Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg urges EU lawmakers to 'act as if the house is on fire' as she warned time is running out to halt climate change
Sweden's Greta Thunberg told lawmakers,"I want you to act as if the house is on fire," as she warned about species extinction, deforestation and ocean pollution.
Swedish teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg said time is running out to halt climate change and she's urging European politicians "to panic.""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."
"I think it is essential to vote in the European Union election," Thunberg said when asked about the May 23-26 elections for a new European Parliament.
