Guys I have this question is the media bias about Greta Thunberg betraying her mother BC of climate change
Answer:
Explanation:
"The haters are as active as ever", the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist posted on social media on Thursday, "going after me, my looks, my clothes, my behaviour and my differences". Anything, she says, rather than talk about the climate crisis.
It hasn't stopped her from campaigning. On Friday, she led another of her climate strikes, heading up a huge demonstration in Montreal, demanding international aviation does more to cut its carbon footprint.
But she is clearly very annoyed, accusing critics of "crossing every line to avert the focus" with, what she calls, lies and conspiracy theories.
Of course, the attention isn't surprising. Over the past year, Greta Thunberg has arguably done more to galvanise global action on climate than any other single individual.
And there is no question the unnerving power of her rhetoric comes in part from the fact that she is so young.
Thunberg to leaders: 'You've failed us on climate'
UN panel signals red alert on 'Blue Planet'
Climate change 'accelerating', say scientists
Content is not available
A key reason her "How dare you!" message hit home so hard in the UN this week was because she seemed so jarringly out of place in the air-conditioned formality of the UN's New York HQ.
It is unusual for young people to hold the adult world to account so forcefully and so publicly and some people clearly don't like it.
She certainly did that on Monday when she accused world leaders of "stealing my dreams and my childhood", and warned them that "the eyes of all future generations are upon you. And, if you choose to fail us, I say: 'We will never forgive you'".
So, how about her mental health? And, while we're about it, does anyone have the right to comment on it? What's so impressive about Thunberg is how clear-headed she is on the urgent need for action in the light of the science.
Understandably, Thunberg particularly resents her mental capacity being called into question. "Being different is not an illness and the current, best available science is not opinions - it's facts", she said this week.
She acknowledges that she was very unhappy in the past, but says that championing the climate issue has helped lift her out of despair.
"It makes me feel good that I'm not alone in this fight," she told me, "and it feels like my life has some kind of meaning lately and I feel that what I am doing is meaningful."
She's famously described her Asperger's as a "superpower", allowing her to cut through the noise and see to the heart of the issue.
Media caption"You are failing us" - Greta tells world leaders
Dr James Cusack, director of science at the autism charity, Autistica, says she's been a really important role model for others with the condition. "Her brave, clear-minded and science-led approach to activism is inspiring for many people," he says.
And, while Thunberg is sometimes emotional about her cause she says that's because she's appalled and frustrated that the world isn't doing enough to tackle climate change.
She has the full support of her family. Her father, Svante Thunberg, is travelling in America with her - and shared the privations on her transatlantic voyage. Her mother and younger sister, Beata, stayed in Sweden.
She's no plans to stop campaigning any time soon.
These coming months are crucial, she told me, if the world is going to manage to keep the global temperature increase below 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels. Emissions have to start reducing before the end of next year, she warns, or we are likely to pass tipping points leading to uncontrolled climate change.
Yet, last year global carbon emissions increased by 2.7%, hitting a record high of 37.1bn tonnes.
Thunberg was upset by the response of the world leaders in the UN HQ this week. They politely applauded her speech but had no new initiatives that would significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and most also failed to acknowledge either her message or the fact that millions of people had taken to the streets to demand action just days before.
So, climate action remains very much a work in progress for Thunberg, despite her critics.
"I guess they must feel threatened by us," she wrote this week. "But the world is waking up."
Read the text and fill in the blank with the correct relative pronoun: "System InitiativesThe global, regional and industry challenges facing the world are the result of many “systems” – from global systems _______ influence the environment and natural resource security, to the economic systems that create inequality, to the regional systems that determine the fortunes of nations, to the industry systems that determine the effectiveness of supply and demand. To enable our constituents to make sustained positive change, we work with them to understand and influence the entirety of the system that affects the challenges and opportunities they are trying to address. We do this through a series of System Initiatives, described below."
Answer:
The best relative pronoun would be "that", but "which" also works.
That works for both people and things, and the world "global systems" is grammatically a thing, so "that" works for it.
Which only works for things, and emphasizes a bit more the preceding term.

A two paragraph of a moral dilemma that a girl would think of on the bus
Well, everyone travels with a purpose so the moral dilemma that the girl would be facing rather depends on her destination, in my opinion.
So it can be either Happy or sad I.e Any function in her family or any sick relatives.
It can also be this way that she might be visiting her ancestral place so she's having a high time reliving her old days or thinking of a new experience
Or Another prompt would be
She would be listening to a song which connects to her memories where the main concentration will be on her past rather than the destination. Here her dilemma is how to overcome her past and not live in those memories
Screech! When a driver pushes on the brake pedal, it initiates a process that causes the vehicle to
stop in motion. We literally trust braking systems with our lives every time we get into a vehicle or
cross at a busy intersection. How does this life-critical process work? It begins when the pedal is
pushed. At this moment brake fluid is reljased into the braking mechanisms. As the fluid collects,
this creates a leverage, which causes a friction to be applied. This friction will create a force that
will cause the wheels to stop and allow you to reach your destination safely. Beep! Beep!
This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

What is the main/central idea of the passage?
How a braking system functions on an automobile
Trusting automotive braking systems
Brake fluid being released in the area where the breaking mechanisms are
There is no main/central idea
Answer: How a braking system functions on an automobile
Explanation:
This passage´s main idea is not meant to focus on brake fluids or the trustworthiness of braking systems.
The main idea is how braking systems work as a whole. To do so, the passage describes the process that ensues since pushing on the brake pedal and until the vehicle stops, including the brake fluid being released, creating leverage and friction that make the wheels stop.

how can people achieve perfection in the moral,spiritual and social areas of life by taking guidance from the HOLY PROPHET'S (PBUH) LIFE
Answer:
People can achieve perfection in their moral, spiritual and social areas of life by seeking light,instructions and guidance from the Holy Prophet’s message and life.
Explanation:
Answer:
An important Hadith (saying) of the Prophet is that religion is not what one formally or ritualistically practices but how one deals with others. It is therefore not sufficient to be pious without performing deeds which demonstrate one's beliefs. It is reported that the Prophet once entered a mosque and saw at prayer a venerable old man with a long white beard. He was told that the man was in the mosque all day long, worshipping and dispensing the words of Allah to others. The Prophet then asked how he earned his living and was told that a merchant, not known for his piety, supported him. The Prophet remarked that of the two, the merchant was indeed the more worthy.

Write an argumentative essay for or against using public money to maintain national landmarks, such as the gateway Arch in St. Louis.
i need the conclusion please!!!!!
Answer:
A conclusion that is in favour:
"Using public money to maintain national landmarks is a good policy in the sense that a national landmark is a public good: no one can be excluded from enjoying the view of a national landmark like the Arch in St. Louis for example.
Because they are public goods, national landmarks are not likely to be profitable or provided by the private sector in a free market, and for this reason, government intervention in the form of public money becomes necessary".
