谁说世上没有英雄# Midlife - 人到中年

一个十五岁的中学生,在全世界面前,对那些只知道权力游戏的政客,对那些伪善明恶
的富豪们,揭下了他们的假面,道出了真实的愿望和决心。
而缺乏英雄气质的我们,是不是至少要为她摇旗呐喊,为这些明白而又迫切的问题做点
什么。才不至于让小英雄们过早地直面世界的惨白和无助。
Greta Thunberg's full speech at the United Nations COP24 conference in
Poland:
My name is Greta Thunberg. I am 15 years old. I am from Sweden.
I speak on behalf of Climate Justice Now.
Many people say that Sweden is just a small country and it doesn't matter
what we do.
But I've learned you are never too small to make a difference.
And if a few children can get headlines all over the world just by not going
to school, then imagine what we could all do together if we really wanted
to. But to do that, we have to speak clearly, no matter how uncomfortable
that may be.
You only speak of green eternal economic growth because you are too scared
of being unpopular. You only talk about moving forward with the same bad
ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible thing to do is
pull the emergency brake.
You are not mature enough to tell it like is. Even that burden you leave to
us children. But I don't care about being popular. I care about climate
justice and the living planet.
Our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small
number of people to continue making enormous amounts of money.
Our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine
can live in luxury. It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the
luxuries of the few.
The year 2078, I will celebrate my 75th birthday. If I have children maybe
they will spend that day with me. Maybe they will ask me about you. Maybe
they will ask why you didn't do anything while there still was time to act.
You say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing
their future in front of their very eyes.
Until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than what is
politically possible, there is no hope. We cannot solve a crisis without
treating it as a crisis.
We need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground, and we need to focus on
equity. And if solutions within the system are so impossible to find, maybe
we should change the system itself.
We have not come here to beg world leaders to care. You have ignored us in
the past and you will ignore us again.
We have run out of excuses and we are running out of time.
We have come here to let you know that change is coming, whether you like it
or not. The real power belongs to the people.
Thank you.
