Greta
Thunberg
You say nothing in life is black or white. But that is a lie.
A very dangerous lie. Either we prevent 1.5 degree
[Celsius] of warming or we don’t. Either we avoid
setting off that irreversible chain reaction beyond
human control or we don’t. Either we choose to go on
as a civilisation or we don’t. That is as black or white as
it gets. There are no grey areas when it comes to
survival.
