Greta Thunberg calls Glasgow climate summit a failure | Abroad

Behind the scenes, leaders of northern countries are refusing to act, Thunberg said in a speech to thousands of young people. According to the climate activist, the world powers are not doing anything about climate change. “But they can’t ignore us,” she said.

The climate activist argued that the people most affected by climate change are still not being listened to. “But the facts don’t lie,” Thunberg said. To ensure that global warming is limited to 1.5 degrees, society must fundamentally change, warned the climate activist. She called this the result of the continued failure of world leaders to tackle the climate crisis. “We’ve had enough of their blah blah.”
