The international press and our local commentators have written extensively on the boat
trip of Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swede, behind a global climate movement. But while
they and they have fun to fuel the controversy around the conditions of return of the ship
in Europe, they and they divert the issue of his trip and avoid pointing the real problem.
---- As Greta Thunberg points out in Join us #grevepourleclimat: " Everyone agrees[that
climate change]is an existential threat, the most important challenge of our time yet
nobody moves. Everything continues as if nothing was wrong. (P.8) ---- She adds: " No one
ever speaks that we are experiencing the sixth mass extinction[1]... no one ever talks
about fairness or climate justice, principles yet clearly laid at the heart of the Paris
agreement " (page 9).

A message of indignation and urgency

" To avoid a warming of more than 2 degrees, countries like Sweden must start reducing
their[greenhouse gas]emissions by 15% a year. "(P.9)

As Greta Thunberg and thousands of other young and old people who followed in the global
climate movement put it: "  ... why do not we reduce our emissions? Even worse, why are we
allowing them to increase? (P.10)

Faced with the inaction and incoherence of politicians in Sweden, the student decides on
20 August 2018 to strike by sitting at the foot of parliament until Sweden respects the
Paris agreement . Soon the movement is gaining momentum and wins first of all Sweden and
then the world.

His message is a simple reminder of the facts established by the scientific community and
the international commitments made summit after summit by this minority at the controls.
Nevertheless, it seems easier to point out the contradictions of his trip (zero carbon) in
America than to hold the real leaders of the current crisis to account; that is,
politicians, shareholders, and captains of industry. Those who day by day continue to
enrich themselves at the expense of all forms of life.

Polluters and their lackeys

Here as in Europe, opinion makers and their keyboard warriors attacked Greta Thunberg
because of her age. As if the young people could not be anything other than mere puppets
and they are not able to think for themselves.

" I do not belong to any organization ... and represent only myself. I do this on a
voluntary basis, I do not receive money or promise of gain from anyone. "(P.29) responds
the student to her critics.

It may be more profitable for right-wing populist columnists of the Journal de Montréal to
divert attention from the real issues by putting people against each other.

On the other hand, we are not sure that the Mathieu Bock-Côté or Richard Martineau of this
world would pollute the social climate by their stupidity if they did not receive any
remuneration like Greta Thunberg.

Everything must change and it must begin today - Greta (p.13)

Faced with the inaction of the politicians who, in the Saguenay, supported all the
destructive projects and the lack of courage of the man who nevertheless calls himself an
ecologist (Simon-Olivier Côté, link ), we are more and more to declare as the young Swede:
"  Why exactly should I study[or work]for a future that may soon no longer exist because
no one is doing anything to save it? (P.12)

"Fuck gender, take a molotov, burn the police." These few words written on the sign are
enough in today's Czech Republic to drive you to court. This is what happened to the
anarchist songwriter performing under the name Beltza Gorria. The first hearing in her
case took place on 9 July in the building of the District Court in Karviná. This was
preceded by annoying her family and without sending her a cops summon (apparently it's
harder than sending e-mails, sms and calling), they launched a search for her. After long
secrets, she eventually learned that she was accused of "inciting the crime of violence
against an official" and the police expressed their efforts to combine her activism with
the Phoenix 2 case, although it makes no sense at all.

Support for her, but also other prosecuted activists, expressed on June 22 anarchists from
northern Moravia in several solidarity actions . For example, friends from the
Anti-Fascist Team 161 produced a giant banner saying "Stop Political Trials." They can
lock you up, but never break ', which they hung over a busy road.

During another trial held in Karviná on August 29, an 18-year-old anarchist was sentenced
to a two-month sentence of imprisonment for one year. She appealed the judgment. For
A2larm , who was interested in the case, said: "Even during this case, the police
convinced me that my attitudes were correct. And I don't regret taking this banner.
Security could be ensured even without the police. "
