Why is the U.S. doing that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should not fall on us activists and teenagers who just want to go to school to raise this awareness and to inform people that we are actually facing an emergency,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/05\/rwanda-united-nations-cop26-greta-thunberg-climate-change\/\">Thunberg<\/a> explained that leaders like <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/22\/joe-biden-administration-interior-department-solar-panels-renewable-energy\/\">Biden<\/a> were afraid to make substantive progress tackling climate change because people are \u201cherd animals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels like many today \u2014 neurotypical people, people in general \u2014 are so focused on following the stream, doing like everyone else, because they don\u2019t want to stand out,\u201d Thunberg said, according to the Post. \u201cThey don\u2019t want to be uncomfortable. They don\u2019t want to cause any problems. They just want to be like everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think that\u2019s very harmful in an emergency where we are social animals,\u201d she continued. \u201cWe\u2019re herd animals. In an emergency, someone needs to say that we\u2019re heading towards the cliff. And everyone is just following, saying like, \u2018Well, no one else is turning around, so I won\u2019t either.\u2019 That could be very dangerous.\u201d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/10\/environmentalists-climate-change-renewable-energy-mining-resources\/\">(RELATED: Environmentalists Are Blocking The US From Controlling Its Renewable Energy Future)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7343316\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7343316\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Joe Biden delivers a speech at COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, on Nov. 2.

His administration, though, did oversee the largest oil lease sale in U.S. history in November, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/19\/joe-biden-department-of-the-interior-oil-gas-gulf-of-mexico\/\">auctioning off<\/a> more than 80 million acres of drilling space in the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats and environmental groups <a href=\"https:\/\/biologicaldiversity.org\/w\/news\/press-releases\/biden-administration-to-lease-out-80-million-acres-in-gulf-of-mexico-for-oil-days-after-climate-summit-2021-11-16\/\">condemned<\/a> the Biden administration\u2019s decision to move forward with the sale.

His administration also approved and funded several solar and wind projects across the country.<\/p>\n<p>During the interview published Monday, Thunberg also criticized the United Nations for failing to come to a major agreement during the November COP26 climate conference in Scotland. At the summit, she joined dozens of others protesting the negotiations for not being ambitious enough, saying leaders were engaging in \u201cblah blah blah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey succeeded in even watering down the blah, blah, blah,\u201d she told the Post. \u201cWhich is very much an achievement, if you see it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
