“Many people seem to have this double moral. They say one thing and the...” — Greta Thunburg Quote

“Many people seem to have this double moral. They say one thing and then do another thing. They say that the climate crisis is very important and yet they do nothing about it.”

“People are underestimating the force of angry kids.”

“I see the world in black and white, and I don't like compromising.”

“The climate crisis is both the easiest and the hardest issue we have ever faced. The easiest because we know what we must do. We must stop the emissions of greenhouse gases. The hardest because our current economics are still totally dependent on burning fossil fuels, and thereby destroying ecosystems in order to create everlasting economic growth.”

“I am an introvert; privately I am very shy, and I don't speak unless I have to.”

“I'm on the autism spectrum. I don't usually follow social coding and so therefore I go my own way.”

“Some people call it global warming; some people call it climate change. What is the difference?”

“Doing nothing to stop national parks being drilled for oil isn't what climate leadership looks like.”

“There are many who would much prefer that the word 'climate' never be mentioned and that the issue be eliminated from our national conversation.”

“If you compare Everest photographs in 1953 with its current state, things are melting. I imagine if I were a golfer in Indiana, I'd be hard-pressed to believe in climate change because nothing's going on there. But when you're up in the mountains and seeing the glaciers melt away, it's an obvious physical manifestation of a warming planet.”

“The effect of climate change is not simply to reduce rain during the summer months, but also to increase the number of torrential storms. When the rain falls that hard and fast, it cannot sink into the ground and go down to the aquifers.”

“As species are exterminated by shifting climate zones, ecosystems can collapse, destroying more species.”
