Greta Thunberg Calls World Society ‘One Big Nudist Party’

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is still on the warpath with countries and businesses that do not comply with carbon emission reduction targets. This follows her speech during the United Nations Climate Action Summit where she accused world leaders of a lack of action in relation to global warming.

Leader and spokesperson for the youth climate movement Greta Thunberg lashed out against governments and big corporations that resort to so-called “creative accounting” by pretending to have lower greenhouse gas emissions than in reality, according to comments during a podcast she recorded for Swedish public radio, which was aired on Saturday.

“It turns out our whole society is just one big nudist party”, the 17-year-old activist argued, the comments were then repeated on her Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Thunberg insisted during the podcast that the world has just several years left before it runs out of the current “carbon budget” intended to keep up with specific global average temperatures and prevent them from rising by more than 1.5°C this century, following the goal set by the Paris Climate Agreement. But according to the activist, many world leaders refuse to believe these forecasts and act accordingly.

“The climate and sustainability crisis is not a fair crisis. The ones who’ll be hit hardest from its consequences are often the ones who have done the least to cause the problem in the first place”, Thunberg warned.

Many have previously branded Thunberg, the instigator of worldwide school climate strikes, as an alarmist and doom-monger following her speech at the UN Climate Action Summit where she accused world leaders of stealing her “dreams” and “childhood” with “empty words”.

In January, US President Donald Trump lashed out against climate “prophets of doom” during the World Economic Forum in Davos, without directly referring to Thunberg.

According to Trump, who rejected “predictions of apocalypse”, it was a time for optimism and not pessimism.
