"People ask me whether I’m kept awake at night by the prospect of 5 degrees of warming. I don’t think we’ll make it to 5 degrees. I’m far more worried about geopolitical breakdown as the injustices of climate change emerge as we steam from 2 to 3 degrees."

This generation of climate activists is tired of inaction, and they've caught the attention of leaders all over the world. So while this challenge is only getting more urgent, they show us the kind of action it'll take to meet this moment.

It was so hard to leave the amazing community of #XR tonight and head back to 'normal' life where there's not much feeling of hope. And so moved listening to Greta speak - will the message be heard? https://t.co/aWiYQewzFp
