10 famous lines from teen activist: Greta Thunberg quotes
Greta Thunberg is a 17-year old atmosphere extremist from Sweden. A student with a chemical imbalance, remaining at under 5ft, she began the ‘School Strike for Climate’ fights. In the course of recent months, she has become a worldwide hotshot of environmental change development. As a little youngster, Greta was determined to have Aspergers and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). In the wake of finding out about the environmental change, she became discouraged and lost a great deal of weight, making it hinder her development. In any case, she at that point got resolved to change the assessment of billions and support atmosphere activity.
1. “At first when I heard about climate change, I was a climate denier. I didn’t think it was happening. Because if there really was an existential crisis like that, that would threaten our civilization, we wouldn’t be focusing on anything else.”
2. “I don’t really like being in the center of attention. I’m not used to that. All my life I have been like the invisible girl at the back that no one sees or listens to.”
3. “For way too long, the politicians and the people in power have gotten away with not doing anything to fight the climate crisis, but we will make sure that they will not get away with it any longer. We are striking because we have done our homework and they have not.”
4. “We can’t save the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed. Everything needs to change – and it has to start today.”
5. “I often talk to people who say, ‘No, we have to be hopeful and to inspire each other, and we can’t tell [people] too many negative things’ . . . But, no — we have to tell it like it is. Because if there are no positive things to tell, then what should we do, should we spread false hope? We can’t do that, we have to tell the truth.”
6. “The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions. All we have to do is to wake up and change.”
7. “Since our leaders are behaving like children, we will have to take the responsibility they should have taken long ago.”
8. “You say you love your children above all else and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes.”
9. “Why should I be studying for a future that soon may be no more, when no one is doing anything to save that future? And what is the point of learning facts when the most important facts clearly mean nothing to our society?”
10.“I think it is insane that people are gathered here to talk about the climate and they arrive here in private jets”
