A day after youth-led global climate strikes, several hundred young activists including Greta Thunberg gathered for a climate summit at the United Nations on Saturday, chiding older generations for doing too little to curb carbon emissions.

The day also saw young innovators proposing solutions, pitching their ideas to panels from leading global companies like Google.During one testy exchange, Kathleen Ma, a 23-year-old delegate who lives in New York turned to a representative from Microsoft, which this week announced a deal with Chevron and oilfield services company Schlumberger to provide cloud computing services.

Lucas Joppa, Microsoft's chief environmental officer, thanked her for the question, replying:"That's one that the entire tech sector and everybody in the world we live in today which is predicated upon an oil and gas economy has to answer. "It's one that you'll be hearing more about both from Microsoft and our peers in the broader tech sector as this moves forward."

He added that he welcomed the fact that the corporate sector had a heavy presence on the sidelines of the main UN climate summit this week, but that their efforts need to go beyond rhetoric and"they also need to be conscious that the greenwashing speech has no place anymore."

The MSM have been very big factors in scaring the kids to death. The MSM are the enemy of the people.

So this is the UN led NWO MO! Brain-wash the youth! Get them on side. Put the FEAR of CLIMATE CHANGE into their mind. Then implement our global plan. What will the UN elites THINK of next? Ummn? I wonder?

What a flop. 99% didn't march because we want reliable, affordable coal energy.

Zero emissions? These strikes achieved one thing ..... zero 👍👍
