Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is in the U.S., and one of her meeting was with former president Barack Obama.
Ain’t that the truth. Thunberg has organized student rallies to protest climate change all over the world, often responding to officials and leaders who say the kids should be in school with, “Why study for a future we may not even have?” Thunberg’s generation will bear an unfair brunt of the climate crisis that governments are refusing to address now, and that’s why she’s such an outspoken advocate.
The teen leader rose to prominence when she organized three weeks of sit-ins at the Swedish parliament. Her actions went viral on social media, and she’s since been traveling to organize other teens and children to join the fight against climate change,Most recently, she spent 13 days sailing to the U.S. on a zero-emissions sailboat to bring her fight for change here. She protested at the United Nations,, and has plans to address the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York next week.
