Lebronwon 10/31/19 10:24:15 AM #1:	https://www.cbsnews.com/news/greta-thunberg-nordic-council-environmental-award-prize-instagram/ Greta Thunberg has decided to decline the Nordic Council's environmental award and more than $51,000 in prize money. The Swedish teen climate change activist rejected the recognition in an Instagram post on Tuesday because "the climate movement does not need any more awards." Thunberg thanked the Nordic Council for the award, but she said she cannot accept it. "What we need is for our politicians and the people in power start to listen to the current, best available science," she wrote in the post. "The Nordic countries have a great reputation around the world when it comes to climate and environmental issues," she added. "But when it comes to our actual emissions and our ecological footprints per capita if we include our consumption, our imports as well as aviation and shipping then it's a whole other story." She criticized the entire Nordic region for not acting in accordance with the Paris Agreement, which all of those countries signed. "We belong to the countries that have the possibility to do the most," she said. "And yet our countries still basically do nothing." "So until you start to act in accordance with what the science says is needed to limit the global temperature rise below 1,5 degrees or even 2 degrees celsius, I and Fridays For Future in Sweden choose not to accept the Nordic Councils environmental award nor the prize money of 500 000 Swedish kronor," she said. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:929470486] in Greta Thun...
