Apprearing more relaxed and animated than in previous speeches, Greta Thunberg laid it out before the French National Assembly on Tuesday. She also sounds more angry.
Be sure to catch what she says near the end about the new fad for declaring climate emergencies.
“Now political leaders in some countries are starting to talk. They are starting to declare climate emergencies and announcing dates for so-called “climate neutrality”. Declaring a climate emergency is good. But only setting up these vague, distant dates, and saying things that give the impression that things are being done and that action is underway will most likely do more harm than good because the changes that are required are still nowhere in sight.”
Edward R Murrow said of Winston Churchill, “he mobilized the English language and sent it into battle". We need someone like that today. It is my opinion that Greta Thunberg is that person.
