"Remember Who the Real Enemy Is": Greta Thunberg's U.K. Trial for Climate Protest Gets Underway
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the U.K., Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg appeared in a
London court Thursday as her trial got underway for protesting outside
the entrance of a major oil and gas industry conference last October.
Thunberg spoke outside the courthouse alongside two co-defendants.

Greta Thunberg: "Even though we are the ones standing here, and climate,
environmental and human rights activists all over the world are being
prosecuted, sometimes convicted and given legal penalties, for acting in
line with science, we must remember who the real enemy is. What are we
defending? Who are our laws meant to protect?"
