Severn Suzuki speaking at UN Earth Summit 1992

Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all her life. When she was 9 she started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They were successful in many projects before 1992, when they raised enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Their aim was to remind the decision-makers of who their actions or inactions would ultimately affect. The goal was reached when 12 yr old Severn closed a Plenary Session with a powerful speech that received a standing ovation.

The should have used the actress who claimed the Iraqi soldiers were throwing babies out of incubators. She was more convincing. Then again, her father is up to his neck in this scam. It's the global warming scam which paid for this young ladies university. Her father is eugenicist and environmentalis Daviid Suzuki. She now makes a comfortable living preaching the lie of genocide for mother earth. She is a twisted eugenicist.

i admire her courage, but then a speech won't change anything. you can touch 621,503 hearts but can you make them start on recycling and such?
-
@wwwtips I doubt they will even know such a speech exists then.

Reading the comments we realize there are too many people still not taking seriously about the pollution of our environment.....and worst,some of their comments are so disappointing. There were less than 700,000 viewers for this video and just at the side you can see another video about lust named "A Glance- Desire" had 16 900,000 hit...yes 16 millions....Some day when the pollution kill our planet they will remember Savern Suzuki speech and will be too late!

Why does this have only 620,459 views? This should be viral.

@BboyAMK seconded
-
can't believe a young 12yr. old woman silenced an entire council full of people...
-
she's only 12!!
-
@BboyAMK Agree. She is prideful but not memorable. Powerful speaker is Martin Luther despite the number of Jesus references.
-
Shes very brave and everything but shes not a powerful speaker...
