For the week I’ve started reading A Book called Greta Thunberg, it’s about a girl in Sweden who gets famous for her doings. When The Guardian published an article called” The Swedish 15-year-old who’s cutting class to fight the climate crisis “ until then in just weeks she’d gain many followers in Sweden she has movies and books and she has emerged as a role model to those on the spectrum and has educated others on what autism can look like. When she was 15 it all began when she entered a climate writing competition for the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet earlier in the year. When her essay “We know -- and we can do something now” was announced as one of the winning entries she was angry at that time of realization on what the world is going through about climate change. The summer had been Sweden’s hottest since records began over two hundred and sixty years ago. The world was warming at an alarming rate. The planet was suffering the drastic effects of climate change at a volume far greater than before. The Reason Why I’m reading this book is that it’s interesting I knew Greta Thunberg only through memes.
