Since I summarized it in today\u2019s Open Thread, I\u2019m going to take a break from the impeachment trial of Putin\u2019s Pollution Pervert, Fuhrer of the Republican Reich, Resident Donald Trump.  Instead, I\u2019d like to give you an extreme example of good, followed by an extreme example of evil.  Then I\u2019ll contrast the two.<\/font><\/p>\n

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg inveighed against the sowers of \u201cclimate chaos\u201d Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, offering a view of the world that stood in stark contrast to President Trump\u2019s.<\/p>\n

In two speeches at the conference, the 17-year-old Thunberg renewed the call to \u201cstart listening to the science\u201d on climate change. The world, she said, needs to \u201ctreat this crisis with the importance it deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thunberg\u2019s remarks echoed her warning in Davos last year, when she told world leaders: <\/a>\u201cI don\u2019t want your hope. I don\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Swedish teenager\u2019s activism helped inspire a global climate action movement, which earned her Time magazine\u2019s Person of the Year title in December.<\/a> \u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
