"People are suffering, dead people and ecosystems are collapsing. We are at the beginning of the mass extinction process, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales about perpetual economic growth. How dare you?", Tonberg scolded leaders while speaking at the UN. -30 years that science says so clearly. How dare you continue to look away and say that you are doing enough, with the required politics and solutions still not in sight? "

When the announcement of her choice for Time magazine's Woman of the Year came out, Tonberg was on her way to talks about the climate crisis in Madrid. There, too, she reprimanded political leaders and businessmen in the face of global warming. "The real danger is when politicians and CEOs try to show that there is actual action being taken, but in practice, almost nothing is done other than smart accounting and creative public relations," Tunberg said.
