Look who’s here... it’s four-letter Greta!
GRETA Thunberg denounced world leaders for failing to act on climate change in a foul-mouthed tirade to fellow Cop26 protesters yesterday.
Repeating her ‘blah blah blah’ dismissal of politicians made at a youth summit in September, the 18-year-old activist said that heads of government were not doing enough to save the planet from disaster. Miss Thunberg, who arrived in Glasgow by train, told a demonstration ‘No more blah blah blah, no more whatever the f*** they are doing inside there.
‘This Cop26 is so far just like the previous Cops and that has led us nowhere. They have led us nowhere. Inside Cop, there are just politicians and people in power pretending to take our future seriously, pretending to take the present seriously. Change is not going to come from inside there, that is not leadership – this is leadership... We say no more blah blah blah, no more exploitation of people and the planet.’
Boris Johnson made reference to her comments in his opening remarks to the conference, saying ‘When it comes to tackling climate change, words, blah blah blah, without action, without deeds, are absolutely pointless.’
