Environmental activist Greta Thunberg isn't at Davos for fun and games. She again took aim at the rich and powerful, who flew in via their private jets to discuss… climate change?

00:00I think it's insane that people are gathered here to talk about the climate
00:05and they arrive here in private jets.
00:19You only speak of green, eternal, economic growth
00:23because you are too scared of being unpopular.
00:30Young people need to realise that their future is at risk
00:42and they need to do something about that and get angry
00:46and then transform that anger into action.
00:49I travelled here by train and that I'm doing because I've stopped flying
00:54because of climate reasons, because I don't want to say one thing
01:02and then do another thing, I want to practise as I preach.
01:05And the trip here took about 32 hours, I think, from Stockholm to Davos.
01:14When I first started this I didn't expect anything,
01:17I thought that we'll just see what happens and if nothing happens then it's fine.
01:23But I never would have imagined that it was going to be this big and spread so far.
01:29I don't think the people in power are going to act and do anything here
01:34because why should they when we have to make them actually do something
01:43because they can't just continue doing like this.
01:46They have access to all the information
01:48and they have known exactly what priceless values they have been sacrificing
01:54to continue making unimaginable amounts of money.
01:57They say that we care about this very much but they obviously don't.
