Greta Thunberg says she doesn't understand why grown-ups and world leaders would mock children and teens for acting on science as students conduct a second wave of global protests demanding action on climate change.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg in Montreal on Friday, Sept. 27, 2019. Thunberg says she delivered the same message to Trudeau that she gives to all politicians -- that he needs to listen to the science and act on it.
“That we should take as compliment that we are having so much impact that people want to silence us,” she said at a rally in Montreal after meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “We’ve become too loud for people to handle so people want to silence us.” Her comments came as students in Italy symbolically torched a replica of planet Earth, one of many protests as part of the climate strikes sparked by the Swedish teen. Some participants echoed the anger she expressed this week at a U.N. summit in New York.
In New Zealand, students marched on Parliament in Wellington, staging one of the largest protests ever held in that capital. In Austria, organizers said 150,000 people participated, while local APA news agency said the number was 65,000.“She is the voice of a generation, of young people who are calling on their leaders to do more and do better,” Trudeau said. “And I am listening.”
