ACTIVITY 2 Directions. Here is a transcript of Greta Thunberg's Speech in the UN Climate Change Conference last December 11, 2019. As a fellow youth like Greta, write a reaction paper regarding of what you feel after reading this transcript. Do you agree with her? What are your realizations? (00:26) Hi. A year and a half ago, I didn't speak to anyone unless I really had to, but then! found a reason to speak. Since then, I've glven many speeches and learned that when you talk in public, you start with something personal or emotional to get everyone's attention. Say things like, our house is on fire, I wanted to panic or how dore you. (01:00) But today I will not do that because then those phrases are all that people focus on. They don't remember the facts, the very reason why I say those things in the first place, we no longer have time to leave out the sclence. For about a year! have been constantly talking about our rapidly declining carbon budgets over and over again. But since that is still being ignored, I will just keep repeating it. (01:38) In chapter two, on page 108 in the SR 1.5 IPCC report that came out last year, it says that if we ought to have a 6% to 7% chance of limiting the global temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees Celsius, we had on January 1, 2018, 420 gigatons of CO2 left two emit in that budget. And of course that number is much lower today as we emit about 42 gigatons of CO2 every year including land use (02:18) With today's emissions levels, that remaining budget will be gone within about eight years. These numbers aren't anyone's opinions or political views. This is the current best available science. Though many scientists suggest these figures or to moderate. These are the ones that have been accepted through the IPCC, and please note that these figures are global and therefore do not say anything about 4
