Greta Thunberg: “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood”
Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, speaking at the United Nations General Assembly today, said she shouldn’t have to be addressing the crisis.
“I should be back in school, on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope,” she said. “How dare you!”
She continued: “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words — and yet, I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying.”
