This is one of those “share the hell out of this on Facebook and Twitter” type posts, because it carries a clear and simple message: Greta has no idea what she is talking about.
The data in the graph is well known, from the International Disasters Database and was graphed by Bjorn Lomberg.
Thunberg made the pronouncement during her speech to the U.S. Congress this past week.
Even at 1 degree of warming we are seeing an unacceptable loss of life and livelihoods.
I’m sorry Greta, that’s just wildly wrong and not rooted in reality. It’s the worst sort of alarmism there is.
Imagine if you scaled that chart per capital – the world population has quadrupled in the 1920 – 2020 time frame.
Smh, she’s referring to deaths of animals
There’s far too much “Don’t attack the poor girl” sentiment expressed in this topic to date.
ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS ?
The well being of billions of people on this planet is threatened by the CAGW hoax/delusion. Thunberg is a person of high power now in the scam. You SHOULD be attacking her every which way at every opportunity.
People in power should expect to be challenged . There’s no get out of jail free card because you are young, mentally or physically disabled, had a hard life, missing a parent or ANY such reason. No get out clauses. None whatsoever.
So I say attack Greta verbally at every opportunity (you can add in her parents if it helps). Challenge EVERYTHING she says. If possible a challenge she has to answer personally from her own mouth with her own brain i.e. not diverted to “handlers”.
Failure to do this will be exploited. And I am being serious.
Exactly.
ONE OF the inconvenient facts these hoaxers leave out is that the apparent sea level change around Switzerland is negative. That’s right, from the tide gauges around there, the sea level is FALLING at 37mm per year. What’s more the big government organizations NASA and the NOAA exclude that reading from their statistics because it doesn’t further their fraud …its probably enough to reverse their alarmist numbers.
Sure we know that its partially due to the land rising, but we also know that there is significant land subsidence for most of the readings that are purported to mean the oceans are going to swallow everything up. Simply put they are cherry picking to further the biggest scam ever devised by humans.
The ‘poor girl’ is being scammed too … her and her parents need to do some real research and recant the lies they’ve been repeating.
[I am a little vague on the Swiss coastline, but being a mountainous country I am sure the Swiss will be OK. They could help resettling any Swedish refugees running away from falling sea levels though . . . mod]
Don’t attack the poor girl? I’ve decided that Greta is a droid. She looks almost human, but she behaves like a droid. No fear. Always in attack mode. Never shows normal teenage girl traits. Did she ever play with dolls? with friends? go to the beach? to the mall? smile? have an iPhone? have a cat or dog? It’s just too far off the scale.
That’s a lot of money. Would that be anything to do mineral exploration claims?

Looking at the the data from emdat concerning your “graph” it seems you are missing the increase in people affected by climate events, we got better at preventing death, we are not reducing the severity of climate events.
Deaths linked to pollution and disease are not mentioned in your graph either, and thunbergs loss of life might just refer to biodiversity and aquatic life. Which would be unacceptable and destroy many people’s livelihood. But that one sentence quote you give does not give much context.
That is if you even bother to take this psuedoarticle seriously.
Chinese Red Guards, 1966.
Purposely haven’t paid attention to her, but one of her “speeches” came up on the TV news, and even I was surprised by her vitriol and anger (that can’t be good for someone her age). But that’s SOP for eco-loons.

Destroy the economy and kill the cows and we will reach utopia. Amazing how perfectly parallel this story is to the AGW demands. Oh, estimates are that 40,000 to 70,000 Xhosa died.
The only real danger of a warming climate would be that ice caps on Antarctica and Greenland might melt and raise sea levels enough to flood coastal cities.
But raising the air temperature by 1 degree C doesn’t melt much ice. It takes about 310 calories to raise the temperature of a cubic meter of air by 1 degree C, but about 72 million calories to melt a cubic meter of ice.
Even if the temperature of the entire atmosphere was raised by 1 degree C, the equivalent depth of the atmosphere at sea-level pressure is about 8,600 meters, so the heat required to raise a square meter column of the atmosphere by 1 C would be 8,600 * 310 = 2.67 million calories.
If that heat was used to melt ice, it would melt ice to a depth of 2.67 / 72 = 0.037 meter (3.7 cm = 1.46 inch). Not much to worry about.
Little Greta should go back to school across the ocean and learn a little heat transfer, and she’ll discover that she has a much brighter future than she thinks.
“Even at 1 degree of warming we are seeing an unacceptable loss of life and livelihoods.”
Maybe that’s what Swedish pupils are told Mondays to Thursdays.
Not only Swedish pupils.
