Teenager’s Speech On Climate Change May Change The World As She Tells Politicians To Panic

A teenager from Sweden wants her leaders to know, the earth is doomed, and unless action is taken now, we have much to fear.

Sixteen-year-old Greta Thunberg.

Greta Thunberg, 16, gave a rousing speech to the European Parliament on the disastrous effects of climate change. Her message was simple.

“I want you to panic,” Thunberg told the room of politicians. “I want you to act as if the house is on fire. I have said those words before, and a lot of people have explained why that is a bad idea. A great number of politicians have told me that panic never leads to anything good, and I agree. To panic, unless you have to, is a terrible idea. But when your house is on fire and you want to keep your house from burning to the ground, then that does require some level of panic …”

Thunberg added an ultimatum, just to be sure her leaders got the message.
