Greta Thunberg's emotional speech to EU leaders. April 2019

She did it again! Greta Thunberg, the Sweedish teenager who started school strike movement, gave a powerful speech on climate change to MEPs in Strasbourg.

Swedish teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg says time is running out to halt climate change and she’s urging European politicians “to panic.”

Thunberg told Members of European Parliament today: “I want you to act as if the house is on fire.”

She said that “if our house was falling apart you wouldn’t hold three emergency Brexit summits and no emergency summit regarding the breakdown of the climate and environment.”

During a speech met with a standing ovation, Thunberg fought back tears as she warned about rapid species extinction, soil erosion, deforestation and the pollution of oceans.

In a reference to the international funding effort launched to rebuild the fire-ravaged Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, she urged the lawmakers to use “cathedral thinking” to tackle climate change.

Greta’s 10-minute speech was interrupted by frequent applause and ended with a 30-second standing ovation.

Take the test below and learn some more about climate change and global warming.
