youth movement: Children are angry at adults because they believe past and current economic activities have been and are still being conducted at the expense of future generations, thus making children worse off than their parents and grandparents. ; Greta Thunberg's speech at the United Nations last month sparked a wide range of reactions, according to The Japan Times. Thunberg has galvanized the youth movement, calling for immediate actions to address climate crisis. In the recent months, people have been feeling increasingly uncomfortable as their conventional notion of the life cycle is being questioned by those who are much younger than them. But a large number of high-profile leaders, including some heads of states, characterized her as an alarmist and defended their position, claiming they are doing enough. Figures cited in her speech are based on data provided by well-known scientific organizations such as Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Factually, there was nothing new or astonishing in Thunberg's speech.
