“How dare you?” Greta Thunberg gives world leaders what for at UN climate summit

By Thomas Gaulkin | September 23, 2019

In between the high-level diplomatic speeches, 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg spoke up, giving her already eloquent demands for adult accountability a new, intensely moving, ferocity. If you watch the video above and don’t share in her anguish, well, take a deep look inward and watch it again.
