THE POWER OF TIME
At the moment, I am listening to the speeches of the world leaders on the UN CLIMATE SUMMIT taking place in New York.
Is was started by the 70 years old man who spoke for 15 minutes
After him, three representatives of the youth get the chance to speak as well. Lawyer, Inventor and Greta Thunberg representing students. Speaking for 8, 3 and 7 minutes.
After that entré, the chance to speak was given to “world leaders” with the request to speak maximum for three minutes, or better to say 1,5 minutes. Already the first speaker breaks the barrier and the others just follow.
It was like the battle of the mightest.
The fight with a weapon available to everyone and no one at the same moment.
It was a hard battle
Every new fighter try to beat the one who spoke before him or before her
the behavior same for all, no exception. Breaking the rule become standard. In the end, nobody remembered the time limit set.
The second similarity was in the content delivered by the speakers.
It was the same as in PARIS, similar in KYOTO, only two topics changed. The face of Leaders and the date. In Kyoto, leaders spoke about the year 2000, In Paris about 2030, and today 2035, 2050 and in some cases 2100.
The result would be the same as many time before
Same as in Kyoto once again in 2019
NEW YORK repeats the same mistakes. Gives time to wrong ones.
It seems like almost all nations are calling CLIMATE EMERGENCY. Work is done.
Except for one everyone would be happy and will smile. Same as they applause to crying girl speech blaming them for the evil they represent.
The summit still run
being streamed worldwide
I am sure the parents of Greta happy on what they created by listening to own voices and to the one the daughter called for help. I am Father of same age girl, a girl with own opinion and strong will. A girl who follows her decisions not the one of her father or mother. She is not perfect, we are neither and what, the world does not have to be perfect, if have to be LIVING ONE, not a dead rock in the middle of nowhere.
