On this day in 2019 at a meeting of the Senate climate crisis task force Greta Thunberg, the then 16-year-old Swedish activist, who has galvanised young people across the world to strike for more action to combat the impact of global warming, politely reminded them that she was a student, not a scientist – or a senator. In remarks meant for Congress as a whole, she said: “I know you are trying but just not hard enough. Sorry.

Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg

Thunberg's rise to world fame made her an ad hoc leader in the climate activist community.

She also faced heavy criticism, much of it mocking her as a naïve teenager. Thunberg's influence on the world stage has been described by a popular broadsheet and other media outlets as the "Greta effect". She has received numerous honours and awards, including an honorary Fellowship of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, inclusion in Time's 100 most influential people, named the youngest Time Person of the Year in 2019, inclusion in the Forbes list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women (2019) and multiple nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize.

After Thunberg graduated from high school in June 2023, her protest tactics began to escalate. As an adult, her protests have included defying lawful orders to disperse during defiant but peaceful confrontations with police, which have led to arrests, convictions, and one acquittal. Thunberg's activism has also evolved to include causes other than climate change, most notably taking a pro-stance over a topical issue somewhere in or around the the Middle East.

Note: It's steak night at the pub so there will be a few of us having food, however, no purchase is necessary.

There is ample free parking behind the pub in the supermarket car park for 3 hours, see waypoint or ///liquid.afflict.loaded
