Note from Nighthawk.NZ: Nighthawk.NZ is neither for nor against what Greta has to say... However, we don't believe the earth is going to be dead due to climate change in 12 years' time and don't think that many ecosystems are suffering due to climate change. Many of these ecosystems are flourishing. However the human race does need to clean up our act with pollution and waste.
