Quote by Greta Thunberg

“You lied to us. You gave us false hope. You told us that the future was something to look forward to. And the saddest thing is that most children are not even aware of the fate that awaits us. We will not understand it until it’s too late. And yet we are the lucky ones. Those who will be affected the hardest are already suffering the consequences. But their voices are not heard. Is my microphone on? Can you hear me?”

“We live in a strange world, where we think we can buy or build our way out of a crisis that has been created by buying and building things. Where a football game or a film gala gets more media attention than the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced. Where celebrities, film and pop stars who have stood up against all injustices will not stand up for our environment and for climate justice because that would inflict on their right to fly around the world visiting their favourite restaurants, beaches and yoga retreats.”

“We have not taken to the streets for you to take selfies with us, and tell us that you really admire what we do. We children are doing this to wake the adults up.

“Polvere sei e in polvere ritornerai, diciamo. Tutto ciò che una volta ha avuto vita riposerà nella terra, diciamo. Poi qualcuno ha scoperto un sacco di petrolio e il riposo della terra è finito. Abbiamo creato una società costruita sull'idea di dissotterrare i resti fossili della vita per poi, appena possibile, bruciarli nell'atmosfera altamente sensibile del pianeta.”

“The concept of climate refugees is mostly a deliberate exaggeration, designed to turn fear of refugees into fear of climate change, and so build a much wider base of public support for lowering CO2 emissions.”
