Climate activist Greta Thunberg argues it should not be up to activists and teenagers to inform people “we are actually facing an emergency.”

During an interview with The Washington Post, she was asked, “Are you inspired by any of the world leaders, by President Biden?”

Thunberg responded, “If you call him a leader — I mean, it’s strange that people think of Joe Biden as a leader for the climate when you see what his administration is doing.”

She added, “The U.S. is actually expanding fossil fuel infrastructure. Why is the U.S. doing that? It should not fall on us activists and teenagers who just want to go to school to raise this awareness and to inform people that we are actually facing an emergency.”

Thunberg explained what politicians should do to respond to the crisis.

“We say, first of all, we have to actually understand what is the emergency. We are trying to find a solution of a crisis that we don’t understand,” Thunberg said.

In September, she criticized Biden’s Build Back Better plan.

“This is all we hear from our so-called leaders: Words. Words that sound great but so far have led to no action,” Thunberg said during the Youth4Climate summit in Milan, Italy.

She continued, “This is not about some expensive, politically correct green act of bunny hugging, or blah, blah, blah. Build Back Better, blah, blah, blah.”

Thunberg mocked the bill, saying, “Green economy, blah, blah, blah. Net-zero by 2050, blah, blah, blah. Climate-neutral, blah, blah, blah.”

She claimed, “Our hopes and dreams drown in their empty words and promises.”

According to the White House, the bill “will cut greenhouse gas pollution by well over one gigaton in 2030, reduce consumer energy costs, give our kids cleaner air and water, create hundreds of thousands of high-quality jobs, and advance environmental justice by investing in a 21st century clean energy economy – from buildings, transportation, industry, electricity, and agriculture to climate smart practices across our lands and waters.”
