Summary
Key Points: 
  • The climate activist was at the Parliament to discuss the Climate Law, a proposal seeking to commit the EU to carbon neutrality by 2050.
  • Addressing the committee, Thunberg criticised the proposal as insufficient: The EU must lead the way.
  • You have the moral obligation to do so and you have a unique economical and political opportunity to become a real climate leader.
  • This climate law is surrender because nature doesnt bargain and you cannot make deals with physics.
