Little Greta

Русский

Unfortunately, grown people frequently use children for achieving their own goals. 

    The Greta Thunberg story reminded me of my school experiences.

    At the end of the forties, Stalin decided to enlarge the collective farms by uniting several villages. Our village was large, and there were several small ones around.  There were collective farms in all villages. Some collective farms were richer. They did not want any unification. In the school building, should have been a meeting of all the peasants in order to solve the problem of unification.

    I was in fourth grade. Our teacher said that we should all go to this meeting and vote for the association. Otherwise, the assessment of our behavior will be reduced. She said that unification is a very important event for the country. It will accelerate our movement towards communism.

   We all happily went to this meeting. We participated very actively, shouting that we were going to communism and voted as requested. Collective farms were combined. Our merit in making this decision was substantial.

     Now back to Greta.

     Global warming is determined by many processes, not only by carbon dioxide emissions.  There are much more powerful influences on Earth temperatures then  due to carbon dioxide. [1]
    Climate change is a too difficult problem for children's minds.The current Earth temperature change is little understood even by professional climatologists. It is a shame to do propaganda among children who are not prepared to verify the correctness of propagandist ideas.
