It 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<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time that Thunberg has panned Biden\u2019s effort to curb global warming, claiming back in the spring that&nbsp;\u201cthe science\u201d shows that the president\u2019s climate change policies are inadequate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand that it\u2019s difficult&nbsp;and I would not want to be in a politician\u2019s position right now. I can\u2019t imagine how hard it must be. But,&nbsp;I would just like you to basically just treat the climate crisis like a crisis,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/05\/18\/greta-thunberg-mocks-john-kerry-for-climate-change-comments\/\">told<\/a>&nbsp;MSNBC\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Mehdi Hasan Show. \u201c<\/em>They have said themselves that this is an existential threat. They better treat it accordingly, which they are not. They are just treating the climate crisis\u200b \u200bas it was a political topic, among other topics. Treat it as a crisis, that\u2019s the Number one step\u200b we need to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Biden, Thunberg also criticized&nbsp;the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference during her interview with the <em>Post<\/em>, saying the result of the summit was more empty words rather than action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, in the final document, they succeeded in even watering down the blah, blah, blah,\u201d Thunberg stated. \u201cWhich is very much an achievement, if you see it that way. Of course it\u2019s a step forward that, instead of coming back every five years, they\u2019re doing it every year now. But still, that doesn\u2019t mean anything unless that actually leads to increased ambition and if they actually fulfill those ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we all know, or as we might know, the so-called \u2018f-word\u2019 was included for the first time in this document: fossil fuel. Which makes you wonder what they have been doing these decades without even mentioning fossil fuels for a problem which, to a very, very large extent, is caused by fossil fuels,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd instead of \u2018phasing out\u2019 [coal, the document\u2019s language became] \u2018phasing down.\u2019 So, yeah, that is one very clear example.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swedish teenage climate change activist\u00a0Greta Thunberg once again knocked President Joe Biden, this time hinting the U.S. leader isn\u2019t a true \u201cleader\u201d on combating climate change.
