"Hysterical eco-dictatorship" and even more violent reactions reaped Greta Thunberg on a new post on Twitter. Many do not want to admit their worldview.

  • It was almost quiet around the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg .
  • With a new desperate tweet , Thunberg is not only causing a stir.
  • Some Twitter users even resort to verbal abuse.

Stockholm - With a similarly strong statement, the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg * has already caused violent reactions at the World Economic Summit in Davos *. Now she rephrases the serious allegation. "Act as if you love your children more than anything," said Thunberg in December in Davos *. Now she shares a similar critique on Twitter and calls for self-reflection: "Will you be the first generation ever not willing to sacrifice your own comfort to ensure a future for them?" - "Will you be the first generation at all who are not ready is sacrificing your own comfort in order to secure the future for them ( note: your children)? "

Think of your own children when you read this.
Will you be the first generation ever not willing to sacrifice your own comfort to ensure a future for them?
Because that's where we are right now ...
And this is why we strike from school. https://t.co/w7rHgAQoYS

Thunberg * had held back on accusations in recent weeks and rather pointed out various catastrophes and developments by sharing tweets from others. Such as tweets from young people in Russia who complained about the ban on strikes. Or about bee and insect death. What the 17-year-old climate activist is so outraged that she directs this drastic charge at adults around the world is a recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN children's aid organization Unicef .

Accordingly, there is no country in the world that does not abandon its minors in one area. That said health expert Anthony Costello, one of the main authors of the report. A commission of 40 experts from all over the world is behind the explanations on the situation of children and adolescents .

According to a UN study, children and adolescents in Norway, South Korea and the Netherlands have the best chance of thriving. Their peers in the Central African Republic, Chad and Somalia are the worst off worldwide. Germany is in 14th place, Switzerland in 15th place and Austria in 19th place out of a total of 180 countries. The ranking takes into account factors such as health, nutrition and education.

Greta Thunberg: Outrage after tweet by climate activist - fear of "hysterical eco-dictatorship"

Greta Thunberg's tweet has not only provided insight into her Twitter followers . The call “think of your own children when you read this” obviously does not have the desired effect on readers and often causes outrage: “I have no children. I will have no children. This world is overpopulated anyway, ”writes one user. Another: “I think of my children and grandchildren. I don't want them to live in a hysterical eco-dictatorship. ”Other users even resort to verbal abuse.

Greta Thunberg's appeal * is also well received. As one user writes: “The latest models predict that your children will almost become extinct. We can and should react. "

Well said Greta

Once again, read updated climate models
They predict near extinction for your children
We can and should react
