Greta Thunberg How Dare You! Acie Cargill

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has had a very busy and important month since she arrived in New York by sailboat from England. She has participated in 4 climate strikes. Two in New York, one in Washington DC in front of the White House, and one in Montreal in Canada. She also spoke in two very important places, the US Congress and the United Nations General Assembly. She has also been interviewed several times for television, radio, and newspapers. She is in demand. Greta has become a very important person here in America. This 10,000 word booklet describes her appearances and also describes what climate change means and how it is going to affect everyone. One important part of the booklet is a transcription of her speech to the UN General Assembly for their Climate Summit on Sept 23, 2019. It was an emotional speech. Usually her speeches are not very emotional, but in this one she was angry and sad and trying to shame the global leaders for their climate inactivity. "How dare you!" She really doesn't like when leaders claim to be sympathetic to the cause of the young people, but then do nothing to help. She wants them to walk their talk. President Trump sarcastically called her a very happy young girl with a bright and wonderful future ahead of her. This was after her scathing speech at the UN. She answered Trump on Twitter by changing her profile to say she is a happy, young girl with a bright and wonderful future ahead of her.
