Greta’s last speech is a blah blah too
During her last speech in Milan, Greta Thunberg has once again pointed the finger to global leaders for being responsible of the climate crisis. She repeatedly said that their “blah, blah, blah” are just empty words. Actually, she is doing nothing different than that.

Indeed, the economic growth of China is all about an export orientated, energy intensive - and so carbon intensive - development model.
