Greta Thunberg ups climate pressure ahead of the United Nations Climate Action Summit: 'This has to be a tipping point'
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, 16, arrives in the US after a 15-day journey crossing the Atlantic in the Malizia II, a zero-carbon yacht, on August 28, 2019 in New York. - "Land!! The lights of Long Island and New York City ahead," she tweeted early Wednesday.
Villaseñor reached out to Thunberg over social media last November to ask for advice before starting her own strike outside the United Nations. She remembers the Swedish teen’s reply: “My advice for future is to stay at it, week after week, month after month, then you will sooner or later start something big. So never stop.” Thunberg, Villaseñor says, added: “Hope to you join you some day if I can find a ship to America.
In her own youth, Godwin said she wasn’t particularly politically active, but the 2016 election changed that. Now retired, she spends her days drafting letters to legislators and comments to the EPA. “I share them with friends all over the country and invite them to use them if they want to. It’s just something that keeps me able to get out of bed in the morning.”
But for Thunberg, the American president is an after thought. “It’s strange: everyone always asks me about Donald Trump,” she said. “My message for him is just: ‘Listen to the science,’ and he obviously doesn’t do that… If no one has been able to convince him about the climate crisis — the urgency — then why should I be able to do that?”
Her family relocated to New York, to a community that was still struggling to repair the damage that Hurricane Sandy brought three years earlier.“I realized that the climate crisis follows you everywhere: from Sweden to Mexico to New York — the United States,” Bastida said Wednesday. “We have united behind the science and realize the climate crisis is affecting everyone, everywhere.”
