‘Together, we are unstoppable': Greta Thunberg addresses thousands at Vancouver climate rally

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg addressed thousands of demonstrators at a rally in downtown Vancouver on Friday, an event billed as a post-election push for Canadian leaders to take action on the climate crisis.

"The people in power are still acting as if there was no tomorrow," Thunberg, 16, told to the cheering crowds.

"We young people are telling them to stop doing that, to stop ignoring the consequences of their actions and inactions."

Vancouver police estimate about 10,000 people gathered outside the Vancouver Art Gallery to hear Thunberg speak. 

The teenage activist began her weekly school climate strikes in her native Stockholm more than a year ago, and her following has grown in recent months.
