Greta Thunberg spoke to the United Climate Action Summit in New York and the 16 year old activist did not mince any words about the damage we have done to our planet,-.
“We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. 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.”
CNN:
After delivering her powerful speech. Ms. Thungberg ran into Trump. It’s unclear what set her off, maybe his mere existence, but cameras caught her staring him down hard.
After sailing from the United Kingdom to New York in August, reporters asked her if she would want to meet with Trump. “People always ask me about Donald Trump … my message for him is listen to the science,” she said. “He obviously doesn’t do that.”
Guess who’s been nominated to receive the Nobel Peace Prize? Greta Thunberg, not Trump.
