Rep. Katie Porter asks Greta Thunberg for advice on 9-year-old daughter who thinks 'Earth is on fire'

In an Earth Day testimony before Congress, the 18-year old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, was not only asked about issues relating to the climate crisis, but how to parent children afraid of rising temperatures.
"I know that there are many young people who feel angry and sad because of all the things that some people are doing to this planet," Thunberg said. "That’s very understandable. It would be strange if we didn’t feel that way, because then we wouldn’t have any empathy. There is still much hope and if we choose to take action, there’s unlimited things that we can do. "The best medication against anger and anxiety is to take action yourself," she added. "So that’s what I would tell her — to take action herself because that will make her feel so much better."More Related News
