COP26: Thunberg tells Glasgow protest politicians are pretending

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has told young protesters that politicians attending COP26 are "pretending to take our future seriously".

The arrival of world leaders in Glasgow for the COP26 summit triggered a series of demos across the city.

"Inside COP there are just politicians and people in power pretending to take our future seriously, pretending to take the present seriously of the people who are being affected already today by the climate crisis.

"Change is not going to come from inside there. That is not leadership - this is leadership."

The Swedish teenager led cries of "climate justice" and "no more blah, blah, blah".

"We're sick and tired of it and we're going to make the change whether they like it or not," she added.

Lang Banks, director of WWF Scotland told BBC Scotland's Drivetime he agreed with Ms Thunberg that politicians were not fulfilling their pledges, such as the promise of $100bn to help poorer nations cut emissions by 2020.

He said: "The world leaders have not stepped up to the plate. They have an opportunity now to turn their warm words we've heard today into action.

"We cannot allow them to leave Glasgow without making sure that we are somehow closer to making sure the planet does not burn, and does not warm above 1.5C."

If the leadership can't be trusted- and that's pretty much a given- then she's right. It's up to populations to wrestle for the outcome.

I listened to this poor girl on NPR this. a.m.
Sad what the climate hoaxers have done in brainwashing these kids.
They should be taken away from their parents for child abuse.
And the U.N. gives her a podium and actually listens to this crap pretending to take her seriously for the advancement of Agenda 21.



Kids in S.F. think we have only 12 yrs. left before the End of Days Apocalypse.

So glad I raised well adjusted kids.

It was the U.N. that propped her up on the world stage to proclaim her depression and hopelessness. Not any right wingers.
