By ignoring climate emergency, world leaders are forcing children to act: Greta Thunberg February 28, 2020 at 04:42AM

"Our leaders behave like children so it falls to us to be the adults in the room. They are failing us but we will not back down," said Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg on Friday addressing some 20,000 people at the Bristol Youth Strike 4 Climate (BY24C) event. She said the "uncomfortable truth" was being swept "under the rug" for "children to clean up".
