According to the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, her Asperger syndrome made her better at recognizing the lack of measures to achieve the climate goals. Thunberg told Elle magazine in the UK that it was always being asserted that it was not yet in line with the Paris Agreement, but that at least it was 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 a long way from the bare minimum of what we should be doing,” the 19-year-old said in an interview published on 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 with more than 100 articles, experts and celebrities have their say on the climate crisis. “One of the key messages is: ‘Don’t listen to me, listen to the scientists, listen to those who are most affected,'” Thunberg told Elle.
