Teen activist tells Davos elite they're to blame for climate crisis

(CNN)
Greta Thunberg - Caricature

“We are facing [an] existential crisis, the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced....Some people, some companies, some decision makers in particular have known exactly what priceless values they have been sacrificing to continue making unimaginable amounts of money.

An over opinionated freethinker, she mesmerises, testifies, convinces obnoxious, pompous, myopic, hoggish people (us!) to use boats, not fly
