Greta Thunberg spoke on Climate Emergency & Floods in Pakistan
“In Pakistan, more than 33 M ppl were affected by the floods including 16 M children. That is more than the entire population of my home country Sweden… these are deeply tragic events & very unfair disasters.”
She said politicians were treating the climate as a distant problem. “Just take Pakistan now, as an example, a very clear example,” she said.
“We focus on the climate when we have time to spare, it feels like,” Thunberg said. “It’s something that – yes, it’s a problem and not an existential emergency that affects all other issues as it should be.”
“Therefore, people of course only focus on things that are right ahead of them instead of actually focusing on the larger holistic picture,” she said.
