Greta Thunberg criticizes world leaders' climate actions as they meet at COP25 to discuss the crisis By Bianca Britton, CNN December 6, 2019 (CNN)Teen activist Greta Thunberg on Friday again criticized world leaders gathered for the COP25 conference in Madrid for not doing enough to stop the ecological crisis that's damaging the planet.
COP25 really is the 'point of no return' in the climate emergency. Here's why "We have been striking for over a year, and basically nothing has happened," she told activists at the talks. "The climate crisis is still being ignored by those in power, and we cannot go on like this." The sort of global children's protests Thunberg has inspired and led in recent months are "not sustainable," the 16-year-old continued. "We cannot go on like that," Thunberg said. "We would love some action from the people in power. ... People are suffering and dying from the climate ecological emergency, and we cannot wait any longer." 1
"Thunberg criticized world leaders for not doing enough to stop the climate crisis." She warned that "it is impossible for anyone to know how the world will look in 10 years" and said she hopes the summit will lead to "concrete" change. "The COP25 is not something we should just look past and ignore. Because every chance we get to improve the situation we must take," Thunberg said ahead of a planned Friday march in the Spanish capital. Around 25,000 people from 200 countries are expected to attend COP25, the last gathering of the group before 2020, the year the Paris climate accord goes into effect. Attendees include dozens of heads of state and government, business leaders, scientists and activists.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres said this week that the summit marks the "point of no return" in humanity's fight against climate change. Delegates are expected to try to ink a deal on emissions trading, which experts say could reduce greenhouse gases in line with critical targets set to avert disastrous and irreversible damage. Thunberg earlier had been mobbed by activists and reporters as she arrived in Madrid by train from Lisbon. Thunberg arrived in Lisbon after nearly three weeks at sea, after two Australian vloggers offered her a ride from the United States on their catamaran, La Vagabonde. She had already traveled halfway to Chile when the United Nations changed the location of COP25 to Madrid. The South American nation withdrew as host because after weeks of protests paralyzed the country. Thunberg refuses to fly because of the high levels of emissions emitted in air travel and instead uses boats, trains and electric cars. CNN's Sharon Braithwaite contributed reporting.
Meanwhile, away from the maddening crowds, the real world still lives with the benefits of fossil fuels and looks like the following:

Austria, Germany and Switzerland, a beautiful part of our world that Swedish teenage school dropout, Greta Thunberg, and climate alarmists from North America and Europe attending COP25 refuse to admit has existed for centuries and is doing beautifully now.

Summer – France The Convention of the Parties 25, COP25, December 2019 in Madrid, Spain is a vast theater of pretenses about carbon dioxide causing catastrophic man-made global warming. They refuse to acknowledge the beautiful world based on fossil fuels. They are determined to redistribute the world’s wealth and stop use of fossil fuels. China and Russia will never tolerate that. The climate alarmists will force a horrendous reduction in population, starvation, sickness and deaths of billions. It will be the worst crime against humanity, ever. Greta Thunberg and her backers demand it! Reason will prevail. 9
