Greta Thunberg hits out at 'political inaction' on climate change – links it to Australia's bushfire crisisSwedish activist Greta Thunberg has slammed "political inaction" in relation to climate change, writing it has contributed to Australia's bushfire “catastrophes”.
In a social media post on Sunday evening, the 16-year-old tweeted the ‘failure’ to “make the connection” between the “climate crisis” and “increased weather events” would contribute to “natural disasters” such as the current Australian bushfires. The environmentalist said that mentality is “what has to change… now”. Ms Thunberg was also recently named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2019.
