15-year-old: leaders "behaving like children" on climate change; school strike spreading worldwide

just a snip of the article.
On behalf of all kids worldwide, 15-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg delivered a thundering smackdown to adult leaders at the UN’s 2018 world climate conference (COP24) currently happening in Katowice, Poland.
“For 25 years countless people have come to the UN climate conferences begging our world leaders to stop emissions and clearly that has not worked as emissions are continuing to rise. So I will not beg the world leaders to care for our future,” she said. “I will instead let them know change is coming whether they like it or not.
“Since our leaders are behaving like children, we will have to take the responsibility they should have taken long ago,” she said. “We have to understand what the older generation has dealt to us, what mess they have created that we have to clean up and live with. We have to make our voices heard.”
Good for her, smack them down.
