Greta Thunberg ditches the foul language in sober speech to Glastonbury warning of a ‘total natural catastrophe’ driven by the ‘forces of greed’
Greta Thunberg ditched the foul language today as she addressed revellers at Glastonbury warning them that they face a ‘total natural catastrophe’ driven by the ‘forces of greed’.
The 19-year-old Swedish climate campaigner spoke at 5.15pm from the Pyramid Stage and delivered a speech about
climate change saying the crisis is 'not the new normal'.
She called out 'lying' political leaders, but insisted 'we can still avoid the worse consequences' and 'together we can do the seemingly impossible'.
'We are in the beginning of a climate and ecological emergency. This is not the new normal, this crisis will continue to get worse... until we prioritise people and planet over profits and greed,' she said.
She added that 'we need immediate drastic emissions reductions' and 'we need to make fundamental changes to our societies'.
