Speaking to world leaders during a speech at the UN, Greta Thunberg, the young Swedish activist delivered one of her most powerful speeches, condemning the inaction of heads of state in the face of climate change.
“My message is that we are watching you. All this is not normal. I should not be here. I should be at school on the other side of the Atlantic, “said the teenager, who has been on American soil since the end of August, after crossing the Atlantic aboard a zero-carbon sailboat, a whole symbol!
“How dare you? You stole my dreams and my childhood with your empty words! Whole ecosystems are collapsing, we are at the beginning of mass extinction, and all you are talking about is money, and fairy tales of eternal economic growth? How dare you! “She denounced with a loud voice.
As the youth continues its warning for the climate and Friday were nearly 4 million to demonstrate in the world, the activist warns: “If you decide to let us down, I tell you: we never forgive. We will not let you get away with it. The world wakes up, and change happens, whether you like it or not. Thank you”.
