 "It depends on how you see it," Greta began when speaking on the ITV show. "We are speeding in the wrong direction and there is no sense of urgency. No one is acting as if we are in a crisis." She continued: "But on the other hand we have millions of people across the world joining the movement. "There has been a difference but not nearly enough." Phil then went on to ask the teenager if she ever feels pressure as the world watches her every move and often judges her harshly.

"It is too much responsibility for young people and teenagers to have. So many have the opportunity to do something but painfully don't. "It falls on us to do something but it shouldn't be that way - we need everyone."

Teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg spoke with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on today’s edition of This Morning, revealing how she handles pressure and her thoughts on campaign groups like Just Stop Oil
Greta Thunberg appeared on today’s edition of This Morning to discuss how she handles scrutiny from critics and various protest methods.
The teenage activist, 19, spoke with the ITV show’s hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby this morning to promote her new book, and explain how the pressure to stop climate change shouldn’t be left to young people like herself to tackle.
As Phil and Holly introduced Greta as one of the world’s ‘most influential voices’, a montage of the activist’s speeches and protests played for ITV viewers – including footage from the school strike that made her a household name at 15 years old.
Sitting on the sofa opposite the two presenters, Greta was quizzed by Phil on if she feels anything has changed since she first skipped school four years ago to raise awareness of the issues facing our planet.
