Swedish teenager's climate ptotest
30 December 2018
Fifteen year old Greta Thunberg sets an example to us all by the determination of her protest against the failure of governments and adults generally to take climate change seriously. Not only did she initiate a series of school strikes which spread worldwide, but she gave a quietly passionate address to the recent COP24 climate conference in Poland, in faultless English. In one of the most telling lines of her speech, she said
"You say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes."
