Greta Thunberg sits in silence in the cabin of the boat that will take her across the Atlantic Ocean. Inside, there’s a cow skull hanging on the wall, a faded globe, a child’s yellow raincoat. Outside, it’s a tempest: rain pelts the boat, ice coats the decks, and the sea batters the vessel that will take this slight girl, her father and a few companions from Virginia to Portugal. For a moment, it’s as if Thunberg were the eye of a hurricane, a pool of resolve at the center of swirling chaos. In here, she speaks quietly. Out there, the entire natural world seems to amplify her small voice, screaming along with her.
“We can’t just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow,” she says, tugging on the sleeve of her blue sweatshirt. “That is all we are saying.”
It’s a simple truth, delivered by a teenage girl in a fateful moment. The sailboat, La Vagabonde, will shepherd Thunberg to the Port of Lisbon, and from there she will travel to Madrid, where the United Nations is hosting this year’s climate conference. It is the last such summit before nations commit to new plans to meet a major deadline set by the Paris Agreement. Unless they agree on transformative action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the world’s temperature rise since the Industrial Revolution will hit the 1.5°C mark—an eventuality that scientists warn will expose some 350 million additional people to drought and push roughly 120 million people into extreme poverty by 2030. For every fraction of a degree that temperatures increase, these problems will worsen. This is not fearmongering; this is science. For decades, researchers and activists have struggled to get world leaders to take the climate threat seriously. But this year, an unlikely teenager somehow got the world’s attention.

دسامبر ۲۰۱۹، ترامپ به گرتا گفته بود که روی "مشکل مدیریت خشمش کار کند" و برای تماشای یک فیلم قدیمی با دوستش به سینما برود. توییت رئیس آمریکا با جمله "خونسرد باش گرتا، خونسرد!" شروع شده بود و او انتخاب گرتا به عنوان شخصیت سال را "مضحک" خوانده بود.
اما بعدازظهر دیروز، وقتی که ترامپ در توییتر با حروف بزرگ به نتایج انتخابات اعتراض میکرد، گرتا دقیقا همین حروف را به او برگرداند.
این فعال محیطزیست در پاسخ به توییت ترامپ که خواستار پایان شمارش آرا شده بود، نوشت: «چقدر مضحک! دونالد باید روی مشکل کنترل خشم خود کار کند و بعد هم با یک دوستش به تماشای یک فیلم قدیمی خوب برود. خونسرد باش دونالد، خونسرد!»
We think capitalism is in danger of falling apart. As a result, the business, which has been fairly reticent in the past about the mechanics of investing sustainably, is planning to increase its visibility
.We need to go all in. We are going to be more aggressive because we have to
Utilizing the power of celebrity (an unprecedented phenomenon for the expansion of capital in the west), today’s global influencers such as Thunberg
are fully utilized to create a sense of urgency in regard to the climate crisis. The unspoken reality is, they are the very marketing strategy to save capitalism

این شاخهای احمق اینستاگرام که دنبال فالوور بیشترند به نظرم ارجحیت دارند تا این عروسک کوکیهایی که با احمق فرض کردن مخاطب و پروپاگاندا به عنوان شخص سال معرفی میشوند...
