Not
Greta of course, but I am willing to bet that the levels of hypocrisy
among the audience will have been EPIC
Greta Thunberg warns: "Time to panic!
Swedish
teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg says time is running
out to halt climate change and she’s urging European politicians
“to panic.”
Thunberg
told Members of European Parliament today: “I want you to act as if
the house is on fire.”
She
said that “if our house was falling apart you wouldn’t hold three
emergency Brexit summits and no emergency summit regarding the
breakdown of the climate and environment.”
During
a speech met with a standing ovation, Thunberg fought back tears as
she warned about rapid species extinctions, soil erosion,
deforestation and the pollution of oceans.
In
a reference to the international funding effort launched to rebuild
the fire-ravaged Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, she urged the
lawmakers to use “cathedral thinking” to tackle climate change.
