Last Friday, Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old student from Sweden who has been skipping school every Friday to sit outside Sweden’s parliament to protest climate change inaction, gave a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, urging world leaders to act on solving the issue of climate change. “I want you to act as you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if our house is on fire. Because it is,” Thunberg said. A day before her speech at the annual conference attended by business and political leaders around the world, Thunberg also gave an impromptu speech at a luncheon where she said the economic elite, many of whom were seated in front of her, for contributing to the climate crisis. “Some people say that the climate crisis is something that we will have created, but that is not true, because if everyone is guilty then no one is to blame. And someone is to blame,” She said. “Some people, some companies, some decision-makers in particular, have known exactly what priceless values they have been sacrificing to continue making unimaginable amounts of money. And I think many of you here today belong to that group of people.” 👏 (📹: World Economic Forum) - #gretathunberg #girl #girls #teen #teenager #student #students #climatechange #climatestrike #globalwarming #environment #climate #stopclimatechange #climatechangeisreal #savetheenvironment #environmentalism #environmentalist #savetheearth #saveourplanet #sustainability #greenhousegas #pollution #sustainability #emissions #earth #wef #davos #switzerland #sweden #swedish
