"The world needs to tackle the coronavirus pandemic and climate change
simultaneously, and guard against people who try to use the current
crisis to delay action on cutting carbon emissions, Greta Thunberg has
urged.
The Swedish climate activist, who revealed last week that she and her
father are likely to have had covid-19, said the response to the
outbreak revealed societal shortcomings, as well as our ability to
change in the face of a crisis, but had also proved that we are able to
act fast.
“If one virus can wipe out the entire economy in a matter of weeks and
shut down societies, then that is a proof that our societies are not
very resilient. It also shows that once we are in an emergency, we can
act and we can change our behaviour quickly,” she said in a conversation
on New Scientist‘s Big Interview podcast."
