“I don’t want your hope. I want you to panic … and act.” Climate activist Greta Thunberg does not mince words when speaking truth to power, and her soft voice silenced a room full of global leaders at Davos 2019 earlier this year. “Our house is on fire,” said the Swedish student activist who has galvanized 100,000 fellow teens around the world to follow her example in striking for the climate. “At Davos, people like to talk about success, but financial success has come with a price tag, and on the climate we have failed. And unless we recognize the failures of our system, there will be unspoken suffering.” www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/01/our-house-is-on-fire-16-year-old-greta-thunberg-speaks-truth-to-power/
