 And again, calling a names is just damn stupid and it makes you look retarded because the fact is that she has the influence. Millions of people, millions of people are being inspired by her, like it or not. The popular idea of cutting our emissions in half in 10 years only gives us a 50% chance of staying below 1.5 degrees and the risk of setting of irreversible chain reactions beyond human control. 50% may be acceptable to you, but those numbers do not include tipping points, most feedback loops, additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution or the aspects of equity and climate justice. They also rely- I mean she doesn't know what climate justice means, there is no such thing as climate justice and if you cared about justice, you would never advocate for these ideas. You would never advocate for the solutions, put aside the science. You would never advocate for these solutions because these solutions are anything but just would inflict massive injustice on millions and millions, actually billions of people. But notice she has all the lingo down, she probably reads every scientific paper that comes out of this. If you've, you know, people with Asperger's, which she has, often get very, very focused and become specialized in a certain field, they know everything about that field. My sense is she can probably cite a lot of these papers by heart. She's taken all this seriously and now she's adding her moral fervor to it. In my generation, sucking hundreds of billions of tons of your CO2 out of the air with technologies that barely exist. So a 50% risk is simply not acceptable to us, we who have to live with the consequences. Now imagine a young person came out like this and started railing about social security and Medicare and how they are being expected to sacrifice for the sake of the older generations and how their great grandparents and grandparents are sucking the life out of them by taxing them to death, by creating a world that is economically going to make them poorer. Even if some young people stood up and made those kinds of claims, now today they would not be heard because everybody would say, what are you talking about? We have no context to understand your claims. But that's how I felt when I was 16. You created the status world. You created this altruistic world. You're denying me the freedom. You're denying me the wealth. You're denying me the opportunities. You're denying me the ability to live as I know, as Ayn Rand has projected. Every human being is capable of living and you make it impossible for me to do that. Now flip it and you can see why she's so powerful and why if we don't do anything about this, if we don't start challenging these assumptions, she's going to win. Because if all you can say about her, she looked retarded, she's won already. To have a 67% chance of staying below a 1.5 degrees global temperature rise, the best odds given by the IPCC, the world had 420 gigatons of CO2 left to emit back on January 1st, 2018. Today that figure is already down to less than 350 gigatons. How dare you pretend that this can be sold with just business as usual and some technical solutions? With today's emissions levels, that remaining CO2 budgets will be entirely gone within less than 8 and a half years. She's calling them out. The people who can change things. And they're not doing it. There will not be any solutions or plans presented in line with these figures here today. Because these numbers are too uncomfortable and you are still not mature enough to tell it like it is. You are failing us, but the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. But if you choose to fail us, I say we will never forgive you. So that's video number one. I want to show you another quick clip of her. Just like a minute and a half. Again, notice how she positions all this. This is black and white, no compromise, moral certainty, absolutism, uncompromising. This is what religion gives, but this is what moral certainty gives, moral certainty. And the particular religion here is environmentalism and the climate change is sterile and panic and this conviction that the world is going to end, kind of another millennial cult. That she brings to it moral fiver. And so watch this, let's see. This is by the way a Davos, Davos again. She's talking to people who have the power to make changes now. God help us if they do, but these are the people she's talking from her perspective from the perspective environmentalist movement. She's talking truth to power. You say nothing in life is black or white, but that is a lie, and that is a lie. Either we prevent a 1.5 degree of warming or we don't. Either we avoid setting off that irreversible chain reaction beyond human control or we don't. Either we choose to go on as a civilization or we don't. That is as black or white as it gets. That's powerful stuff. Black or white, Marley more, good or evil. If you believe this is good, if you believe this is right, if you believe the science, you got to do something. That's powerful messaging. Those of us who believe in free markets, those of us who believe in capitalism could learn something from this goal in terms of how we communicate. Now for us it's harder because we have to establish the facts. She can take them as for granted. Everybody in our audience agrees with the facts. What she's saying is do something about it. We must change almost everything in our current societies. Now this is, no, she says this is going to acquire major changes. What I believe is going to acquire major changes. I'm not a conservative. I'm not a moderate libertarian. To get the kind of world I believe in, we're going to have to change the world in dramatic, big and equivocal ways. So I get where she's coming from. I get the anger and frustration of being betrayed by the world around you, having your ideals be betrayed by the world around you. The bigger your carbon footprint is, the bigger your moral duty. The bigger your platform, the bigger your responsibility. Adults keep saying we owe it to the young people to give them hope. But I don't want your hope. I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act. I want you to act as if you were in a crisis. I want you to act as if the house was on fire because it is. That is powerful stuff. And unless you understand your enemy, you cannot win. And unless we, one of the big reasons why free market thinkers have not won is because they lack that moral fiber. They lack that moral certainty. We have to believe in the cause and be willing to believe, understand why it's evil. We have to fight for the future as if the future matters, as if we care. This is not an intellectual game. This is not me getting it and you not. This is not just playing around. This is about life. And it's about life or death. Greta gets it. It's about civilization or no civilization. Greta gets that. She's on the wrong side of this. But she knows what the stakes are. Do you? What we need today, what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist broods. I noticed yesterday when I appealed for support for the show, many of you step forward and actually supported the show for the first time. So I'll do it again. Maybe we'll get some more today. If you like what you're hearing, if you appreciate what I'm doing, then I appreciate your support. Those of you who don't yet support the show, please take this opportunity, go to Iranbrookshow.com slash support or go to subscribestar.com Iranbrookshow and make a kind of a monthly contribution to keep this going. I'm not sure when the next...
