Swedish activist Greta Thunberg mocked world leaders — including US President Joe Biden and the UK's Boris Johnson — this past week at a youth climate summit in Milan, saying the last 30 years of climate action had amounted to 'blah, blah, blah.'
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg mocked world leaders -- including US President Joe Biden and the UK's Boris Johnson -- at a youth climate summit in Milan on Tuesday, saying the last 30 years of climate action had amounted to"blah, blah, blah."
Thunberg imitated the leaders by repeating their commonly used expressions on the climate crisis, shooting them down as empty words and unfulfilled promises. "When I say climate change, what do you think of? I think jobs. Green jobs. Green jobs," she said, referencing Biden's speeches on the climate crisis."We must find a smooth transition towards a low carbon economy. There is no Planet B," she said, in a reference to a speech given by French President Emmanuel Macron.
