“Change is coming whether they like it or not,” the Swedish teenager said, hitting out at sceptics as she wrapped up the massive day of action in New York, where about 250,000 people protested.“We strike not just for ourselves but for the entire planet. Today we stand in solidarity not just with our fellow strikers around the world but for all those who cannot strike.

Strike organisers 350.org said yesterday’s rallies were the start of 5,800 protests across 163 countries over the next week.In New York’s Battery Park, tens of thousands of supporters gave Thunberg a rapturous reception, chanting her name as she called on leaders to act now to curb gas emissions. We demand a safe future. Is that really too much to ask? Today, she and 500 other youth environmentalists from around the world will take part in the first-ever Youth Climate Summit.

The sad irony is if the trends continue these kids will be the most wasteful generation.
