with some of his other writings but this one is right on target and was perhaps a little ahead of its time.

I did not know that.

It is very sad how she is being used not only by the public but her parents as well.

Too bad she’s not trying to rat out the Clintons. That’s a sure ticket to oblivion.

One of your question was “What makes you think it is a repetitive cycle?” Think of the DELUGE amongst others as it was a PREDICTABLE yet unavoidable event. If it had not been predictable by the God(s) of our ancient past with one of them feeling sorry for Utnapishtim who took him aside and told him on the side, better get ready for what is to come. As the Gods knowing quite well what was in the offing and they had all intentions to let their human experiment perish.
