Climate strike in Lausanne<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tomorrow 150 weeks will have passed since we started to school strike for the climate. During this time more and more people around the world have woken up to the climate- and ecological crisis, putting more and more pressure on you \u2014 the people in power.<\/p>\n

Eventually the public pressure was too much, you had the world\u2019s eyes on you. So you started to act. Not acting as in taking climate action. But acting as in roleplaying. Playing politics, playing with words, playing with our future.<\/p>\n

Pretending to\u00a0t<\/span>ake responsibility. Acting as saviors as you tried to convince us that things are being taken care of, meanwhile the gap between your rhetoric and reality keeps growing wider and wider. And since the level of awareness is so low you almost get away with it.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s be clear \u2014 what you are doing is not about climate action or responding to an emergency. It never was. This is communication tactics disguised as politics. You \u2014 especially leaders from high income nations \u2014 are pretending to change and listen to the young people while you continue pretty much exactly like before.<\/p>\n

Pretending to take science seriously by saying \u201cscience is back\u201d while holding climate summits without even inviting a single climate scientist as speaker. Pretending to wage war against fossil fuels while opening up brand new coal-mines, oilfields and pipelines. You don\u2019t only continue business as usual as before, in many cases you are even speeding and scaling up the process.<\/p>\n

Pretending to have the most ambitious climate policies while granting new oil licenses, exploring future oilfields. Bragging about your so-called ambitious climate commitments, which if you look holistically are vastly insufficient, and then get caught not even trying to reach those targets.<\/p>\n
