I'm sorry, but this is such discredited old world thinking
The kind of thinking that had got us into this mess in the first place
Climate campaigners are fighting airport expansion in #Vienna#Paris#Amsterdam and many other places too. And they are now more likely to win.
A single tree can absorb 10 pounds of air pollutants a year. So every native tree we plant - and each established tree we protect and allow to grow - is good for our own health, as well as for wildlife, biodiversity, and tackling #climatechange 🌳🌳🌳
Before long the dandelions will be back - and when they are, please resolve to let them grow! No need to mow, and please don't use weedkiller. Pollinators like bees, butterflies & hoverflies love them, and they also support more than 50 insect species 🐝
A few of us have been trying to warn about this for a while, and have been scoffed at by foresters and conservationists. It's a real issue, and denying or dismissing it helps no one.
This week I’m attending the World Economic Forum in Davos with many other young inspiring activists!
Today I will make 2 speeches. One at 08:30 and the main one at 13:00.

@GretaThunberg You are correct. It *is* all about scientific facts!
Here are three very important ones:
1. CO2 is unquestionably the climate control knob.
2. The weather is getting worse throughout the globe.
3. There is an indisputable climate crisis.
It’s not about Meatloaf.
It’s not about me.
It’s not about what some people call me.
It’s not about left or right.
It’s all about scientific facts.
And that we’re not aware of the situation.
Unless we start to focus everything on this, our targets will soon be out of reach.
Apparently at one point I said 'If I must live alongside unrelenting pessimists then I wish they'd keep their opinions to themselves and let the rest of us get on with improving things' 😂😬🔥
Had a chat with one of those 'climate change will be catastrophic but humans deserve to be taught a lesson so I look forward to the apocalypse' types yesterday.
He kept saying 'I've read and talked to a lot of people about this'
No wonder he’s still hiding out in Mustique. Criticise Trump & screw his Brexit deal. Or take us into another war. Congrats @BorisJohnson this is the bed you’ve made. Our new weakness in the world & dependence on US horribly apparent https://t.co/KkQ62Mpzn8
FFS no @Anna_Tims the pedestrian’s enemy are toxic particulates that pass through the blood-brain barrier causing all manner of illnesses & premature deaths.
The cable ‘danger’ is soluble.
