You gotta admit, the kid has guts and did a great job with her speech, but sadly, to the wrong folk..they have no authority to do anything that will make any changes to the climate &#8211; or anything else.  Alas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way the world will begin to address climate change is when a critical mass of humans that aren&#8217;t poor and brown die.  What is really needed here is for someone to find a way to make real money from finding solutions to prevent the earth from heating up.  Unfortunately, we aren&#8217;t that clever, so it will be a while and a lot of folk will suffer&#8230;along the way to achieving that critical mass.  How many will it take?  1%? Since there&#8217;s 7.7 billion people, that means 770,000 people have to die.  So far we&#8217;re estimating about 400,000 per year &#8211; so we&#8217;re halfway there!   Anyone volunteering to make up the difference?  Not me &#8211; not finished with my books yet, and can&#8217;t leave my readers hanging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"290\" height=\"163\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Greta-at-the-UN.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7968\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UN opens its fall session today, with an impassioned speech by the Nordic princess of climate change, Greta Thunberg.
