About Greta's speech --- An excellent speech. She uses many of the figures of speech we have seen (metaphors, connotations, etc.). She even puts Climate change as an opportunity, and connects from there with the opportunity to address poverty. I am convinced that tackling poverty would save more people and faster, and also without so many COPs and so much spending on many illogical things (such as travelling in cars and planes to go to the COP). She deals very well with the issue of colonialism. I doubt very much that she alone would write her speeches… • We need to walk the talk… excellent metaphor • Climate change is job… and then adds GREEN jobs and everybody thanks • Bla Bla Bla is an excellent metaphor • Empty words = connotation • Don’t Get me wrong = Assertion
