Climate Activist Greta Thunberg Addresses EU Leaders, to Meet with Pope
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sixteen-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who's led an
international campaign of weekly school strikes for the climate, spoke
about the protests from Strasbourg, France, as she prepared to appear at
the EU Parliament. She's due to meet Pope Francis on Wednesday.

Greta Thunberg: "I feel like the debate is shifting. More people are
talking about this more and are taking this more seriously and are
becoming more aware. But, of course, the only thing we need to look at
is the emission curb, if the emissions are actually increasing or if
they're reducing. And right now they're increasing, so that is the only
thing we should look at."
