Thunberg: Draw a line, right here and now
Greta Thunberg has accused political leaders of “greenwashing” as the world approaches a climate crisis precipice.
In The Climate Book to be published this month, the environmental activist dismisses the idea that governments around the world are doing all they can to halt climate change and urged people to be uncompromising and reject vague environmental goals if they wanted to turn things around.
She said: “Any mention of vague, future goals is nothing but a distracting waste of time.”
She said: “We are approaching a precipice and I would strongly suggest that those of us who have not yet been greenwashed out of our senses stand our ground.
“Do not let them drag us another inch closer to the edge.
“Not one inch. Right here, right now, is where we draw the line.”
