Politicians, including Sweden s leaders, are still in denial over the threat from climate change, environmental activist Greta Thunberg said on Monday after meeting Sweden s Prime Minister Stefan Lofven. We climate activists have had, I don t know how many meetings with the people in power and it is, basically, the same discussion every time - there is a complete denial, Thunberg told reporters after the meeting.
