The 16-year-old environmental activist Greta Thunberg scolded heads of state at a United Nations summit on Monday, saying they’re robbing her generation of a future by focusing on money and not on fighting global warming.
“You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,” Thunberg said in a speech at the UN Global Climate Action Summit in New York. “People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are at the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of endless economic growth. How dare you!”
