01:41If we don't stop temperatures going over two degrees,
01:45we won't have the Great Barrier Reef.
01:48Antarctica will melt,
01:50and there will be no such thing as polar bears.
01:54My life will be so much more complicated than my parents' life
01:58because of one simple thing, climate change.

02:23I urge everyone to do the same as I do,
02:28and I think we children should get angry
02:31and that we should make our voices heard
02:34and make all the older generations accountable
02:38for what they have created.

03:01The climate is a very important subject,
03:04and it needs attention from all the politicians.

03:15We want to show our solidarity with our grandchildren
03:19who are here, so numerous in order to do something for the climate,

03:47I think it's useless to go to school
03:50if we're here to go to school in a world that doesn't move
03:53and that is completely destroying itself.
03:55So we're here for that, to be for the climate,
03:57because without climate, there are no more planets,
03:59and without planets, there are no more schools.
