Greta Thunberg: 'You say you hear us, and that you understand the urgency...I do not want to believe that. Because if you really understood the situation, and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil. And that I refuse to believe.' UNGA
The young activist didn’t mince words when she took the stage -- and took adults to task at the United Nation's Climate Action Summit on Monday.
"My message is that we'll be watching you," Thunberg said, sparking applause from the audience before launching into her powerful and emotional speech. “People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing,” she continued. “We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth,"
"You are failing us, but the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you and if you choose to fail us, I say we will never forgive you," is how she closed her speech.
