Great Thunberg, a 16-year-old girl from Sweden, is one of the most influential media figures today. She is an environmental activist who wants to make the world aware of the crisis that the Earth will soon face due to climate changes. While climate change has been known as an issue for a long time, people still do not understand its severity and no effective actions have been taken.
Despite being so young, Thunberg has effectively made the world pay more attention and become more aware of the crisis to come. She calls out all of the politicians for their inactivity to coming up with effective solutions. She calls them out for giving the younger generation false hope of a better future when there may not be a future for them soon. This is one reason why so many young people are caring so much about climate change compared to the older generation. The older generation may not be around to feel the effects of climate change, but the younger generation will and the would have to bear the consequences of the actions of people today.
In some places, climate change is talk about as if it is something to believe in or not believe in. President Trump, the leader of an entire country, had once denied the existence of global warming and climate change. In Thunberg's speeches, she emphasizes for people to listen to not just her, but also listen to science. Climate change is based on facts and it is a reality, not a myth.
