Greta Thunberg has said the only way forward in the fight against climate change is to “treat the crisis like a crisis”.
The Swedish climate and environmental activist was speaking ahead of the airing of BBC series Greta Thunberg: A Year To Change The World, which follows her journey during a year off school in 2019 as she explores the science of global warming and challenges world leaders to take action.
Over three episodes, the 18-year-old witnesses first-hand the consequences of climate change and also meets climate scientists and experts, among them naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough.
On Monday 12/4 9pm BST episode 1 of “A Year To Change The World” will air on @BBCOne .It’s a documentary series in 3 parts which followed me during my year off school and explores the science behind the climate crisis. @bbcstudiospic.twitter.com/kamwork1kC
Greta Thunberg has said she does not plan to attend the UN climate conference due to be held in Glasgow later this year. The 18-year-old climate activist believes the COP26 summit should be postponed, with the focus instead on the global rollout of the coronavirus vaccination. World leaders are expected to attend the summit which has been described as the most significant international meeting on climate change since the Paris Agreement in 2015. It is being held at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) from November 1-12 and a call for volunteers to support staging the event has attracted 10,011 applicants – more than 10 times the roughly 1,000 places available.

CANCEL CULTURE
We had decided to take Scomo s advice and holiday here this year , booking flights and accommodation from Sydney for one week in Darwin, followed by four days in Uluru. All bookings for two couples were completed in early February. We received a credit notice from Qantas on March 22 saying our confirmed flights from Alice Springs to Uluru were cancelled due to COVID-19. On further investigation they had also cancelled our earlier flights from Darwin to Alice Springs on that day.
On checking the Qantas website, the flight from Darwin to Alice Springs is still flying, and we were able to rebook our seats on that flight with the credit note. However there are no flights from Alice Springs to Uluru. This seems ridiculous. Surely all travellers to Uluru are not coming out of Sydney or Melbourne direct?
