Greta Thunberg's Powerful Speech At Climate Action, Summit 2019 Slammed World Leaders

in #climate5 years ago

It was Greta's day at the UN Climate Change Summit in New York on Monday blasting the world leaders with very strong words. "We'll be watching you," she began.

"This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school, on the other side of the ocean." Thunberg slammed U.N. leaders, striking a defiant and angry tone.

Thunberg blasted the world leaders, "you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you? You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, and yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing."

Her fiery speech at the United Nations Climate Action Summit, was not taken very well by the conservatives. On Fox News, Michael Knowles referred to Thunberg as “a mentally ill Swedish child who is being exploited by her parents. The network subsequently apologized for his remarks.

Meanwhile the participants of Climate Action Summit continue to deliberate.
