What we refer to as normal is an extreme system built on the exploitation of people and the planet.

“It is a system defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order.”

Ms Thunberg added: “If economic growth is our only priority, then what we are experiencing now should be exactly what we should be expecting.”

The Climate Book ... she decided to venture into political waters in her speech - having previously avoided doing so.

The book is pretty capitalist tho 😂 https://theclimatebook.org/the-book/

Edit: by capitalist I meant it being proprietary and commercial; not open access, no free license. I did not mean things like surplus per se, or that its ideas promote capitalism.

BTW when you get serious about ecology and climate change, capitalism being a bad system which drives all that is the logical conclusion.
