I am an introvert; privately I am very shy, and I don’t speak unless I have to. Greta Thunburg Read Quote
I have Asperger’s, I’m on the autism spectrum, so I don’t really care about social codes. It makes you think differently. Greta Thunburg Read Quote
I think that once you fully understand the climate and ecological emergencies, then you know what you can do as well. And, of course, there’s a lot of things you can do in your everyday life, but we cannot be focusing on these individual things you can do. We have to see the full picture. Greta Thunburg Read Quote
The symbolism of the climate strike is that if you adults don’t give a damn about my future, I won’t either. Greta Thunburg Read Quote
Many people listen to what I have to say and I appear a lot in media, so therefore I influence a lot of people and therefore I have a bigger responsibility because I have a bigger platform. Greta Thunburg Read Quote
I do not see myself as a celebrity or an icon or things like that… I have not really done anything. Greta Thunburg Read Quote
It is hard sometimes to always be at the centre of attention, but when you talk about me you also have to talk about the climate. Greta Thunburg Read Quote
Some people say that I should study to become a climate scientist so that I can ‘solve the climate crisis.’ But the climate crisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions. All we have to do is to wake up and change. Greta Thunburg Read Quote
If there really was a crisis, and if this crisis was caused by our emissions, you would at least see some signs. Not just flooded cities, tens of thousands of dead people, and whole nations leveled to piles of torn down buildings. You would see some restrictions. But no. And no one talks about it. Greta Thunburg Read Quote
If burning fossil fuels was so bad that it threatened our very existence, how could we just continue like before? Why were there no restrictions? Why wasn’t it made illegal? To me, that did not add up. Greta Thunburg Read Quote
