WASHINGTON, April 23, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – Environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg assailed powerful politicians on Thursday for “ignoring” climate change, as she demanded an end to fossil fuel subsidies and implored the current generation of leaders to take the crisis more seriously.
Speaking as world leaders gathered at a climate summit hosted by US President Joe Biden, the 18-year-old Thunberg warned that powerful interests and lawmakers were contributing to the “destruction” of living conditions around the globe.
“How long do you honestly believe people in power like you will get away with it?” the Swedish activist told US lawmakers at a House of Representatives committee hearing.
