Hundreds of thousands of people joined the protest in Madrid demanding that the warnings from the world's leading scientists should be listened to.

""Time for Action" is the motto of the United Nation's COP25 climate conference and the demand made by some 500,000 protesters as they took the streets in the center of Madrid on Friday.

Environmental activists dancing and playing music were joined by grandmothers and families with children as people from all different walks of life came together to protest in an atmosphere akin to a festival.

But the message was much more serious and very clear: "Climate Action Now!," read one sign. "One Earth = One Chance," said another."

Yesterday I saw a news article probably on Drudge about Californians regarding
Climate Change as a #1 priority. I couldn't find the link, so here's a Duck Duck Go
search on "Survey California Climate Change"

Greta Thunberg's response to the deniers.

"The endless conspiracy theories and denial of facts.
The lies, the hate and the bullying of children who communicate and act on the science.
All because some adults - terrified of change - so desperately don't want to talk about the #ClimateCrisis
This is hope in disguise.

Climate Fraud: UN General Secretary Guterres Tells 3 Lies In Single Sentence! He’s “Saying Exact Opposite Of What’s True”

By P Gosselin on 10. December 2019
It’s certainly no misperception that global warming alarmists have become far more shrill over the past months with ever wilder, more sensational claims about how the climate is getting more dangerous.
Making up facts
For example, in his COP25 opening speech, many of the claims made by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres outright flunked the reality test, were exposed to be outlandish and seemed to be completely made up.
At Twitterm, Timjbo tweeted some Sky News footage of a statement made by the UN Secretary General, followed by a fact-check:
Climate related disasters are becoming more frequent, more deadly, more destructive with growing human and financial cost.”​


Many of Mr Guterres’ assertions in his opening speech #COP25 didn't stand up to scrutiny, including his claim a record number of people are dying due to climate-related disasters. @CraigKellyMP #Outsiders

Not true, the #UN is after cash.

Full interview https://youtu.be/qxg2RRA8RTY





“Incredible 98% reduction” in climate deaths since 1930​
The footage of Guterres is then followed by a Sky News panel analysis at Sky News, which featured MP Craig Kelly, who said that Guterres told three untruths in a single sentence.
First, Guterres claims a greater number of deaths from climate-related disasters, but this is untrue as the data chart show:

Lie no. 1: More climate-related deaths. Reality: 98% reduction since 1930!​
Guterres is saying the exact opposite of what is true
Kelly shows that climate-related deaths are “at the lowest level in history”.
“There’s been a 98% decline, an incredible 98% decline since the 1930s,” said Kelly. “And this year we’ll get the lowest number of deaths from climate-related disasters, ever!”
Kelly slams the UN Secretary General for saying the “exact opposite of what is true.”
Lie number 2: increasing number of climate related disasters
Also shown by Sky News is a chart depicting the number of reported natural disasters since 2000.

It’s a lie that climate-related disasters have increased.​
Lies for cash = fraud
Here as well climate-related disasters have fallen steadily since 2000.
Kelly believes that money is behind all the falsehoods. “The UN is after cash,” Kelly says. He adds: “Now when someone makes false and misleading statements asking for cash, that is called fraud.”
Lie no. 3: “The costs of disasters is increasing.”
The third lie in the Secretary General’s whopper statement was saying the costs of disasters was rising. But here as well the data tell the opposite story:

OMG.

500,000 people? I wonder how mad the litter problem will be?
 
People all across the world are joining the global climate movement.

"In Udaipur, India, 17-year-old Vidit Baya started his climate strike with just six people in March; by September, it was 80 strong. In Brasilia, Brazil, 19-year-old Artemisa Xakriabá marched with other indigenous women as the Amazon was burning, then traveled to the U.N. climate summit in New York City. In Guilin, China, 16-year-old Howey Ou posted a picture of herself online in front of city government offices in a solo act of climate protest; she was taken to a police station and told her demonstration was illegal. In Moscow, 25-year-old Arshak Makichyan began a one-man picket for climate, risking arrest in a country where street protest is tightly restricted. In Haridwar, India, 11-year-old Ridhima Pandey joined 15 other kids, including Thunberg, in filing a complaint to the U.N. against Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina and Turkey, arguing that the nations’ failure to tackle the climate crisis amounted to a violation of child rights.


