The world seems to have been cut in half: those who care about the environment and those who don’t give a damn. A group of youngsters led by climate activist, Greta Thunberg, have been very outspoken about their inheritance: a climate disaster.
According to Mandatory, the group of kids and Greta have filed a lawsuit against FIVE COUNTRIES in regards of climate change. Yep, planet earth is headed towards difficult times is something is not done soon according to science.
The lawsuit is a signal of how desperate we are for climate change reform since the volatile changes and other weather catastrophes clearly caused by climate change has not been enough to grab world leaders’ attention to this issue.
