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.

03:15We want to show our solidarity with our grandchildren

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.
