Greta Thunberg and youth activists drop truth bombs on climate conference
Greta is getting impatient.
On Friday, a reported 500,000-person climate change action protest swelled in the streets of Madrid. The protesters – many of them skipping school as part of the "School Strike for Climate" movement – were there to pressure world leaders attending the COP25 conference to take meaningful action on climate change.
This wasn't a kumbaya protest. Thunberg and her fellow youth activists seem frustrated by sluggish and ineffectual efforts of adults, and are not willing to hand out self-congratulation for a renewed wave of protests, either.
