It's this 'Time' to change! Is climate change really an existential threat, as Greta Thunberg claims?

 

 

Joining the likes of Hitler and Obomer, gracing the front of the Time magazine, the little 'How dare you?' girl has been declared as the Times Person of the Year 2019 for her contribution in relation to the climate change. While the young climate activist, who rallied millions to her 'Fridays for Future' movement, left no single chance to grab the world attention.

 

It is worth noting that the little girl has barely done anything special to get noticed. What she has done? Bunked schools and toured the world? There are many officials all over the globe who are really working for climate change on ground level. And who gets widely notice is this 16year old little girl, who ideally should learn life lessons first.

 

 

'How dare you!', went on to be the signature line at the United Nations Climate Action Summit as Greta angrily took on world leaders, spearheaded the massive demonstration of about 4 million people protesting against climate change and visibly upset, cornered US President Trump.

 

"People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth", she said who was agitated at the World leaders to focus to monetary aspects amore.

Getting over the fact check, deaths from natural disasters have decreased dramatically over the past century, up to 97 per cent drop and this is primarily due to economic developments that help nations withstand catastrophies. Also the percentage of the global experiencing drought has decreased since 1982, as claimed by the PragerU.

 

Further, in one hand, though arctic sea ice is melting, the antarctica sea ice is increasing. So with this, how dare little Thunberg claim that people across the globe were dying! Where did she see the entire ecosystems collapsing? Still only 16 years old, Thunberg rose to prominence after she started spending her Fridays outside Sweden's parliament in August 2018, holding a sign reading 'School strike for climate'. But the harsh bitterness and the expression of hatred in every message with crafted facial expressions caused worry for all those who agreed for a global policy to fight against climate change, not so impressed by the performance by this child activist.

 

Greta began suffering from depression as a child, by her own admission, in part as she learned about climate change at age eight. She was later diagnosed with autism and obsessive-compulsive disorder and gradually became despondent as she obsessed over her fear of climate change. She also developed mutism and an eating disorder so severe that she once went two months without food, and she stopped going to school.

 

Featuring Greta Thunberg on the front page of the 'Time magazine', that was founded by two Skull and bones members from Yale, currently owned by Marc Russell Benioff, is a unwarranted and not at all appreciative. What is the youth going to note out of this? To bunk schools, to protest or to severely accuse delegates without fact check? Also what about those who are actually striving for the climate change? It's this 'Time' to change, only this, and now!
