Greta Thunberg has derided Boris Johnson’s “inactive” record on fighting climate change.
Speaking at a green youth conference in Milan before the COP26 meeting in Glasgow in November, the 18-year-old Swedish activist said: “Our leaders’ intentional lack of action is a betrayal of all present and future generations.”
Quoting phrases from a speech by the British prime minister at the leaders’ summit on climate in April, Thunberg said: “This is not about some expensive politically correct dream of bunny hugging, or build back better, blah, blah, blah, green economy, blah, blah, blah, net zero by 2050, blah, blah, blah, climate neutral blah, blah, blah.”
To clapping from the audience, she said: “This is all we hear from our so-called leaders. Words that sound great, but so far have led to no action.”