In New York City, 17-year-old Xiye Bastida, originally from an indigenous Otomi community in Mexico, led 600 of her peers in a climate walkout from her Manhattan high school. And in Kampala, Uganda, 22-year-old Hilda Nakabuye launched her own chapter of Fridays for Future after she realized that the strong rains and long droughts that hurt her family’s crops could be attributed to global warming. “Before I knew about climate change, I was already experiencing its effects in my life,” she says.


The activism of children has also motivated their parents. In São Paulo, Isabella Prata joined a group called Parents for Future to support child activists. Thunberg, she says, “is an image of all of this generation.”"

Huge Climatic Crowd Exaggeration! Claimed Size Of 500,000 Was 97% Lie… Only 15,000 In Madrid, Spanish Police Say

By P Gosselin on 13. December 2019
Grand media deception

So typical of climate science. Everything in and around it gets wildly exaggerated in order to feed media consumption and deceive the public. Reports are emerging that the “500,000 people” crowd awaiting Greta in Madrid was in fact as low as 15,000, according to Spanish federal police.
That would make the 500,000 claimed figure a 3000% exaggeration!

Ms. Thunberg, media, claim crowd in photo was 500,000 people. But Spanish federal police say the crowd was closer to 15,000. Image: Greta Thunberg.​
=========================================
Greta demonstration in Madrid: Crowd number – 97% is exaggeration?

By A. R. Göhring
(German text translated/edited/supplemented by P Gosselin)
After Greta Thunberg’s arrival in Madrid, there was an “unprecedented demonstration” for climate protection in the Spanish capital, supposedly involving 500,000 participants.
But the federal police say there were about 15,000 (!) demonstrators.
At German news outlets, people could read that Greta Thunberg at first had to interrupt participating at the demonstration in Madrid – because of so many people and security could not be guaranteed. Later she stood on a stage with famous Hollywood actor Javier Bardem and gave a speech.
There were, as usual, no scientific facts to be found, but a lot of feeling, self-righteousness and general demands to an ominous elite, who officially stand behind Thunberg’s FFF.
The leaders are betraying us. Enough is enough. Change comes whether you like it or not. We want to see action.” [translated from the German]
​
Bardem seconded: “We only have ten years to mitigate the worst effects of climate change.” He also hit the Mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martinez-Almeida, and President Donald Trump for their “stupid” measures against climate change.

Sources revealing much smaller numbers
The Spanish media, but also the Austrian ORF, are now discussing falsified numbers of participants. The mass media had spoken of 500,000 demonstrators. That would mean that Greta caused one of the largest climate protection demonstrations on the planet in Spain.
Largely empty seats in Katowice in 2018
Those who remember the coverage of the world climate conference COP24 in Katowice, Poland, know that Thunberg’s “breakthrough”, an emotional and panic-stricken speech in front of a “large” audience, had already been manipulated. In fact, the 15-year-old Swede spoke in front of largely empty rows of chairs, which was not visible in the media due to the skillful selection of photographic and film perspectives.
Police figure: only 15,000
Therefore the brash falsification of the numbers is not surprising. The organizers of the demonstration spoke of half a million participants, but the large newspaper El País spoke of 25,000 to 35,000, and the Spanish federal police of only about 15,000 people with the help of helicopter images.

It's good to see that the world is coming together for Climate Change.
 
Australia tossed a turd in the punch bowl in proclaiming they get to count carbon credits earned under Kyoto toward their Paris pledges while they continue to expand coal.
 
Greta the hypocrite.
Greta the uncaring propagandist.
Greta who makes threats.

Strange. I still seem to have all of those things. Has Craig Rucker had a visit from the debt collectors and is somehow confusing this with climate action?
