According to Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, her Asperger syndrome made her better at recognizing the lack of action to meet the climate goals. Thunberg told Elle magazine in the UK that it was always claimed that it was not yet in line with the Paris Agreement, but that it was at least taking small steps in the right direction. But that was “bullshit,” which she recognized more easily thanks to her autism spectrum disorder.
“Some might say we’re trying, but the way I see it, we’re still a long way from the bare minimum of what we should be doing,” the 19-year-old said in an interview published Thursday.
Thunberg plans to launch her new book, The Climate Book, at the London Literature Festival on October 30 in the British capital. In the anthology of more than 100 articles, experts and celebrities talk about the climate crisis. “One of the most important messages is: don’t listen to me, listen to the scientists, listen to those who are most affected,” Thunberg told Elle.
