Greta Thunberg has returned to the UN climate summit, known as COP31. It has been four years since she last attended one of these meetings. She did not hold back with her message.
Thunberg told the crowd that the planet is "being killed." She warned that everything people love is at risk because of how we treat the environment. She also called the current climate talks a show of "hypocrisy." She argued that the talks are controlled too much by fossil fuel companies.
Fossil fuels are things like oil, coal, and gas that we burn for energy. These fuels are the main reason the Earth is getting hotter.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres joined her in the criticism. He blasted oil companies for their "fossil fuel addiction." He agreed that the world needs to stop relying on these fuels to prevent further damage.
The climate talks are happening in Turkey this year. World leaders, experts, and activists like Thunberg are gathered to discuss how to stop global warming. Thunberg’s return brings a sharp focus back to the role that big energy companies play in the climate crisis.
