Ahead of the UN Summit on climate change next week, teenage activist Greta Thunberg addressed Washington lawmakers — and told them their actions aren't good enough.
Addressing a room of politicians and activists, Greta Thunberg scolded lawmakers present—telling them,"I know you're trying but just not hard enough. Sorry."
"Young people are the army politically, which has arrived in the United States. You put a spotlight on this issue in a way that it has never been before. And that is creating a new X factor," Markey told Thunberg.
