Hypocrites and greenwash’: Greta Thunberg blasts leaders over climate crisis

“As long as we don’t treat the climate crisis like a crisis, we can have as many conference as we want, but it will just be negotiations, empty words, loopholes and greenwash.”

Until humanity admits it has failed to tackle the climate crisis and begins treating it as an emergency like the coronavirus pandemic, society will be unable to stop global heating.

“The climate crisis is just one symptom of a much larger crisis, [including] the loss of biodiversity, the loss of fertile soil but also including inequality and threats to democracy,” she said. “These are symptoms that we are not living sustainably: we have reached the end of the road.”.

“We can treat a crisis like a crisis, as we have seen because of the coronavirus. Treating the climate crisis like a crisis – that could change everything overnight.”
