IBDaMann's Speech:

Ever since the Global Warming problem outgrew the limited surface area of our planet two decades ago and was forced to expand into our oceans, the deniers have being screaming "the Pause!" and "Global Warming has stopped!" Those of us who truly care about our one and only Earth have been forced to suffer living without knowing the true magnitude of the impending Climate devastation. We have been prevented from taking meaningful action. We have been barred from protecting our children. We have been blocked from defending humanity from the capitalists who would just as soon kill us all. Now it looks like the capitalists are finally going to acheive their goal.

We watched helplessly as they turned our oceans into acid. We watched as they systematically killed off one species after another with impunity. We watched as they forced millions of hard-working people to flee their homes and their jobs and become poor Climate refugees living in death camps where world governments, acting on orders from Donald Trump, continue to separate the children from their families. We watched in horror as corporate bankers routinely slashed and burned Brazilian rainforests in order to build opulent palaces for their catered board meetings at which they gave themselves billions of euros in bonuses. Many of us lost all hope watching oil company executives dump caustic pollution into our lakes, streams, rivers and oceans in order to increase profits by a percentage point or two.

The time has come for the courageous among us to take a stand; to break the capitalist fetters and to overthrow all the social norms that leave us impotent to speak for ourselves. Climate Defenders care about our planet and act to protect it. Climate Defenders care about humanity and strive to save it.

Finally, they labour everywhere for the union and agreement of the democratic parties of all countries.

The Climate Defenders disdain to conceal their views and aims.

They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.

Let the deniers and capitalists tremble at a Climate revolution.

We have nothing to lose but our planet.

We have a world to win.

CLIMATE DEFENDERS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!
